Alright. The new test release is in the wild. Please try it and let me know how it goes...

[CharlyBrown]

No error messages but dotnet2 is not integrated.

The file dotnet2.exe is located in: HFSLIP\HFSVCPACK.
Is this still correct or should it be placed in HFSLIP\HF?


Less important: The branding.cab does not work. It seems to be ignored.
EDIT: The branding.cab inside the IE7 installer seems to be damaged! I tried to extract it with 7zip but got an error message. The Branding.cab that I added into the HFCABS folder is OK. Can you check that?
EDIT2: The file is just empty. That's why I get an error message when I select "extract files".

It is not in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK?

HFSLIP doesn't copy BRANDING.CAB but its content. If it's not too big, can you attach it here?

[CharlyBrown]

It does not seem to copy any content OR it fails.


Attached branding.cab. That's the one that has failed every time.

Today I created a new one that I don't have right now and that I did not test yet. The new one is on the test-system in our company and it is a little bit different. I tried to keep it simple.
IEAK creates a setup.exe to force the branding on an already existing installation. I tried it on a test system and it worked pretty good that way.
----------------

dotnet2.exe: I'll tell someone to check it or we would have to wait until Friday..

You are talking about the "IE7 installer" so I guess you didn't slipstream it this time. INSTALL.INS from BRANDING.CAB should be inside IE7_INST.EXE in that case. Can you verify that it is?

BTW... Was this file created with IEAK7? I'm having a hard time believing that because of this:

Wizard_Version=6.0.5730.1001

dotnet2.exe
If placed in HFSVCPACK, it should've been copied into SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK just like before. The only difference is that the current test release initiates the install from SVCPACK.INF (just like in the old days) instead of from HFSLIP.CMD.

You know... I'm beginning to think that there are files that fail to copy on your computer. The first ASMS.CAB file you gave demonstrates a problem that's really puzzling me. But I can only say that for sure once you follow up on my last post in the other thread.

I always try to integrate it at T-13 because of the png-issue.

YES, it is! I was wondering about this version number as well because I expected to find something like 7.*

I just received the mail: dotnet2.exe is present in the right folder.

Chkdsk /r is running.

Please don't mix things up! THIS thread is about the problems that I am facing in our company. It is independend from the other thread that is about the problems that I have at home. Nevertheless I doubt that my harddrive at home is defective. It is working pretty good without any issues until today. It's a 10k SCSI harddrive.

You do realize that HFSLIP is for PERSONAL use. Do you plan on giving your paycheck to the developers for doing your work?

[CharlyBrown]

I made an offer to get a chance for at least a one-time-payment but Tomcat76 refused it.

Our company can not make any "donations". We would need some kind of service quote for "adjustments for enterprise use". If it would be accepted it might be payed. I can't guarantee it.

BTW: During the last weeks I am doing lots of testing for your project. As Tomcat said you don't have anyone else who tried to install from a network source.

[CharlyBrown]

Double-Posting, but worth it:

Our network share has a hyphen in its name that cannot be removed. It's caused by the software to install systems with PXE over the network...

Might this be the Problem?
