Your English is fine

The error for Flash 9 is normal. The registration part of the newest OCX from Adobe is just broken so we'll have to wait for them to release a new version. For Win2K and Win2K3 I even had to work around this otherwise an error dialog appeared during Windows setup. Weird that they haven't updated it yet... Who'd think anyone would slipstream Flash, right?

I know about the errors for MSXML2 but am not sure why they occur. HFSLIP is including the catalog file so I guess Windows setup uses these DLLs before it checks the catalog files.

Ok I have understood thanks
But for MSXML2 problem there is a workaround or not?

@ Tomcat76...

POSSIBLE GOOD NEWS...

I install my media center from CMDLINES normally in this order...

"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf"
"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf"
"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection SonicDVDandCDBurning 128 sonic.inf"

But since you pointed out the errors in MedCtrOC.log I changed the order to...

"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection SonicDVDandCDBurning 128 sonic.inf"
"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf"
"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf"

After the install I checked the MedCtrOc.log to see if any errors occured... NO!
I havn't had a chance to check whether this effects the results of Windows Update, will get back to you on that.

Any way, a possible resolution is to try and involk the sonic.cab to install before mediactr.cab. This will resolve the errrors!


UPDATE
Unfortunately the updates are still showing up on Windows/Microsoft Update website.
But at least this shows the errors on MedCtrOc.log are not the cause of the updates showing up on the website.

That's nice, but that won't fix the problem for "regular" MCE distributions. In these, the .NET 1.0/MC/Plus/Sonic components are installed from SYSOC.INF at which point .NET 1.1 is not installed yet. This will take some time to debug so MCE slipstreaming won't make it into the next final.

HFSLIP 1.2.2-rc2 adds the CAT file of the msxml2sp6-kb887606 security update. Apparantly HFSLIP wasn't doing that before. This will fix the error for msxml2.dll, but not for msxml2r.dll. This is because msxml2r.dll is not part of the security update; msxml2r.dll is taken from msxml2.msi which doesn't contain a CAT file at all. I couldn't find a hotfix containing msxml2r.dll *and* a CAT file so the msxml2r.dll error can't be avoided unless you don't include msxml2.msi.

Ok, I have searched for this CAT file that missing, in my laptop at work there is a file named "x86_Microsoft.MSXML2R_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.1.0.0_x-ww_29c3ad6a.cat", this isn't good for our goal?

[Tomcat76]

And where did it come from?

[S3pHiroTh]

Simply I don't know
It is in my laptop business laptop with a premaked iso image, however if you search that file with google there are many entries...
The exact directory where it is C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\Manifests\x86_Microsoft.MSXML2R_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.1.0.0_x-ww_29c3ad6a.cat

If you want I upload it tomorrow morning or I can email you if you want

This is a zip with these cat files:

Quote

msxmlx.cat
x86_Microsoft.MSXML2_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.20.9818.0_x-ww_8ff50c5d.cat
x86_Microsoft.MSXML2_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.20.9839.0_x-ww_ed80bd5c.cat
x86_Microsoft.MSXML2R_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.1.0.0_x-ww_29c3ad6a.cat
msxmlx.CAT (this is in another directory)

Only a question, these files are found in my business laptop at work, it has Windows XP Professional in English language, do you think that these cat files works with Italian version or not?

The CAT file for MSXML2R is coming from the MSXML4 package. Lemme test if including that will clear the error message...

Not really of relevance anymore. MCE slipstreaming didn't make it into the final.

[Tomcat76]

That cat file doesn't do it. I used the latest.

A question about the latest version of hfslip, I have read that, now, it can install at first logon .msi files, can hfslip install .exe files? Or need to be implemented?

Ok, this for me is unuseful, because if I put the .netfx 2.0 exe installer (silent installer download on ryanvm site), it doesn't install, (because that method doesn't install at first logon, but at T-13 of Windows installation), so I have asked. Someone else can told me how to do that?
Thanks a lot

Not dropped... A newer version will be released if it actually fixes the problems.

It depends on the type. Microsoft Type 1 and Type 2 hotfixes are generally supported (provided that the Type 1 hotfix has the word "Windows" in its name); these go in the HF folder. Executables that need to be installed with the /Q:A /R:N switches go in HFSVCPACK_SW (with special care for WMP10 if you prefer to place it in this folder). Executables found in HFSVCPACK will be installed without switches so this folder is best used for silent/switchless installers; "normal" executables can also be placed in this folder but then you'll have to follow their installation wizard during Windows setup.

RyanVM mentions that his .NET 2.0 installer can't be installed at T-13. There are several posts here about alternative switchless .NET 2.0 installers which CAN be installed at T-13.

I have tried to download Aserone's Net Installer, but the link doesn't work anymore... I have searched on web but I can't find another installer that work at T-13. Can you tell me where I can download it?
Where can I put the language packs for net framework in hfslip (both 1.1 and 2.0)?

EDIT: Another news, if I slipstream WindowsXP-KB929969-x86-ITA.exe, after I have installed Windows, Windows Update tell me that KB929969 update isn't installed, but, if I slipstream IE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-ita.exe, Windows Update doesn't tell me to install KB929969 hotfix. I attach my log (with IE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-ita.exe update)

I see in your log file that you are including IE7. WindowsXP-KB929969-x86-ITA.exe is only for IE6 so it's normal that Windows Update complains.

.NET as well as the language packs are not supported directly. I don't know of silent installers that combine everything, but you can make a full .NET 1.1 package including the language pack yourself with some script I wrote a long time ago.

I can't seem to find another .NET 2.0 silent installer anymore either (at least not one that's up to date).
