Hey, nice work!
Is the source available?

[easy]

thx for using it.

which part are you interesting in.
maybe i can help you.

this tool is based on cmd batch scripting.
with a tool converted to .exe file.

here are the tools i use.
except wget.exe all the other comes from microsoft
and is available on their website.

the links for updates are above. this updates appear
when you install windows xp w/sp3 from scratch.

with a good idea you also know how is be making.

btt: i'm not developer in c/c++ or else.
this tool is just a batch scripting.

maybe you can show me how i code in c++

tested on a German version of xp Prof (MSDN) worked well. but I wish you could include an option for one to d/l and integrate ie8 and WMP11.
that would be fine indeed. It is all smiles here in Graz.

Looks good. Going to test it out.

Concerning your hotfix list...

You can remove WindowsXP-KB954459-x86-ENU.exe & WindowsXP-KB955069-x86-ENU.exe. Both are replaced by WindowsXP-KB973687-x86-ENU.exe.

You can add WindowsXP-KB953155-x86-ENU.exe & WindowsXP-KB970483-x86-ENU.exe. These are used if added through Add/Remove Windows Components.

There's also WindowsXP-KB975254-x86-ENU.exe but due to a filename difference this is a problem update. Again, only used if added later on through Add/Remove Windows Components. nm, you're using the svcpack method

Everey time I check & DL hotfix that is supposed to replace previous one(s), don't see any mention of a relation to or being replacement for previous ones on the ms download page. This leaves the question of just how do I know if what someone posts is correct, no disrespect to "X" here, it's a question I find myself asking many times recently.

For example in the above example both KB954459 & KB955069 are to do with Vulnerabilities in XML Core Services while the replacement, KB973687 is related to sending too many http or something which seems unrelated to the previous two. So how do I know whether to trust ?

When it's a security update replacing an older security update you will see it on the bulletin page. For example, visit this page - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms09-055.mspx. See the column "Bulletins Replaced by This Update".

WindowsXP-KB973687-x86-ENU.exe replacing 955069 and 954459 is a rare case because 973687 is a non security update. Microsoft will not have any mention of MS08-069 being replaced because it's not security related.

What I found is that the files originally replaced by MS08-069, msxml6.dll and msxml3.dll, are contained in 973687.

To see for yourself, take the 3 updates, use the /extract[:path] switch and look at the file version numbers. 973687 will have the highest version number and has the fixes from MS08-069 incorporated into them.

Thanks X, I was editing my post when you replied.
I'll check out your advice, your example shows just how difficult it can be to get a grip of things.

When a new hotfix is released by MS is it just a matter of downloading it to the Slipstrm\Hotfixes\ folder then running the Hotfix_enu.exe prog to create another slipstreamed disk or are there other actions necessary, or does an updated list of hotfixes need to be downloaded?

[easy]

@g-force: i've read your posting.

Not a german country-flag, but your tool seems to be written in german

yes, this tool was written originally in german and converted to english while giving to english speaking people.

@Vospers:
this tool includes all of updates until 11/2009. you dont need to download update list.
i want to show which updates/hotfixes get slipstreamed with this tool.

in future this tool would download update lists from a server and slipstream.
i'm planning how i integrate downloaded update lists to this little tool and also how
it looks like.

@-x-
you're right.

the update replaced the security updates. but for me its simple to integrate all the updates
appeared in windows update. its even difficult when i check the replacements ...

i am also working with the bulletins and check the right version (xp/sp3)

Quote

nm, you're using the svcpack method

which method are you providing to integrate updates ?
i use the /integrate method.

If you're slipstreaming IE8 you should use IE8-WindowsXP-KB974455-x86-ENU.exe instead of WindowsXP-KB974455-x86-ENU.exe.
If not slipping Ie8 would that hotfix still be ok, are either ok ?

Now for another one kb954459 to do with security of MSMXL6, there are 2 hotfixes, is this another case of one better for slipping ? Do I need to install both ? Neither ms download page mentions the other. See pic.

I don't provide any method. I personally use nLite. There is also HFSLIP. Both slipstream the updates.


@Patosan The one on the right is for XP SP2. The one on the left is the correct one.

The /integrate method actually also slipstreams the binaries, and isn't the same as the regular old svcpack.inf method... The installers are run at T-13 just for the reg-entries, cat files and possible post-install commands, and not for replacing files...

Bloated/ineffecient - yes, but still slipstreaming however

[vingo]

Hi Easy,

I am often facing computers without internet connection. In this case, after I installed XP SP3 from scratch, do I have to download all these hotfixes from Microsoft and put them into a folder, and then run your tool to get them updated?

Do you have all these hotfixes files available for us to download here?

Thanks,

Vingo

[cluberti]

Redistributing Microsoft binaries would be a violation of their copyright (and a violation of board rules). However, there is a tool here called Windows Updates Downloader that can handle doing the download of hotfixes for you.

[leonkehoe]

Is this tool the preferred way to integrate XP hotfixes released post-SP3?

[-X-]

This tool is from 2009. It's abandoned.

You can use nLite and either an update pack or my UDC script available at http://xdot.tk/updates.html (Note: I'm currently 2 months behind)
