I see no value in patching windows for vulnerabilities if the system isn't connected to the internet and thus isn't vulnerable. The only patches worthy are functional ones like add support for bluray or exfat. I also see no point in CYA since nobody would agree that running XP is covered by any str...

PJAmerica

@PJAmerica, Why do you feel that way? I'm not trying to start any kind of argument or flame war, I am truly curious. What advantage does it give you to not use the POSReady updates? Cheers and Regards it's just not something I care for. It's not intended for my flavor of win xp and so I won't use i...

PJAmerica

Do you want to include POSReady updates? No. Just standard patches that were released. I do not think that such a list exist. Most people here (and at MSFN) likely use the POSReady updates. There is really no reason not to do so (unless we are talking about a specialized, critical system). You coul...

Can anyone tel me which patches were released and that are needed so I can find them and download manually? I have fallen behind. I don't need the update packs.

PJAmerica

So I am using Windows XP x64 Edition for the first time. I need to know how I can get a full update package with everything like what OnePiece has. Any guidance on what to download and what order to install with. Any tips would be great.

PJAmerica

Thanks. That was not at all obvious to me. Cheers and Regards Hence m saying "It's not that obvious now". No clue why he changed the site. It was very user friendly before. But either way, it's awesome to have that install pack. I will now stop polluting this thread with off topic content. Have a g...

When I tried to go to that link, all I found was a welcome page with his picture that said I was guest number 5.047.924.

Cheers and Regards

Upper left hand corner has a drop down menu. He redid his site last year. It's not that obvious now but there are links for xp related stuff among others.

Great !
What's the difference with OnePiece Update Pack ?

You can pick and choose what you want to install for one. Secondly, it's not all or nothing.

If it's offline, then a bare SP3 should be enough, maybe with a few selected KB if they are needed.

I decided to go with this: http://www.syssel.net/hoefs/index.php?lang=en

It's ideal for what I need. Great little update pack for XP.

PJAmerica

Why waste your time and NOT include the last two or so years of continued updates by excluding the POS updates? You should consider the uSP4, just slip stream it into your original source and you will have a tight OS with great security! Due to the optimizations present, it will be really quick OS!...

PJAmerica

Forgive me for asking here but can someone guide ... Mind you I would not be using the POSREADY stuff at all Then why waste your time! First off, Maybe it's not a waste of time to me, secondly, that quote of yours is not complete with what I stated in my prior post. What is wrong with what I asked?...

PJAmerica

Forgive me for asking here but can someone guide me on slipstreaming updated WMP 11/IE8/AIO NET Frameworks and in what order and which ones? This would make my xp pro disc complete. Mind you I would not be using the POSREADY stuff at all. Thank you in advance.

PJAmerica

I'm likewise interested in this, so can you suggest any alternatives that actually work? I've tried NTlite, but that's too buggy, and likewise keeps coming up with error messages, such as :-- Detected â€™Do not allow compression on all NTFS volumes' policy or disabled NTFS compression on this machi...

PJAmerica

which addons exactly? I am unsure what you mean.

PJAmerica

Hi OnePiece, I was wondering if there is a required patch for the .Net Framework stuff in this package like you made for 2 & 4 separately?

PJAmerica

Glad you got it to work, PJAmerica. While I agree with you about the desktop, bphlpt, it seems that the number of people familiar with directory structures and command lines is dropping sharply. DOS is a distant memory. In my opinion, walking someone through a series of commands is safer from the d...

PJAmerica

Since 5eraph has identified that there is an issue when a long path is involved, and perhaps with spaces involved, you might try re-running your test where everything you need has been re-located to somewhere with a short, simple path, such as "C:\tst". By the way, it is usually not recommended to ...

PJAmerica

Can't pin down exactly why it fails. The long directory tree within the update seems to cause trouble when SFXCAB is run from a location with a long path. I did, however, get the following command line to work from the desktop: sfxcab KB3035132.exe target -r:update/update.exe -ipd -iswu -basisexe:s...

PJAmerica

For some reason, no matter what I do, KB3035132 turns out corrupted when I do the process with SFXCAB.exe. I tried Onepiece's copy of KB3035132 from the Box Link. I downloaded it from the Catalog even. What is wrong with this thing? Any insights?

PJAmerica

If "target" is on your desktop then copy "SFXCAB.exe" to your desktop. Yes, you can type CMD in the Run box. Then type the following into the CMD box: cd desktop SFXCAB.exe KB3049874.exe target -r:update/update.exe -ipd -iswu The finished file, "KB3049874.exe" or whatever you want to name it, shoul...

PJAmerica

The archive containing the patched update.exe files has been updated . Now that the tool and the directions are readily available to repackage updates with these patched files, I feel that I must post this warning from the TXT files in the archive: DISTRIBUTING REPACKAGED UPDATE PACKAGE EXECUTABLES...

PJAmerica

You have to forgive me but I am entirely ignorant to this stuff.

The "target" folder is on my desktop. Do I just copy "SFXCAB.exe" to inside the target folder?

How do I navigate to "SFXCAB.exe" once I have opened a CMD prompt and how do I open a CMD prompt for this? Just type? CMD in run box?

PJAmerica

Have you extracted an update package and replaced the "update.exe" file? I'd like to help, but I don't know what you've accomplished so far. Yes, I have that down pat. I have the target folder an everything. I just want to create actual EXE files of the patches once they are done. So I can add them...

PJAmerica

I appreciate the follow up but I didn't understand a word of it.

Is there an way to compress this so as to make it like a normal EXE installer?

The POSReady hack is not included with this addon, PJAmerica. There's a separate addon for those that want it. If you're applying this addon to an XP source that is not POSReady without the hack then you'll have to download any further updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog website using Interne...

PJAmerica

Does this just add the latest POSReady stuff or does it add the POSReady hack as well? I would like to avoid the registry hack and just get the updates integrated up to this point.

Thank you for the quick response and answer bphlpt. Have a great day.

PJAmerica

If I install ".net 3.5 SP1 full (includes 2.0 and 3.0 with all public GDR updates)" does that mean I do not need to install 2.0 or 3.0? Or do I have to install all 3 if I want all 3? I am confused.

PJAmerica

@PJAmerica Yes, you can do this provided you wait for spupdsvc.exe to complete after reboot. spupdsvc.exe will ngen .NET Framework 1.1 and 3.5 components and this will take it about 15 minutes to finish, then it will disappear from the Task manager. Watch out in Task Manager for it. When it's done ...

Really? So I can just do an live instal and then go to software components and enable NET Framework 4.0 without any issues then? If so then that's what I am looking for.

PJAmerica

What steps 4 & 5 are you referring to? And how do you desire to use SP4 that you are unable to? And I'm not denying that you are having problems with the POSReady updates, but you are the only person I have heard that is having that much of a problem with them. I'm missing something, but good luck ...

PJAmerica

Apparently if I want to use SP4 as I desire I have to do steps 4 & 5. That is a deal breaker right there for me. Let me know how everyone gets along though. I will wait I think.

PJAmerica

That should still not be a problem. FWIW, I have not heard about anyone having any problems that were attributable to the POSReady updates. But you can always add those later if you decide to. Cheers and Regards I have done just that and I get black screens etc and the PC lags. when I do not apply ...

Hi harkaz. I can see you're pretty busy with your main project, but please remember those (maybe I'm the only one) who are interested in your "ported to XP" individual security updates.

Right on harkaz. I look forward to testing the next RC release.

Yeah, but I didn't merge anything or burn anything to cd. I installed it straight from the EXE file. So why am I prompted for this and the fact that I can't install it is an issue as well.

Not so much a bug maybe but I tried to install .Net Framework 4 from Control Panel and it asked and demanded for a cd 2 of sp4 in order to instal it. I was quite disappointed by that.

Hoefs' update pack is straight forward. It removes nothing. Try it out in a VM and see how you like it. It's really up to you to decide what is best for your needs.

As you understand, my schedule is very tight this month and then next one, so I will not be able to complete SP4 development until August. However, the new version (Beta 4, not RC) is coming in a few days to fix all reported issues. In addition, because a single CAT file is now used for every updat...

You can choose not to install windows media player 11 if you like for the Hoefs' Update Pack. You can actually choose what to install for each and everything.
