I deleted Kels_UserPass2_addon_v1.CAB and ISOconf.txt and I will test it again

hi all!

been away for quite a while ... ;(

just wanted to share that all seems fine with those that i have slipstreamed ...

only a few things to share though:

888111 doesn't seem to recognized when ITs presence is validated via qfecheck ... it does not show in the report

a particular theme addon (VistaCGI if i recall it right) from rynavm prevent the OS from installing ... it shows that line 1 of textsetup.sif is not valid ...

there seems to many directories (usually the very 1st folders) added to my i386 directory (i.e., 041, 043, & the like) ... where did these come from?

btw, XPIZESW=/S /notask still didn't work for me. XPize installation still showed up at T-13 & i still followed the prompts.
may i just ask what the SW is for?

thanks!

@dziubek - What you are seeing is some LFN in your svcpack directory. It either got there from your HFSVCPACK directory or a non-compliant ryanvm addon. If you are running installation via CD, there is NO NEED to worry about this error message. The only way you will get errors is if you are running a dos prompt install (e.g. winnt.exe).

@kiki - Do you get the same folder problem if you are not using application add-ons?

Kiki - the SW in XPIZESW just means "switches", like in CDIMGSW and MKISSW (isoconf.txt).

It doesn't matter for Windows - it's for UNIX purposes only.
excerpt from Wikipedia

Is qfecheck capable of detecting it? As far as I know, it is only installed if Windows setup thinks it's necessary. It's just a driver update. Are you having audio problems?

Really strange. SVCPACK.INF doesn't contain the switches even though they are specified in XPize.txt. Can I have a look at your xpize.txt file?

Tomcat, would you mind keeping this post/thread up to date? You do a really great job of breaking this stuff down to my level

@Kiki: Themes_rytukz_VistaCG_addon_v1.0.cab (and other addons of that type) should be supported with 60503a...

@TAiN: You mean that one reference to the HFSVPK folder? Updated.

Hah... Well... Should I let HFSLIP extract the ISO, update HFSLIP.LOG and remake the ISO?

@dziubek

You have a couple of addons with spaces in their name. Are those the original names or did you change (or make) them yourself?

I have not added much add-ons except for the ff: VistaCG Theme [v0.98], Microsoft MakeCab v1.00.0601, XnView Complete v1.82.4, Reboot Into Safe Mode v1.0 ... please see the pic attachment for the extra folders



thanks for the clarification Super-Magician … I was just thinking that replacing it probably with .exe would make it work



pls see attachments sir … I’ve included both the SVCPAK & SYSOC.infs … please know I am not having problems w/ the installation … it’s just that I hope I wouldn’t have to answer follow the prompts anymore at T-13



got the latest already … let me try this ver J
just the same pls see the pic attachment for the error

thanks guys!

this is nothing much ... but may be worth a look ...

@Kiki

60503b fixes the XPize problem. I also added something that alerts you which hotfix adds those extra folders. Please let me know which one it is.

When you install KB888111 by hand, Windows assumes that you need it. I'll search around to see if it's really better to have Windows force-install it from SVCPACK.

Everything should be fine with VistaCG (only checked version 1.0). I'll check the other addons you mentioned.

Yeah... That's why CounterStrike isn't made for DOS...

@Kiki

I had a look at the other addons you mentioned (except Microsoft MakeCab v1.00.0601 which doesn't seem to be available anymore) and don't see a problem. Please use the latest test release (60503c at the moment). If you still get an error referring to "line 1" of TXTSETUP.SIF, I'll have to take a look at your TXTSETUP.SIF file.

@all
Thanks for explanation about The Rock Ridge...


@Tomcat76
I used only addons from RYAN's forum.
I will tidy up addons (upgrade too) from HFAAO and HFSVCPACK and I write raport about that today.

dziubek

thanks TC!
as always, i have downloaded the latest!

sir, do you mind looking into this: http://users.atw.hu/mp-soft/CabSDKAddons_1.0.cab?

i've taken the liberty of attaching a zipped sif files (1 without the error & 1 with the error) for your reference

just wondering, for XPize to be silently install would i not need an edited modified SFC_OS.DLL which i got from http://www3.sympatico.ca/lazimute/xpcr_en/SFC_OS.DL_?

thanks again!

HFSLIP doesn't handle it?

You get the "bad" TXTSETUP.SIF after including VistaCG? If so, please download the latest version of the VistaCG addon (it's now at version 1.0 but you're still using 0.98) and run HFSLIP again. After that, see if TXTSETUP.SIF still is 3.13KB large.

I don't know this personally (I never used XPize) but other people say it's needed.

i think HFSLIP does sir ... since Microsoft MakeCab v1.00.0601 isn't avail anymore, would http://users.atw.hu/mp-soft/CabSDKAddons_1.0.cab more or less have the same function?


already got the 1.1 ver ... will try it


oops sorry for the confusion ... i meant would there be anything else that needs to be edited in this already modified SFC_OS.DL_?

BTW, how do i get to edit some text files (.dl_, .sif, etc.) when they appear to be with non-eng, non alpha-numeric chars? ;o

thanks again!

I don't know... I never used another version than the one that comes with Windows...

Whoops... I better check if it's still compatible then...

I don't think so. Windows should just not check if a file is original so I guess the SFC_OS.DLL file you have is good.

I never messed with SFC* files myself. Does anyone know this?

Kiki, Typically if a file has a _ at the end, it's a compressed file. The only files that you really look at with a text editor are inf's and sif's. As far as replacing system protected files and other files, you're best bet would be to familiarize yourself with this. If you are only slipstreaming the hotfixes listed on Tomcat76's hotfix webpage, you do not need to alter any files (like sfc_os.dl_). However, if you want to add in the tweaks such as xpize or certain AAO's, then you are more than likely going to need a modified sfc_os.dl_. FYI, xpize modifed a boatload of dlls.

@Kiki

Version 60505a no longer checks for duplicate entries in TXTSETUP.SIF. There's no real need for doing that and it may have been responsible for your TXTSETUP.SIF problem. Please try this release and tell me two things before you install it:

- the file size of TXTSETUP.SIF in SOURCESS\I386
- the name of the hotfix that adds the "04" folders to SOURCESS\I386
