joaco, I think you still have to edit SFX-MSD.ini as stated in point 3 of the Issue 02 section. Good news are that you have the URLs you need in MSDownloads.ul file inside MSDownloadsESN.ulz

Suerte.

The Office Genuine Advantage Notifications (KB949810) published: 8/25/2009 is showing up on the Microsoft Update site. I updated my copy of the MSDownloads.ulz, and recreated my msdownloads.exe by using the MSBuild.cmd. However, after I ran the msdownloads.exe, the Microsoft Update site still showed that I needed the update.

I installed the update using the Microsoft Update site, and then checked the install log file located at C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log and discovered that it had downloaded a file from http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...2e3c11d03d0.cab.

The updater then renamed the file to OGANotifier.cab, and extracted OGANotifier.msi from it.

Then it ran the OGANotifier.msi using the following command and switches: OGANotifier.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS.

I copied the file to another computer (that also required the update) and using the same command and switches installed it manually. I then checked the Microsoft Update site, and the update was no longer required, having been successfully installed.

The version of the OGANotifier.msi is 2.0.0048.0

I am going to add it temporarily to my install script, pending further direction from Darkshadow or others.

I also noticed the message on the Microsoft Office Update site that, as of August 1, 2009, Microsoft discontinued support for Office Update. To continue getting the latest updates for Microsoft Office products, use Microsoft Update.

Are there files that were required for the Office Update site, that are no longer necessary, and can be removed from the msdownloads.exe, such as the Office Update icon?

[strel]

As long as office update will not be up to date would be a good idea.

I've analyzed your MSDBuild.cmd batch script and noticed that on the script's OS checking (:winver), Windows 7 is version 7.* while it is version 6.1 and Vista is version 6.* which means that even if you're using Windows 7, it will say that you're using Windows Vista.

Also, when I don't want to include some components to be built like Office Update, and ran MSDBuild.exe, it still finds these components and show an error and exit.

Hi

I would like to integrate the ActiveX plugin for MS Catalog in my unattended Dutch XP Prof SP3 installation disc.
Already got the MS Update plugin integrated with the help of nLite, don't remember from where I got the plugin btw, been a while since I integrated it...

The MS Update plugin works, but I can't seem to succesfully integrate the MS Catalog plugin.

Got 2 cabfiles with that plugin, MuCatalogWebControl.cab and MicrosoftUpdateCatalog_Addon.cab.
Both same size (71kB), but the 1st one has the MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.dll in it + inf, the other entries_MicrosoftUpdateCatalog.ini, mcu.dl_ and MCU.in_.
The 1st one can't be integrated, nLite says unsupported file, the other causes framedyn.dll not found errors.

While typing I tried installing it with
start /wait %SystemRoot%\System32\Rundll32.EXE %cdrom%\Install\Resterende_updates\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.inf
Doesn't work either. No errors, IE just keeps asking if I trust the plugin and want to run it...

Any idea's?

Ps, that program from the startpost (WUD) doesn't display any of the ActiveX plugins.
Ps2, the Microsoft Update, How to integrate it - ways to do it link from startpost doesn't work.

edit:
after looking more closely & try some stuff, I found out that the dll for that plugin was already integrated in my installation disc, however, still had to activate it after the message I got I mentioned earlier in this post....
But no longer
I let the program RegShot do it's thing, activated the plugin, let RegShot do it's thing again and then let RegShot compare the two snapshots.
Seems this key was the sollution:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{5AE58FCF-6F6A-49B2-B064-02492C66E3F4}\iexplore\AllowedDomains\microsoft.com]

So solved now

Now to figure out how to create the link. Thought it would be similar with the MS Update link, guess it's not.

Your English is fine. As strel mentioned (and I quote him below), follow the guide directions to edit a custom SFX-MSD.ini file (the file is documented internally). The MSDownloadsESN.ulz file, provided by Hippo Loco, should address all Spanish-related download urls. Hippo Loco also posted some notes earlier in this thread that you might want to read.

However, after I ran the msdownloads.exe, the Microsoft Update site still showed that I needed the update.

MSDBuild.cmd doesn't know about, or care about, Office Genuine Advantage Notifications, which is relatively new. This update is similar to KB905474 Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications. OGAN, like WGAN, is not really required to run your software or to run Microsoft Update. However, I'll bet it might contain a version of OGACheckControl.dll, just Like WGAN contains a version of legitcheckcontrol.dll. In any circumstance, Microsoft Update will list this update until you either hide it or install it.

I'm not planning to update this guide for OGAN (at least not yet) since Office Update is now handled by Microsoft Update. I also view the Office Genuine Advantage Notifications more as part of Microsoft Office installation, rather than as part of Windows XP installation. I'm not sure if installing OGAN without MS Office already installed on the PC will work or not.

Thanks for reporting your findings it will help in my research when I get around to it. I'm job hunting right now.

I will be removing them from MSDBuild very shortly.

The MSDBuild.cmd script really only cares about WinVer=XP. But still, it's a good catch and I'll fix it shortly. Thanks for reporting it.

That is because you must still download everything (at least until I strip Office Update out of MSDBuild). For now, if you don't want Office shortcuts, all you need to do is customize SFX-MSD.ini, which is documented internally. In the next MSDBuild version, the Office Update shortcut will not be created, since the web site is now discontinued.

So solved now

Now to figure out how to create the link. Thought it would be similar with the MS Update link, guess it's not.

• I do not use nLite, nor do I support nLite or any other integration software. Therefore, you need to ask nLite-specific questions in the correct forum. However, by now I'm sure someone over there has read this guide and can tell you how to incorporate what is discussed here in a nlited way.
  
  
  
• WUD most certainly displays all the ActiveX plugins discussed in my guide, which includes MuCatalogWebControl.cab. However, you must import my MSDownloads.ulz list as instructed in my guide before it will list these. There is a WUD screen grab in the first post of this thread that lists the ActiveX controls, including Microsoft Update Catalog Web Control Class (ActiveX), which is what MuCatalogWebControl.cab is.
  
  
  
• If you actually had read my guide, then you will know what MuCatalogWebControl.cab is, what files are inside of it, and where to put it in order for MSDBuild to package it for you inside of MSDownloads.exe. But it sounds like you haven't even read my guide.
  
  
  
• I cannot speak to MicrosoftUpdateCatalog_Addon.cab. That doesn't sound like a file from Microsoft. Post a download URL for this file and I'll take a look when I get a chance.
  
  
  
• Try reading my guide again, and pay attention to Issue-02 since you are working in Dutch. Start as if you were going to builld for English but replace my English files with Dutch ones. MSDBuild should be able to handle it. At least it worked that way for Spanish.

[bartgrefte]

1. Okay, then I'll wont ask here anymore.

2. It does not, and yes I imported that file.

3. Which I did, but then I might have missed something.

4. Don't remember where I got it, but added it as an attachment to this post.

5. Then I'll try again, since there is a newer Catalog ActiveX that I want to integrate.
Went from version 7.0.6000.569 to 7.4.7057.223, already got the cab with the inf and dll, also added to this post, if necessary.

Attached File(s)

•  MicrosoftUpdateCatalog_Addon.cab (70.77K)
  Number of downloads: 30
•  MuCatalogWebControl.cab (69.25K)
  Number of downloads: 33

Hi DarkShadows, no time long see.

I started building and testing another xp unattended installation + your msdownloads.exe in vmware.
I ran Windows Update from IE8 and it goes to WU instead of Microsoft Update. That's not all. It still asks for WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe (activex) and KB898461 installation. I don't get it. It used to work just fine. I guess I'll have to add those registry keys manually.

English language installation with default settings.

DarkShadows

You might be kind and upload the link pointing to WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe. WU now requires wsus3setup.inf and related files version 7.4.7600.226 not 7.2.6001.788. Wuredist.xml links weren't updated (still pointing to 7.2.6001.788) and consequently the only way to get these files are via WU. I thought of changing the version number within the original link for WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe, that I got from WindowsUpdate.log, from 7.2.6001.788 to 7.4.7600.226 and it worked.

Here are the NEW links, x86 and x64 versions.

NEW Windows Update Agent 3 x86 !!! MS LINK

NEW Windows Update Agent 3 x64 !!! MS LINK


And here's  MSDownloads.ulz (3.51K)
Number of downloads: 62 with the link updated. You can just double click it and it will be added to Windows Updates Downloader.

ENJOY !

Is there a newer version of InstMUWC.inf to install Microsoft Update?

This inf seems to be based on an older version (7,2,6001,788) of MU.
The current version is ( 7.4.7600.226 ) Also there are some additional
files that are not being considered by the inf. For Microsoft Update I
have the following files in system32:

mucltui .dll
mucltui.dll.mui
muweb .dll

Thanks ...

Use the above *.ulz file I posted. It will not show anything in MU or WU. You don't need to edit the inf file.

edit: It seems that InstMUWC.inf is updated during msdbuild.exe creation with the actual file version taken from the files by GetFileVer.vbs.

This is what it is written in my InstMUWC.inf:

UpdateFileVer = "0.0.0.0"
InstallVer = "7,4,7600,226"

As I said use the latest Windows Update Agent 3 x86 as it will update all of the files including those you mentioned: mucltui.dll, mucltui.dll.mui, muweb.dll. Download my *ulz file or download the standalone file and place it in the project folder.

You have to install the Windows Update agent 3.0 before running MSDownloads.exe. That it is done by svcpack.inf method at T-13 during installation.

If you folks notice, this is the exact same link I provide in my guide. It's a static link--it doesn't change between ActiveX control versions. You just have to wait until Microsoft updates the download behind the static link.

Put it in a regular archive or whatever

Please need some help
it is really doing my head in
