Hello, are critical updates and security updates .MSI files??? if not what kind of files are they??? Thanks...
 
I've never found any. I ended up just lauching them all from a batch file. I went to Microsoft and downloaded all the patches and placed them on the network. I run this batch file and it installs them all with interaction needed. As of last month, I was only missing the Internet Explorer Monthly update (June).

ReddLefty...is it possible for you to give me the process of downloading and making a batch file for these updates... I assume that you dont use WinInstall LE then... thanks...
 
teamaker, that's very useful but i want to be able to do it and distribute it out to clients... any suggestions on that??
 
You can download the individual packages when they become available at:


Basically, I just took a new computer, ran all the patches and wrote down the ones it took. Certain patches may be needed as extra, like if you install MDAC 2.5 or 2.6, a different patch is required for each.
 
And no, they don't work with WinInstall LE, that's why I run them in a batch file as such.
