Software / Security Rollup Package

« on: July 02, 2002, 11:13:07 AM »

Hi, All

Thanks for the info, I`ve successfuly built a fully patched Win2k install. here`s my contribution to the forum.

You can build a batch file from the temp dir where you extracted the files

run the following command in the i386 folder of the extracted SRP1 files, at the CMD Prompt.

dir /s /b>cleanup.txt

This is what it does:
dir /s (will recurse all sub-dirs) /b (bare format no headers)>output file for listing.txt

your cleanup.txt will be a file list of that dir, using notepad or i prefer metapad replace the last character of the file extensions.

so find .dll replace with .dl_ and so on. Use replace again to add del to the start of each line along with the correct path to your build dir.

Re-save the file as cleanup.bat or whatever and then you can launch it in your patched i386 dir to remove the files, just create lists in each of the Qxxx directories for the post srp1 hotfixes and paste the required entries, in the file to remove the compressed files. I`ll post my listing for the SRP1 dir, as a TXT You`ll need to change the path to the files and rename it to a .bat file.

Any questions PM me or post I`ll try to keep a check.

Anyone fancy collating all this data into a webpage or two I`m willing to write a few pages. As i`ve got all this working, plus i`m loading IE6 using IEAK with all patched DX8.1, Arcrobat 5 reader and a zip tool all silently during installation via unattended scripting and modifiying the install via KIX scripting.

Anyone considered applying these steps to update XP.

All the Best

Software / winxp crack

Hi Guys and Gals

Yes you can make an eval version of Win2k (any version), into the full version, ONE file requires editing. (I`ll pass the Url on to anyone whose interested if you PM Me.)

XP requires a bit more work, several patches for the 2600 build are available, PM me and I`ll pass on the URL where these can be obtained. All work I`m running XP Pro cracked this way, my reason for running a bent version stems from rumors that MS will go to a rental model for licencing later on.
I want no part of that.

XP after all the eye-candy isn`t really that great, I`ll end up dropping back to win2k (legal). WIN2k SP2 is MS`s best OS to date, it`s stable and reliable, you penguin lover stay quiet at the back:¬).

TTFN
