so by the way, i just manually installed the webfolders thingy on a virtual machine with the quiet and norestart switches and it worked fine. so is it alright to put it in HFSVCPACK_SW1 ? it should work, right ?

[Tomcat76]

If it works with those switches then yes.

(5) CAPICOM-KB931906
The MSI installer within the executable is installed from SVCPACK.
You may place the MSI in HFSVCPACK_SW1 yourself if you prefer.
MSI 3.1 needs to be slipstreamed as well.

hi, i just did a new build with 70524a. It's awesome

Everything installs fine, everything works great. Even the unsupported hotfixes, KB907265, KB934238 and KB907306! (although only KB907265 shows up in add/remove, i checked and the files from the other two are also present - i believe the reason they don't show up in add/remove has to do with the way the patches are built/installed rather than anything to do with hfslip itself)

just one question regarding the capicom thingy - yes again

earlier you had suggested using the msi from the sdk "capicom_dc_sdk.msi" yet the latest builds include support for the other CAPICOM hotfix "CAPICOM-KB931906-v2102.exe". i know this one also contains an .msi "capicom2.msi" but what's the difference between the contents of the two and which one would you personally suggest going with ?

[Tomcat76]

Someone said in another thread that "the big one" is an SDK and that is correct. It appears that CAPICOM-KB931906-v2102.exe contains the full "viewer" just like the hotfixes for MSXML4 and 6 contain all files needed for the full MSXML4/6 parsers.

BTW... You're a day late: there's already a newer test release...

[johndoe74]

i know - what with work and everything it took me two days to do a new build, make an image, install and then run HFNetChk and MBSA before reporting my results

[XibaD]

I get some broken updates with this test release. I checked my HF folder this morning (for 2k sp4 and xp sp2) and all seems to be exactly as the dynamic list

[Tomcat76]

Can you be a bit more specific? What does "broken updates" mean?

[XibaD]

Well, nothing wrong with the script. My fault (again).

The problem was related to the new way of HFSLIP to manage IE6 and Outlook etc (creating the custom cabs in HFCABS). I may have quitted the HFSLIP process (closing dos box) before it was finished, when it was creating the custom cabs. So the cabs were partially created, and in the next consecutive runs of the script, the cabs were detected in HFCABS folder and HFSLIP skipped its creation. For that, there were a lot of broken updates when WU was run (those which were not integrated in the cabs) related to IE and Outlook. You might include code to check if the cabs are correcty created or to force it's creation, to prevent this kind of errors... but it's only a suggestion.

Anyway, thanks for the great work, I'm a huge fan of this utility. It's supra useful

And sorry for my mistake again... and for my english

[Tomcat76]

That's actually a good idea. I'll have HFSLIP check for the existence of all three extra CABs before proceeding with them.

Glad you found the prob

[XibaD]

Well, I continue testing things

Maybe I'm wrong (again) Tomcat76, but the only time I get this release to work with Windows 2000 (I mean, when I install the OS and WU doesn't show any updates...) is when I manually DELETE the IE & Outlook custom cabs from HFCABS folder. If HFSLIP detects that the cabs are present, and skips the process of IE & Outlook, I get WU complains.

It might be a problem related to my config, but I think it has something to do with the new IE management hfslipping hotfixes in w2k.

[Tomcat76]

I think you didn't read the entire changelog. If my hunch is correct, your problem should be fixed when using RC3.

How about automated unpack of wmp11-windowsxp-x86-....exe
i just do it

md %temp%\wmp11
wmp11-windowsxp-x86-....exe /q /c /t:%temp%\wmp11

can you do it in hfslip?

Tomcat76 was not able to find a way to make this work in DOS. He would have used the command you posted. Are you sure it extracts everything properly?

[Tomcat76]

Actually, it does work if the host OS is not Win2K.

I use Win2K as my main OS and figured it may be a Win2K-only problem when I first wrote the code but never got around to trying it out on WinXP/2K3. I did now.

RC4 handles the exe.

Changes in 1.5.0rc4:
- HFSLIP now extracts HF\wmp11*.exe if the folder HF\WMP11 doesn't exist; NOTE: does not work if host OS is Win2K!

Finally! How come it took so long?

Edit: Never mind, I just read your post.

and how about msxml 6 sp1 (KB934268)
for me it does not work properly (with 1.5.0 rc3)

I guess the Dynamic List will then be updated when the final is released then...

it's been a great week, heh!

I always do read the changelog. What happened was that I post te message before you posted the RC3 update

Anyway, now testing with the actual RC5, and the results are the same: if it's the first run or I delete the custom cabinets in HFCABS folder, all works perfect and WU is clean. But on the next consecutive runs (when the cabs remain in the HFCABS folder), well, see for yourself:

hi, a suggestion regarding XibaD's problem. why not make those custom cabs somewhere in SOURCESS or WORK or TEMP rather than directly in HFCABS. That way they'll always be wiped out whenever hfslip starts doing its magic. Yes, I understand it saves time not having to make them every time if they already exist but what the hell, shouldn't be that big of an issue

This post has been edited by johndoe74: 31 May 2007 - 08:49 AM

[Tomcat76]

Moving them into WORK or TEMP is useless because then they are created for nothing. They are only used in the next run, not in the run that makes them.

I've inspected the code top to bottom and bottom to top and it's water tight.

@XibaD:
How big are the new cabs?
How many files exist in each?
Do you see any error messages while HFSLIP uses the new cabs?
