Cleanup for ./install/packages

Hi! The fact, that some installers (7-Zip, ActivePerl, JRE, Spybot and others) are lying in the ./install/packages directory and not in subdirectories to that like all the other installers, is annoying me for quite a long time now. So I would like to change that and modify the scripts in our C

winxpsp1-updates.bat

Hi! On 2005-04-12, the period of grace for the XP service pack 2 ended. I think we should drop the winxpsp1-updates.bat (empty it, add the SP2 and call winxpsp2-updates.bat). Does anybody disagree? cu Niels --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by
