Does it even matter?*Before Nlite, I merged WMP11 with "WMP11 Integrator 1.1 Build 60". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsukai Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 dont think it really matters. since the most recent file version will stay (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantlett Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The order definitely matters. In your setup, however, it is not critical.I would put the Post SP2 Update Pack last just to be sure.Just try it and test it using Microsoft's Virtual PC 2004. It's very powerful and it's free.

Mr Reorg Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The order definitely matters. In your setup, however, it is not critical.I would put the Post SP2 Update Pack last just to be sure.Just try it and test it using Microsoft's Virtual PC 2004. It's very powerful and it's free.Can I install it on a machine running XP Home, to test an unattended install of XP Home? The system requirements mentioned on the MS site refer to XP Pro; no mention of XP Home, whichleads me to believe the answer is 'No'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would put the Post SP2 Update Pack first. before all other apps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantlett Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) mitsukai - nLite is definitely wise, thank you very much. The problem is that not all MS Updates have dates embedded within them and some updates use different date formatting then others. This is why the use of RyanVM's update packs is the best solution rather then using the actual MS Updates.Mr Reorg - I guess that answers your question Birds - This would not be a good idea since the Post SP2 Update Pack has an IE7 update inside. This is why I suggested the order I suggested. Believe me, I did this many times. Edited January 24, 2007 by Gantlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeman Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 thanks Gantlett.but what about the DirectX? where should I put it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantlett Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) As a rule of thumb - I would put DX before the Post SP2 Pack, as it is a component of Windows and there have surely been updates for it. Also, some updates depend on its existence (although in such case this isn't critical). The same goes with IE7 (and that's why I told you to put it too before the Post SP2 Pack), only in that case I know for sure there are at least two updates for IE7 contained in the Pack.So the rule is "Think Logically": "Has the component I'm adding been updated (hint: Check RyanVM's list at his website, that's what it's there for...) since it was released?"Regards,Gantlett.
