184085 2003-10-17 01:43:00 Microsoft Releases XP Update Rollup 1

"Microsoft has released Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP, An update rollup is a cumulative set of hotfixes, security patches, critical updates, and updates that are packaged together for easy deployment." The package includes 22 previously released fixes; installing one update rollup has the same result as installing the individual updates.

Update Rollup 1 for XP is available from Windows Update and by direct download from the Microsoft Web site. Two download packages are available: a full installer that weighs in at 9.2MB and an express installation version that dribbles in only the fixes that your particular system needs, saving bandwidth and time. More information and the free downloads are available from the Microsoft Web site WinXP Rollup 1 (support.microsoft.com)

Microsoft has also released its first planned set of security fixes yesterday. The set consists of five critical security fixes--four for Windows and one for Microsoft Exchange Server--and two noncritical fixes. For more information and the patch downloads, visit Microsoft's Security Web site MS Security (www.microsoft.com)


Cheers, Babe.

184086 2003-10-17 01:50:00 Sounds a bit like SP1, to be honest. agent (30)
184087 2003-10-17 02:07:00 Ah wicked. Mate of mine has been making similar things for a while now with all the updates since SP1 rolled into one nice package, sometimes with updated messenger, directx and WMP.

I'll have to check out this though.

184088 2003-10-17 02:20:00 Thanks Babe :)

Is this rollup for XP SP1 sort of a halfway mark before SP2 is released?

This is an interim rollup of patches prior to SP2 being released. There is a rumour that sp2 'may' be released before end of 2003, although MS are still 'officially' saying early 2004.

Cheers, Babe.

184090 2003-10-17 03:36:00 Is this ALL that patches since SP1 for XP?
As in, if I do a clean install of XP Pro and put on SP1 and then run this file. When I go to Windows Updates will all the critical updates and relevant recommended updates be done already?

184091 2003-10-17 03:38:00 Probably not, because by the time you do that, there'll be more updates ;) agent (30)

Well seeing as the update was released on the 15th. If I was to do the reinstall today.
