I collected all the hotfixes listed onto bristols' page and nevertheless several ones are still floating around on my hard disks; I've tried to slipstream most of them.

Thanks brutus1234. Very helpful. I'll go through your list one by one.

324446 - Installing this manually caused me problems, so I deliberately left it out. My notes say: "2k hangs after login, Explorer fails to start. Avoid". I'll try slipstreaming it. If anyone else has this installed, please let us know here.

837789 - Good find. Will add.

838018 - For Server, and anyone who chooses to install Front Page Extensions from the Win2000 installation CD. Not installed by FDV's fileset. Will add.

838141 - 839228 already includes Rastapi.dll 5.0.2195.6824.

896414 - Scesrv.dll is indeed amongst the source files. Will add.

897711 - Ditto.

932590 - This hotfix was not released for 2000. However, MDGx produced an unoffical 932590 installer for 2000 - did you use that?

922667 - I guess this was left out initially because FDV's fileset does not install COM (it's often said that hardly anything requires it). But will add.

888111 - Will add this, although I am not sure myself whether or not portcls.sys 5.0.2195.6906 and sysaudio.sys 5.0.2195.6906 are fully backwards-compatible with non-High Definition audio devices. I'll add a note. Can anyone add anything here?

811392 - This tool doesn't exist in the Windows source. On balance, I think it shouldn't be listed.

Thanks guys. I've updated the Windows 2000 Post-SP4 Updates for HFSLIP page.

Thanks for the feedback regarding 324446. As yet I haven't added it, but hopefully will do so soon (I need some time to try it myself). Meanwhile, if anyone else has used it, please say so!

Thanks PROBLEMCHYLD. I stand corrected. In general I'd prefer not to link to updates hosted on sites like Hotfix Share, but I made an exception here. Use at your own risk.

Oh, yes, you're right...
So, why in my previously slipstreamed win2k this file was older? mmhh, I'll investigate this...

To be honest, I really can't remember neither how nor where I got all these files. Of course MDGx was not my source, since I'm after italian hotfixes. I didn't even know that was unofficial.
Having said this, I call your attention over KB838751, an official exe which provides Msvcrt.dll ver 6.1.9847.0

If this is a package with strong hardware dependence, then you should apply it only after installing the OS, isn't it?

Ok, this is a funny joke by MS.
KB839228 should provide:

• 5.0.2195.1569 Fips.sys
  
• 5.0.2195.6883 Ipsec.sys
  
• 5.0.2195.6882 Ipsecmon.exe
  
• 5.0.2195.6824 Netdiag.exe
  
• 5.0.2195.6882 Oakley.dll
  
• 5.0.2195.6882 Polagent.dll
  
• 5.0.2195.6882 Polstore.dll
  
• 5.0.2195.6824 Rasman.dll
  
• 5.0.2195.6872 Rasmans.dll
  
• 5.0.2195.6824 Rastapi.dll

but OOOPS! someone forgot to include FIPS.SYS, RASMAN.DLL and, of course, RASTAPI.DLL. Funny, isn't it?
I just checked both ITA package and ENU package, so I assume the others are missing the same files.

Edit: about KB932590, if it appears on your windows2000 updates page, then I think it should have a different background, meaning it's unofficial.

It's not uncommon for MS to make mistake in their KB articles, and for them to diverge from the contents of their corresponding updates. Install 872955 as well as 839228 - it will provide you with those missing files.

It seems that 932590 was released by MS for Windows 2000, but later retracted - I've seen (a few) references to Windows2000-KB932590-x86-ENU.EXE in older posts here, and this update was uploaded to the Hotfix Share website by a well-known and trusted member of that site. So it seems I was wrong, but as with any file the source of which you're not 100% sure, use it at your own risk.

Regarding 888111: I've never had the need to use it, and I am not sure myself about any problems it might present if installed on unsupported hardware. In general, I agree with you. I've included it on the page, but I advise caution for the above reason. If anyone knows that the update can be safely applied to unsupported hardware, please say.

So, chances are that my Windows2000-KB932590-x86-ITA.EXE is genuine from MS!!!
Mmhh, is there a way to check for this? Is digital signature enough?
If really it is from microsoft, it is quite rare. I think I can post it on a hosting site in order to make it available to as much users as possible.

This is true, it was released by microsoft as part of SP5, and now I remember how I got it. I will post the full procedure here.

Well, this hotfix needs more care, it won't slipstream!
I just checked it and it indeed provides Ntprint.dll ver 5.0.2195.6745, but still I can't find it into the new slipstreamed win2k install. Why?
Has it to be copied into some other folder than HF\ ?

It will override newer files will older one this way.
Extract the Ntprint.dll 5.0.2195.6745 from the hotfix and replace it manually.

I know this because i tried it with these 2 hotfixes as well

WINDOWS2000-KB942831-X86-ENU.EXE has newer than any other
infocomm.dll 5.0.2195.7147

WINDOWS2000-KB816868-X86-ENU.EXE has newer than any other
wininet.dll 5.0.3900.6944

Thanks PROBLEMCHYLD. So brutus1234, try extracting Ntprint.dll, putting it into the REPLACE folder, and renaming it Ntprint.dl_ (yep, replace the last L with an underscore, so that it looks like a compressed system file).

WINDOWS2000-KB816868-X86-ENU.EXE has newer than any other
wininet.dll 5.0.3900.6944

I informed WildBill about infocomm.dll from his 2290570. It seems that his patch was indeed based on an older file. I used Mitec Explorer to look at the PE Header timestamps:

942831 - PE (header) Timestamp: 10/01/2008
2290570 (WildBill's) - PE (header) Timestamp: 20/06/2003

About wininet.dll, you're talking about the version in 816868 being later than the version in the last IE5 Cumulative Update - 982381 - only (the infocomm.dll version number in 982381 for IE6 has a later version than 816868). But when using Mitec Explorer, I found:


816868
wininet.dll 5.0.3900.6944

982381 (LAST IE5x CU)
wininet.dll 5.0.3888.1400
Date (from PE Header): 14/04/2010

So we have a discrepancy - 816868 was released in 2004, but its infocomm.dll has a later version number than the much newer infocomm.dll from 982381, released in 2010. Personally I take it that 982381 has the latest version, even though it may be missing some fix that is present in 816868 (who knows) .

Is it not a problem if it try to decompress?

The file can be compressed with makecab easily.

Thanks Maxfutur, this is what I did, the file was compressed to NTPRINT.DL_ via makecab then copied to the REPLACE\I386 folder and I see it's perfectly installed.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I would like to thanks Bristols for his work on keeping WIndows 2000 alive. I recently had a really bad urge on reinstalling the w2k on my other hard drive that I recently salvaged from the laptop.

It took me a while to find the latest pre-sp5 package that was left behind back in 2006.

Keep up with good work, Bristols.

AAARGH, I NEED HELP!!!
Oh no!, now adding these 11 hotfixes results in a crash into appwiz.cpl!
I attached a screenshot, when I click on "Setup Windows components" (it is circled in red) the app suddenly stops with an error of insufficient rights. This happens even if I log in as administrator.
It never happened using all the hotfixes listed onto bristols page, just now, using these latest ones listed above.

Does this also happen to you?
Can you suggest me how to detect the hotfix/hotfixes generating this?

Just as an off-the-cuff and possibly useless suggestion (inspired by tomasz86's report about a problem with slipstreaming 896414) - try downgrading Scesrv.dll to the version from SP4. See if that solves it. However I fear it won't be so easy to discover the cause. :\
