teddy0682 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I have was trying to create the image and everything was fine until i got here. I must have the newest version of XPCreate cuz i just got it. I have found the cab file other places and dropped it in the SVC-SWF folder but that doesnt work. I am new to this and have researched other posts but have gotten no where. Please reply ASAP... i need this done my tomorrow... last line : 14:04:53 --> Listing Hotfizes and Updates. Error: "Download Error: SVC-SWF\swflash.cab" also... where can i edit so that it does not download particuliar hotfixes.thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virindi Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 You do not edit the download list.You can:a) not download any hotfixes automatically (DLURL=NO)b) let XPCREATE download the fixes and then delete the ones you don't want, orc) save a copy of the hotfix list modify it, set up your own webserver, and point XPCREATE at your custom list.My suggestion is to let it download the hotfixes, then after it downloads the set -- just change the line in XPCREATE.INI to "DLURL=NO" and delete the hotfixes you don't want.Additionally, why dont you just delete the SWFLASH.CAB that you have, and use the one that is downloaded by XPCREATE? [edit]: the MD5 on swflash.cab has changed, so I presume they've updated it. The download lists have been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I get the same error on swflash.cab and I downloaded xpcreate about an hour ago.From the xcpreate.log file:first entry:ADD SVC-SWF\swflash.cab http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab e017f066be11e9e8357bb9fd2313c3ccsecond entry:-- 18:47:34 -- Downloading: SVC-SWF\swflash.cab ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:47:38 -- MD5 Error.

teddy0682 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Additionally, why dont you just delete the SWFLASH.CAB that you have, and use the one that is downloaded by XPCREATE? trust me .. i did... about 5 hours ago and many times since... that's where the error comes from me finding the cab file was a last resort - which didnt work either =( everything before this dl'ed fine obviously... ill try any suggestions...

GreenMachine Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks, fellahs.It seems Macromedia has updated the Flash installer, thus the MD5 checksum change. Note that the Flash version number has NOT changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkee Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I'm having the same problem with swflash.cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virindi Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Try deleting your copy of swflash.cab and letting it download a new one; or download it from:http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cabI just re-downloaded it, and the signature hasn't changed since the last update. Maybe I missed one of the update lists -- what language and OS are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkee Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I've tried manually downloading swflash.cab and then running xpcreate and what i notice happening is that it's deleting it self from the SVC-SWF folder.I'm using windows xp - english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virindi Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Thats really weird. The download link I posted above downloads:SWFLASH.CAB (487462 bytes)MD5: 1ef07bc1ae13ea565a25a3732fd4a694So, XPCREATE is correct - you have an outdated version of swflash.cab somewhere that it can see, in the SVC-SWF folder. I don't know what to say except delete the old one and download the new one from the macromedia link I provided, so it is seeing the file it expects. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on. Are you using the xpcreate.wiretapped.us web address (the default) to download your hotfix list? If you are not, your list is probably outdated. The signature of the SWFLASH.CAB file has changed in the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr4ck Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 i've got the same problem.. im gonna try download it from that site above and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Welcome, bunkee, to MSFN!I really do not understand why SWFLASH is causing so much trouble: it always works fine on a clean XPCREATE run for me. However, others do not seem to be as fortunate. I am very, very close to removing it from the Download Lists, leaving only the option to manually include it in the SVC-SWF directory. Works for me ...

bunkee Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thanx for the welcome I got tired of playing with it so i just changed the md5 in the hotfix list... worked fine after that but i was downloading from the links posted in this thread... maybe my browser is grabbing a cached file or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Good point about the cache: it could be a cache type problem on Macromedia's part, or a server farm that has non-syncronized, multiple copies of the same file.I have a feeling this one does not have long to live on the list ...
