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 ...

60608a contains the recent suggestions. Thanks...

Glad to see you added the hardest one.

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 ...

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...

@glentium

That feature is already built into HFSLIP. When you get to the screen where you type in I HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Instead of that type in MAKEISO, then HFSLIP will make the ISO and exit.

[glentium]

Oh, sorry.. I didn't know... Thanks!

[Super-Magician]

Thanks for implementing the MakeNoISO idea.

I know this kind of takes away from the whole point, but I'd like HFSLIP to ignore the MakeNoISO setting if AHTEST is specifically set to MAKEISO.

More specifically:

Quote

IF "%MakeNoISO%"=="1" IF /I NOT "%AHTEST%"=="MAKEISO" GOTO EOF

When using the InstallRC option in HFANSWER.INI, WINNTUPG Folder in SOURCE\I386 is required. When it is not present, you get the error message at T-13 something like: "The option to upgrade is not available..." "X:\I386\WINNTUPG\NETUPGRD.DLL" cannot be found...

[Super-Magician]

glentium: Browse using command prompt to the root of your source (one without WINNTUPG) and run the following command.

START/WAIT I386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattend

Does the error come up there?

[glentium]

yes, I made another CD without the InstallRC option and the error message I mentioned didn't came up. After install, I ran from the command prompt: START /WAIT I386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattend

The error I mentioned came up again but just like what happened when I included InstallRC, it just continued with the installation after I pressed OK.

[Super-Magician]

Actually, I wanted you to try it with your original source.

it should be noted that if you delete winntupg folder, you can not install the recovery console...most people dont delete this folder either, but its needed for the same thing and that folder is compdata...though I dunno if you can delete that folder and windows will install still.

this more or less confirms your find glentium

normal installation once OS hits the GUI is: x:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons

try to cross-refer to this too: http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=75945

All right. So I guess Tomcat can put a line inside HFSLIP that looks for the presence of WINNTUPG before inserting the line in HFSLIP.CMD, as such:

Quote

IF "%InstallRC%"=="1" IF EXIST SOURCE\I386\WINNTUPG\* ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD START/WAIT %%HFSLIP%%\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattend
