Yes, I confirm that all the three hotfixes were installed successfully from SVC-HF1.

The only exception known at this time is the 841356 which include different versions of one dll depending on the version of IE installed. I have described a workaround here to solve this problem.

Thanks, koszopal. Hopefully we will get a Hotfix List server up again, soon ...

[homiebrah]

Gonna be some updatin' goin' on this week. MS is planning on release some more "pearls of patching" wisdom on the heathens.

[GreenMachine]

Indeed: I am just straightening out current lists, before updating them in a few days. Patches are due out Tuesday.

Cool

But I think you miss one...

NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe (aprox 1.5Meg)

[homiebrah]

Doing my updates step by step, i haven't included this HF for recommended updates. Starting to update 2K First, and then recommended WMP, IE6, and if i find some more time, .NET.

[BaTLeZone]

OPS sorry getting ahead of ya.


I tried a run with IE6.0sp1-KB867282-Windows-2000-XP-x86 in SVC-HF1 but WU still asked for it and I did not get any errors on the install. I am going to try it in SVC-POS and get back to u.

[GreenMachine]

Actually, there is a conflict between tho IE updates. I think Bilou_Gateux mentioned it earlier. The work around is to install in a specific order via SVCPACK.INF, and not slipstream the files into the installation. Fixed in the new version ...

[BaTLeZone]

yup did not work there either. I'll add it to the other 2 that I run from runonce for now.........



......wonders off aimlessly to do some more reading......

Cool! If you find it, please tell me!

[BaTLeZone]

gee sorry GM I did not see your post at the top untill now (I did a refresh) now I feel like I got some egg on my face.

[GreenMachine]

Actually, I think it inadvertantly slipped momentarily ... (goodness, those big words hurt my mouth ... )

[Bilou_Gateux]

I have checked WU and we can grab from here special express updates that do not contains outdated binary files but a special file with .psm extension. Look likes infos about Binary files are downloaded from Web and then binary files patched.

The name of this update is Windows2000-KB<number>-x86-<language>-express.exe
Most of the HF type 1 are available as Express version
Windows Update.log file

Using these express HF can help to reduce footprint of the HF in SVCPACK.
Full HFs type 1 = 46.2 Mb in SVCPACK
Express HFs type 1 = 10.1 Mb in SVCPACK
Examining KB<number>.log files creation and last modified date properties in %windir% Installation with full HFs replaced with Express HFs in SVCPACK take less than 5mn at SVCPACK stage (T-13).
For my tests (Windows 2000 Server w/o any SP ENU), i have only added SP4 in SPACKS folder, set SLIPHF1=YES in XPCREATE.INI for checking the Type 1 HF integration and only added 30x Windows2000-KB<number>-x86-<language>.exe in SVC-HF1 folder.
Following are the result of my first build with the new XPCreate February 2005 version :
We found duplicate files in the resulting i386 folder, both compressed .??_ and not compressed versions:
DTCSETUP.EX_
LLSSRV.EX_
NTDLL.DL_
SCHANNEL.DL_
We can save some space by replacing the non compressed version by the extracted version of the compressed files and deleting the .??_ (compressed) files. In the original source CD, these files aren't compressed.
DTCSETUP.CAT file should be moved from SVCPACK subfolder to i386 and compressed to replace the original DTCSETUP.CA_
Microsoft have removed the WU checking on Q329115 HF. On a fresh install without any HF applied, WU don't claims about this HF not installed.
On Post #51, i suggested to remove KB839645 HF. You shouldn't because WU checks the registry and claims about this HF not installed although a more recent HF owerwrites the binary files with newer versions.
Already mentionned are the not needed files added in 2 subfolders by KB841356 and DOSNET not needed added lines.

[GreenMachine]

Hmmmm ...

Yes, those express files are, indeed, the patches without the binaries, which are then downloaded. These hotfixes cannot be integrated. If just run from SVCPACK.INF, you would also need ab active Internet connection.

As I understood it at the time (long ago ... ), those uncompressed files are used during the setup process, that is why they are uncompressed. It is the compressed versions that are not needed. Like I said, that was a while ago I looked.

I'll have to look into Q329115.

I agree: I will stop adding the sub-directories to DOSNET.INF. Also, I think long file names there can cause problems in DOS based installs.

Thanks again, Bilou_Gateux. I just happened to pass by here again. You really should consider adding new posts, instead of updating your last one, so it catches my attention better!

Some new updates came out for win2000:

IE6.0sp1-KB890923-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe
Windows2000-KB842773-x86-ENU.EXE
Windows2000-KB890859-x86-ENU.EXE
Windows2000-KB893066-x86-ENU.EXE
Windows2000-KB893086-x86-ENU.EXE
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe

I am assuming they go in HF1.

Would WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe replace WINDOWSINSTALLER-KB884016-V2-X86.EXE or do I need both?

[BaTLeZone]

Ok....

I put all of the updates in HF1 and win2000 went tilt so I am doing one at a time to find out which one(s) are doing it.

I put WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe in by it self seems to install ok msiexec /? reports v3.01.4000.1823 . With out this update I get msiexec /? reports v3.00.3790.2538 so it is safe to say that this update replaces the WINDOWSINSTALLER-KB884016-V2-X86.EXE update.

UPDATE

I put IE6.0sp1-KB890923-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe in HF1 and all is well.
