Thanks fdv.

I'd like to make Windows not check the list.
From here : http://www.d--b.webpark.pl/dreampackpl_en.htm , I need this method:

Do you know of any patcher that uses only this method ?

Hi

SFCFILES.DL_]

Error from T -9 stepped out by file SFCFILES.DL_. I deleted his from FIX.
I use file sfc_os .dl_ only now.

dziubek

It's already added, dziubek. In the script, Tomcat wrote

The /I switch results in a case insensitive comparison. So "y" should work as well as "Y".


Not sure if someone answered your question yet, but to remove the CAT files, you need the modified SFC*.DLL in FIX (of course, use the correct one for your OS). After the multiboot path screen, the script will ask you whether to remove the catalogs.

@Kiki Burgh - Ohhh, I see. We just had a filename mixup. You had "sfc_files.dll ... is not quite well compatible with winXP" but you meant SFC.DLL, not SFCFILES.
SFC.DLL without the word "files" in it is, in fact, for Windows 2000 only, as TP directs. SFCFILES is, after all, only just a list. So nothing to see here

@Camarade_Tux - Damian advocates just SFCFILES replacement. I have corresponded with him in the past and what he is referring to is only SFCFILES being emptied out. Note he says "So WFP is on" in paragraph 3. So, to have WFP off, use a modified SFC.DLL or SFC_OS.DLL and to avoid the OS loading up a list of protected files use also an empty SFCFILES.DLL. In other words, see my post above called the "overkill" method.

@Everybody
Anyway, everybody make sure you've added yourself to the HFSLIP world map.

@Super-Magician

thanks for explanation




@fdv
When I used file sfcfiles.dl_ I had problem in T9 .
It sufficed to alter the name of file on sfc.dl_ problem would pass

@Tomcat (or anyone),

Do you know if any of the hotfixes released today supersede ones previously released?

KB912812 (IE)
KB911562
KB908531
KB911567 (OE)

Also - are you going to be updating your update lists?

The 912812 update supersedes 905915 and 910620 (IE 5.01SP4 only).

The 911567 update supersedes 823353, 887797, and 897715 on 2000 and XP SP1, and 887797 and 900930 on XP SP2.

the other 2 don't replace any updates to my knowledge.

the_guy

@fdv - Can you shed some light on setupapi.dl_? Are these different for all the OSs?

With the latest round of hotfixes, there are some additional files that msft is putting on our systems. One is for the kb908531 update. Why are they forcing additional files on our systems now? Please stand by, I'm sure TC already figured out what's missing, but I sent him some tips on fixing up the script for this. Anyway, the fixes I had were for 2k only. I didn't test for XP.

thanks for these!
pardon me for the confusion ...

may i just know though where i could get the SFC*.DLL that would be compatible with my XPSP2 OS?
would there be anything else that i need to do other than this ... any editing for example?

From a different thread... SFC_OS.DLL

No editing is required. Just drop the file into FIX.


not much other than the DLLs are indeed different. the edits to them are pretty much the same. i was never good with assembly. oleg clued me in to where the edits are, passed on from x-pert. he could tell us more of whats going on.

<shines the secret x-pert signal into the sky>

MS Patch Day... Yuk.

I hope 60412a does the trick.

thanks fdv ... i've already downloaded the said file ... Ü
with this i guess i would not need to put in RVMAddonsSFC_1.0.cab & RVMAddonsSyssetup_1.0.cab?

Hello

testing the latestet build with the april hf, i'm having the following issues :

KB912812
KB911565
KB904942

not installed, here's my WU.txt and hflslip.log.

tested on a Corp Gold->SP2, fully working with the latest official build (06/01/06) and the march HF.

(anyway, any news for the april DX9 updates ?)

setupapi.dl_ is different on all OSs, but patching is the same (yet ) - we just need to find right address. On the internet i saw couple methods for patching setupapi.dl_, but I prefer to stay on 8B FF 55 8B EC -> 33 C0 C2 30 00. If someone wants more info how to find right address in setupapi.dl_ - PM

@EmRoD:

KB912812 should be OK now. I undid the fix for KB912945.

I don't know about KB911565 and KB904942. Nothing was changed in this regard.

I used HFSLIP_60412b.CMD

I have the problem, during the work HFSLIP:

Expanding WindowsXP-KB884883-v8-x86-PLK.exe
TEMP\SP2QFE\comctl32.dll
TEMP\SP2QFE\explorer.exe
The number of copied files: 2.
Or WORK \ I386E \ ASMS defines I will name the file,
if the folder in the target folder
(F = file, D = folder)?

what I have to choose : F or D?

dziubek... 60412c should fix that.

EmRoD, I made a thread/topic for that. Just drop the "Apr2006_d3dx9_30_x86.cab" file into HFCABS, like for the previous DirectX for Managed Code updates.

(Just FYI, nothing will happen if you drop the XInput or XACT cabs into there as they aren't processed by HFSLIP.)

@Tomcat, did you receive the PM I sent you yesterday? It was just regarding the new hotfixes; you can actually disregard it now. I do have another question - will you be updating your update pages? I'd like to have a straight-forward list of what new hotfixes are needed and for which OS they are.

@Super-Magician...

It's gonna take another day or two. I'm drowning in work and barely have the time to update HFSLIP for the new hotfixes...

OK. Take your time !

@Tomcat76
Can not download new version of hfslip: HFSLIP_60412d.7z
Page not found - HTTP 404
Greetings

dziubek, according to the directory listing at http://users.telenet.be/tc76/hfslip/test/, Tomcat has not yet uploaded 60412d. You should probably try again in a few minutes or so.

Here is the link to the previous test release: http://users.telenet.be/tc76/hfslip/test/HFSLIP_60412c.7z

KB911565 continues to fail to install properly, even with the newest test release (60412c).

All other hotfixes are now slipstreamed properly.

[attachment removed]

I'll check it out. I wouldn't know what caused this, though. Nothing was changed there.


HFSLIP_60412d.7z is online now. Forgot to upload it...

Is there a file called kb911565.cat in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK?
What's the version of WMP.DLL in SOURCESS\I386\wmp.dl_? Is it 10.0.0.3990?


Is anyone else having this problem with KB911565?

The file kb911565.cat exists in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK.

The version of WMP.DLL in SOURCESS\I386\WMP.DL_ is 10.0.0.3990.

EmRoD also had a problem with KB911565. Unlike him, I did not have any problem with KB904942.

Does the problem with KB911565 also occur if you don't include the latest updates?

I normally test this thoroughly myself with every SP level but I can't do it before the weekend.

I'm now testing the latest test build thank you all

hi Tomcat76!
i just need to verify of this is correct for a file named xpize.txt?
XPIZESW=/S /norestore /notask
just 1 line inside the txt file?

would this take care of the next buttons already & successfully silently install?
XPize has a prompt for reboot while with still about 10-13 minutes left during OS install when slipstreamed without the txt file in HFTOOLS folder

thanks!

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:

edit:

I used HFSLIP_60412d.CMD

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?
dziubek

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

dziubek

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.
