Full Version: I'm having trouble with HFSLIP 1.5

Everytime I try to do an install, Windows hang during the installation process and it's done that five times in a row. Unfortunately I don't have a log for you guys, but I see this error message:

CODE
Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message: The Parameter is incorrect

Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to setup could not be installed. The Parameter is incorrect.


The funny thing is that this problem didn't exist back in the 1.4.x days. I didn't change any of the setup and I just migrated things over to 1.5 and I'm getting these problems!

It could also be a new or revised hotfix containing ASMS files (corrupt or simply buggy), or a CD that isn't burned correctly. Make sure you allow path depths beyond the specification when burning a CD; a Windows source breaks the standard spec.

I was getting that same error. If I recall, I either had to copy my source over again due to corruption or it had to do with addon files I was using.

Ok, I'm using a older version of HFSLIP and for some odd reason now, the ISO isn't being created. Can you tell me why that is the case? Here's the log and I'll get back to you on the HF 1.5 issue later. Also, I have BBIE and CDIMAGE in the HFtools directory and in the past eveything worked. Now it doesn't for some odd reason.

Is your Windows CD in your CD/DVD-ROM drive while running HFSLIP? This is necessary if you don't have BOOT.BIN.
CharlyBrown
Hello!

I have the exact same problem that sgt Stryder has when I try to install WinXP from CD on my dual Opteron based machine. In German it looks like this:
CODE
Fehler:
Installation Failed : D:\I386\asms. Error Message: Unzulässige Funktion.

***

Schwerwiegender Fehler:
Eine der für die Installation benötigten Komponenten konnte nicht installiert werden.

Unzulässige Funktion.

***


This does not happen when I try to install from a network source in our company (completely different hardware and no installation from CD).
I already tried to remove ALL updates, WMP11, IE7 and the winnt.sif but it does not change anything.

Attached two HFSLIP.log files in one ZIP: One with "nothing" integrated and one with WMP11, IE7 and patches. Both "integrations" cause the same error.

Maybe this might help: Compared to the source I use in our company I already added a SATA driver (SI3114.sys). This is a "known good" driver integration that I used several times. I also tried to do a test installation with this original WinXP SP2 source + Si3114 driver and it worked perfect.
After I used this source with HFSLIP it failed with the errormessage from above.
Tomcat76
There is one thing I don't understand. Are you including the SATA driver with your "minimal" setup too?
CharlyBrown
The SATA-drivers are manually integrated. I have a $OEM$ folder with several subfolders that contain the SI3114 drivers and a file named si3114.sys is located in the I386 directory. Some lines are added in the txtsetup.sif as well.
That's all that is changed compared to the original WinXP SP2 CD.
Tomcat76
I'd like to have a look at HFANSWER.INI, and TXTSETUP.SIF from SOURCE and SOURCESS (to compare). Preferably those from the minimal setup.
CharlyBrown
The files are attached. I'll try an installation with a PATA IDE drive just to check if this is causing the problems.

------------------

Edit: Using the same CD did not change anything when I tried to install on the PATA-drive. Then I used an older CD that has been created with HFSLIP 70506: It worked but IE was not integrated as it should have been. No I am building a new CD with the brand new test release. I'll report back.
Tomcat76
TXTSETUP.SIF is fine. This is a funny issue.

I wonder if the problem still occurs if you don't merge the driver cabs (DRIVERCOMP=D).

Are the ASMS folders in SOURCE and SOURCESS identical in size?
CharlyBrown
Hi!

No, the ASMS in SOURCESS is bigger.

SOURCE\i386\ASMS:
54 files, 60 folders, 7.761.210 Bytes

SOURCESS\i386\ASMS:
65 files, 63 folders, 11.339.921 Bytes


I'll try a drivercomp=D later...
Tomcat76
Given what you just wrote, I don't think it will be necessary to test with DRIVERCOMP=D. It's clear the problem lies with the ASMS folder.

I wonder where those extra ASMS files are coming from. You are only including two cab files in HFCABS.
Tomcat76
OK. Please download the attached ZIP file and expand it to your main HFSLIP working folder. Run get_asms.cmd; it will compare both ASMS folders and output the new files with a relative path into ASMS_NEW.TXT (compressed into ASMS.CAB). Can you attach the cab with your next post?
CharlyBrown
DRIVERCOMP=D works! No ASMS-Error-Message!

But IE7 is not integrated. *sigh* Still IE6.

---------

Three cabs: iuctl.cab, muweb_site.cab and branding.cab (ok, the last one is almost empty...)

ASMS.CAB attached.
Tomcat76
Your posts are confusing. It looks like you're working with a full HF folder again. If so, please use the minimal setup again. I can't help you if you change things without telling me.
CharlyBrown
Sorry... too many tests.

I'll prepare the "minimal setup" files and post the ASMS.CAB.
So the next run does not inculde any patches, no IE7, no dotnet and no WMP11. Branding.cab is removed and HFANSWERES.INI is corrected to "IE7SVCPACK=" (instead of "IE7SVCPACK=1" with IE7) and DRIVERCOMP=A.

Nevertheless the installation worked with drivercomp=d.

---------------------------

EDIT: The results...
ASMS folders are equal in size, number of files and number of folders. They are identical. The ASMS.cab contains just an empty txt-file (see attachment). I also added the hfslip.log and the HFANSWERS.INI. Just to confirm the errors mentioned above I'll try to install from this source.
Tomcat76
Let me know how it goes. If it doesn't work, I'd like to compare DRVINDEX.INF from the SOURCE and SOURCESS folders.
CharlyBrown
blink.gif wacko.gif This is driving me nuts.
The installation works! No ASMS-error anymore.

What should I try next?
Tomcat76
A full source without KB923191. I think that's the most logical step...
CharlyBrown
I did it and it failed. The ASMS-folder-error again.

What I did:
HF: All needed patches until today (removed the replaced patches and I removed KB923191 as you said), IE7, WMP11.
HFCABS: BRANDING.CAB, IEAWSDC.cab, iuctl.cab, MuCatalogWebControl.cab, MUWEB_SITE.CAB (I downloaded it today and it is a little bit larger than the file I used until now.), OGAControl.cab, OPUC4.cab.
HFSVCPACK: dotnet2.exe
HFTOOLS: I changed the hfanswers.inf to IE7SVCPACK=1

Attachment: HFSLIP.log as RAR file.


What should I do next?
Tomcat76
OK. I'm going to take a closer look at your list.

Meanwhile, can you tell me if the following three files exist in your original source (SOURCE folder)?

I386\ASMS\60\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\comctl32.dll
I386\ASMS\60\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\controls.cat
I386\ASMS\60\POLICY\60\COMCTL\comctl.cat
Tomcat76
No problems with the list. The last thing I can do is compare DRVINDEX.INF from SOURCE and SOURCESS since you mentioned that the problem went away if using DRIVERCOMP=D.
CharlyBrown

The files are there but with an underscore at the end:
comctl32.dl_
controls.ca_
comctl.ca_

(they are also available in SOURCESS)
----------

Attached: DRVINDEX.INF files from SOURCE and from SOURCESS.

-------------------

Edit: I'll do a new build with DRIVERCOMP=D but without any other changes...
Tomcat76
Strange that you have compressed files in your original ASMS folder. There was a time when HFSLIP compressed new ASMS files in the new source but people were complaining that this caused Windows setup to fail so we stopped compressing ASMS files. I guess I could have HFSLIP compress updated ASMS files if they are compressed in the old source.

Your DRVINDEX.INF files only show that there's something weird going on with your system. The following files are missing after merging the driver cabs:
okml3320.gpd
okml3321.gpd
okml332x.gpd
okml9res.dll

I strongly suggest that you run a chkdsk /r on the partition from which you run HFSLIP as well as your system drive, and pay special attention to the names of the files which are "repaired". If any hotfixes are shown, they should be redownloaded. After that, also delete the SOURCE folder and copy your CD again.
CharlyBrown
CHKDSK /r on the partition that contains the HFSLIP folder: 0 errors.

I did a run with DRIVERCOMP=D and everything included: It FAILED! The same ASMS-error as before. So drivercomp=d did only seem to help because it was a "minimal" configuration that works with drivercomp=A as well.
Tomcat76
Try test release 70627a. It should fix the ASMS problem that I saw in the ASMS.CAB report.

For the rest I'm still in the dark...
CharlyBrown
New build: :-( ASMS-Error.

I'll do some strange builds just for testing purposes... something like: "only IE7" ... "IE7 + WMP11" ... "some but not all patches" etc.

*g* *sigh* Why can't this just work on my System? I need that system soon but want to have it installed this way.

----
I tried to integrate IE7, IE-patches, dotnet2 and WindowsUpdateAgent30.
CODE
Files in your HF folder:
IE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-deu.exe
IE7-WindowsXP-KB933566-x86-DEU.exe
IE7-WindowsXP-x86-deu.exe
WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

Files in your HFCABS folder:
iuctl.cab
MUWEB_SITE.CAB

Files in your HFSVCPACK folder:
dotnet2.exe

It failed.

Tomorrow I'll try it without IE7. I hope that it is one of these (maybe dotnet2.exe?) that causes the error. If I can find the reason we may be able to solve it. I'll keep you up to date.

-------------------------

EDIT:
I tried the same updates + 928255 and IE7SLIPSTREAM=1 (instead of IE7SVCPACK=1), just to get sure that it is not the way how I integrate IE7. The installation failed as ususal (ASMS....).
Next build is already running: Removed IE7 and 928255 that was just added for the IE7SLIPSTREAM-test. Still remaining: dotnet2.exe from Ryan and Windows Update Agent 3.0. If this build fails I'll remove dotnet2.exe. Somehow I feel that it might be the dotnet2.exe.

-------------------------

EDIT2:
No IE7 but dotnet2.exe and Windows Update Agent => ASMS-error

Next: Without dotnet2.exe; Windows Update Agent 3.0 only.
If this will work I'll add everything except dotnet2.exe. If it fails I'll remove the WinUpdateAgent3.0 and add IE.
Tomcat76
I highly doubt this could have something to do with it, but can you try renaming "L:\WIN-CD" to "L:\WINCD"? Remove the hyphen.
CharlyBrown
I moved the whole HFSLIP folder from \WIN-CD\HFSLIP to \HFSLIP.
I also added ALL patches, WMP11, IE7 and all cabs. I adjusted the afanswer.ini to install IE7 at T-13, drivercomp=A...

NO ASMS-ERROR thumbup.gif

BUT: IE7 is not integrated. During the setup the IE7 installer has been started but after the installation there is only IE6. I also tried to start the IE7-installer exe from the i386\svcpack manually but it did not install IE7. It opens a dos box, does something for a few seconds and disappears.
Tomcat76
The modified IE7 installer that is placed in I386\SVCPACK is a quiet installer (using /quiet switch) as opposed to the first GUI logon installer (using /passive switch). I suppose you waited a while after double-clicking IE7_INST.EXE to make sure it's installed, and then rebooted.

Can you expand IE7_INST.EXE and show what's inside SETUP.CMD?

The modified IE7 installer that is placed in I386\SVCPACK is a quiet installer (using /quiet switch) as opposed to the first GUI logon installer (using /passive switch). I suppose you waited a while after double-clicking IE7_INST.EXE to make sure it's installed, and then rebooted.

Can you expand IE7_INST.EXE and show what's inside SETUP.CMD?

I waited but nothing happend. I rebooted the system because I expected IE7 to be installed in the background but after the reboot IE7 was still missing.

I'll expand it and attach the setup.cmd on Saturday or Sunday.

Here we go...
CODE
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID
MD update
EXPAND UPDATE.CAB -F:* update >NUL
update\iesetup.exe /quiet /norestart /update-no /nobackup
EXIT

The ASMS-ERROR is back! confused.gif

I build a new ISO with some additional drivers, the new roots-update and the new Intel-CPU patch and the ASMS-Error is back again.

Edit: For the next try I'll install a secondary IDE harddrive and move the HFSLIP-folder there.
I may also try to use a different CD-RW. That one that I still use has been rewritten quite often during all these tests.

Well... I kind of figured it would return.

I did one HFSLIP run and renamed the SOURCESS folder to SOURCESS_OLD.
Then I renamed the root folder from "slippin" to "slippin-xp" and ran HFSLIP again. Both SOURCESS folders were identical.
Then I renamed the root folder to "WIN-CD" (just like you had). New SOURCESS folder was also identical.

That was about three hours ago. I now made an ISO from the latest SOURCESS folder and am installing from it. It's past "Installing drivers" and I didn't get an ASMS error. So I guess the hyphen wasn't the problem.

I'm interested in what happens if you use the different hard drive.

SETUP.CMD is OK. You could maybe remove the entire CMDOW line and insert PAUSE above the EXIT command; then run SETUP.CMD. Maybe you'll see an error message that could be of use.

I used a new CD-RW media at first: It did not change anything. The next I'll try is the harddrive. I'll report back.

*sigh* I did not save the functional sourcess or ISO. :-/ But I found out something funny: The ASMS-Error happens somewhere at T-39. When I reboot and insert any other functional build the Installation finishes successfully!
So it's something on the CD but nothing that has already been copied to the harddrive.

------------------

I did the test:
A different harddrive + new CD-RW => ASMS-Error. :-(

------------------

Edit2:
I'll move everything to my laptop and try to run HFSLIP there. I have an idea what may be the reason for the problem. I'll report back in approximately 12 to 14 hours.

------------------

Edit3:
I did several new HFSLIP runs but all failed.
At first I tried to disable background tasks (Virus scanner, ZoneAlarm, etc) on my main System and ran HFSLIP. The ASMS-Error occured.
Then I moved the whole HFSLIP folder to my Notebook and started a new build with identical setting there. The ASMS-Error occured as well.
Now I removed the newest two patches that I added (rootsupd... and KB936357) and the branding.cab and tried a new build: Once again the ASMS-Error.

Du you still have HFSLIP v70506 (or any pre-1.5.0) anywhere? A build with that version does work but I don't have it anymore.
CharlyBrown
I also tried the latest release 70701a but still no luck for me. no.gif

Could you please check the LOGs once more? Is there a patch that can not be integrated and is known to cause Problems?
Tomcat76
Here is version 1.4.5.

Here are previous test releases (mostly between 1.4.5 and 1.5.0).

If the error occurs on different systems it can only be an HFSLIP problem, a corrupt source problem (which would imply your install CD is damaged) or corrupt hotfixes. Have you tried burning the hotfixes you have in your HF folder at work onto a CD and using those at home?
CharlyBrown
Actually I burned the whole HFSLIP-folder to a DVD and use it from the very first try. But I started my builds @home with 1.5.0. I just have an "older" build with v70506 that I finished in our company.

Don't lough but right now I did a strange "trick" to force the installation to pass the ASMS-Error:
I used the latest build you can see in the newest log file and waited for the ASMS-error. Then I replaced the installation CD with the older (v70506) build and rebooted. The setup continued at that position. Right after the CD-access I replaced the CD again with the fresh build.

Result: IE7 is integrated (REALLY integrated!) not installed at T-13 with SVCPACK, that did not work doing it this way, WMP11 is integrated, patches seem to be integrated (have to check it), ... My "branding.cab" did not work. In our company I just gave up to use the branding.cab-file and added all needed information to a REG-file that does the trick perfect. I'll try the same here later (low priority because I use Firefox all the time).
So far so good - but at the first boot I get an error message that says something weired about "msoobe.exe". Low Priority because it may be ASMS-error-related as well. The ASMS has to be fixed first.

The one working build (when I thought that it was the hyphen in the folder) was made from the same source and the same patches. I already tested that anyone of the patches is enough to cause the ASMS-error to appear. I am a little bit helpless right now.

Next to try: I'll use the 1.4.5 and/or the test release and report back... Tomorrow... Have to get some sleep now. wacko.gif
