Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1


Aaron

Recommended Posts


When you install Windows XP SP2, then you don't need to install these updates.

You just update Hotfix-SP3.

There actually is an interesting prospect with post-SP2 hotfixes - you'll be able to slip-stream even the hotfixes into your windows CD. I'm all excited and waiting for it!

@edmoncu-

Well, those scenarios you describe are a bit complex to explain. You'll have to carry out a trial-and-error method yourself (to succeed). Or, you can stick to the tried-and-tested methods, and save yourself some pain.

there already is one hotfix you can do that with you know. It's the 840 one. The first one anyways. I forget the specific number, but it supports the /integrate switch.

See The KB 828930 - it details how most current (Q819696, Kb822603,

Kb823182, Kb823559, Kb824105, Kb825119, Kb840374, Q329115, Kb818043) files that use 'update.exe' to execute can use the /integrate switch. There is a newer update tool 'xpsp1hfm.exe' for dual mode updates.

good news!

You can junk all your hot-fixes, and svcpack.inf fiddling, and all the head-aches of testing after that. SP2 for winXP is getting released in a few hours. Just slip-stream that into your XP install source, and you'll be OK. No hot-fixes/updates/add-ons needed.

the only latest XPSP2 version i am seeing is the RTM version (build 2180?) which i think has been pulled up at the last minute?

A number of builds have been tagged rtm, so nothing's definite on what the final build number may be. This subject doesn't fit in this thread.

You know that point where after the blue setup screen reboot, it comes to those 5 steps where it installs components and such before actually going into XP inself? At that point somewhere close to the end, (while installing components stage), it gives me a Run32 Error c:\documents

Anyone have any idea where this error comes from, or had something similar in the past? Or is there a way to supress error pop up boxes completely?

Make sure 817787 isn't in svcpack.inf. This is mentioned in the first post that 817787 is not svcpack.inf supported as it causes a C:\Documents error like you said.
