Can we use these addons inside hfaoo folder?

Microsoft Runtime Libraries 1.4.8 (32-bit)
Kels' Runtimes v5.8

Make sure the right tools are in hftools and test it out in a vm. I can't say whether or not they work, in fact, I don't use HFAAO.

I tried it but I think it doesn't work because some updates are missing.

You can always repack the latest binaries in that cab file....

What do you mean?

What I want to do is to slipstream to my source the vc runtimes (because is needed from Nero and some other programs) and also the updates to keep WU happy.

Typically a hfaao is a cab or 7z file. To replace files in side the cab or 7z files, you have to open it up with your favorite unpacking program, and then remove and replace the outdated binaries with new ones. Click save when your done and you have an updated cab file.

Hi bfc_xxx,

if you change the HFSLIP script a bit like I explained here:
http://www.msfn.org/...-3-t135961.html
you can put the originial microsoft vc runtimes (vcredist8_x86.exe and vcredist9_x86.exe) into HFSVCPACK_SW2 and they will get installed at t-13.
I did build a Dotnet installer see http://www.msfn.org/...howtopic=127790
not removing the vc runtimes. Normally after that micosoft update would require the updated vc runtimes.
As it seems HFSVCPACK_SW2 gets installed at t-13 after HFSVCPACK where I put the donet package. But with the two VC runtimes in HFSVCPACK_SW2 they were not missing in micosoft update, what means that the got installed at t-13 with the modified switch in the hfslip script.
SET SW2=/Q:A /R:N
to:
SET SW2=/q

I did some more test and I think VC addons are not installed at all.
I will try something else. I will nlite my source with vc runtimes addon only and then use hfslip.

Hmmm good idea but the problem then is how to keep WU happy, there are updates that must be installed.

Well with my method WU seems to be happy (including dotnet package). After setup has finished and I enter WU website no updates are missing except (I think) 3 optional ones (windows search, windows live, power shell)

bfc - do you have the appropriate items needed in the HFTOOLS folder? There's info about it on the hfslip website. Refer to step 3 here.
