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]

Now is great
Downloaded it and will give it a try soon!
Does it also prevent RunOnceEx from breaking due to integrating the new IE7?

None of the HFSLIP versions do anything to fix the RunOnceEx problem. You should just include the latest cumulative update -- which seems to work for most people.

You mean the latest cummulative update for IE7? I had that in my HF folder, but RunOnceEx didn't run. What is the latest update, so that I can check?

There is a new update for IE7 available:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB939653)

Maybe this will fix the problems with the new IE7 installer with wrong time stamps?

If you are using the latest version of the main IE7 package then you must use the latest HFSLIP test release.

Is there any reason why HFSLIP doesn't support w03a3409.dll for 2003 SP2 updates? I missed the difference until today, so is that it?

It's just a couple lines that need to be added, and another to be modified.

You are probably referring to localized namings of w03a3409.dll.

I didn't know the file existed. It should be supported now.

RC4 gives al lot of "file not found" errors, and creates a file TEMP instead of a folder wich causes the file not found errors, manually making a temp folder during the process causes the error: TEMP\APPC wordt niet herkend als een interne of externe opdracht, programma of batchbestand (translated something like bad command or filename), serveral "random character" folders are made in the root of c:\ (probably also caused bij the temp folder thingie)

1.6.6rc4 doesn't run correctly on Japanese XP SP2.
The script is terminated at the GET LUNG section.
The 3199th line of the script is garbled in Japanese command prompt, and seems to cause the error.

@Nanasi3

Thanks for reporting this. Can you verify that it's fixed in 1.6.6 RC5?


@Glowy

Do you have the same problem with RC5? Try rebooting your system and do a chkdsk too.

RC5 -> still the same
reboot -> still the same
I'm building a new VM atm to test something else.. I will test it in the VM when it's done, maybe somethings wrong with my PC.

I see the problem. I'll fix this asap.

Edit: fixed

1.6.6rc6 works fine.
Thank you very much !

I'm testing 1.7.0 rc1. It's OK with Greek language and updates but in the hfslip process I get a "zero file copied" as you can see inthe attachment. Is it normal?

Yes, it's normal in that situation. HFSLIP 1.6.4 and newer force-copy ieframe.dll.mui, jscript.dll and vgx.dll from IE7 hotfixes because they have an older creation date than those in the new IE7 installer. After that, HFSLIP does a "normal" copy of the remaining files, but you see "0 File(s) copied" because vgx.dll is the only file inside IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127 (there is nothing else to copy). The same applies to IE7-WindowsXP-KB933873 which only contains jscript.dll.

However, DOS allows copying of files created on or after a specified date, so I will experiment with that feature a bit now. Maybe it will make it in the next version.

Well, it's there in 1.7.0rc2.

In the system properties the automatic update tab is shown in English, but it should be Greek.
Is there any chance that this is caused by hfslip?? With older versions this didn't happened. I think that this occurs with 1.7rc versions but I'm not sure.
The snapshot is from hfslip 1.7rc4 without any other addons or driverpacks.

What is your OS language according to HFSLIP.LOG?

Can you extract the attached ZIP file into the HFSLIP working folder, run it, and report back the number that's displayed?

I will do when i get home. Can you send me the 1.6rc version to test again because I have a working dvd created with that version.

edit: and the lucky number is 1033

So FP extensions are in English for you... Nice.

Can you download the attachment in my previous post (updated) and run that? It also reports the language code. I hope that's not "enu", hehe...
