Hi..
Continuing from my previous post a few days back. I tried
the link for the patch. Well we have a problem there..the
quickfix is for updating the development suite and will
affect all the future images, but what do we do to update
the images which are currently in the field? We tried
downloading the link onto one of the thiin clients and it
threw up an error saying certain components were missing.
Is there a way around this?
let me know
thanks

Well, the error you're seeing is because the installer itself obviously has
dependencies that are unrelated to any feature actually being updated.

As mentioned in another thread, hopefully you have some kind of update
mechanism already in place within deployed machines such as Device Update
Agent. If so, then you're in luck. All you have to do is expand the QFE EXE
with WinZip, the weupdate.inf lists the files that are changing, those are
the files that are being replaced. I'm not sure how you would identify any
potential required reg keys other than examining the updated SLD, but you
can also retrieve all this same information and much more from the QFE web
page for the full product that the embedded page links to, you can expand
that one with WinZip as well.
