pontypool Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I am running through the tutorial of how to create an unattended setup of windows with nlite. and now it says I need the update numbers and I have to download the update files seperately (not use auto update) so where can I get these from without having that genuine authentication crap?

Delprat Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 You're lucky, you're english !Go there : http://hf.xable.net/index.phpOr try out Ryan's update pack.++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreens Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Ryan's update packs make it a breeze. He makes it very, very simple. Google a bit for it, grab them, integrate them (and the other stuff he's got on the page) and you're all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontypool Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 his page is great for archiving updates and creating that one huge update to intergrate with. But what about installing an entire list of updates on your existing install of xp? its not really practical to install each individual update there are 230! maybe he could merge them into one installer , just a thought.

What do you mean by that? the downloader that he mentioned is very easy because you can check the box and it autmatically installs all the critical updates. although the updates from ryans website and others, just show the huge list of downloads that you have to download and install individually, I just dont understand what point your making.I do want to integrate the complete list of updates into my unattended disc (im using ryans) but i also wanted to download all the updates on my friends computer right now (without using an unattended disc)therfore I am integrating ryans windows update pack for my personal unattended disc and I will refer my friend to the windows update downloader mentioned her, so he can update his windows without using windows update online, also I can use the download updater for myself, to top up new updates later. Does that clarify ? Edited September 25, 2006 by pontypool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Just FYI - Windows Updates Downloader does not install the updates for you. You'll need to either install them manually, or write a batch file to install them silently.It does give you a proper way of downloading the updates themselves so you can get the files straight from the source.

pontypool Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 It doesnt even check what updates you have? im sure i wasnt missing as many updates as it claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 WUD just downloads all required updates since SP2. It doesn't matter if you install updates that you've already got, since it'll just replace files that are already there.WUD is IMO the best way of having all the critical updates. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have them installed (that's for you to ensure), but you can easily toss the updates onto a CD or USB key and run them on another computer now.

tarquel Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi pontypool [are you from there btw? ]If you're new to this stuff then your best bet is to follow the guides and give AutoImage a try [its a GUI of sorts] combined with nlite [component removal], RyanVM's hotfix pack [for the updates] and BTS's DriverPacks [for drivers strangely enough ]Start off with just some of that at a time and you'll be making custom CDs for yourself in no time........just remember distributing them is illegal CheersNath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontypool Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) thanks tarquel, and yes i live in pontypool.Why not use nlite for everything you mentioned? and where can autoimage be found? googe keeps bringing up something about cars.
