Hotfix Hunt for Windows XP SP2

Post by **RyanVM** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 9:44 am

I've also seen a few instances in previous TheHotfix packages where they had older versions of the hotfixes in their packages too. I suppose it could go the other way too. If you REALLY want to be thorough, extract them all and compare file versions

RanCorX2 · Post by **RanCorX2** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:44 am

so no new hotfixes added yet?

Yep i`ve seen that too, TBO you might seen it on the share also because it`s impossible to constantly check their current.

However i do do this with all newly uploaded fixes.

RanCorX2 · Post by **RanCorX2** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 1:33 pm

Personnally I would only install ENU hotfixes on a english xp, as the files are meant for their own language of the os.

Xable are you on a break atm? I wanna mess with some more fixes

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 2:25 pm

i only have this W2K3 fix! and if you dont undertsand what there stands here my translation:

the Windows Xp files cannot be updated because the language of the installes system is not the same as the language from the update.

Post only English hotfixes please.

RanCorX2 · Post by **RanCorX2** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 8:42 am

the hotfix KB832978.exe on xables share is a sp1 fix.

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 10:21 am

KB909195 is no WinXp fix! the file dosnt exist on CD and in no CAB file. and the fileversion in the KB article is the following:
5.2.3790.2631

for XP it should be
5.1.2600.2631

Mitsuko Aninikkou · Post by **Mitsuko Aninikkou** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 10:38 am

Are you sure it isn't just a typo in the KB article? Since according to the article it definitely applies to Windows XP Pro.

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 11:09 am

i know but i get the fix today fro MS germany and they send me only the server 2k3 fix and that looks like its only a server 2k3 fix ^^

1. on KB page only W2K3 fileversions
2. ms send me only W2K3 fix
3. file is nowhere on the xp-sp2 cd! in no cab and not in i386

Hi Xable,

I think it would be good to add version number for hotfixes in your archive:

KB816045.exe v3
KB883517.exe v2
KB884862.exe v2
KB885293.exe v2
KB885443.exe v3

KB887823.exe v2
KB890048.exe v2
KB890644.exe v2
KB890837.exe v3
KB890927.exe v3
KB892050.exe v3
KB892559.exe v2
KB893226.exe v2
KB893605.exe v2
KB895406.exe v4
KB896256.exe v3
KB896344.exe v2
KB898050.exe v3
KB898108.exe v4

Does anybody now how to learn that there is a new version of some old hotfix? It seems Microsoft just silently releases them... or not?

Petr

Nazgul · Post by **Nazgul** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:40 am

When MS releases a new version of a hotfix, they also update the version of the knowledgebase article.
Therefore it show up in the RSS feeds. So if you monitor those, you should be good.

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 5:42 am

I agree Petr, have been leaving them on with new fixes but wasn`t aware of how to find out the version for the rest.

Nazgul, So if i understand right the second digit of the Revision on the KB is the version of the hotfix.

But, how do you determine what version the hotfix is? Because most of the KB articles list a lower version number than the actual files in the hotfix!

Nazgul · Post by **Nazgul** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 6:19 am

The knowledge base article version isn't a one-on-one mapping to the hotfix version.

In general Microsoft increased the major number on a hotfix change and the minor number on a textual change. But unfortunately i've seen a lot of deviations from this scheme.

I usually save a copy of the knowledge base article when I receive a hotfix. When the knowledge base article is updated I compare those 2 versions. The outcome of that comparison usually tells you if it's just a textual change or if it could be worthwile to contact Microsoft. (For instance, no changes in the article, but a version change)

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 7:05 am

Intresting nazgul thanks. I`ll be saving a copy of the article too from now on.

Just display properties - version. I believe it is correct - it was correct for all hothixes I checked so far. For version displaying of more files it is possible to use getver utility from http://free.prohosting.com/~ladi/e_cmd32.html or filever utility from this MS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913111
Newer version (5.2.3754.0) of filenifo.exe is contained in http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... /mpedp.exe

Damn that simple ay Petr.. why didn`t i think of that before i`m always hovering over files for their version.

I`ll update the version numbers now. BTW filever.exe is very handy, thanx.

RE the share,
forum.xable.net is now public but the hotfix section is hidden untill you join and i grant you access, you can still access the download/upload however.

These files are in the archive just 7z packed files, so I've uploaded original hotfixes:

Excellant i was going to re-request those next time. Thanx.

Just 1 fix on the request list now (the uptodate one on the share) all fixes listed on the startpost here have long been uploaded..

yingkit2005 · Post by **yingkit2005** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 7:06 pm

New hotfix:

KB896679-The shadow session is disconnected between two Web client computers that are running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP

"Tswebsetup.exe" is not exist in Windows XP CD, i think it is the same case of "KB909195"

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 9:07 am

KB912475 is one new downloadable hotfix but if its necessary to integrate i dont know! and i really dont know how to integrate it ^^ if anybody find out how to integrate it plz say it me

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:12 am

Sereby - it would be advantageous to you if you would actually try installing the hotfix with a system monitor to see what it does before asking questions. If you had done so, you'd see that it changes 3 regisry entries related to the Australian time zones.

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 11:34 am

can you say me which registry changes it do ^^?

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 11:43 am

No, do your own work. There's all kinds of registry change trackers out there, many of which have been linked to from this forum. Heck, if I remember correctly, there's a thread for it in General Discussion.

Being able to track registry changes is a skill you should have if you're making your own pack.

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 12:20 pm

unpack it and look in the update folder for xp .inf file.
