(1) Do you still need MSICabExtract.exe in HFTOOLS for any MSI files?
(2) Is there actually a new version of UPHClean and will redownloading it solve Camarade_Tux's issue with it not installing?

1) I don't know. I don't use any updates that require it. It used to be needed for msxml.msi and msxml6.msi but HFSLIP now extracts them through an admin install. Maybe TommyP knows more.
2) I don't know. You said there's a newer version, no?

@Camarade_Tux: Can you open SVCPACK.INF in the SOURCESS folder and check the line that installs UPHCLEAN.MSI?


Edit....

Aha!

I see you got this line in HFSLIP.CMD: OEUPDATE Q823353

That indicates you're using Windows 2000. UPHClean cannot be installed at T-13 on Windows 2000, hence the reason it's not on my 2K update list.

Ummm...Camarade_Tux's log file (HFSLIP.LOG) indicates that he is installing XP SP1.

I did say there is a newer version of UPHClean, but that's according to the file release date on the download page...Microsoft's website is not always accurate in regard with that. When I take a look at the filesizes of the older file I have and the one I downloaded today, they are the same.

[Camarade_Tux]

nLite probably removed classic.wm_ since no classic.*** is present in SOURCESS (except classic.th_)

My new UPHClean and my old one have the same md5 so the new one is not newer than the old one.

With the tool on this page, http://www.msfn.org/...php/t62418.html
I extracted the files contained inside the msi file.
There's an au3 file in the package and I found this :

case $arctype == "msi"
			runwait('msiexec.exe /a "' & $file & '" /qb /log c:\uniextract.txt TARGETDIR="' & $outdir & '"', $filedir)

[Tomcat76]

I haven't tried it on XPSP1 yet. Maybe it suffers the same problem there. Try with a silent installer. My old MultiCompiler tool can make one.

[Camarade_Tux]

It seems you posted 1 nanosecond after me.

Also, I md5'ed the newly downloaded UPHClean.msi (updated on April) and it has the same md5 as my old one.

And I'm running XP SP1a.

and on this page, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS04-018.mspx
it is stated

Affected Software:

Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1

Three quick suggestions for HFSLIP (nothing to do with the above).

1. Change

IF EXIST HFSPACK\* CALL :HFSPACK1

to

IF EXIST HFSPACK\*.exe CALL :HFSPACK1

so HFSLIP does not run through that portion of the script if there is nothing in HFSPACK.

2. The "I have read..." section is missing the lines

IF EXIST HFTOOLS\MKISOFS.EXE CALL :MAKEISO & pause & exit
IF EXIST HFTOOLS\CDIMAGE.EXE IF NOT EXIST HFTOOLS\MKISOFS.EXE SET CDIMG=1&CALL :MAKEISO & pause & exit

when you type in MAKEISO at the prompt. Without these lines, typing in MAKEISO will create the ISO with MKISOFS automatically.

3. The very top portion of the script under REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER is not current.

@Camarade_Tux...
MS06-016 (KB911567) replaces MS04-018 (KB823353) as stated in the FAQ section on the MS06-16 page.


@Super-Magician...

1) We'll do.

2) I know that. I'll ask TommyP.

3) There's no place!

(I hate IE, just lost my post)

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
HFSLIP.CMD
UPHClean.MSI /q

After removing a 2.06GB wmi.log file (yes, GB!), I was able to uninstall and then reinstall UPHClean with the /q switch which worked and eventvwr is happy.
(and then people wonder why they should have small system partitions, imagine a 320GB wmi.log file. )


BTW, would you advise me to remove those lines as I use nLite to patch my sfc_os.dll and then removes cat files by hand ?

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]
d3dx9_24_x86.CAT
d3dx9_25_x86.CAT
d3dx9_26_x86.CAT
d3dx9_27_x86.CAT
...

Tomcat, I'll check my update files, some are very old. Thanks.

[Tomcat76]

@Super-Magician... All done. Check 60416-rc2.

@Camarade_Tux... Just treat them the same way you're treating the other CAT files.

[Super-Magician]

Thanks, Tomcat!

When I referred to the section below REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER, I was talking about

REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER
REM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ISO - CDIMAGE.EXE
REM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ISO - BOOT.IMG
REM IF YOU HAVE MSI HOTFIXES - MSICABEXTRACT.EXE
REM IF YOU HAVE HFEXPERT - MODIFYPE.EXE

Just a technical issue - since you never see it .

By the way, I like your Multi Compiler tool, even though it's no longer updated.

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?

[Camarade_Tux]

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:

0.109: ================================================================================

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.

[Tomcat76]

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...nup/_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.
