[Important changes regarding hfslip 1.7.8 / 2.0 since August 2008]

Oh yes!

1) I tried again and MSI 4.5 didn't integrate properly with /integrate switch. I will try to integrate it by HFSLIP/HFSVCPACK_SW1 method and update my post#7.

2) Maybe KB936181 is not needed for XP+SP3 but sometimes it showes up in MS Update. I think this depends on software you install on PC. Some apps include older versions of xmlcore, i think.

MS KB article: Security Update KB936181 may repeatedly appear in the update list on MU/WU

2008/10/29: MSI 4.5 integration didn't work even with old "/integrate method"

[/Recent updates]

First, thanks to Tomalak!

I followed Tomalak's updated post. My Microsoft Update (XP(czech) with integrated SP3) still wanted this updates after installation:

WindowsXP-KB951978 (VBS-JS)

WindowsXP-KB952287 (MDAC)

WindowsXP-KB958644 (new XP security update from 23/10/2008)

My workflow:

1)

Integration of windows installer 4.5 with HFSLIP 1.7.8 didn't work. I had to integrate it directly to the "source", same way as Lions suggests.

(for example this way: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe /integrate:w:\xpcd\hfslip\source)

It didn't work for me. I'll integrate MSI4.5 via HFSVCPACK_SW1.

2)

With HFSlip i integrate these hotfixes (+ branded IE7, +WMP11):

3)

Then I integrate two hotfixes (thanks to Lions), drivers, patches and tweaks with nLite :

Updates integrated with NLite:
windowsxp-kb938464 
WindowsXP-KB953155

4)

Last step is to do few things manually ($OEM$ directory, tweaked WINNT.SIF, etc.). Make ISO. Burn. Pray. Install. Pray.

Up to now, after two days of tests, the only "cosmetic" problem I noticed concerns the TimeZone update: after installation, my system had, as default, the local time of "Kabul"(!?!?) , that I had to manually correct.

Just a brief off-topic note. To solve the "Kabul" problem I use:

rundll32 shell32,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/z Central Europe Standard Time

For Italy it should be:

rundll32 shell32,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/z W. Europe Standard Time

(complete list: XP Timezone Names)
