[Tomcat76]

Just a technical issue - since you never see it .

Right. I always scroll down immediately.

[Super-Magician]

I see you were ready to release something yesterday !

That was a test version for TommyP.

[Super-Magician]

So you turned off the directory listing?

I'm pretty upset since I just lost my post because of a crash (my half-dead-HD as always).

After 40 minutes : does MBSA2 skip checking file versions if registry keys are not present ?

What follows is a partially unuseful:

In my latest test with Dx 9.0c Feb06 slipstreamed, MBSA complains about KB904706. It says it is not installed.

This updates is old : Dec05. I'd thought it would be included in DX Feb06.

I tried to install it and then it refused telling me this update was intended for Dx8. However on the download page, it is said it concerns "XP SP2" which comes with Dx9. So what ?

Here it the log:

I looked into d:\2ff4afa03ba790f56e0084917ae44855 and it seems this update only modifies quartz.dll.

Does it mean MBSA2 doesn't care of Dx9.0cFeb06 ?

In fact, I'm up-to-date but it's only MBSA that complains.

I'll make an HFNetChk report as soon as my VM is available again.

/me is tired and bored of these MS updates.

DX9.0c hasn't been updated since its release so the hotfix still applies. You only get updated SDK stuff and some additional binaries of which HFSLIP only supports the d3dx9 ones.

[Camarade_Tux]

The hotfix log says

0.141: FileVersion of C:\WIN\System32\quartz.dll is Greater or Equal To 6.4.2600.1106
0.141: FileVersion of C:\WIN\System32\quartz.dll is Greater or Equal To 6.4.2600.1739

I checked the one in dxnt.cab : version 6.5.1.902 which is also the version of the one present on my system.

These bi-monthly releases also contain security fixes.

[Tomcat76]

The hotfix contains version 6.5.1.907.

Wait a minute...

Setup says "the hotfix is intended for DX8" and you say the hotfix has version 6.4. That can only mean you're using the wrong hotfix.

WindowsXP-KB904706-v2-x86-ENU.exe is for DX9 on XPSP2 and DX8 on XPSP1

WindowsXP-KB904706-DX9-x86-ENU.exe is for DX9 on XPSP1

You need the second file.

[Camarade_Tux]

Ok, it seems you got it.

I used you "Windows XP updates" page to download the hotfix. http://users.telenet.be/tc76/winup/_winxp.html

On this page, I selected updates for SP1 and then, clicked on the link to KB904706 downloadpage : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

There, it is said this hotfix is for XP SP1.

...

Ok, I just needed a bunch of hotfix and did not check the "slipstream Dx9 box". If it is checked, the link points to the good update. Arghh, your page is too good for me.

Thanks.

Then could you please host it somewhere for the poor people that can't use WU ?

(nLite, blabla, removed, blabla, is able to restore BITS and AutoUpdate service but seems something else missing, blabla, wil dig into, blabla :flowers: )

Here ya go: 904942 from WU. Direct download from Windows Update.

[Camarade_Tux]

Won't work if I change ENU by FRA. :snif:

Thanks anyway. :/

I used HFSLIP_60417-rc3.CMD

I did not use HFAAO and did not remove *.CAT

In phaze T-13 I have the errors :

"While loading C:\ WINDOWS \ SYSTEM32 \ INETCOMM.DLL stepped out the error. The file can be not installed or damaged".

It is also similarly from :

c:\ THE PROGRAMS FILES \ OUTLOOK EXPRESS \ MSOE.DLL

Remove the Cumulative MSOE update for XPSP1. You only need the one for SP2. There are a couple of other hotfixes there that are for SP1.

I used the test version called HFSLIP_60412c.CMD with WINDOWS XP SP2 and all the updates works fine.

Except for the WindowsXP-KB904942-v2-x86-ESN.exe (Spanish language).

The files that this update contains are these:

_sfx_.dll

_sfx_0000._p

_sfx_0001._p

_sfx_0002._p

_sfx_0003._p

_sfx_0004._p

_sfx_0005._p

_sfx_0006._p

_sfx_0007._p

_sfx_0008._p

_sfx_0009._p

_sfx_0010._p

_sfx_0011._p

_sfx_0012._p

_sfx_manifest_

Update/update.ver

This update doens´t seams to work. It´s the problem fixed in the new release (The HFSLIP_60417-rc3.7z)???

All the others updates works fine with the Spanish Version of Windows XP SP2.

Thanks in advance.

The latest version of KB904942-v2 (yes, there's a second version of the second version) is only obtainable from Windows Update or the Windows Update Catalog site. Either download it yourself from the Windows Update Catalog site or use the direct download link in the following thread:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=72590

I just added the Spanish file.
