Daisy v2.2

An intelligent auto-hotfix utility for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP

Actually, this is what it does*:

1. Verify command line switches

2. Verify security access requirements

3. Verify OS version and service pack

4. Download daisy.ini from FTP site

5. Check version in .ini to running app's version

5.5. Build ignoreQs.txt from daisy.ini

6. Run qfecheck for pre-hotfix check

7. Update registry so Daisy can post event log messages

8. Download .xml or .zip mssecure database from local FTP or xml.shavlik.com via HTTP

9. Run hfnetchk locally with downloaded xml database and ignoreQst.txt file

10. Extract hotfix info from results

11. Report to user and ask if they want to download and install hotfixes

12. For each hotfix, try to download the file and it's .cls pairing from the local FTP site

13. Checksum the hotfix file to make sure it downloaded correctly

14. Install each hotfix with its custom command line switches

15. Report outcome to the user

16. Write events to the event log

17. Run qfecheck for post-hotfix check

18. Run qchain to organize hotfix installs

19. Quit or reboot depending on command line switches

*this is an oversimplification
