I´ve tried to download this file http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwa...ash/swflash.cab.
But i always get the message "no connection to the server available". Is there a other location?
THX.

@ x-pert
Thank you.

TC - please update your links to that macromedia stuff.

all - please stay on topic. if there are codec issues, please post on the codec thread.

No need for you to apologize and I'm sorry to sound like a butthorn. I just want to keep it clean and on track for the test releases.

Tested 60510b.

Everything works perfectly. KB913433 installs successfully. WU does not complain.

Afaik, hfslip recreates some KB updaters (something with dasetup I think). And when creating them it puts cat files into the updater even though you provided a hacked sfc file.
Could this be changed, thanks.

If you have a modded SFC file but are still getting CAT files in the SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK folder they can only come from these locations:

- original SOURCE
- XPize
- HFEXPERT\WIN

Tomcat - did you get my PM?

Those cats are not in SVCPACK but in the installers inside svcpack.
A screenshot will probably be better:

@Camarade_Tux:
HFSLIP is not going to extract a Microsoft installer and compress it again just to delete the CAT files inside it.

@Super-Magician:
Yes, but hold on just a while. You'll see for yourself...

Of course, I just thought HFSlip already extracted and recompressed those installers.

hi!

i'd just like to ask if it would be possible to enable support of http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en in HFSLIP?

may i ask too if it's possible to reduce size by removing the ff:
i386\ASMS (10.2mb)
i386\WIN9XUPG (32.6mb)
i386\WIN9XUPG (3.97mb)
i386\WINNTUPG (1.04mb)

i know we can but would there not be problems that'd present itself later on ...
i guess trying to compress ASMS results to some errors involving some files? (not sure though)

lastly, i'd just like to follow-up if it would be possible to consider adding the time stamps (start & end) of running HFSLIP?

everything else works great!

thanks!

Adding support for it (an SVCPACK install) is trivial but I need to run this by TommyP.

I'll run this by TommyP too

I'd prefer to have a removal file for use in HFCLEANUP. I feel the same about the CAT files...

[Kiki Burgh]

thanks sir for the quick reply ... perhaps you just woke up

btw, i just like to clarify, the requests i brought up should be done the HFSLIP way, alright ...

w/ all the removals, i am worried about i386\ASMS (10.2mb) the most
(we could safely remove the others, correct?)

Kiki, Sounds like you are on a quest for a small installation CD. Here's a hint for you. If you are working with xpsp2 in your source, you can delete your WIN**UPG folders. I don't think that there are any "normal" hotfixes that add/remove to these folders, should not get recreated when hfslip is run. I am unsure of the ASMS folders. I suppose this can be incorporated into HFCLEANUP though. Let me think about this one for a bit. IIRC, there may be some other folders you can remove as listed on unattended.msfn.org.

As far as the USB program goes, I don't feel it is required for this script. Why not install this one when you install your other programs?

[Kiki Burgh]

thanks for the clarif tommyp ...
as for the USB prog, that is what i actually do ... install it after the OS is done (as flash drive mgr is quite helpful esp for those getting files from here to there, etc.) ... i'm just thinking that it'd be great to have it done likewise when the script is doing its thing ...

& yes sir ... i'd like to see a small source ... without affecting any functionality so to speak

Kiki - why not make a silent & switchless installer for this and throw the file in the hfsvcpack folder?

[Delprat]

did i saw a new test version or is it more misunderstanding ?

btw, i have a remark about hfanswer... : is it of any use ?
i moved all it (possible) content into SET ...=... line in the main script, then i deleted the instructions pages (including gnu, drivercomp and cat removal), and i censored (walls have eyes now !)...

and now my hfslip is an unattended hfslip

i think you could do the same in the DL : i mean replacing the ECHO'ed instructions by REM'ed ones, include the hfanswer content in SET lines (with REMs around) but leave censored empty.
So the user will still need to read the instructions, but all will be in a single CMD.

does this sounds good or bad to you ?

PS: to be fully honest : in fact, i'm just tired to modify it each time... hopefully this is very fast with a merging tool

Yep. Whatever you saw is an internal build.

You can do that if you prefer. I figured double-clicking the answer file would be easier. But don't talk about the undocumented, OK?

Problem in the handling of SWFLASH.CAB on non-English systems (to be more precise: those languages for which the swflash.inf in the original Windows XP source is in Unicode format). This will be worked around.

Does SWFLASH.CAB integrate properly on English systems?
