ltsnow Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I tried to integrate IE8 RC1 with nlite and it said the integration failed. According to the updates for nlite IE8 beta 2 is supported. Is RC1 different?
johnhc Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 ltsnow, I was going to give it a try, but could not find a copy. Where can I find a copy for XP x64? MS does not show RC1 at all and Google says MS says it will be out in January 09. I did see some sites that had XP copies. If it will not integrate, as you found, then I suspect only nuhi can help. I suggest you send him an e-mail (see nLite site) or a PM or both. Enjoy, John.

MagicAndre1981 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 the RC1 is available for IE8 Testers on connect.microsoft.com
johnhc Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 ltsnow, sorry, I don't know where. Thanks, MagicAndre1981. I looked at the site and it appears that registration is required. I have more registrations than I need now and will wait to till MS makes it public. Enjoy, John.
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 The Ie8 program is invite only, sorry.
ltsnow Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Now that we've established the availability does anyone know why is won't integrate?
johnhc Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 ltsnow, I assumed that considering my response you knew I do not know why IE8 won't integrate. I think that IE7 also did not integrate until nuhi fixed nLite. I hope you have tried to contact him. I also assume you have tried it with nothing but SP3 and nothing else against a fresh copy of your source files/folders. Please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini for us to look at. I will post when I get a chance to try it on my x64 system. Enjoy, John.
johnhc Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 ltsnow, I found a copy to DL for x64 and tried it and it did not integrate for me either. I got a window with the switch options, then the error that the integration failed. I tried a direct integration and got the same switch option window, then it quit. I created a log file and got the log below.00:00.000: ====================================================================00:00.000: Started: 2009/01/10 (Y/M/D) 12:55:26.046 (local)00:00.000: Time Format in this log: MM:ss.mmm (minutes:seconds.milliseconds)00:00.000: Command line: c:\231e703ecc5db09606cd1d24\update\iesetup.exe /integrate:C:\Slipstream\New_Machine /log:c:\00:00.000: INFO: Checking version for c:\231e703ecc5db09606cd1d24\update\iesetup.exe: 8.0.6001.1834400:00.000: ERROR: Invalid command line argument: '/integrate:C:\Slipstream\New_Machine'00:00.031: INFO: Message to User: Run iesetup.exe /? for usage.00:03.672: ERROR: Failed to parse command line arguments -- 2nd pass.00:03.672: ERROR: Setup exit code: 0x00000004 (Invalid command line).It looks like the /integrate switch is not valid. I suspect nLite is using the same method and is getting the same error. I have a couple more things to try and will let you know if I have any success. Let us hear if you solve the problem. I did install it on my VM and it installs and works fine. Enjoy, John.

Much better than the beta 2 version.
johnhc Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I found the x64 version of IE8 RC1 here. It is very slow (about 16 kBS, 30 minutes) unless you pay. Enjoy, John.
meowing Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Isn't there a way to install it using a batch-file after install has finished, using the $OEM$ folder and putting the .bat deep under Allusers Startup folder? Like this:\$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\lastrun.batTo get the IE8 file you could put it on your install-image and find out the drive-letter usingFOR %%I IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%I:\WIN51AP.SP2 (SET CDROM=%%I:& GOTO ISOFOUND):ISOFOUNDassuming the file WIN51AP.SP2 is in your XP x64 iso root. You can then call the IE8 installer using something like:%CDROM%\SOMEDIR-ON-CD\IE8*x64*.exe /quiet /update-no /no-default /norestartAnd then let the batch-file kill itself in the end ;-) something like this:powercfg -h off >Nulsleep 5shutdown.exe -r -f -t 11 -c "Restarting final time.."attrib -R -A -S -H "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\lastrun.bat"del /S /F /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\lastrun.bat"Should work. Let me test this procedure and then I'll post the total batch-file I used if it is succesful. Edited January 15, 2009 by meowing
johnhc Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 meowing, you should also be able to install out of the RunOnce in nLite, using the /Passive and /NoRestart switches. Have a look at this great tutorial, if you have not seen it. Enjoy, John.
meowing Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Yes, I know about Kurt's files. The problem with nlite's RunOnce is that it isn't done after the entire install has finished. For IE8 you'll probably need to have booted and have a fully running OS.
johnhc Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 meowing, that is exactly when Kurt_Aust's bat runs for me. I specify a user account and when it boots after installation, but before the theme and other things are set, the bat runs. I install several programs and they all work fine. I have not tried IE8, but I would just place it in the bat (updated to run the IE8 installer) and let'er rip. Enjoy, John.
