This is due to the hard coding of most of the timezone changes (the essential registry edits that are made when running the tzchange.exe tool with the switches and values outlined in the installation INF files of both timezone updates).

But it's less than 61214a which was 184.6kb large...

I'm currently facing a strange issue with the latest test releases (61214a and

I use the exact same fileset for XP pro and XP Home execpt the product key in my winnt.sif.

My log for XP home is joined.

The issue I'm facing is :

Using Sysprep I resceal the computer (so the end user can run the oobe).
During the OOBE wizard user is prompted to create usere accounts.
With Xp Pro everything runs perfectly, but in XP Home every part of the OOBE wizzard are running EXCEPT the user creation part.

I can't understand why with the exact fileset one version has this problem and the other one not..

Any help appreciated

Let's see... resell product and hfslip. These don't go hand in hand. HFSLIP is for personal use, and you accepted this whenever you run HFSLIP. Thank you for your support.

I know that, but i'm just reporting an strange issue that wan't present with precedent releases

It's possible the extra update for WMP11 is responsible for this. It may be incompatible with XP Home. I don't have a copy of Home Edition at hand so I can't test this myself. Please remove WMP11 and KB898543, and try again.

@All

Can we please try using the right terminology? It's reseal, not rescell or resell.

Thanks.

I can confirm that Power Shell doesn't install at T-13, but I've no problem with .NET 2.0. I used an old version of the Foxy addon (extracted & copied 00dNET20.exe into HFSVCPACK) which doesn't yet include the latest two hotfixes for .NET 2.0.

I have done several tests last night but nothing worked. I'm going to see now if it works at first GUI logon.


We're nearing in on a new final. I want to do two more tests:

- Power Shell at GUI logon
- remove workaround for Win2K OE 5.5 inetcomm.dll binary to see if new version is OK

@Tomcat76

Ok, I have momentarily solved the problem replacing .NET Framework with the RogueSpear's versions (thanks Super-Magician) and loading Power Shell silently to GuiRunOnce.

I controlling SVCPACK.INF and the PSHELL.EXE archive it's in list, but...

Thanks for the interest and I attend news…

Bye!

@Tomcat76,

Is nLite still slipstreaming IE7 at all? I was thinking maybe we could implement their method, but I'm sure you've thought of that long ago.

@Tomcat76

There would be an other FALSE problem in the use of XP Home in unattended installation…

I explain myself…

Using the switch “UnattendSwitch=Yes” in the Home edition, it comes automatically created a default administrator user that in the Italian version it takes the name of “Proprietario”.

In order to replace this user with one of our choice his sufficient to use in T13 the command "NET" as in the following example…

---------- AHFSLIP.TXT ----------
net user "Proprietario" /DELETE
net user "%MYUSERNAME%" "" /ADD
net localgroup Administrators "%MYUSERNAME%" /ADD
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
---------------------------------

Manually or automatically I can simply create one script with these commands completed with username and to put it in HFSVCPACK and to leave your script the task to mill it.

An other solution cleaned up enough would be that one to add to your script, as an example, the following line…

-------
IF EXIST HFTOOLS\AHFSLIP.TXT FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%I IN (HFTOOLS\AHFSLIP.TXT) DO ECHO %%I >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
-------

… immediately after the line…

-------
ECHO Title HFSLIP >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
-------

If there were, for case, the decision to support this function, is need of one variable for the definition of the username to add and one variable for the definition of the username to delete.

All this simply in order to say that, perhaps, it would be comfortable to be able to insert the possibility to add commands in this phase to outside of my single case.

Bye!

@retalv,

This is already supported. Create a batch file with the necessary commands called HFSPLUG2.CMD and place it into HFSVCPACK.

Keep this in mind - the CMD is executed right before the log file is generated. The path is your HFSLIP folder.

Excuse me, but I don't understand…

The only reference to HFSPLUG2.CMD is this…

IF EXIST HFTOOLS\HFSPLUG2.CMD CALL HFTOOLS\HFSPLUG2.CMD

… and is one call in phase of construction, not of installation… and it's not documented.

Bye!

hi retalv! perhaps this would be of help: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...amp;hl=USERNAME ...

Ok, but the name of the script can be whichever name, JUMP.CMD DonaldDuck.CMD or… HFSPLUG2.CMD…

In other words one does not join null to how much I had already written in the previous post.

Perhaps the little familiarity of the language makes me badly to comprise…

However thanks to all.

Bye!

@retalv, you must use the name 'HFSPLUG2.CMD'. Simply write whatever you want to do in the batch script, then place it in HFTOOLS. If you're not sure how to do so, I'm not so sure how we can help as it was an older feature (i.e. HFSPLUG1.CMD existed before but we later incorporated that stuff back into the script).

HFSPLUG2.CMD is called almost at the end of an HFSLIP run. After that, the log file is created and then the ISO is made and burned (if applicable). So its purpose was (and apparantly still is ) to make last-minute modifications to a new source that's already slipstreamed.

Perhaps I continue to not understand…

Please, answer to me single yes or not.

The making of script HFSPLUG2.CMD it's equivalent to ADD command lines to HFSLIP.CMD (created beginning from UPDATE_INIT)...

REM ===============UPDATE_INIT==================
:UPDATE_INIT
ECHO @ECHO OFF>>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
REM CLS >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
ECHO IF EXIST %%SYSTEMROOT%%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE cmdow @ /HID >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
ECHO Title HFSLIP >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
ECHO FOR %%%%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%%%i:\%MBOOTPATH%I386\SVCPACK SET HFSLIP=%%%%i:\%MBOOTPATH%I386>>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD
GOTO EOF
REM =========================================

...and runing at T13 of the O.S. installation ?

Practically it is this that timidly I asked to implement (if it does not exist already) with this line…

IF EXIST HFTOOLS\AHFSLIP.TXT FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%I IN (HFTOOLS\AHFSLIP.TXT) DO ECHO %%I >>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD

...that transfers the content of AHFSLIP.TXT to HFSLIP.COM.

Bye!

@retalv,

You're kind of confused there. I'm not quite sure where you're getting this information .

OK, kindly read Tomcat's post above and the information below.

HFSPLUG2.CMD does not modify any predetermined file. It only does what you tell it to do. That is, the file is called by the HFSLIP program at the end of the slipstreaming process right before the log file is written.

If you want HFSLIP to do what you requested, simply create the plug-in file like this...

HFTOOLS\HFSPLUG2.CMD

We can't implement exactly what you told us because that would just be redundant.

Now I have understood! It's obvious!

I did not consider that whichever external call is sufficient in order to activate it or for direct imput of HFSLIP.CMD.

Excuse me, but evidently a swarm of neutrinos has increased my stupidity…

Thanks!

No. As I said in my previous post, HFSPLUG2.CMD is called when the new source is ready. So HFSLIP.CMD already has the word "EXIT" at the end. If you add anything below "EXIT", it will be ignored when it's run (at T-13).

Try this:

FINDSTR/VI "EXIT" SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD>>HFSLIP.CMD
ECHO>>HFSLIP.CMD net user "Proprietario" /DELETE
ECHO>>HFSLIP.CMD net user "MYUSERNAME" "" /ADD
ECHO>>HFSLIP.CMD net localgroup Administrators "MYUSERNAME" /ADD
ECHO>>HFSLIP.CMD net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
ECHO>>HFSLIP.CMD EXIT
MOVE/Y HFSLIP.CMD SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK
