It appears also when starting and stopping the second pass.
Never had that issue before. Thanks for the bug report.

Doing Main Updates first separately from the rest worked, but there are no instructions to do so.
I know about the CHM because you told me. There is no reference to it that I can see.
The Installer goes to the selection menu without the user being able to read the CHM beforehand even if he knows about it.
Your target audience will mostly be NEWBIES. Experinced users will have less need for this SP.
The Instructions should be plainly displayed before the selection window.
Website instructions will quickly be separated from a downloaded package, so you can't depend on people reading the Website for Installation instructions.
It really depends on the individual system. Some users may have runtimes and the necessary files installed already, so there would not be a need for them to install Main Updates. They could just install the other options. I can't think of a solution ATM. This is why I suggest a clean install. SP covers almost everything except for Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Direct X and DotNET framework. Also, the SP doesn't target a specific audience, it targets anyone who wants to update their system. There is no one size fits all. There are other geeks, gurus, newbies, computer savvy techs who uses the SP besides the people on MSFN, we are not the only users. If users are too lazy to read the manual or instructions, then thats on them. I posted them, its up to them to follow.

You may want to add this to your documentation.
I will add your instructions in the next release..

I did not use DLLHOOK or WDMEX in these tests.
WDMEX replaces WDMSTUB, so the INF files would have to be purged of WDMSTUB references.
DLLHOOK issues were related to KernelEX not U98SESP3. I don't see any reason for problems with DLLHOOK or FILE64.
If you have some free time, I would appreciate if you could test those two app with SP3. Its good to see the SP is playing well with your software. Another plus for the pack. Thanks for your findings, which is going to help me improve SP.
