These versions are test builds and are pretty much stable. As usual, use them at your own risk.

A new final was released on November 9, 2009. If you were referred to this thread prior to November 9, please get the final from the main thread.

I hope tomcat76 doesn't mind me [tommyp] editting this post to add in a beta test build. See attachment for beta testing in preparation for the next final. Bugfixes:


There are no betas at the current time.

You can help by checking if the binary removal files (2000SP4.EXT, XPSP1.EXT and XPSP2.EXT) cover everything. Download dumpdupes.cmd and place it in the main HFSLIP folder (alongside the normal HFSLIP executable). Run this tool AFTER you ran HFSLIP (it namely requires a SOURCE and a SOURCESS folder to compare). If there are any duplicate binaries that can be removed, a file called EXCLUDE.TXT will be created. Let me know if it contains additional files to those that already exist in the current removal files. This program can be used to check Windows 2000, XP and 2003 sources.
Dumpdupes.cmd has one limitation: it only checks for duplicates in the current sources. This tool would have to be run again whenever new hotfixes arrive in order to ensure the list is up to date. I'll probably make another tool that outputs a full list of any driver binary that isn't supposed to be loose in I386 once I evaluated the pros and cons of both.[attachment=25420:hfslip_beta_Mar30.zip]

I have also problems with KB911565, I have german Windows XP SP2, it integrates without problems, kb911565.cat is in the folder and wmp.dl_ has 10.0.0.3990 version. Still WU shows KB911565 and KB904942 as not installed.

I attach HFSLIP.LOG and also WU_MS.TXT (result of HFNETCHK -V -MS) and WU_SHAVLIK.TXT (result of HFNETCHK - V), because they give different results

Hope this helps

KB904942 & KB911565 not integrated...

kb911565.cat is in SVCPACK

Wmp.dll is version 10.0.0.3990

Microsoft released a second version of 911565 for Windows XP. It includes wmp.dll version 10.0.0.4019.

I also believe Microsoft re-released 904942.

the_guy

I can not check this , because WU doesn't work me .
After starting WU the toolbar appears:
"this window has to require ActiveX control WINDOWS UPDATE from MICROSOFT WINDOWS PUBLISHER"
Click to install.

After his installation appears the error:
[The number of the error: 0x8DDD0004]


Advices aren't effective from this message:

Yes, they fixed seeking issue KB912226, so new version number - though I don't know if it helps with HFSLIP issue

I'll try it (HFSLIP with new 911565 is running right now )

but I haven't found a change in 904942, at least in german version.

Narag

I see! I will also try with the new 911565.

KB904942 is an optional update for Internet Explorer 7. If you don't install IE 7, I don't think there is any reason to include it. However, I do notice that it says the problem does not occur until IE 7 is installed. Does this mean I should include the hotfix?

Regarding the seeking issue (KB912226): On the page for KB911565, Microsoft does not say that the issue is fixed. It is still listed under "Known issues".

You're right - I was too lazy to read thoroughly the whole thing - I thought they're releasing fix and not only bumping this fix to notify users about possible complications after installation of this fix.

KB904942 is an update for Outlook Express 6 but it's only needed when/if you install IE7.

Outlook Express 6 uses "a certain way" to access HTTP-based e-mail servers (such as Hotmail) which no longer works (or is no longer accepted) when you install Internet Explorer 7. KB904942 updates the way OE6 accesses HTTP-based e-mail servers in a way that's compatible with both IE6 and IE7. So the hotfix is not needed if you decide to not install IE7, but installing it anyway doesn't harm your system either.

@Tomcat76
Can you direct Me what I do bad?

Did you redownload KB911565? It was updated according to the_guy. WMP.DLL is at version 10.0.0.4019 now.

Yes, downloading V2 of KB911565 solved the problem - there simply WAS newer version of this fix

Thanks Tomcat76 for your work

P.S.: Do you know why KB904942 doesn't get slipstreamed?

I'll check it out tomorrow. But it worked before, didn't it?

I redownloaded KB911565.

I did several tests.
I didn't use folders :HFSVCPACK & HFAAO

1. I used HFSLIP_60401.CMD
WU does not work.

2. I used HFSLIP_60414a.CMD, deleted *.CAT
WU doesn't work also.

3. I used HFSLIP_60414a.CMD, deleted *.CAT
I added KB917425, KB912812 and deleted KB905915
WU doesn't work

4. This test was identical as TEST3 only I left the files of the CAT.
WU doesn't work also


Info: MS KB917425

If I remember correctly, your Windows Update problem isn't new. I don't know what "Microsoft Windows Publisher" is...

No, it didn't work for me.
Well, for me it's a minor issue as I don't plan to install IE7 in near/distant future

You can try 60415b for the KB904942-v2 problems. I'll start doing extensive tests in a while myself.

I found out why 904942 doesn't get slipstreamed. The new version is only on Windows Update. You need to go to the Windows Update Catalog to download the new version.

the_guy

Then could you please host it somewhere for the poor people that can't use WU ?
(nLite, blabla, removed, blabla, is able to restore BITS and AutoUpdate service but seems something else missing, blabla, wil dig into, blabla :flowers: )

Thanks for the tip, the_guy. You are right. I installed the WU Catalog version by hand and then Windows Update stopped complaining.

I removed the "trial fix" for KB904942-v2 introduced in HFSLIP_60415a.

For the folks that are interested in having the WMP9/10 classic skin... It appears that the latest fix introduced about two days ago does the trick. Happy skinless experience...

New final is coming up. I just need to do one more test.

The fix for the "DX3 problem" on Windows 2003 will not be included in the final since noone seems to give a F. I can't test this myself because everything's fine on my end.
