Do I Replace Or Not???
« on: April 18, 2003, 01:12:09 PM »
First off, I just want to say how much help I have received from this forum. I am trying to make a WinXP SP1, with drivers and hotfixes update.

The only problem I have right now is on the hotfixes.
I used windows catalouge and downloaded all the hotfixes I need.
I put the hotfixes .exes in svcpack along with their .cat files.

First question: one of the hotfixes had a file empty.cat and then the qxxxxxxx.cat file. I put qxxxxxxx in the svcpack folder, but do I need to put empty.cat into there as well.

Secondly, I have extracted the hotfixes to a temporary directory and removed all of the unnesscary files like symbols etc. I am now taking the binaries and pasting them into my i386 folder, BUT my question is now:

I have two .dlls and one .cab. Neither of the .dlls have version numbers, just creation dates.
     Which file do I choose. The one from the i386 folder or the one from the hotfix. The bigger file or the newest file (based on their creation date).

Thanks in advance
