a06 · Post by **a06** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:28 pm

i posted earlier which hotfixes were reported as incorrectly installed by qfecheck; i also posted which hacked files i'm using...

[edit]
Here, I'll repost which ones are broke for me:

KB909520: Software update for Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider
KB887797: Outlook Express for Windows update
KB893066: Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP could allow remote code execution and denial of service
KB900725: Vulnerabilities in the Windows shell could allow for remote code execution
KB905915: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer - December 2005

Hacked Files used:
Tcpip.sys (100 Connections): RVMAddonsTCPIP_1.0.cab
UXTheme.dll: RVMAddonsUXTheme_1.0.cab

Hey,

So I just did a real-world test of your latest pack, and qfecheck is beter, but not perfect:

KB887797: This hotfix should be reinstalled.
KB900725: This hotfix should be reinstalled.
KB905915: This hotfix should be reinstalled.

KB887797: Outlook Express for Windows update
KB900725: Vulnerabilities in the Windows shell could allow for remote code execution
KB905915: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer - December 2005

The other 2 now work fine. But what's wrong with these 3?

[edit]
I should note that Windows Updates shows ZERO updates to be installed - this is just qfecheck problems...

Finally got around to testing with no problems at all. I combined with dgelwin's dotnet framework beta for a big ZERO when I visited microsoft update. Thanks Booogy for your great efforts once again. Hope to test win2003 pack within the next couple of days. Any clues or hints on methods or programs (scripts) you are using to make these "update" packs. I know there is a thread on how to create an addon but i'm really intrested on how you and ryan create the update packs.

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 12:08 pm

@john2003, There`s no quick answer to that i`m afraid. Think of it as each hotfix being an addon and then their all combined together in one pack, obviously with a lot of other stuff to take into consideration. That`s the best way i can describe it.

As far as scripts go everything is done manualy although i do use batches to extract and install hotfixes.

a06 · Post by **a06** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 7:38 pm

i'll be testing this, hopefully tonight.

quick request- would you be able to make the first post a little more informative, (as to what each hotfix is), and as to what else is in tha pack?

similar to: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1625

This is not to take away anything from this pack, i love it and use it!

Thanks in advance

[edit] - the test worked perfectly! no updates on WU!
thanks a ton!!

Hi boooggy !

I am still having a problem with the hotfix KB887797: This hotfix should be reinstalled (qfecheck.exe), using your latest (43.9MB) pack.

I've built 2 bootable disks using the same XP Pro SP2 CD-ROM (both with the same nLite 1.0rc6) :
- one using Ryan's 2.0.3 update pack,
- one using your 43.9 MB WU0 pack,

There is only one problem with KB887797 found on a fresh install using WU0 pack, with 2 files :

wab32.dll (Ryan's version's 6.0.2900.2530, WU0 version's 6.0.2900.2527)
wabimp.dll (Ryan's version's 6.0.2900.2530, WU0 version's 6.0.2900.2527)

Would you please check if WU0 pack does contain correct versions of these two dlls ?

Other than that - a perfect pack I've been enjoying for some time now !

Cheers

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 3:13 am

checked and this is what i got:

armix7 · Post by **armix7** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 7:56 pm

Hmm...

1. Extract WAB32.DL_ from the latest WUZero_UpdatePack.cab (43.9 MB downloaded on 27 Feb 2006) - I used WinRAR 3.51

2. Expand this extracted WAB32.DL_ into WAB32.DLL using Windows command "expand wab32.dl_ wab32.dll"

3. View this wab32.dll properties - it is version 6.0.2900.2527, but should be 6.0.2900.2530

4. The same applies to WABIMP.DL_

I think this is the reason why QFECHECK.EXE is complaining about KB887797...

Cheers

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 2:27 am

well i redownloaded the patch from m$ and expanded but the build number for that 2 files is 2527.....if u can provide me the hotfix KB887797 which has the build 2530 i will change it....

i figure it out....i used the files from the sp2gdr folder which are build 2527 and not the files from sp2qfe folder which are build 2530....doh....
and if i manually install the hotfix the new files are also build 2527

GDR will always be installed unless you use the /B:SP2QFE switch.

Hi !

In Ryan's update pack 2.05 I noticed several of your kb's to be in the

Among them are:
KB904706
KB902400
KB900725
KB891781 (haven't cross referenced all of them)

Are these, (as it says) obsolete or what ?

Ryan uses newer fixes that are not public. i am using only the fixes that appear on Windows Update.

linkking · Post by **linkking** » Thu May 11, 2006 11:20 pm

Ok, so you mean if I have applied Ryan's pack,(but not Zero Update Pack 1.5), WU wouldn't complain/notify me,
if I visited it about those KB's in the obsolete section ?

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Fri May 12, 2006 1:36 am

the one that Ryan used sometimes overseed the ones on WU.

cdillon · Post by **cdillon** » Tue May 16, 2006 4:28 pm

Thanks, boooggy, for this update pack. RyanVM's pack is great, but for certain uses I also need something that will only install all updates available in Windows Update -- no less, and no more -- so this is exactly what I was looking for! Also thank you for keeping it up to date.

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Sat May 20, 2006 11:23 pm

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon May 22, 2006 6:05 pm

hey boooggy, thanx for ur hard and good work.
i have ur latest pack (hashes match

), and it contains KB905915.CAT, which is superseeded by KB912812.
u dont have entry for it, in svcpack catalogs, but still stands there.
hope u correct next month.
and also a question, kb911565 is superseeded by KB918886. Will u include it in next pack?
Thanx

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Tue May 23, 2006 12:23 am

thx for finding that . i will fix it.
911565 will still be in the pack cause this pack contains only the updates on Windows Update. and as long as i know 918886 doesnt show on wu. anyhow if u want to have this update for wmp u can use my wmp pack.

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 8:55 am

Zacam · Post by **Zacam** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 11:23 am

FYI, in both this update pack & the one preceeding it, you used the GDR versions of TCPIP.SYS instead of the QFE versions. Could you possibly fix that please? Making an integrator addon to cover patching is kind of difficult to cover all the update packs when they're not all using the same version.

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 1:50 pm

give me a good reason to use the qfe.....
when u manually integrate the hotfix files that get installed are the gdr ones and not the qfe....

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 4:18 pm

Hey boooggy, please read this post, and have a look at that topic.

5eraph wrote:Here is what I read: (thanks for the link, Ryan )

...
The QFE package contains the security update and the hotfixes.
This seems to suggest that QFE packages are more up-to-date, but possibly less stable.
Hotfixes are produced quickly to provide immediate assistance to specific Microsoft customers. Therefore, hotfixes may not be tested as thoroughly...
As buggy as Microsoft products can be, I still prefer a quick fix instead of no fix at all.

I agree with yours opinion!

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 5:37 pm

The KB article presents a good reason to use QFE files IMO. As it points out, the QFE files are copied to $hf_mig$ when the GDR version is installed. That's for a very specific reason. Say you need a specific hotfix down the road from MS which includes a version of the file which is postdated by the security update. With what you're doing, boooggy, the user will have to choose between installing the fix to solve their problem and then having to reinstall the security update since you don't have an $hf_mig$ directory.

To make it more clear, consider this scenario (this is basically a paraphrase of the KB article, BTW).
Say blah.dll is updated by a security update to build 2800. On a normal system, the GDR build of the DLL will be copied and the QFE build will be copied to $hf_mig$. Then say you need to request a specific fix from Microsoft which includes only the QFE build of blah.dll build 2750. In such a scenario, the hotfix installer will copy the QFE build 2800 version of blah.dll from $hf_mig$ instead of installing build 2750 so as to keep the security update intact.

So what do you suppose will happen if there is no $hf_mig$ copy of the QFE version? To be honest, I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to think that one of two things will happen. Either the hotfix will refuse to install because the currently-installed version of blah.dll has a higher version number (which leaves the user unable to install the fix for the problem they're experiencing) or the hotfix will replace the GDR build 2800 version of blah.dll with the QFE build 2750 version of the DLL, meaning that the security update would then have to be reinstalled afterwards.

If the QFE version is installed from the beginning, such situations are avoided.

It's up to you to decide what you want to include in your pack, boooggy, but I hope I've at least given a compelling argument for you to consider.

I am gradually learning a lot about creating (more appropriately, modifying) addon packs due to the packs shared here.

Something I noticed, and am currious about, it appears you are doing a shot of your registery, installing updates and comparing to create the [KBXXXXXX.ADD.REG]'s

Can I just use the [KBXXXXXX.ADD.REG] info from the individual KBXXXXXX.INF files instead? Since this will be included in original Windows XP install, do we really need the FILES in

Code: Select all

HKLM, SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KBXXXXXX

Do we really need the FILELIST info in

Code: Select all

HKLM, SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\Filelist\#

for that matter

I took liberty of going through your UpPck.inf file, creating more [STRINGS] entries and doing a search and replace, and utilizing the ones you already have more thoroughly...the results are about 17KB savings (while small, its some)... (If I could figure out how to attach a file, I would have attached my modified .inf.)

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 1:40 pm

the entries in filelist are not really needed...but i want this pack to look more like u install the fixes manually...
