HFSLIP 2.0 in the works

[Tomcat76]

Smiley89--

Everything seems to be in place for the Windows Installer 4.5 update. I could only spot a few unnecessary hotfixes but it's not certain that those are the culprit.

WindowsXP-KB949269-x86-ITA.exe [Windows XP doesn't have ADAM]

WindowsXP-KB951978-x86-ITA.exe [only for XPSP3 with IE6 - manual installation is blocked if IE7 is detected]

You could also remove WindowsXP-KB944043-v3-x86-ITA.exe and WindowsXP-KB951830-x86-ITA.exe but I don't see anything out of the ordinary with those so try removing only the other two first.

[Smiley89]

Tried again without KB949269 and KB951978. Apparently, nothing changed: Installer service still doesn't show up. I'll try removing also the other 2 updates.

To further prevent flashing cmd windows the following can be altered:

ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLP!HFSLP!.INF HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","Responder",0x20000,"CMD /C """%%SYSTEMROOT%%\SYSTEM32\rspndr.exe -i""""

into

ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLP!HFSLP!.INF HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","Responder",0x20000,"%%SYSTEMROOT%%\SYSTEM32\rspndr.exe -i"

Also any "cscript" commands to run vbscripts can be changed into "wscript /B".

@Acheron

Well, you know... Those are the commands that are used by Microsoft in the hotfixes. If those are altered, I want to be sure that they still work.

Also, the second command is no longer triggered from HFSLIP.CMD but from HFSLIPOC.INF in HFSLIP 2.0 so the syntax you propose may need to be changed again.

@Smiley89

I don't really know what else could be the problem. I can't duplicate it with an English or a Dutch source.

[Smiley89]

Maybe it's the wrong 7za.exe command-line tool? I downloaded the latest version from the official website.

Yes, that's the reason I post these commands here, so they can be tested. cscript and wscript are using the same engine to process vbscripts. the /B command prevents displaying any messages to the user.

If you want each hotfix processed the Microsoft way you should just stick with using the official /Integrate method. Is that what you want???

UPDATE

I found the last cmd window caused by the User Profile Hive Cleanup tool, not by HFSLIP.

Hi,

I have a list of files only support /Q for silence installation.

However, there is no HFSVCPACK_SW2 folder after I double click the HFSLIP 2.0..

Where should I put those files?

How about for cleartype.exe that supports /S only? where should I put that file?

Thanks.

[Smiley89]

Ok, I've found something that might be helpful.

I tried to slipstream Installer 4.5 with the /integrate switch on a clean SP3 source. I didn't integrate anything else.

Then I tested the resulting ISO on VirtualBox as usual...

And the result is the same! Installer service doesn't show up on the services list.

So the problem it's probably related to the hotfix, not to HFSLIP.

Hope this helps.

One thing I love about HFSLIP is the HIVEINSTALL support. I searched the net about inf commands and there is a lot of information available. I found even this to create custom shortcuts. No need for any batch files. Maybe also hfslip.cmd can be changed into inf format

[Tomcat76]

ctpooon--

You can create the HFSVCPACK_SW2 folder manually. It just isn't created automatically by HFSLIP 2.0 to keep things tidy.

There isn't any provision for executables that only support the /S switch.

Hi TC,

While testing out HFSLIP v2.0 I notced something strange.

The .CMD file I have in the HFSVCPACK folder didn't work.

After looking into it abit more, I found that the .CMD file was on the 'Root' of the partition I was using HFSILP v2.0 on [D:\].

It had no extension and was called 'SVCPACK'

I'm doing another test now, to see if it happens again.

---Edit---

Yep, same thing again.

This time I had a good look at what was going on.

It seems as though the error happens while copying the .CMD file.

Instead of being copied the the '\Sourcess\i386\svcpack' folder it gets copied to the '\' folder and renamed SVCPACK.

Its entry in the 'svcpack.inf' is there and it works great if I copy the .CMD to the '\Sourcess\i386\svcpack' folder by hand.

Maybe a 'Typo' in the script

Thanks. This should be fixed now.

Me again! (Edited from earlier to clarify and with more testing results)

80630a, during gui-mode copy, can't find file RSOP.MOF

With only IE7 and required, like so:

Files in your HF folder:
IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe

Files in your HFCABS folder:
ieaccess.cab
wbemoc.cab

Files in your HFSVCPACK folder:

Files in your HFSVCPACK_SW1 folder:

Files in your HFTOOLS folder:
HFSLIP32_PRE_SWFlash9_v1.zip
modifyPE.exe

Files in your REPLACE folder:

Only one missing file: RSOP.MOF

Compressed version is, of course, in i386. (Verified it's not actually in the $NT.whatever.LS? by interrupting the install after it gave the error).

It is, however, listed in TXTSETUP:

rsopW.chm = 100,,,,,,,21,0,0,rsop.chm
rsopsnpW.chm = 1,,,,,,,21,0,0,rsopsnp.chm
rsop.mfl	 = 1,,,,,,,35,0,0	 
rsop.mof	 = 100,,,,,,,35,0,0	 
rsop.msc	 = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0
rsopprov.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0

I will follow up with my original set of selected patches and missing files.

P.S. I've been using the low-compression "SPX" option, as that seems much faster than the "DRIVER.CAB" option. Any chance that could make a difference?

From your previous replies I just realized network-based installs aren't really supported, or aren't first priority, so double thanks.

(Hmm, I wonder if my boss would approve a donation to you guys?)

Followup:

Going back to my original batch of updates, it's the following that are missing, in the order they are asked for (just a couple seconds after "installing networking":

rsop.mof

wscenter.mof

rsop.mtl

As an aside - since my most pressing need for this is just to get a basic image built to be re-deployed, is there any reason I can't provide these files manually and get on with my life? (Or does problem of these missing files point to there being some other, hidden issues?)

So, though I verfied that said files are there on the HD before the reboot from textmode, burning same files to a CD (well, technically an .iso, as this was a VM for the latest round of testing) and pointing the installer to those worked!?! I wonder if the files are getting deleted on the restart, or perhaps it's a wierd permissions/ownership issue?
