I'll discuss with TommyP if this will be supported or not. I think it's OK because it's part of the installation CD.
If you want to slipstream it now, follow these steps:
1) create a subfolder named "_EXTERNAL" in your HFSLIP working folder and place KB838079 in there
2) download
HFSLIP_PRE_KB838079.zip and extract it into HFTOOLS
With that done, run HFSLIP like normal.
