    After so many years, I still feel that this feature is highly needed! The registry tweak is still one of the best parts of Win Toolkit. So Lego, please add it, and I hope that won't be too time consuming. THANKS!!

    @nonspin,
    The tone in your post is uncalled for.
    While your point that it would always be better to use paths such as %windir% rather than absolute paths like "C:\Windows\" is valid, taking such an antagonistic tone will do nothing but get you banned if it continues.  abbodi1406 is an extremely well respected member of this and many other technical forums and he has many abilities and a willingness to help others.  Every application author, including MS I'm sure, has published product using absolute paths at one time or another.  It would have been much better if you had merely asked whether there was a particular reason why absolute paths were used and whether it would be possible to rewrite the addon to use paths such as %windir% instead.  In any case, I'm sure that abbodi1406 will respond when he sees these posts.
    Cheers and Regards

    clarkg888 reacted to bphlpt in UpdateLists info   
    @chytrusek,
     
    The issue is not whether SP1 is installed or not.  The reason there is a big difference in the number of updates available from Windows Update vs Alphawaves Downloader is that Alphawaves includes all the updates from Windows Update, the ones dareckibmw refers to as "official updates", PLUS updates that are normally "request only hotfixes", usually meant to solve specific problems and not usually offered to the general public.
     
    In the old days, back when MS continued to offer Service packs for their OS, those request only updates would eventually be incorporated into a SP or roll-up along with the standard updates from Windows Update after MS had performed additional testing to ensure compatibility with existing systems generally available. Since MS no longer does that, it is up to you to decide whether you "want" those extra updates to get the latest versions of all the software components involved vs "risk" using updates that your particular system might not "need" based on your actual system use and hardware and other software you have installed. I, and many others, prefer the "be prepared" approach figuring that if MS has determined that an update solves a particular problem, then I want that update too so that just in case I am ever in that same situation then that potential problem will already be addressed.  I have never had a problem created by taking this approach.   dareckibmw, and many others, take the more "minimalist" approach figuring that MS has not determined that everyone needs those extra updates, so why increase the size of their installed OS and add more code complexity that is meant to address situations that they will probably never be in.  Of course you could also take a modified approach of downloading the complete list, but not using the updates that definitely don't apply to your needs such as extra languages or whatever, but since many system components interact in not so obvious ways, that takes more knowledge and research on your part to do that successfully.  That is also why I choose to not remove any system components, as some other folks do, but rather just disable the services and components that I don't need.  You just have to choose which approach fits your needs best.
     
    As I said above, in all cases I am aware of, the update lists are meant for systems that already have SP1 installed or included in your install source.
     
    Cheers and Regards

    Regarding KB943790.
    The KB describes it as an update to be applied to winpe.wim, not the main wim. So, it doesn't look like it should be integrated OR silent installed. If anything, it should be integrated to the winpe.wim.

    clarkg888 reacted to abbodi1406 in IE11 needs prerequisite KB2726535 ?   
    KB2726535 is superseded by KB2768486 & KB2905454
     
    The IE11 prerequisites components of KB2726535 is superseded by KB2768486, and KB2905454 completes the supersedence
     
    so, KB2768486 becomes the new prerequisite instead of KB2533623 & KB2731771
     
    BTW, those KB article are not accurate, if you want to see the actual or complete list of prerequisites check SETUPDOWNLOADLIST.txt that is included with IE11.exe package (after you extract it)

    clarkg888 got a reaction from Stimpy in McRip's Update site blocks certain IP's   
    I can't connect to McRip's update servers with WinToolkit, but I believe I know why and I wanted to share a work-around for anyone else affected.
     
    I believe McRip won't accept connections from my IP address. I use Shaw Communications in British Columbia, Canada as my ISP. I suspect he did that to deal with whoever was attacking his site some months ago.
     
    You will know if you have the same problem if your Internet works with all other sites, but when you point your browser to http://hotfix2.cesidian.info/ you get no response at all (page doesn't load). If you get the 'NO ACCESS!' page, you do not have this problem.
     
    My work-around is to connect to a VPN service prior to running WinToolkit for updates. I used http://bestcanadavpn.com/ but I'm sure other services will work also.
