DaveXP Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 devil270975 would you mind if i made my own windows update tuturiol based on your method and put in on my website as i like this method very much and i think it is easy to understand.

DaveXP Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Do you think that you could possibly give us all a little rundown of how this works?I noticed that the registry keys are incrimented at a value of 10 per key. Any perticular reason for this?They do not have to be 10 per key i ran a setup with them as one per key and worked ok to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 teminator3, no that is fine use it as you will...as regards the 10 increment, i know, but it is advisable to use 3 digits ie:001,002,003 etc...Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 A registry file must always have:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demlak Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Do you know if %systemdrive% will work, instead of having to write the physical drive path?you can use "||" instead of "%systemdrive%" or "C:"..a little look at the windows help will help sometimes =)problem is to import reg files on using this method.. not many programs like the || as a variable.. regedit don´t like it..see my two ng postings of august:http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&...DGoogle%2BSuche (german)andhttp://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&...DGoogle%2BSuche (english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomic7431 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 ok this looks cool but we really need a how to on this as theres been a lot of bits n bobs posted in here, it just all needs clearing up in one post or how to Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demlak Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 no, if you are to lazy, it´s your problem.. all info which is needed, is in this thread.. i don´t understand, why so many people don´t want to "work" for there solutions.. they want "final products"if YOU want a "How To", why don´t YOU write it?

atomic7431 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 ok firstly i have read the posts in this thread, sceondly from what ur saying no one is aloud to not understand what has been posted or there automatically lazy or havent looked, well ive got news for u, its not as cut n dried as that and other peeps in this thread have also asked for a tutorial of some sort. Ive worked plenty to get my auto install working with very few questions and left feedback and help for certain things where i can, your ignorance to help others is ur downfall, ur post imo was a wasted one and very unhelpfull and i hope an admin or mod sees this and takes note of ur aptitude towards helping others. Its a shame peeps like u spoil it for every one else!also if i knew how to do a how to for this then i wouldnt be asking for one, so that was a little pointless as well, unless of course u was indirectly asking for someone to do a how to cause u dont know either.And i thought this forum was for getting help when u dont know something??

demlak Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 getting help means getting answers for questions, not getting final solutions...i hate it, when a few people worked on collecting information from the WORLD WIDE web to just ONE THREAD, and people like you asking for a final solution without doing anything for it..better said: you want the hard work of others as a gift, without doing anything for iti know.. my english is bad and i hope i was able to show what i mean.
