Currently I try to integrate any post sp4 win2k hotfxes by the svcpack.inf methid.

whilst this works relatively well,

is there any thought on alternative ways to install hotfixes (apart from NLite of course) say after first admin log on.

I am thinking.... can it be done say from RunOnceEx.cmd or such like?

Curious for anyones thoughts



DARN! this post should really be in the unattended post. Sorry. CAn an admin bod move it?

Hi, my method:

WinXP with SP2 and WMP10 , manually reduced & automatised

After, I launch a batch (see code below). You can use a batch (RunOnceEx.cmd) which write values into registry (wich launch 'Updates.cmd') and after a the reboot the batch install hotfixes ...

Updates.cmd (by Sonic) pick up & mixed up on this forum

@echo off
color 0f
title Windows Update
cd /d "%~dp0"
echo  - Windows Installer 3.1 ...
start /wait "" WI_3.1.exe /quiet /norestart
echo  - Windows Update v6 ...
start /wait "" WUv6.exe /wuforce /quiet /norestart
echo  - Windows Genuine Advantage ...
start /wait "" WGA.exe
echo  - Fixe Faille avec GDI ...
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f >NUL
echo  - Fixe Faille avec JView Profiler ...
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{03D9F3F2-B0E3-11D2-B081-006008039BF0}" /v "Compatibility Flags" /t REG_DWORD /d 1024 /f >NUL
echo  - Hotfixes majeures ...
for %%a in (*hf.exe) do (
Start /wait "" %%a /quiet /norestart )
echo  - Hotfixes mineures ...
for %%a in (*mf.exe) do (
Start /wait "" %%a /quiet /norestart )
exit

Edit the code to run perhaps all KB*.exe.
Make sure all hotfixes are in the same folder of the batch ...

Goodbye.

Thanks for that Sonic.

Does anybody else use sonics method?

but in English so that I have the correct syntax etc for using as an template example?

All after "echo" it's description of the action below .... change it to your language ... you can delete all "echo" lines .. and the batch doesn't display anything ...
