How to install This Update?!

Hi guys

There's a new USB update from Microsoft at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307271

The update is a executable with only 3 cab files in it (only extracts).

How can you install this update? It just extracts to a directory?

If you rightclick on the .inf's and select install - to does nothing (extracted from the "update.cab" in the update)

There's a file called usbuhci.sys._p1 that I wish to install manually
Usually you can expand compressed files with the filename.ex_ format with:
expand -r filename.ex_ --> filename.ext (uncompressed)

but this is in a weird format usbuhci.sys._p1 - how can I expand the file to usbuhci.sys and install the update manually??

It is prob just patching instructions for the existing usbuchi.sys file.

Hope someone can help - XP's USB implementation sux bigtime more so than in 2k.

According to Microsoft: This is a Dynamic Update File that's used (in theory) when you install XP (mass deployment of XP by admins). The .exe is not in the other M$oft patch formats but extracts only (aarrg) you need to run winnt32 (i386 dir) off the Install CD with winnt32.exe /duprepare: "c:\extracted location" to prepare the patch files (it did nothing my my PC). Then you need to install the Updates with Win. With: winnt32 /dushare: "c:\location of prepared files ".

It's supposed to updated the original CD Setup files (which it copies to the HD) and then install WinXP. There's a new Install Screen called Dynamic Update when Windows Installs. Didn't install the file on my System regardless.

Does anyone know of a way to install it correctly - abviously WITHOUT reinstalling WinXP.

Thanks

update

Whew this is a MS play on words, eh! I don't get it either? I don't need the download but I did try the install, nada. Instead of "save to disk" try "open now ", 'sposed ta begin install from there.

 

Hi

Thanks for replying,

I had a look there again - and it seems that the reason for not supplying a proper patch is because it's not tested enough. My modem def freaks every odd hour - and consumes 20% resources just being plugged in on USB. (even with a new PCI USB board)

I've installed all available updates on XP - and it seems the usbuhci.sys file is still on 2600.0 version wise.

Actually re-installed this weekend with the update procedure (/dushare:...) prior to installation - and it does display the extra dialog "updating" but don't think it actually updated the file (

I've just had a look through the system and it seems there's a newer file with ver 2600.14 in some setup dir off the Windows directory.

Will replace the older one in a while ... hold thumbs.

I keep all the patches on disk and simply re-apply them apon re-installation - nifty since the Java update is 5 megs alone. Nice to install your system with all the patches applied.

Still wonder how one would install those Dynamic Update Microsoft patches

after the fact

Arie, I never new that How do we get this feature "After the fact "?

 

Hi Arie,

I think we got that much information together about Dynamic Updates.

The question here is how to apply them without reinstalling Windows.

Hi

Micro$oft should have attached a note saying: Patch only for NEW users who Might experience problems - ***** you if you have trouble with your current current install.
