Windows Update Agent into MSI

Quick question,

I would like to roll out these two updates to all our LAN clients:

WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe

WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

Anyone know of a good way to do this using the exe files or maybe a
location/way I could download/convert these files into MSI and use Group
Policy?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Rich

I haven't done it with these two specifically, but with all the other
patches before WSUS came along,
- extract it to see if it is an msi. You have to play around with the
switches
(http://www.liebsoft.com/whitepapers/...ne_Options.pdf
or else just run it and look in the temp directory
- or create an msi package with this as a custom action
Then put in a GPO

Thanks, I couldn't remember if WSUS rolled these ones out itself or not,

I think it pretty much gets everything. If nothing else, it will greatly reduce
the ones you have to get manually and it will help deal with the mass of patches
in a more organized way.

Thanks, only problem with this solution is that we are using WSUS and the
problem I am trying to eliminate happens when the old agent tries to connect
to wsus. Need to replace the agent so that WSUS works. Chicken and egg
situation. ;o)
