hi again, I think I found the problem: I had an EXPAND.EXE with a date of 2002 in my SYSTEM32 folder. I got the new sources I was talking of and replaced the EXPAND.EXE from these new sources. Now everything seems to work fine. cheers, Saiba

Hi Tomcat, regarding my sources: maybe there is something wrong. They are slipstreamed with SP2 already, but not by myself... I will get clean XP SP2 sources from work from a original MS CD today and we'll see if this helps. regarding GETLANG section: the file is present in my sources! I have a file called FP40EXT.IN_ in my sources. But nonetheless HFSLIP causes the file-not-found error. As I deleted everything yesterday to start from scratch again, I will attach any logfile in future if I get the same errors again. Thanks for now cheers Saiba

Hi, just tried to use the newest HFSLIP 1.70, but got errors. First of all it tried to expand the sysoc.inf file from my source but cpould not (expand returns "error extracting..." blabla). I worked around this by extracting sysoc.inf manually using 7zip and preventing HFSLIP from deleting the WORK directory, so I can put the sysoc.inf file there in advance. But in the HFSLIP CMD there is the following command: FINDSTR/L "[Version]" work\i386\sysoc.inf This command always fails, although there is a section called [Version] present in the file! I even checked for blanks in the same line, but there are none... Additionally I get an error on the new GETLANG section. This one: FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/B SOURCE\I386\FP*0EXT.IN*') DO ( COPY SOURCE\I386\%%~nI.INF WORK >NUL 2>&1||EXPAND SOURCE\I386\%%~nI.IN_ -R WORK >NUL TYPE WORK\%%~nI.INF>WORK\GETLCIDD.TXT ) FOR /F "TOKENS=3 DELIMS= " %%I IN ('FINDSTR/BI "FrontPageLangID" WORK\GETLCIDD.TXT') DO SET LCIDD=%%~I always returns "the system cannot find the file specified" cheers, Saiba
