You're right - sth is wrong : Can't install KB905474 and KB976002 through Microsoft Update / Windows Update. On "clean" HFSLIP installation (without RVMi AddOns) MU/WU has no problems with installing updates. Maybe it's becase I checked "optimize system files" in RVMi?... I'll check today same image but integrated in reverse order (first RVMi, then HFSLIP) with "optimize system files" checked and unchecked. I never use the optimize system files option in RVM Integrator. So I would definitely try without that option.

The special character I used should display a square block character (ANSI character 254) using the default code page (850). You can use the chcp command to see the active code page.

Personally I would only use RVM Integrator for integrating addons. The files added by HFSLIP to the I386 shouldn't be there at all, as these files needs to be added to the DRIVER.CAB file. A successful Windows setup doesn't mean that everything works as expected. You need to test if installing a printer works that depends on these files and that you can print a document for example.

My suggestion is to put your project under version control and compare the changes between methods! I have integrated Rick and Yumeyao Printer and XPS update addon with RyanVM Integrator 1.6.1 beta into my XP SOURCE. I then use HFSLIP to integrate all Windows Updates. This method is faster as you won't have to redo it everytime you rebuild the ISO. Just make sure to remove all superseded hotfixes from your HF project folder. I had to remove KB950305 and KB971276.

Recently I had to workaround such a issue for supporting the latest Roots Certifate Update. My solution was to look for a specific file version using the findstr utility. REM WORKAROUND FOR MAY 2013 ROOT CERTIFICATES UPDATE IF EXIST TEMP\updroots.exe ( IF EXIST HF\rvkroots.exe ( FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR "5...1...2.4.8.4" TEMP\updroots.exe') DO DEL /F/Q TEMP\updroots.exe ) ) Anyway I have all my code merged into a new HFSLIP 1.7.10 beta. I have added a few defines to skip some code and added support for handling uncompressed sysoc.inf. See first post for download links.

Hi Jakson, You can safely remove the HFSLIP folder after Windows Setup is complete. I had commented out that line for testing. I will add an option for it in next beta. The GDITool registry tweak was used to silence Windows Update for offering this tool. The registry tweak is no longer necessary.

Yes, I had no problems with Internet Explorer 8 when slipstreamed using HFSLIP. However trying to reduce the footprint of my Windows XP setup I switched to a true IE8 Addon. Why I think you stopped developing HFSLIP is not because of user complains, but simply lack of interest. I don't need HFSLIP to integrate drivers, infs or registry tweaks. Just slipstreaming windows updates is enough for me.

So, you get some errors in the setuperr.log? That's because syssetup.inf is signed. These errors are harmless as it is the same as trying to register a dll with no registry information. I would like it if you had made it an option for users to replace all IE6 files. About your question of supporting integrating Windows Media Player codecs I have only changed the extraction path to fix the integration code of Windows Media Player 11. Are you still working on HFSLIP?

HFSLIP uses the last modified date to copy files. This works fine most of the time as you would expect files with a higher version number have more recent date information. Have you specific files that needs to get replaced with an older version?

You are right, I don't have any IE updates (except for a cumulative IE6 for shdocvw.dll and browseui.dll). I'm using OnePiece's addons to integrate IE8, WMP11 and a few other things. A new feature of HFSLIP beta K is that it allows you to use HFSLIP after integrating OnePiece Internet Explorer 8. I don't understand why HFSLIP does not replace the Internet Explorer 6 files when slipstreaming Internet Explorer 8.

Parseus, thanks for your report. I think you did not have any Internet Explorer updates in your HF folder so %VERSIONIE% was not defined. Adding quotes is a nice trick to let you compare even if variables are not set.

Parseus, I haven't tested HFSLIP on Windows 7 yet. You can try to add some pause statements to find the code segment where the error is located.

Good find Tomasz! So far I used RVM Integrator to integrate some addons into my source as I expected HFSLIP to be buggy. How good is the Addon integration code anyway?

Jakson, I have dropped support for processing the HF\WMP11 folder. Please put the Windows Media Player 11 installer in the HF folder with all Windows updates and Windows Media Player 11 updates.

It seems that not all files are copied when you don't have an exclude.txt file in your HFTOOLS folder. Please download HFSLIP 1.7.10 beta K v2 again with a fix for it. At the moment I still have some differences between my own test version and the public version, but hopefully I will have everything merged in v3.

There is a bug in HFSLIP 1.7.10 K v1. Please don't use it as it will delete your project folder if you didn't change the SOURCESS variable manually. I have uploaded HFSLIP 1.7.10 K v2 to fix it. This new version should also fix integrating wmf11dist.exe (part of Windows Media Player 11).

About question 1: That variable should point to a subfolder within your HFSLIP project! I have fixed the default variable now in 1.7.10K v2. I should add more protection checks for it in next version though. But remember to always keep a backup of your project folder. Question 2: I changed the switches to remove uninstall support. This should save some space after installation. You can change this to the old value if you want to keep uninstall support. Question 3: Yes, that is exactly what that fix does. But please try HFSLIP 1.7.10K v2

I think a major issue right now is the infolink advertising on this board. It really brings down the user experience. Apart from this annoyance the board works fine at the moment for me.

I was gonna ask if anyone still had a copy of a HFSLIP 2.0 alpha version, but after an extensive search I found a download link on some Polish file sharing site Note I don't think it is a good idea to use this 2.0 alpha version at the moment. If possible I will try to look if there is something useful code to port back into the 1.7 version. EDIT: I discovered links to HFSLIP64 are also broken. I should remember to always keep local copies of these files. hfslip_2.0.0pa_80630a.7z hfslip64-v1.1.5.zip

No sorry, so far I have only tested Windows XP. Shouldn't matter as most fixes are pretty small. i noticed you started also a specific Windows2000 branch. If possible I would like to merge your changes into this version.

Recently I have posted a number of fixes for you to test. I got no response so far, probably because people have trouble modifying the script themselves adding these changes. So I have cleaned up my code a bit and merged everything into the 1.7.10J branch maintained by mimo. Fixes: 1. Fix for missing KB942288 catalog file 2. Fix for integrating muclt.dll.mui files (Windows Update) 3. Fix for integrating latest updroots.exe file 4. Fix for integrating KB961118 ntprint catalog file 5. Remove useless MSIEXEC /x commands (Uninstalls legacy PolicyMaker, not included with Windows XP) 6. Remove all start /wait commands (not needed) New features 1. Support updating a OnePiece Internet Explorer 8 Addon integrated source. 2. Add support for changing temp SOURCE directory (can speed up HFSLIP when specifying different drive letters) 3. Add HFTOOLS\exclude.txt to allow excluding copying specific files / directories. Please report your testing results here. Changelog: Jun 11, 2013 - Remove redundant START /WAIT commands.

Read http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142365-about-cmds-start-wait-command/ for more information about the redundant start /wait command.

At the moment I have created a number of fixes: 1. Fix for missing KB942288 catalog file 2. Fix for integrating muclt.dll.mui files (Windows Update) 3. Fix for integrating latest updroots.exe file 4. Fix for integrating KB961118 ntprint catalog file 5. Remove useless MSIEXEC /x commands (Uninstalls legacy PolicyMaker, not included with Windows XP) 6. Remove all start /wait commands (not needed) These are minor changes and should be easy to add. I also have some feature enhancements which may need some public testing: 1. Support integrating OnePiece Internet Explorer 8 Addon. 2. Add support for changing temp SOURCE directory (can speed up HFSLIP when specifying different drive letters)

Mimo, any chance of merging some of my fixes into a new HFSLIP beta version?

Here's my workaround for the latest Root Certificates Update: Add the following lines to the :HF2EXTRACT section of HFSLIP.cmd REM WORKAROUND FOR MAY 2013 ROOT CERTIFICATES UPDATE IF EXIST TEMP\updroots.exe ( IF EXIST HF\rvkroots.exe ( FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR "5...1...2.4.8.4" TEMP\updroots.exe') DO DEL /F/Q TEMP\updroots.exe ) ) As the file modification time of the updroots.exe is also newer than the one from rvkroots.exe my solution is to check for this specific file version. Hopefully future Root Cerificate Updates won't have this problem.
