Can one of the MVPs help me with steps to integrate the
Win2000 SP4 Critical Updates JS56nen.exe (KB814078) and
com_microsoft.Q832483_MDAC_x86 into an Updated Bootable
DVD I have been trying to create for Unattended Install?

I have a Win2000 Pro -SP2 CD. I have been trying to create
a Bootable DVD with Slipstreamed SP4 along with all the
Post-SP4 Critical & Security updates (17) , Recommended
Win2k Updates (7), IE6SP1, WMP 9Series, Directx9.0b, MS
Java VM 3805 and 3810, SunJavaVM, OfficeXP slipstreamed
with SP3 and updated with OfficeXP832668 client and
OfficeXP kb833858, MSN Messenger 6.1, Adobe Acrobat Reader
6.0 (full), Adaware 6.0, Winrar, Nero6.0 Ultra Edition and
the Audio, Video, and NIC drivers my ASUS P4V533-MX
motherboard CD contains.
I was able to make a Bootable DVD with all except the
following Critical Updates for the unattended install:

1. JS56nen.exe (KB814078)
                     and
2. com_microsoft.Q832483_MDAC_x86

The above two Updates refuse to get installed from
1. SVCPACK
2. Cmdlines. Txt
3. GuiRunOnce of Winnt.Sif

All the other Security Updates (hotfixes) and Applications
got installed without any problem from cmdlines.txt

Initially, I tried using SVCPACK for all 17 updates. But
only 4 could be installed and the rest including the
KB814078 and Q832483 were rejected by the setup.

Therefore I listed the Updates in the Cmdlines.txt along
with Batch files for IE6sp1, Directx90b, WMP9, MS JavaVM
3805 and 3810, SunJavaVM, OfficeXP-SP3, MSN Messenger6.1,
Adobe Acrobat 6.0, Adaware 6.0, WinRar and Nero6...

This time all except the listed two updates were installed.

I added the two in SVCPACK. I downloaded these two
Critical updates into SVCPACK and renamed them (8.3
Format). Then Expanded them to Samplefolder and moved the
Cat Files to SVCPACK and the binaries (after proper
culling) to i386. I deleted the corresponding older
binaries from i386 when I moved their replacements into
that folder. I edited the Dosnt.inf. and then added the
svcpack under Uniproc in [OptionalSrcDirs] I had included
all the binaries under [Files] with d1...

I deleted the existing SVCPACK_in and created a new
svcpack.inf in i386 and edited to make it
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=0
 BuildNumber =2195
[SetupData]
[CatalogSubDir="\1386\svcpack"
[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

JS56nen.CAT
Kb832483.Cat (there were a number of them)

SetupHotfixesToRun]

JS56nen.ex e /Q /R: N

Enu-Q832483-MDAC-X86.EXE /c:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q: a
Qchain.exe (of March2003)

When the above failed, I tried both of them as batch files
under the [GuiRunOnce] section of Winnt.sif while keeping
the 8.3 Renamed Exe files as
$OEM%\$1\Winapps\Hotfies\Q832483

$OEM%\$1\Winapps\Hotfies\JS56nen.exe

That also failed.

I tried the JS56nen using SVCPACK, Svcpack.inf and
DOSNET.inf while running Enu-Q832483-MDAC-
X86.EXE /c:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q: a from [GuiRunOnce]
That too did not work.

If I save them in Hotfixes folder as above they get copied
to the DVD. Once the install is completed and I run
Windows Update, I find these two files alone are not
installed.
 If, then I open the Hard drive partition and locate the
Exe files or the Hotfix.cmd for the installation of the
exe files and click, these two get installed with no
problem. Similarly I can click the Hotfix.cmd or the Exe
files themselves from the created DVD to install them
after I complete the Win2k Setup.

How can I make automatic install of the above two updates?
Hope some one can guide me in overcoming this last hurdle.
