    EWF +MinLogon on old laptop

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by Destro

    not by much, mini login should be used as a component of a tiny xp that includes explorer shell swaping and gutting the OS.

    Mini login on it own does nothing but speed up boot times and slightly reduce memory footprint of winwogin., but it also replaces the normal login behavior so things like sharing files is borked.

    A good shell replacement is this thing.  Desktop Lite Thing.  It's a very rare file that you cannot get anymore.  Only works on XP.  It is a minimal explorer replacement.

    XP32, Windows Update & svchost 100%: OTHER solutions?

    in Windows XP

    I have the solution.  I figured out how to fix it.  This only solves the problem with XP and office 2003 With the 2007 compatibility pack. causing SVChost to redline to 100% for hours.  This does not fix other installs.

    There is an Actual update order.  I know it sounds totally ridiculous but its true.  The problem is not the 2007 compatibility pack.  It is the compatibility pack SP3.

    1. Install clean Office with clean SP3.  I haven't tested Hotfix integration into the source.

    2. Run windows update and only install the office 2003 updates/ Alternatively if you have a 100% accurate list you could do it manually.

    3. Now install Fileformatconverters.exe

    4. Install Office 2007 compatibility pack SP3.

    5.  Uninstall Office Compatibility pack sp3. ( just the SP3 don't uninstall the compatibility pack.) SP3 should be below the compatibility pack when you view all updates.)**The converter pack listed above it will disappear but it's really not gone***

    6. Run windows update and install the updates for just the compatibility pack.

    7.  Download kb3127894, kb3203438, kb3191897

    8. Install Office converter pack  2007 SP3.

    9.  Manually apply the 3 patches in step 7.

    10. Run windows update and reapply the some of the patches patches you installed in step 4. It's not all.

    I was able to delete windows installer 4.5 files and and replace them with a 3.1 installer files and add the DLL from 3.1 that is supposed to fix the redline svchost issue, Re registered them and was able to download updates, and install them still , I don't have office 2003 installed but I am gonna install office 2003 on my fully patched vm with compatibility packs and try to patch it and see if I run into issues.  I'll let you know.

    I am curious about.  Microsoft update forced me to install msiexec.exe 4.5 MSI.dll 4.5 and msihnd.dll 4.5, however it did not replace the other 2 files that I replaced msisip.dll 3.1 and msimsg.dll 3.1.

    Can you try to manually apply this DLL? 

    rename to MSI.DLL

    I think it has something to do with windows installer 4.5 and Office/MS updates.  Like that it doesn't include this fix. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/927891/you-receive-an-access-violation-error-and-the-system-may-appear-to-bec

    That hotfix replaces this one.

    maybe the fix is to downgrade MSI installer to a deprecated version.  Maybe the reason that we all have this problem is because we all used the same update packs that included installer 4.5

    Last thing try to unreg the msi installer and instal 3.1 instead

    Ya thats what I think That I only have this problem with "Microsoft update" not windows update and it's only when I have office 2003 installed.  But it may happen with other versions like 2007 i haven't tested that.  I found my 2003 office hotfixes I have all of them since SP3 full ENU installers.  I am glad I saved them since MS has now deleted them off of their site.  If there was enough interest in it, Id be willing to break/fix a XP VM with 2003 office and try to figure out which update/update actually causes this problem but i don't know if its worth it.

    In the past I have been able to successfully run microsoft update on a vanilla 2003 office Source, But the moment I start apply patches to it or if it is even fully patched update breaks.

    explaination

    This is a old problem that MS never fixed.  It's the kinda issue that effects multiple configurations the same way.  Some solutions that work for some people don't work for other people.  I have this issue when I have office 2003 installed on an XP machine and I have Microsoft update instead of just the standard update installed.

    Try to run this file and see if it fixes your problem.  Also install the latest IE 8 cumulative hot fix.  Its on the windows update catalog.

    If you don't have MS office then you don't need MS update, Try to use normal Windows update and disable MS update.  Its in the options.  

    Last thing you may wat to try is somone made a standalone windows update for XP like what they have in win 7 but I never tried it.

    Microsoft .net framework installaion breaks after applying updates?

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I use a AIO Repack that ricktendo made it include .net 1.1 to 4.0 with all hotfix included and it gives me no issues.  I don't use SP4 tho.  I use QFE + pos addon.  There is a tool called .net clean up utility http://www.thewindowsclub.com/the-net-framework-removal-cleanup-tool

    I might try to just remove it all and then try the solution that I use  http://repacks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26&sid=885d7e8be75f70d74e94f1ff93b2dc98&start=30

    Converting XP POS UPD to run on 2003 SRV 32 Bit

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I remember there was some people like tomasz86 and Blackwingcat who were successful in porting a lot of XP updates to win 2k and 2k Server after it died.  

    I wonder how hard it would be to port XP pos ready updates to 2003 server 32bit.  The code between  2003 5.2 and  XP 5.1 seems a lot closer than  XP 5.1 and 2k 5.0 to me.  

    Would this be worth doing considering no one uses 2003 server 32 bit.  I think there is even less 2003/XP 64-bit users though.
