Does that mean that we can delete those files if we're running Windows XP?

Yes, and you can delete those files for win2k as well.

bulls*** removed....

Thanks prathapml.

Two things now... At the top of the first post it says that this is only for critical updates, but the Advanced Networking Pack recommended update is listed. Is this just for the sake of noting that it can't be installed with SVCPACK, for those who choose to use it? And the Windows Media Player 8 update is referred to as Q817787 but is actually KB817787. The sample code on the unattended guide's Installing Hotfixes page also makes this error... Just saying that it would be good to fix those, as it's been one of the many things that has tripped me up so far.

'KB' or 'Q' isn't important in the filename.

New update from M$

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB867801)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

sorry for the lazy questions, but...

what does this particular update replace if ever?

will this run under svcpack.inf?

edmoncu, it replaces all previous IE cumulative updates as usual

List updated:

New Cumulative update for Internet Explorer released (867801), this replaces the last cumulative update (832894) and all the ones before that. We stress that you remove all old IE cumulative updates from svcpack.inf to avoid issues.

I just want to thank you, Aaron, for making such a great job with this list! Very nice...

I might be wrong in this latest IE update being "cumulative" at all. Because of this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=871260

Going to do a clean install of XP SP1 just to check.

EDIT: Everything's fine

'KB' or 'Q' isn't important in the filename.

I know, I meant that either the code on the page needs to be updated or the file needs to be renamed after downloading to be the same as the code in order for the batch to actually open it. It's a no-brainer, but it was easy for me to miss, personally.

i am suprised the new redist is 33 MB, the OPK is 11 MB. do someone known why?

its because this is a multi-language pack. a smaller, single language pack wiill be released at another time

I have been working with your information (about 7 months). I was wondering why the files for OEM Unattended are not specific. One choice I found was simple 8.3 names working in instances. Another choice was stating that OEM installation was the event of full install. Another choice which I don't understand and would ask help about is the WINNT.BAT file, could it be used for UPGRADE INSTALLATION. I have made a path work here on an Upgrade Unattended CD and include it to like the example (OemPnPDriversPath=OEMDRVRS\1via4in1;OEMDRVRS\2net;OEMDRVRS\3cabaud;OEMDRVRS\3msnvidia;OEMDRVRS\3nvcinem;OEMDRVRS\3SDBLSTR;OEMDRVRS\4elsa;OEMDRVRS\4nvcap;OEMDRVRS\8MODEM;OEMDRVRS\9MOUSE)

this path works during Upgrade

CD:\I386\OEMDRVRS\...

Including madeup winnt.bat ???
