First, thanks for HFSLIP 1.79 beta. Win2K works perfectly. However, for XP and HFSLIP 1.79, Windows media KB952069 hotfix is still showing up in WU for me. I extracted the hotfix, and each WMxx folder contains the files logagent.exe, wmnetngr.dll, and wmvcore.dll which are all v. 9.0.0.4504 for WM9. The files in my sourcess\i386 folder are v. 9.0.0.4503. I compressed the files from the hotfix with makecab, put them in my replace\i386 folder, and ran it again. No complaints from WU now. I can see the hotfix being extracted during the HFSLIP run but the files are not copied or are overwritten somehow. It also works placing the hotfix in the hfsvcpack_sw1 folder.

Feel like running a test? Open the script with your favorite text editor, locate line #1368. Type REM in the beginning of the line. Save the file and re-run the script. Make sure you save it as a CMD file.

I added REM to line 1368 and ran HFLSIP. Files in sourcess\i386 are still 9.0.0.4503. I paid close attention the the extraction of the hotfix and discovered that HFSLIP is extracting the files from the folder "mceur2" which are version 10.0.0.4362. WTF is mceur2? Here is a table of all the files from the hotfix from the MS bulletin at http://support.micro...om/?kbid=952069.

Windows Media Format Runtime 9.0, Windows Media Format Runtime 9.5, 
and Windows Media Format Runtime 11 for Windows XP Service Pack 3

Folder name	File name			File version	File size			Date			   Time	Platform
				Logagent.exe	10.0.0.4362	96,768		11-Jun-2008	07:47	x86
mceur2		Wmnetmgr.dll	10.0.0.4362	988,672		11-Jun-2008	07:58	x86
				Wmvcore.dll	10.0.0.4362	2,330,624			11-Jun-2008	07:58	x86

				Logagent.exe	10.0.0.3703	96,768		10-Jun-2008	14:17	x86
wm10		Wmnetmgr.dll	10.0.0.3703	1,026,048			10-Jun-2008	16:37	x86
				Wmvcore.dll	10.0.0.3703	2,364,472			10-Jun-2008	16:57	x86

				Logagent.exe	10.0.0.4066	96,768		10-Jun-2008	10:52	x86
wm10l		Wmnetmgr.dll	10.0.0.4066	1,028,096			10-Jun-2008	11:28	x86
				Wmvcore.dll	10.0.0.4066	2,376,760			10-Jun-2008	12:07	x86

				Logagent.exe	11.0.5721.5251	100,864		18-Jun-2008	06:09	x86
wm11		Wmnetmgr.dll	11.0.5721.5251	938,496		18-Jun-2008	10:03	x86
				Wmvcore.dll	11.0.5721.5251	2,458,112			18-Jun-2008	10:03	x86

				Logagent.exe	9.0.0.4504 	103,936		10-Jun-2008	08:11	x86
wm9				Wmnetmgr.dll	9.0.0.4504 	1,053,696			10-Jun-2008	11:11	x86
				Wmvcore.dll	9.0.0.4504 	2,174,976			07-Nov-2008	21:45	x86

How does HFSLIP know which ones to extract? It would appear that for my purposes it should have used the wm9 files. Can HFSLIP be coded to use the correct files for a particular build? This looks like a real pita to fix.

Edit: Sorry I can't seem to get a table of data lined up right.

HFslip 1.7.9 is still beta... pls be patience for tommyp to fix these issues. As far as I know, he don't use XP. He's on W2k. (I hope I'm right). So it may takes a little while to fix...

Suggest keep testing /reporting the beta version while still using 1.7.8 as the main script

[krose]

Oh I am in no hurry for a fix. I realize the effort HFLSIP takes. I have one box with a quad so I need to use XP or I would be using Win2k on it too. I will just use the replace folder for now and if there is a fix, fine; if not, the replace method works too.

[tommyp]

krose - Geej is 100% correct, I use w2k and would go to linux before going to XP or Vista. The problem lies in that the folder name structure of this hotfix is different than the traditional WMP updates. Pls advise if this version works fine for you. I'll post the same on the beta thread once you report back.

edit - see beta thread for zip file.

I am happy to report that with 1.79_ beta_c the file versions in sourcess\i386 are now 9.0.0.4504. May I ask what code you changed to achieve this? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[roadrunner64]

Tommyp, I also tested the 1.79_ beta_c file out and successfully installed the KB952069 update as i had the same issue as krose. Now its all fixed and again no updates after my test!
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

[tommyp]

Glad it worked out for you guys. The code that was changed/added is documented. Search in the text for 12/23 and you'll see the two (or more) lines of code added/modded.
