Nlite breaks if Silent .NET Maker package is added to it as an addon (.7z). I hope you'll sort it out.

atolica, I couldn't recreate this error in the test I made with a fresh new addon. I think is very improbable this is really failing. Check it again or give more data to recreate it.

Are you integrating the addon solely or alongside other hotfixes? Mine breaks if I add it last after 56 or so hotfixes. I'll try again integrating just the addon.

[strel]

Only 1 add-on.

Hi Strel,
Problem with 1.1 addon : the language pack for 1.1 (localized) is still requested by M$ update. Tests done with All Framework merged addon.
Moreover, this lang pack isn't present in installed programs list.
What about it ?
Thx for your work.

Hello strel.
Windows Update still request the localizated version of .NET Framework 1.1 and langpack.
In installed program list .NET 1.1 is present but with no langpack.
The language is brazilian portuguese.

Thanks for your hard work in SNM.

Another detail about .Net 3.0 : installs uiautomationcore.dll ver. 6.0.6001.17014. But I use an update pack which contains KB971513 (uiautomationcore.dll version 7.0.2600.5884).
After integration and installation, it seems to keep 7.0.2600.5884 in spite of .Net Addon and his old version of this file.

@geromichi & strel,
I'll probably use uiautomationcore.dll and .mui from Vista(WinSrv2008)-KB971513. Why I don't that file from XP is because it breaks it's multi-lingual support, coming with built-in language resources. But I havn't done tests yet.

@strel,
in my test of SNMsynth, KB958484 doesn't have its files updated in .NET 3.5(files are still with build number 1), but entries are present in vs_setup.msi. I think you may applies *.msp earlier than NET35SLIMDOWN.mst.

there are still other improvements that could be made, I'm not at home so I'll write later.

As of 7-zip 9.07, you must specify the type during extraction of executable files. Otherwise it will extract each individual resource and binary section. I already put in a suggestion to make that action switch-activated, but he says he'd rather have use the type switch if they don't like it.


I might have posted this earlier. Sorry if I'm repeating myself.

Did you missed the thread to post to?

Nah, that post was for you. All of your 7za.exe x entries leave out the -t switch. As of 9.07, that's a required switch for self-extracting archives, which would include hotfixes. It's not a big deal, really, because your instructions specifically call for the use of 4.x version of 7-zip, but I figured I'd point that out just in case you care to support the more current versions of 7-Zip.

About the other post with the error not finding FF addon file, I have to say I've seen this error ago but I though it was completely solved. In fact I cannot recreate the error, using exactly the same settings in .ini file. Can I have the file list? Any other useful info to recreate this condition?

I didn't modify your code or anything. I just entered those settings and ran the CMD file. Here's the file list that was generated:

I'm using an Athlon XP 2600+, so it's pretty old. It could just be an issue where it's not completing a task within a timeframe that your script is expecting. I'm not sure if you have anything in there like that, but just figured I'd mention this thing is incredibly slow in case that makes a difference to you.

Lemme know if you have any thoughts on this. I'll see if I can recreate the problem or if it was just a one-time thing.

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

I made a silent installer with .NET 2.0SP2, NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe and NDP20SP2-KB974417-x86.exe.
NDP20SP2-KB974417-x86.exe still shows on Windows update.

Could you give me some file versions to check if this update is really integrated and installed?

[strel]

Kurt_Aust
I forgot to finish the part for 2K hotfixes processing for 1.1 and 2.0 when I was doing changes. Will be ready for the next version.

Glowy
I built 3.0 SP2+3.5 SP1 merged installers with exactly the same .ini file settings and with the same files in the work folder as you. Then I proceed to install and the error didn't appear. Can you check again even repeating the process or so?

geromichi & 0d14r3
Seems to be the same problem with 1.1 langpacks, I'll check it.
geromichi, about uiautomationcore.dll: then your install strategy is OK, isn't it? But what did you do? What did you installed first, .NET or the update pack?

YumeYao
Vista/2008 dll on XP? Is that possible? Anyway, pretty heterodox!? Will see your progress and your new optimizations.
I'll check that issue with msp files.

Dumpy Dooby
I see, OK, suppose all files to extract are zip, I'll check it to include the switch. Thx. EDIT: There's no problem with that, the script supports 7za.exe 9.07 beta.
I suppose 35SP1_KB963707FIX_NOFFADDONPROPERTY.mst appears in .\TMP folder, is that right?
I have not defined any timeframe limitation for the script subprocesses. Waiting for your tests.

Sp0iLedBrAt
Here check LDR section. Check 20SP2_KB974417FIX.mst was on .\TMP folder (See record in .\out#\processdata.txt)

This post has been edited by strel: 03 November 2009 - 11:20 AM

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

I compared the versions; mscordacwks.dll has 2.0.50727.3082 version, which should be at least 2.0.50727.3603.

I checked if 20SP2_KB974417FIX.mst was in the folder; affirmative.

I'm attaching PROCESSDATA.txt so you can check it out and point me to possible errors in my procedure.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Well, I integrate My update pack first containing KB971513 (uiautomationcore.dll version 7.0.2600.5884), then I integrate AllinOne addon iether T13 or runonceEx; both works : the new version is kept.
So my strategy is ok.
The exe file doesn't replace new version file on a live system

Please use attachment better for a file that long. nLite doesn't accept your file because you are trying to integrate a switchless installer and not an nLite add-on. To build an add-on you should have used T13ADDON=YES setting in the .ini file.

This post has been edited by strel: 31 October 2009 - 05:14 PM

[madpenguin]

I did try that setting. Gave me the same error and also an .exe file, which I expected a 7zip file like previous versions. Let me try it again but I'm positive I had T13ADDON=YES the first time around. It produced an .exe which nlite refused to use....

Thanks for the help strel...

[madpenguin]

Alright.... I changed that option back and your right. A second command window came up that said it was converting to a 7zip file and indeed I now have a "DNF11SP120SP230~4%DNF30LNGSTR35~4%DNF35LNGSTR.7z" in the OUT1 directory.

Sorry about jumping the gun but I could have sworn I used that option because I specifically read the comments. We'll see how the nlite integration and format/fresh install goes with regards to KB974417 still showing up on Automatic Updates or not.

Thanks again Strel for your hard work on SNMsynth
