So why does the new HFSLIP install itself, and is there a way that it doesn't ????
I used it to slip all post sp3 hotfixes,ie7,wmp11,and all there hotfixes
worked great but in the add/remove control panel HFSLIP is installed

Hi,
See the topic HFSLIP in Add/Remove Programs?

There you will find the answers to your questions:
1) "that is a very good indication that HFSLIP did its job!" (post#2)
2) You have to edit an INF file (post#10)

thanks for that but it really doesn't say what to edit out of the INF file

Goto this key in yr registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream

Personally, I prefer to have it displayed. At least I know this build is HFSLIPED (and thanks to TC for this wonderful utility)

If u just wish to hide the name in Add/remove control panel , change DisplayName to QuietDisplayName

[ripigs]

where is the "DisplayName" located at so i can chane it to "QuietDisplayName"
plus there is 2 lines stating "HKEY....\..\...\HFSLIP.."

Start your registry editor (I'm using Regeditx) and navigate to this key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream) as stated earlier. You rename DisplayName to QuietDisplayName.

Hope that helps

the INF file 'HFSLIPWU' there are two different entries reguarding HfSlip and i dont know what one or both to delete so that it does not show in the add/remove panel

 
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream","DisplayName",0,"HFSLIP Total Slipstream (v1.7.8, build 80614)"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream","UninstallString",0,"CMD /C ECHO>ER.REG REGEDIT4&ECHO>>ER.REG [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream]&REGEDIT /S ER.REG&DEL/Q/F ER.REG" 

i know to edit the first line to make it not visible but i dont want any trace of HfSlip

just wondering why you would not want a trace of HFSLIP when you have used it to begin with?
IMHO, this is a very simple way of being proud with this great tool we use ... an equally simple way of thanking the authors ...
