I have created a tool to help install hotfixes if you manually download them for Windows XP. Save the file on your C: drive and run the tool. Browse to the folder where you have saved your hotfixes, and click install. What the tool does is create a batch file to install all the hotfixes. You need to make sure the source directory name is 8 characters or less.

HotfixInstall.exe

Sounds good but I think you should post this in the unattended Windows forum .

A little Clarification: What would you do if you downloaded these hotfixes after you installed Windows? It would be impractical to slipstream a new DVD every month. That is why this tool was designed. Because I download these hotfixes manually, I had to edit a batch file in the past for every hotfix manually. This tool does it AUTOMATICALLY. I hate Windows update because of the darn nag screens so I prefer to do it this way, and I am sure others will too. THE PRICE IS RIGHT !! I am offering this tool for free. But, if you prefer to slipstream a DVD every month, than that is up to you.

I rather like this tool much better.

Yeah, because you wrote it... I like my tool better because I wrote it. So there!!!!!

I like the tool.

I was wandering if it were possible to use different sets of switches for no backup (/n) and for integrate /integrate:[browse]. The first one would be useful if you don't want backup files created.

Thanks!

Yeah, I could do that. I wanted to see if people were interested in the tool first

It works under Windows 2000. All of the old updates have eventually been replaced by more recent versions, and it has no probs there, either.
