ShahinD Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 while integrating Windows XP hotfixes and patches, does nLite over write old files over new files if there is a file in more that one hotfix with deffrent versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You will always get the most recent file, no matter the order of the hotfixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddymon Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You will always get the most recent file, no matter the order of the hotfixes. Would you mind providing a link to where I can find that info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I don't have any ready but this has been stated many times and been proven true with WU, HFNetChk or MBSA even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I needed to know. I will try with a test CD and post results in a new topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was would there be a problem doing that if IE7 was integrated as well. I am testing this scenario right now on a Virt PC. No problems yet, but then again I wouldnt expect any since nlite actually asked me if I wanted to keep the newer file and I said yes. I'll post more later once I'm actually in windows on the Virt.

bledd Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 just use a clean source, you shouldn't really put packs on top of each other, since 2.1.5 has things that are in 214 that are now obsoleteunless ryan specifically says that a pack is ok to overwrite an older one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 bledd is pointing out something important : re-nliting and already nlited source may cause problems.And patching and already patched source with a unofficial pack too.(does not apply to official updates because fast nothing is changed with them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddymon Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) just use a clean source, you shouldn't really put packs on top of each other, since 2.1.5 has things that are in 214 that are now obsoleteunless ryan specifically says that a pack is ok to overwrite an older oneThis is true, but since I had _just_ finalized my CD (prior to burning) when 2.1.5 came out I didnt want to have to redo all of the integrations and tweaks and unattended setup. Besides that, both nlite and RVM Integrator now process a section in the inf that deletes obsolete files, so technically speaking (as long as ryan makes his packs right, which he does for the most part), as far as I can tell the problems from integrating a pack on top of an old one shouldnt occur any more. As long as you dont do like I did and put IE7 in the mix, unless you know what you are doing.bledd is pointing out something important : re-nliting and already nlited source may cause problems.And patching and already patched source with a unofficial pack too.(does not apply to official updates because fast nothing is changed with them)I know, but like I said above, I had just made my source with all of the addons and 2.1.4 and didnt want to have to reintegrate.-----------------------To recap on the other thread that was mentioned, I took a source with SP2, put RVM 2.1.4 on it, put IE7 on it, and then put 2.1.5 over it, and kept newer files. That disabled tabbed browsing in IE, but no other problems. So I redid it with SP2 source, RVM 2.1.4, IE7, then 2.1.5 keeping newer files, and then IE7 again NOT keeping newer files. That time it worked as if I had done 2.1.5 and then IE7 on a clean source, in case anyone wants to know.

bledd Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 the easiest way to keep an upto date copy of everything is to use $OEM$ folders for your programs, probably takes a bit longer to install because the programs aren't directly integratedbut its far easier to keep all things up to date and seperate from your xpdisc files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to make a disc once every 3 months with the most up-to-date packs that are released. I'm not too worried about if the apps are 100% up to date on CD, just the Win Updates, and in between CD's I can just download them from Windows Update.

Camarade_Tux Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Or do it over, use a virtual machine to test. If you don'tget any bug then that's fine. If you get a single problem, redo the whole process.Again, you should be able to integrate new windows update over your source without problems. But don't integrate a new pack over.
