Btw, HFSlip creates SOURCESS, HFS, and a third folder before checking modifype.exe is present. And then it quits without deleting them. The check should happen earlier in the script.

What do you mean here?

HFSlip tells you you need modifype.exe in HFTOOLS and then quits. Then you have 3 new empty folders. It doesn't harm, it just looks a bit dirty. :/

IMHO,

Oh, I see now. That makes sense .

hi!

allow me please to drift a little away from the recent topic ...

would HFSLIP allow further support for other .msi (& or .exe) installers (mostly, from MS --- to name a few: WinColorSetup.exe (http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en); UFDSetupWizard.msi (http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en); TimeZoneSetup.msi (http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en); RAWViewerSetup.exe (http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en); DECCHECKSetup.EXE (http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en); etc.)?

actually, for the last 1 i already tried via HFSVCPACK ... & it worked.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am a bit surprised that it would work via HFSVCPACK because that folder is for silent switchless installers. DECCHECKSetup.exe is not such a file AFAIK.

Kiki, HFSLIP is a HotFix SLIPstreamer. You are best off making your unattended program installation on your own.

[Kiki Burgh]

@ Super-Magician ... yes sir it did! just 1 of those crazy experiments that i do when i create ISOs ...

@ tommyp ... sir, no slight intended ... just asking ... since we already some some .msi & .exe included ... just thinking about some other possibilities ... that i am confident HFSLIP can handle

not forcing the issue ... he! he! thanks!

60608a contains the recent suggestions. Thanks...

- refined dotnet2.exe T-13 fix (installed from HFSLIP.CMD now)
***
- dotnet2.exe including fix for installation at T-13 when placed in HF folder (1)

just 1 quick Q ... would this mean that directly downloaded dotnet2.exe from MS should work just fine now ... thus not calling for a switchless installer anymore?

thanks!

No, you must still use RyanVM's (or another's) silent switchless installer.

Read the footnote .

got it sir!
this is what i've been using: Foxy_dotNET_1.1_and_2.0_SVCPACK_Addon ... and it works flawlessly even with 60603b ...

Glad to see you added the hardest one.

[Super-Magician]

Aserone's addon pack (Foxy_dotNET_2.0_SVCPACK_Addon.cab) and installer would have worked before the HFSLIP code addition because it already contained the registry hack needed to install .NET 2.0 via SVCPACK.INF. Just a(n) FYI.

Beware: Script is getting bigger!

The size of the CMD file went down between the 60422/60425 release and the 60528 release.

HFSLIP_60528.CMD - 143,062 bytes (139 KB)
HFSLIP_60609a.CMD - 145,696 bytes (142 KB)

Just a head's up .

we need to release a new HFANSWER.ini then for those who might just be using it for the 1st time ...

but it'd be easy to add the other lines ...

Can you think of a smaller script that does all that HFSLIP does?

I'll do it once it goes final... Don't worry...

ha! ha! just couldn't resist commenting ...

[glentium]

Since it's now possible to disable ISO creation thru HFANSWER.INI...

would it also be okay to add a feature to go directly to the ISO creation without going through all the HFSLIP processes?
This way we can run HFSLIP without creating the ISO then check SOURCESS folders and perhaps make some modifications to the SVCPACK.INI file or other things. Then when we're ready to make the ISO, instead of running MKISOFS.EXE manually from the command line, we could use HFSLIP as the MKISOFS.EXE frontend UI for making our HFSLIPed CD. (I know we could use a third party ISO creation UI for this since that's what we all do before ISO creation feature was added to HFSLIP but it would be great if HFSLIP can do it since it would be just skipping all those steps and make the ISO right away from the SOURCESS folder)
It could be added, say, right in the beginning of the batch file saying like "SOURCESS FOLDER DETECTED, CREATE ISO?" If you answer Yes, you go directly to ISO creation. If you answer No, then you go through the whole HFSLIP process and recreate SOURCESS folder... (and make the ISO, or not, whatever you specified in your HFANSWER.INI)

Just an idea...
