XP Updates without interenet connection

Posted: 07-21-2004, 03:45 PM
1. Is there a Microsoft program I can use to scan a XP computer that does
not have an internet connection to see what critical Windows updates it
needs?

2. Once I have the list of needed updates, I can install each one
individually as I have figured out how to download all available XP updates
on one CD, but that takes a lot of time. Is there a way to easily install
all needed updates.

Reason why: Many times I arrive at a users computer and it is so messed up
with viruses or ad-ware that they cannot connect or stay connected to the
internet to do a windows update. What I would like to do is arrive with a CD
or 2, run a scan to see what windows updates they need, then install them.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks......Paul

One place you can go is www.autopatcher.com They have a downloadable
program, or on CD, that will provide most of what you're looking for.
