Re: Full reinstall of database.


Here some steps that I have used in setting up a system:
http://www.seanliming.com/Docs/XPe%20on%20Vista%20notes.pdf

I don't install the QFE 811279.

After the install of UR1, you can install the updates from the UR1 release date forward. Although the recent ECE updates in August or September is suppose to be a complete rollup since UR1 was released.

Hello All,


I have been pursuing a full reinstall of my component database in
order to prove to our test guy that we have captured everything needed
to recreate our XPE toolset.

So, that means:

* Install SP1 Databse
* Install QFE 811279 "Repository look-up may cause incorrect files to
be copied"
* Install SP1 MUI components (12 SLDs and 3CDs worth)
* Install SP2 Database Update
* Install SP2 MUI updates (23 separate installers (automate w /Q /L))
* Install FP2007 Database Updates
* Install FP2007 MUI resources (4 separate installers)
* Install Update Rollup 1.0
* Install the August 2007 cumulative update.
* Reinstalling all my custom components. (Automated w/XPECMD! - Nice)

With the problems I had with SQL Server 2008 I have spent nearly 20
hours so far.
Anyhow, after installing all of this, I go to rebuild my latest
configuration and find several errors, which were corrected by
installing the following updates:

SP1 Q841185 Patch
SP2 August 23 2006 Critical update.
FP2007 December 2007 Updates
August 2008 Optional Updates

So after a day and a half of reinstalling, it appears that the
"Cumulative Updates" were not complete. I would REALLY appreciate a
simplified installation process here.

Also, I wonder, how can I be sure that some other in-between update is
not needed. Since I started with XP Embedded just before SP2 came out
there have been approximately 50 monthly critical and optional
updates. I am wondering if I should not just apply every single one
of them to be sure that I have everything.

What would (KM / Slobodan / Liming ) do?
Are there any comments from Microsoft? Lynda Allen?

P.S. - I now have a nice "Virgin Database" backup, current to August
2008.
P.P.S - the test guy was right - we absolutely needed to do this.
