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]

Well, I narrow it down to 3 possibilities.

1. One of the updates broken OE.
2. HFSlip broke OE.
3. Corrupt source files.

Right now, I cannot solve 2, so I am reslipstreaming from a virgin source of XP, with SP3 first, then HFSlip without IE7, and see if this solve the error. Then again with IE7 to see if the error will crop out.

returns to download all the files and works with a clean source ... I can assure you that integrates all inclusive i.e7 and wmp11 and all hotfixs.-
WGA also works fine and others. cabs. I include in my work silverligth and upclean although not sure if it is necessary upclean... silverligth is necessary for the additional tool in hftool (HFSLIP_PRE_Silverlight10.CMD)... do not forget the new cabs wbemoc.cab because without this the integration, i.e7 and wmp11 is corrupted......bye

Well, so far I ran HFSlip again on a virgin source, but without IE7 and the 2 IE7 updates, and voila, OE6 appear unharmed.

When I re-ran with IE7 again, OE6 get busted again.

Right now, I am re-running HFSlip on newly downloaded IE7 and IE7 Updates again, and on a different machine to boot. If the symptom is consistent, then it would appear that IE7 is the culprit here.

Keep an open mind. I will keep posting on the results.

The commands I posted did not work correctly. To skip any files inside directories starting with a . from getting processed I use the following command:

@kenlau

Have you also tried with just IE7 (no updates)?

It is also possible that the problem lies with the silent executables you have. There could be a conflict.


@willydejoe1234

I haven't checked if UPHClean_Setup.exe is still needed, but I think it's not in SP3. I'm still including it myself.

TC ok .. anyway integrates well ...today new Update for silverligth ... I have not even worked with her

I have a small flaw in the last work ... always apply in installation vistasound pack and always work but also the sound of starting and closing session does not work ... I try to activate it manually and continues throughout Like What? ? .- original windows also have the same problem ... is something strange

I go back to work again with latest version of silverlight (1.0.30401.0)and everything is correct, although I still have the bug sound start and closing sesion (the others if they work) .. everything else works .. no right to install a hotfix in W.U.


Bye


I would like to know if someone else happens this very small problem

I have written my own implementation of the REPLACE source file feature, which skips any hidden, system or files inside directories starting with a dot (unix implementation of hidden files), useful if using HFSLIP with Subversion

New code (line 511):

I think any file processing script should skip hidden and system files by default. I hope this feature can be added to HFSLIP main feauture.

Original:

I can see that there is new final release. Thus I would like to ask TC what are the differences between this final and the last RC (if there are any). Thanks.

Hi,

how do I get the wbemoc.cab?

I notice the Microsoft KB925876 update adds an RunOnce command to uninstall previous Remote Desktop Connection clients. As HFSLIP already handles the Remote Desktop update integration it is probably not necessary to run this command.
What's even worse is that this command is executed for each newly created user account. Something I don't want to happen.

Can you fix this for next release?

@Acheron

HFSLIP no longer replaces mstsc.exe directly. If you can tell me with absolute certainty that old Terminal Services clients aren't installed because of this, and that they aren't installed via another way (registry hives, etc.), I may consider having HFSLIP remove the uninstall command.

By the way... If you're using XP SP3 this shouldn't be a concern as it already comes with TSC 6.0.

But I see your point on this being done for each user account. I'll see if I can relocate the command to HKLM.


@baruse

I just created a new thread in the HFSLIP forum. Hopefully that clears things up.


@SQ5FG

The differences concern Win2K+WMP9, Win2K+WMP9+FDVFILES and Win2K+FDVFILES.

A small question, was User Profile Hive Cleanup Service removed from your SP2 list because it wasn't on SP3? Or was it something else?

Thanks for your support!
Everything is clear now and the first test worked fine.

I normally don't use the RDP client, but while testing KB925876 update mstsc.exe is not replaced by the newer lhmstsc.exe file. This results in that the RDP client fails loading on Windows XP SP2.

fix:

hfslip 1.7.6 changes (line 1980)

BTW KB952155 contains version RDP 6.1. Might be cool if HFSLIP also supports that version

The problem I had with the busted OE6 was due to corrupt source.

Now, everything seems to slipstream properly and nothing busted.

However, when I run MU, I am prompted to up KB 898461. It looks like I am not t the only one reporting this anomaly. I also get one High Priority update which is KB 942763. Putting these two files in the HF folder do nothing. HFSlip does not slipstream/integrate these two updates, and I still be prompted to update these 2 updates.

Attached is my log file.

Windows Update now wants to see KB898461 on XPSP3, yes.

HFSLIP needs to be updated for this because the update doesn't contain SP3 binaries, but I prefer to make it a test release and wait a few days before making it a final in case it's just an error.

What about KB942763? Can I use the pre-SP3 time zone updates you have on the HFSlip site? I never used it, so I am not very sure if I can include it now with SP3.
