[Incroyable HULK]

Let me say it again:

My method to get the list of hotfixes is under simulation with a flat installation for the 3 OS. I go to Windows Update and get the list of update from there. If Microsoft themself are not giving an accurate update list, I wonder who can...
Anyway, the goal is always the same: get all the critical updates integrated into our unattended project. I think my method is the fastest and easy for me to maintain.

Today, for Windows XP SP2, there is only KB834707 listed as a critical update. I added the KB885626 patche because it will appear as a critical update for people having a Prescott D-0 Core CPU.

That's it!

If you feel like there should be a non-critical list of post-SP2 updates, I can add them to the bottom of my list and give the credit to the writer... please use a similar format to my post.

lol, have you consider doing it yourself?

Not a chance. First off, no time. Second, I don't care about other OSes other than XP SP2. Sorry, I just don't.

Sorry if you mistook me as the author of Autopatcher, but I did not write it.

Sorry, my bad, I just pasted the wrong name on my reply, I meant Incroyable HULK, of course.

Ok guys, I modified my post and added the 3 non-critical updates you where talking about...

[netquik]

Okay Incroyable HULK

P.S.
my nick is netquik not netquick.
just like NesquiK Neslè

[RyanVM]

The switches for those hotfixes are the same as all the rest of the post-SP2 hotfixes.

[Sgt_Strider]

So let me get things straight. According to the first page, there are only two critical upgrades for a XP SP2 system? While all other released patches are non-critical?

[Incroyable HULK]

@netquik
sorry, I will add Nestle in front of your nick

@RyanVM
Switches done!

@Sgt_Strider
Yep, you got it right!

I'm seeing the KB836528 MyDoom removal tool in WindowsUpdate on fresh installs in VirtualPC now. Anybody else seeing this?

Needless to say, I'm already working on a GDItool-style fix for my next release

EDIT: I'm having no luck tricking Windows into thinking the MyDoom checker already ran with registry entries. This is a tough nut to crack.

Ok on the GDITool,
I wanted a silent Install switch for it. It was a little tough but heres what I came up with.
that thing is so weird, doesn't copy the dll or .inf no where, basically it creates some reg entries and a few minor files

E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb
E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.chk
E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log
E:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system.LOG
E:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Logs\wbemess.log
and a few others it modifies or creates

I ran that on a clean Install of Pro with Dotnet I had to Install also. It requires Dotnet, Office or a few other things in order for it even to install. I'm thinking if those files needed update then possibly it would copy the oudetect.dll, msiutil2.exe, gditool.inf, gdidet.cif files and replace the old ones.

Modifies this reg key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceCurrent]
@=dword:0000000a

Adds This

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_MSISERVER\0000\Control]
"ActiveService"="MSIServer"

I did determine that running it by clicking on it that it extracts it to the same exact %TEMP% dir I used in the commandline below
So heres what I'm thinking
The commandline I pasted is correct to install it silent.
Anyone got any thoughts on it?
