Any Way to get ALL the Updates for XP at once?

nikhsub1 · 09-26-03, 05:45 PM

I will be installing XP Pro on some 65 machines. I have SP1/XP install on CD but, when I go to windows update after installing the OS, there are like 90MB of updates

. My question is, is there a way to download all the cumulative XP Pro updates and either slipstream them into a CD or burn them to a CD so I don't have to wait for 65 machines to download 90MB each?

Thanks!

umm i think its illegal to install windows 65 times w/ 1 cd

more than likely if he is installing that many times it is for a business or school or somehing, and he has the licenses for it.

Btw I hope this post gets answered, I need to know also

That lets you just save the install files

You can download them, then try running it with the /? (in command prompt) to find a way to make more of an automated installation - since double clicking the setup file for each is a pain, trust me

See this thread. It's got instructions on how to download everything, links to doing instalation, and whatever else you want

True, but that's not what nikh is going to do. He wants to install the updates from a CD

Couldn't you make an internet proxy, have it store the update?

When I have a license for EACH copy of XP, I dont think it is illegal

Can't you install it on one system and then make an image of the HD and copy the image on the others?

I found this lionk in one of the other threads. It shows how to do what I think you want to do on the install.
