Slipstreaming messenger.msi & HMTCDwizard.msi

[jvidal]

Hi!

I've using HFSLIP for a while and it's a great utility!

However, i haven't been able to find out how to slipstream Windows Messenger 5.1 (messenger.msi)

and the highmat cd wizard (HmtCDwizard.msi).

I placed them in the HF folder, but they were totally ignored by hfslip.

I did put the MSIcabextract files in the HFTOOLS folder.

What do i have to do? do I need to rename the msi installers to 8.3 format?

Place them where? in HFSVPK or HFSVPK_SW??? or..?

Can they be slipstreamed???

Help!

Please do not send me to http://www.vorck.com/2ksp5.html . I've already been there and there's nothing .

there about slipstreaming non-hotfix msi installers (like the ones I'm trying to slipstream)

I don't know if msi installers are considered Switchless or non-switchless or what. I just want to know if it's possible, where to put them and with what name convention.

Thx in advance!

HFSLIP is really a HotFixSLIPtreamer. The messenger and highmat cd program are add-on's and not hotfixes. With that said, HFSLIP won't process those at this point in time. Your best bet would be to manually install them via svcpack, or repack them with a self extracting exe file. Sorry dude.

I am working on an addon pack to be used with Ryan's integrater but it seems that the way the interagtor works will not allow for this...still working on it though to see if I can find a way.

Hi!

Don't Worry, it's not that big a deal. I'll just install them manually. I only wanted to save a little time when installing (I Do it A LOT). But, if it can't be done, it can't be done. No problem. I'll still use HFSLIP for hotfixes, it's A GREAT tool.

Thanks!

bye!

You can try MSN messenger if you like that too. I tried it during the summer, though, so I can't say if it still works with the newer builds.

Repacked installer for HMTCD is here. Put it in HFSVPK directory.
