Almost a week - no comments from thos in charge?

sorry. i've take a note about those a few days ago, but it's near xmas and everybody wanna his gift ready or something else, so, basically, i'm taking a day as 30h. just to give you an idea, i've just arrived at home and now it's 23h in here. it's being like this since the last 2 weeks. i believe that for tomorrow it will be more easy to look after it, since i just have (so far) a couple of fast things to do, so, tomorrow, i will take a look after it

thanks

just to give a heads-up, i've already downloaded and checked for detections. so far, i did only registry detections, but i will look further on this. later, i will make some install tests. in a preliminary test, it worked, but i need test it in other environments too

done. i've did the modules and also the script to download it for the x86 version of those updates (that means xp/2k3 only. vista/2008 and the x64 has his own version for those updates). also i us to build my script also an "all in one", those updates and modules can be found at the ptb script. i've already tested the installation in a clean windows xp sp3 pro machine. since my old test machine died a few months ago, i've builded another one, that is pretty much like the one that i already had. since i've finished the build process today, i've spared an windows xp license that i had stored since a couple of years and did the install test on that machine. everything gone ok. the only one thing that is annoying me is that i'm pretty sure that i had at least 3 more licenses stored and i only found one. i hope that i found those missing ones some day, but...

[]s and thanks

It's been over a month - any success in getting these updates posted/scripted?

[Cristiano]

yes, also i said, they are up and running well since Dec 25 2008. the detections also work fine. but also i said, my script is all in one, so, i've added those into ptb only. i was thinking that those was added into the .net script for enu too. but since those are multilang, i can add those into enu script. i will talk to james to check it and if ok, i will do it later, ok?

i've updated the .net script to include like following:
changelog:
# 29/01/2009: (Cristiano) +KB958481 (XP,2K3); +KB958483(XP,2K3); +KB958484(XP,2K3)

i know that there's an version of those kbs to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, but i don't have those and i can't take proper detections and install strings for this ones. so, i'm really sorry, but i will have to leave those for now. if someone have access to those and can take proper detections and install strings, i can update the script again to math. if i'm not mistaken, those updates can be found in here

the script was left unsigned, but i'm downloading all those in order to be able to sign the modules. i know that those updates are working, because i'm running those modules into my own script since about 1 month ago, but if someone had any trouble with, please report

[]s and sorry for the delay

Ran APUP about 30 minutes ago and they were listed in AutoPatcher in blue as I expected as I had previously installed them. Good work.
