I've been trying to get Unattended setup for Windows 2000
and I noticed an error.  I also have a question about using
Windows Update after the process finishes.

When installing the fix for KB918439, the file is
downloaded to
updates/win2ksp4/ie6.0sp1-kb918439-windows-2000-xp-x86-enu.exe,
but the install command runs
updates\winxpsp1\ie6.0sp1-kb918439-windows-2000-xp-x86-enu.exe.

Second, perl.bat skips the installation of Windows
Installer 3.1 on Windows 2000 since it requires SP4 to be
installed first.  However, win2k-updates.bat has not been
updated to install version 3.1 after SP4, instead it
installs version 3.0.

Also, I've tried doing Unattended installs of Win2k both
with and without SP4 integrated.  When I ran Windows Update
on the system after the integrated install finished
updating, it reported that around 10 updates that had
already been installed were available to download.  I don't
have the exact list, but I remember that Update Rollup 1
was listed.  I think someone else has reported this issue
on the list before, is there any known fix?  It didn't
happen when I installed plain Win2k and SP4 was applied as
part of the update process.

The last problem I had was with KB886179, an update for
Windows Journal Viewer which failed with status 106.  We
don't have a need for Journal Viewer so I just removed this
update and the Journal Viewer from the script, but I wanted
to report it.  Also, is there documentation anywhere on
these status codes?  I've seen 106, 67, and 1.  I'm pretty
sure 1 means file not found since it occurred on the
Malicious Software Tool which I had not downloaded and the
KB918439 which I mentioned above.

Other than these small issues, Unattended is working great,
so thanks very much.
