@xable

I just discovered your UDP and found out that it is best solution for me.
Thank you for this excellent package and prompt updates!

I consider IE8 and WMP11 most important improvements of XP3 and
always  include them in final ISO.
For that purpose I use OnePiece AddOnns.

Would you be so kind to integrate IE8 and WMP11 in your UDP to avoid
unnecessary updates of old IE and WMP?

That will make your UDP the best solution available on internet.

Thank you for your time and attention!

950760 is released at 2009/10
it appears at pure xp updated,but it can not see when other patches installed.

so i think it's a bug for ms,for it never seen at before.

it will be not included,i think.

MS put 950760 on MU by mistake, it's superseded by 978262

@xable

Thanks for your pack!

Sorry to be a pain, but could you kindly answer a question for me about the TZ update please...

In your SP2 pack you stated "[...]in this special case the update doesn`t actually update any source files negating the advantages of slipstreaming plus it eradicates the possibility of human error while captuing the extensive amount of registry entries.[...]"

I was then just thinking that now with SP3 where tzchange.exe is in the source now and not a new file, then would it be possible for you to consider slipping this update also?

There's no cmd-prompt problem anymore either, as tzchange.exe isn't run by the update anymore either...

Last time i ask about this, i promise, and thanks again for your nice pack!

Hi xable,
for European user, since some days WinUpdate offer the high priority update containing the "ballot screen" for the selection of other browsers than IE. From what I saw, this would just add a file in system32, executed via runonce on the next reboot. Therefore, I ask how to proceed, if add the file in the update pack or leave the update (like IE8).
Thanks

Hello xable (and other members).
I have some questions:
1. I integrate sp3 with sp2 cd, now, i really need your sp3 update pack?

2. In your sp3 update pack contents, you have a part with "Optional software updates", what are those? and how can use them?

3. Can I remove some useless files in update pack? and which files are useless? for example, is XHelper.exe useless? and i can remove it? (NOTE: my windows users haven't High speed internet, and they can't update windows everyday .... )

And finally question:
4. If I extract your 7z file (and change or remove some files), how can compress it again? Which silent codes I need to use?

-- Regards

Hello signore, I'm glad you like my pack!

1. My pack adds the updates to your cd which you would have to install after windows from windows update.

2. They are the optional updates windows update offer, they are not included in my pack.

3. There are no useless files, they are all needed, you will actually have a smaller source after integrating my pack because it overwrites the originals on the cd. - There is no need to update windows everyday, I'm not sure why you think there is!? The download size of my pack vs all the update on windows updates is a lot smaller aswell, about a quater.

4. It's a 7-Zip archive, you just need 7-Zip. I wouldn't recomend editing it though as it doesn't seem like you know what your doing. Having said that feel free but I take no responsibility.
