chriskoivu Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 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
kof94 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Sounds good but I think you should post this in the unattended Windows forum . Edited June 3, 2007 by kof94
chriskoivu Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 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.
Glenn9999 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I rather like this tool much better.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mode=linearplus
chriskoivu Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Yeah, because you wrote it... I like my tool better because I wrote it. So there!!!!!
os2fan2 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 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!W

os2fan2 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 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 All of the old updates have eventually been replaced by more recent versions, and it has no probs there, either.
