For Windows 2000, Windows Defender requires gdiplus.dll. Put gdiplus_dnld.exe in HF and 7za.exe from the "7-Zip Command Line Version" package in HFTOOLS.

This used to be covered through an external file (HFSPLUG1.CMD) but was merged into HFSLIP 1.0. I removed the HFSPLUG1.CMD info from the site but apparantly forgot to provide info on GDI+ elsewhere. I'll rectify this.

I'm not using Windows 2000 but Windows XP. I've attached the log of hfslip.

P.s. The log doesn't show what files are in HFGUIRUNONCE. Maybe is better to implement that it show them.

Attached File(s)

So far, it work beautifully, and usually Hfslip work without any problems. As a matter of fact, 1.2.2 work using this method without any problems whatsoever, but not the latest test releases. I ran the exact same hotfixes, updates and cab files in 1.2.2 and the test releases.

Do you have iexpress.exe in your Windows's SYSTEM32 folder?

I notice another odd thing. I place UPHClean-Setup.msi in the HF directory as per your guide, but once I ran Hfslip, I notice that it move this file to HFSVCPACK_SW directory.

This is mentioned in the changelog.

I always edit txtsetup.sif so it will point to the i386 directory. I just notice that I need to edit the hfslip.cmd file in the svcpack directory as well. I will do that and retest, but the odd thing is that I did not do that for 1.2.2 and the installation still went smoothly.

Editing HFSLIP.CMD isn't necessary if you enter the path when prompted. But this is only required if anything is going to be installed by HFSLIP.CMD.

@S3pHiroTh, Windows Defender can't be installed at T-13. I've tried it with the MSI and a switchless installer. Put the file in HFGUIRUNONCE instead.

Tomcat - Check and double-check. I do have iexpress.exe in my system32 directory.

Has anybody successfully ran the test release to install IE7?

[Tomcat76]

@Super-Magician...
LOL... I saw that... Don't worry...

@kenlau...
Well yeah... Me...

[Super-Magician]

I'm about to run it now. Will check and see...

[Tomcat76]

If I were you I'd wait until it's released...

[Super-Magician]

Actually, I meant to run the test release for kenlau to see if the IE7 part works. I guess I can wait a little longer for the new one. Thanks.

Edit: ...which I guess has just arrived in the last second.

Out.

[Super-Magician]

Thanks for that and 70203b as well.

I think there's a bug. I tested 70203a in a VM. The first time I ran it my power got interrupted while it was installing, so that may be a factor. However, it occurred during GUI-mode setup, not txtmode copy. After I restarted setup, I got a bunch of error boxes saying the HFSLPxxx.INF files were missing from C:\WINDOWS\HFSLIP.

I then reverted back to a snapshot of a clean VM. Right before T-13, I got another Advanced INF Install message, but this time HFSLPGUI.INF was missing.

A bit problematic, don't you think? I didn't change a single thing in my folder structure from my last successful run except to introduce rootsupd.exe and the Feb 2007 update for DirectX, readd IE7, and update KB905474. I can still post my HFSLIP.LOG file if you want, but I don't think it will help much.

I guess 70203b os not 100% ready yet, because the download link is not working.

I got hfslip-70202b to work now.. , although I install with the network disable.

Simply replace the latest character "b" with an "a".

[Tomcat76]

Sorry, guys. I forgot to upload it. It should be there now...

[dziubek]

Could you change hfslip files adding in HFSLPGUI.CMD to alphabetical order ( like it in SVCPACK.INF is ), but not in type order like it's now?:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID
CD %WINDIR%\HFSLPGUI
START/WAIT langpack1.1.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1
START/WAIT langpack2.0.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1
START/WAIT 030_dotNET30.exe
START/WAIT IE7_INST.EXE
START/WAIT REGEDIT /S 000AA.reg
EXIT

I would like to make it this way:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID
CD %WINDIR%\HFSLPGUI
START/WAIT REGEDIT /S 000AA.reg
START/WAIT 030_dotNET30.exe
START/WAIT IE7_INST.EXE
START/WAIT langpack1.1.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1
START/WAIT langpack2.0.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1
EXIT

@TC

Hmm... I was wondering while there was differences in style between hfcleanup and the other parts of the script.

Anyway, this exaple simply demonstrates how the script in hfcleanup takes at least the dots in every search string as wildcard characters, and that it does possibly filter out more lines than it should.

The following change is suggested here, and the similiar places:

 
FINDSTR /V /B /I [color="#FF0000"]/L [/color]/G:WORK\HFCU\FILTER.TXT SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF >TXTSETUP.SIF
 

I would even suggest changes troughout the script, to clarify up these things:
- if wildcard searches are needed, use RegEx with /R switch
- else use /L or /C: switches to make sure no wildcard searches occur.

If anyone in doubt here is what I'm talking about:
ECHO Filtering TXTSETUP.SIF ... this might take a few seconds

Everyone who have ever run hfcleanup knows this line well. And it's true it really takes 10-20 second to process txtsetup. It's because it takes lot more processing power to make a wildcard search than a literal! After applying the /L switch hfcleanup filters txtsetup.sif like a flash. So I suggest removing that comment too

EDIT: I haven't tested the differences in results... it depends on the exact searching pattern, and the strings searched for, but at least the possibility is there to be determining

Nice find dude. I think this may help some of those pesty files that accidentally get erased once in a while! Only the txtsetup, dosnet and the drvindex files should be processed like this. The other hfcleanup type files should continue using the existing filtering method (i.e. without the /L switch). It will need to get tested first though. Ouch!

[Tomcat76]

@dziubek

It's possible but it might slow down the HFSLIP process. I'll think about it.

[Tomcat76]

At this point I'm more interested in comments on the "alternate input folders" feature. At the current rate of interest it won't make it into the final...
