Forgive me if it is inappropriate to post my question here, but it
directly
relates to this thread. Isn't it better to add to an existing thread
rather
than start a new one? If not and you consider this to be hijacking and
think
I should create my own thread for this, please tell me, and very sorry for
posting here.

1. Mike, what do you mean by WinMe file set?
2. Do you mean one or all of these places that have CAB files?
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL
C:\ADMIN\WinMeOEM [where I installed WinMe from]
3. Would all of these locations need updating, or just some?
4. Specifically *which* hotfixes (windows updates) for WinMe can be
integrated into the file set using msbatch?

I'd like to know how to use it to add drivers and certain updates to
create
a custom WinMe CD and an updated custom installation source point at
C:\ADMIN\WinMeOEM. I've heard that drivers and the WinMe System Restore
Update 290700 can be included but that IE6SP1, DX90c, and WMP9 cannot. I
have the Win98 Resource Kit but do not know how to use msbatch. The book
is
technical at times and my DOS skills are novice.

5. Where can I learn more about how to use msbatch 98?
6. Which files do I need: batch.exe, infinst.exe, dbset.exe?
7. Would I have to initially run msbatch from my Win98se laptop instead of
my WinMe computer? It sounds like I may need to write a custom script
(.inf)
file. I don't know how to do that but am willing to learn. Thanks.

What can be done, but is hardly worth the trouble is to use msbatch from
the Win98 Resource Kit to integrate missing or updated drivers into the
Win Me file set and also certain hotfixes can be added.
