Checking which hotfixes are effectively integrated

[Coustal]

Hi,

I have integrated with nLite 1.2.1 I guess all the available hotfixes on top of SP2 for IE6, Outlook Express, WM9 and Windows itself (around 150 hotfixes). When I check in Add or Remove Programs after installation I only see 4 hotfixes (KB898458, KB886540, KB928388, KB918093). I don't understand why these ones would be special to see them here and not the others. Is there a way to check that all are really installed?

The hotfix listed here are those that could not be integrated to your CD and which have been installed during the windows setup.

Hotfix integration replaces files on the CD and this saves a lot of space.

Sometimes, this causes problems and hotfix have to be installed after setup. These hotfixes can be found on your CD : I386/SVCPACK.

To check which hotfixes have been applied, use Windows Update, HFNetChk or MBSA.

I advise HFNetChk not only because it is the fastest but also because it doesn't flag files removed by nlite as missing updates.

WindowsUpdate?

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer?

Camarade_Tux beat me to it. Yes you can also use HFNetChk; is what TommyP recommends to check after HFSLIPing.
