Some time ago I started a autoit script that allows easy patching of offline windows-installations.
I had hoped to have it ready months ago - but never found the time to finish it.
Also my autoit skills are quite limited
See http://sanbarrow.com/patchman.html for some more screenshots and a short description.
I would like to finish it now with some help.
If you are interested in looking into the code please send me a PM
Code needs some error-handling and clean up and some work with filling a starter patch-library.
I already got a a lot of patches for this but still have to translate them into the final format.
Anyway - the idea is to make adding patches to a public patch library very easy.
You just put files to add in a subdir "files" of your patch and registry patches that should be applied by the patch into a subdir like system or software ...
You may know the fix-ide or fix-vmscsi patches. These can be added very easily.
On the long range - with some guys adding patches for all kinds of systems this can become a very simple way of preparing migrated systems before starting them in a changed environment.
