XP Pro and updates Critical 810565 &Security 328310

[Silverman]

All other updates install fine except these two, I encounter the update.inf error make sure encryption is enabled. The kicker here is I have updated successfully all the updates released after these two. I have searched the harddrive and found the downloaded files but XP won't let me alter them to try another download of the files. Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I got this information from MS KB.

Create a batch file exactly as shown below.

@echo off
setlocal
set PATHTOFIXES=E:\hotfix
(you may want to change the drive & path here to suit yours)
%PATHTOFIXES%\Q123456_WxP_sp?_x86.exe /Z /Q
%PATHTOFIXES%\Qabcdef_WxP_sp?_x86.exe /Z /Q

The /Z will not restart computer after every file and
/Q will use silent mode w/out user intervention.

I confirm having installed 10 updates this way after having them downloaded them locally on my disk. However I did not have the problem you mentioned. I wanted to avoid multiple reboots & searched for QChain on MS site.

Please note this is possible only for updates following the above nomenclature style only i.e. post-SP1.

The title of the MS KB is "Microosft Windows XP Hotfix Installation & Deployment Guide."

Unfortunately the KB no. is missing from my hard copy of this.

Please post to let me know if I could be of help to you.

No help with the batch file still the same error as follows in the log
Setup could not verify the integrity of the file Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is running on this computer. Not quite the same error as before, Cryptographic service is running.

Could you please try installing the Q814033 update for fixing the .inf issue ? This was recently posted by MS & more info is available at 814033 on the MS site.

You may be already aware that the Q has been dropped for searching the MSKB.
