Removed again. Sorry...

Hello,

did an install of my Win XP SP2 today, with test release 60722a. I noticed two little bugs:

1. KB898461 (new version of the package installer, 'update.exe') was not integrated successfully. IE complained about that missing update when trying to access WU. After I installed it manually, everything worked fine, and WU did not find any other missing updates - they were all slipstreamed without problems.
2. Not sure about that one, but I also tried to integrate the optional update KB914440 v6 (for diagnosing network problems). It seems to be a regular hotfix, but was not slipstreamed, too. Don't put too much effort into it, it's only a minor problem and not really an important update.
Greets,

Tomalak

New version of KB898461? I just downloaded it again and it's still the one from June 2005...

[Tomcat76]

OK... I found it. Sorry...

Is it just an HFSLIP problem?

[the_guy]

can someone post a link to the new version please?

KB914440 isn't really a "regular" hotfix because it creates a new folder containing three new files. If you want, you can add support for it yourself...

Open the HFSLIP script in Notepad (make sure word wrap is disabled) and find "POST HFX HANDLING". It's the title of a section. Scroll down until you're at the end of that section (above the "MSXML FILES" section).
Insert a blank line right above the words "GOTO EOF", and paste the following code into the blank line:

IF EXIST WORK\I386E\xpnetdg.exe (
	ECHO>>HFS\TXTNTDIR.TXT 1003 = "Network Diagnostic"
	ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF custsat.dll  = 1,,,,,,,1003,0,0&ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\DOSNET.INF d1,custsat.dll
	ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF xpnetdg.exe  = 1,,,,,,,1003,0,0,xpnetdiag.exe&ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\DOSNET.INF d1,xpnetdg.exe
	ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF xpnetdg.xsl  = 1,,,,,,,1003,0,0,xpnetdiag.xsl&ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\DOSNET.INF d1,xpnetdg.xsl
)

It *was* just an HFSLIP problem. It's no longer a problem.

It's in the main post, as always...

[the_guy]

I mean the new version of 898461. I can't find it anywhere.

[Tomcat76]

Me neither. The German version is a year old too. I think Tomalak was referring to something else.

[Super-Magician]

What is the difference between Security Update for Windows XP (KB904706) and Security Update for DirectX 9 for Windows XP (KB904706), and which one really applies?

[the_guy]

The first one is for SP2 and SP1 if you didn't install DX9. The second one is for SP1 if you did install DX9.

All right, thanks.

@Tomcat, another quick note: In the preface on your basic howto page, privileges is spelled with an extra 'd'.

[Tomcat76]

Uh? Your browser's cache must be way behind, then. It was last updated on the 18th and "priviledges" is written "priviledges" in both the Preface and in Step 8.

Sorry, my fault - shouldn't have said "new", just meant "newer" (than the original that came with SP2). Yes, I was really referring to the one year old KB898461.

I guess I should have made my point a little clearer . I was trying to say that 'privileges' should not be spelled with a 'd'.



Oh, did anyone notice that for some reason you don't need to be logged in anymore to view this forum?

[Tomcat76]

OK. Updated. Keep the corrections coming, but please don't do it in this thread. I'll start a new one.

[Tomcat76]

OK. "HFEXPERT\PROGFILES" is ready for consumption, hehe. Let the reports roll in...

[tommyp]

The program files will cause countless errors from users. I would strongly recommend to delete this section of code and not rebloat hfslip.

EDIT - TC informed me that he thoroughly tested this feature. Nevermind.
