@schakan

Can you please test again?

Cheers

Feedback for Beta 3:

- The Slipstreaming was very smooth and succesful except that ChainedInstall didn't succedd. No trace att all on screen or in log. The log is attached. I also got one popup per hotfix ("Do you want to run this file") but maybe this is your intention.
- Created new .MST file with the output from the slipstreaming; No problem.
- Re-installed Office (Unattended installation); No problem.

All together it ran very smooth with my setup.

Thanks you for testing. Can you please explain few stuffs? Is adding Chained Installation successful in Office Slipstreamer but nothing is installed after Office installation? Can you upload your .ini file from FILES/SETUP from installation where chained installation does not work? And what about this pop-up's. Can you do one more slipstream and take a screen shoot of that pop-up? Thanks.

Cheers

EDIT: Also, did you test your installation with Windows Update? Does any update appear?

To me it looked as the ChainedInstalled failed because I couldn't see anything of it. Nothing on the screen or in the log. When the slipstreaming was finished the path to the patch was still filled in the ChainedInstall pane. For SP3 and hotfixes the paths was blanked. After the Office re-install I ran the patch manually with no complains that it was already applied. As you can see in the attached log file there is an entry for ChainedInstall.

Document with the popup is attached.

Another thing that I noticed before: No registry entries have been added for the hotfixes. At least not in the regular place: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\hotfix

Thanks for the explaining. Now, this thing with pop-ups is where strange and it was not my intention. This does not show for me when slipstreaming. Did this happen with any previous version? Also this can be because Windows XP protection. Open Properties of every hotfix and see if there is button "Unblock". If button exist click on it. And, I'm investigating this chained install thing. It seems that problem exist, I just need to find why is happening. Regular Place for hotfixes for English Language is

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\9040110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches

and for your it should be here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\d140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches

Cheers

Yes, the reason for the popups was that the hotfixes was "Blocked". After Unblock of all hotfixes I got no popups.

Also the ChainedInstall patch was Blocked but after unblock the result is the same; Not integrated.

Sorry for misleading you about the registry entries; I wrote wrong. But note that the entries are still missing.

Cheers

Did you entered LCID Hex for your language before starting slipstream. Can you upload for me hotfixes.reg from FILE/SETUP. And is your Windows on Swedish too (or you used MUI pack to get Swedish language for XP. If this is true, then original language of your XP is english, right?)? I'm sorry for bothering you, but I need your help to solve this problems.

[Lions]

Hi mara-,

here is my feedback for beta 3 (no good news....):

1) Windows Installer window NOT hidden: "Preparing setup...", "Wait...".
Windows appear for each slipstreamed update....

2) Slipstream process blocked at KB945432 with the following message:

"AutoIt Error

Line -1:
Error: Unable to execute the external program."

3) Pop-ups which refers schakan probably are Windows XP "File Execution Protection" messages (I also have them, but they are not a Slipstreamer problem).

Here is my log.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Lions.

For me, KB945432 works fine. Can you please try once more, so we can check if always fail on that update?

And I know about Windows Installer windows, I forgot again to hide it.

Cheers

[schakan]

Yes, LCID 1053 was entered.
Both Windows and Office are Swedish editions, MUI is not used.

It is nice to assist you, no problem.

Hotfixes.reg is attached.

@schakan

Thanks for helping, but you entered wrong value. You need to enter LCID Hex value, NOT LCID Dec. So correct value for your language is 041d.

Cheers

[Lions]

Good news.

Tested Slipstreamer three more times, and everything went OK!!!

Sorry for the unintentional (and strange...) false alarm.

Now I'm going to try a new Office (unattended) installation to see if WU is happy or not.

Bye

[schakan]

Ok. Thought 1053 was in hex actually.
Thanks

[mara-]

Thank you both for helping.

@Lions

I'm not 100% sure but I think I know what caused that crash. I'll try to do something to prevent that. Also, I hope you used correct LCID Hex, which is 0410 for your language. Also, please post your results with WU/MU when you finish testings.

Cheers

[Lions]

No mistake with LCID Hex, I used 0410.

Testings results:

1) After installing Office 2003 (unattended) on a fresh new Win2K SP4 fully updated installation, MU-WU gave me these results:

HIGH PRIORITY UPDATES:

- KB943649 (OLKINTL)
- KB943452 (FORMMAN20ENU) (damned.....)
- KB912440 (Office2K3 Alternative User Input: for W2K SP4 only, not a Slipstreamer problem).

2) for KB943452 there is also a mistake in Reg informations: "DisplayName"="Actualización critica de office 2003: KB943452: FORMMAN20ENU", string in Spanish instead of Italian or English (but I'm sure this is not the reason of the WU reporting, because I tried to replace the string with the correct one, and even after a reboot the WU result is the same....)

If it can be helpful to you, I am attaching the Reg file extracted from the new installation.

Good weekend, see you Monday

Lions, I just done fresh slipstream with all available hotfixes, and KB943649 does not show on WU/MU. I can not test KB943452 because my Office is not affected. Only what you can do is install that updates from WU/MU and export for me only registry info for those two updates so I can see is there any difference between my database and those your''ll export. And I know about "DisplayName" in KB943452, but that is not a problem.

Cheers

Hi, mara-,

I made the updates from WU, and the only differences that I found are:

for KB943649 (OLKINTL), the Reg key name in your database is:
.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\3DC50BAEE72B76844A4DB2658F66C653

the correct one for Italian patch is:
.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\0CCB7EFDEE8730C4C90D94DD483EAD0A


for KB943452 (FORMMAN20ENU), theReg key name in your database is:
.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\F6900B7701894B74297DE043C1A5E5EC

the correct one for Italian patch is:
.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\B89354602EA16E44396B47B57AC119D5


You can also compare the reg key names with with those contained in the Reg file attached in my previous post (#102) (office2003_Italian.reg).
