WINDOWS2000-KB832004-X86-ENU.EXE - TIMEDATE.CPL 5.0.2195.6876

That update is already listed on the Windows 2000 Post-SP4 Updates for HFSLIP page.

Guys, I need your help just about bristols' updates page.
Well, I've been away from these pages for some weeks and, of course, in the meanwhile the updates page was... updated :lol:

Now, I already own many of the listed hotfixes but how can I say which one has been replaced since then? And which one has been added?
I mean, is there a fast/easy way to detect just the new/replaced hotfixes instead of checking them all one by one?
How do you guys do this? Do you use the 2k file checker? (I can't because my hotfix collection is stored in a set of subdirectories with custom names while my HF\ dir is usually empty)

Unfortunately the best way is probably to check the updates from bristols' page one by one

AKuHAK has updated the file-checker for W2K, based on bristols list. The last modification was made on 17.May.2011. Probably someone can update this W2K-list of the file-checker to the current state of bristols list.

There were around 100 hotfixes added after May 17

Yes... you both are very active!

But in general it's the same duration for updating the list (and run the file-checker with this) in comparison to check every file manually.

Probably I can help... But I have no knowledge about the W2K-updates

brutus1234,

I'm getting finished with the basic version of Update Rollup 2 for Win2k... would you perhaps be interested in making the Italian version too? The only thing you would have to do its to supply me (upload somewhere) an archive with Italian language updates (official updates only). It's just too time consuming for me to download them one by one. If you do it for me, then it's very easy to make an Italian version of the Rollup.

Please answer if you're interested. I'll give you a list of updates that are needed (around 90 files).

Of course I can provide a comprehensive hotfix package and host it on an external site (it will require some time, though).
Just let me read that list! :thumbup

(I just had a look at them... my actual hotfix list counts more than 200 files, more than twice your 90 ones... maybe I'm making some mistake... :blink:

)

Now, what do you exactly mean with a "update rollup"? If I remember well it is a single exe/msi file, ready to be installed/slipstreamed in just a single step, isn't it?

I don't think there are any mistakes on your side

The point about Update Rollup 2 is that it is going to include only official and public updates. It means that HBRs (hotfixes by request, yellow background at bristols' page) are not going to be included. Update Rollup 2 is going to cover mostly updates from Windows Updates list (almost all of them) and a few other updates.

You use HBRs and that's why you have more than 200 updates on your list as there are more than 120 HBRs available. You can find more detailed info about UR2 here. And yes, update rollup is like a BIG hotfix. Its structure is exactly the same as a single update, just more files and registry entries are installed, and of course it can be integrated using HFSLIP or nLite. IE / OE Mini Rollup is such a thing - 7 (9 in ver. 1.1) updates are merged into one, and the official Update Rollup 1 is also a perfect example.

Here is the list of updates which I want to include in UR2. Of course it's for the English version.

Spoiler

* you don't have to upload these three

It would be good if you could zip them and upload somewhere, ex. MediaFire

Also if anyone elso is interested in having other language version too, just provide me with such a pack of updates and I'll be able to make it very easily.

The entry SCRIPTEN.CAB (IE6sp1 component, the ita cab is named SCRIPTIT.CAB) is stated as `Script 5.6'. The issue is I am slipstreaming just Script 5.7 components/updates and there are several warnings about mixing different versions.
So, if I just want Script 5.7, can I skip SCRIPTEN(SCRIPTIT).CAB?

I know it's an old post

but yes, you can skip scriptXX.cab from IE6 if you slipstream Script 5.7. You can also skip OE6 .cabs if you don't want it (MAILNEWS.CAB, OEEXCEP.CAB, WAB.CAB). All these three components (IE6, OE6, Script 5.6) are slipstreamed separately.

stumbled on a site to search for where a patch has been superseded

www.ca.com -- obviously just plugin the kb you are trying to track down

www.google.com/search?q=kb955069+site%3Awww.ca.com

typical page http://www.ca.com/ud...af-7cf3c19fa8e4

I really appreciate the work msfn is doing here

MS09-044 adds a *** note re KB958471 and KB958470

958470 (for RDP 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2) is the 1.5 meg patch that Inki reduced to a reg file setting 3 ActiveX killbits in the registry.

The note says that "Users of RDP Version 5.0 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 must install both KB958471 and KB958470." KB958471 is not on the list.

How does a user tell which version of RDP he has ... if he has 5.0, should 958471 be on the list? or maybe just add a few words to the note for 958470? kb985470 applies to RDP 5.0, 5.1, 5.2

Confuses me too. If tomasz86 has the time, maybe create a unofficial fix with both files including the reg file as an updated version of rdp.

KB958471 updates only the files related to MSTSC. It doesn't add anything to the registry.

I'm actually thinking about adding the whole new RDP (KB958471 & KB958470) to UR2, not just the registry fixes. What do you think about it?

To check version of RDP you may try checking the file "mstsc.exe".

If you do decide this, can you still make a combined installer, because these files work on Win98SE too and is newer
than the files from MSRDPCLI.EXE? Then maybe someone can re-create the installer to work on 98SE. Thank you very much.

P.S

Do you think its possible to repackage files like
WINDOWS2000-KB816868-X86-ENU.EXE
WINDOWS2000-KB896414-X86-ENU.EXE
WINDOWS2000-KB942831-X86-ENU.EXE
so that they are use in the HF folder instead of the HFSVCPACK_SW1?
