I'd rely on HFNetChk. When a file is missing, MBSA reports a missing patch. HFNetChk doesn't and moreover, it requires less services (doesn't use AutoUpdate for instance) HFNetChk : http://langeek.org/request.php?18

I sometimes have the problem too. I think it was always because of a connection drop. Maybe "quick edit" should first check if it still connected to the internet ?

It doesn't matter so much. And as far as I'm concerned, I just wanted to point out they also copied so they shouldn't say anything. There's only Safari which is incredible : they really have nothing to say, engine was already written, they only ported it (it relied on Qt and KDE)

pS-, impossible to see your desktop (no hotlinking ?). -> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37825909/ Once more, looking nice.

No, $OEM$ is different: CDROOT\$OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32. Create new directories if needed. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/18/

-> Safari is (mostly) open-source. Why ? Because they use KHTML, Konqueror's rendering motor. I'm wondering how old is Rainlendar. I doubt Apple was first to introduce tabs. ...

Yes but I want it to be on another webserver so it still appears but is not hosted by msfn anymore. (there's no *important* reason for that in fact)

No, not Vistaize. Everything but Vistaize. It's impossible to pronounce, Vistahahahahayze...

I uploaded my avatar somewhere else and wanted to remove it from MSFN's server. But as far as I see, this is not possible. Here is the link : http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8855/av57090fl0.png Thanks a lot. PS : imageshack

Hi, ATM I'm running wihu with cmdlines.txt but first change the screen resolution from 640x480 to 800x600 to offer more space for wihu. I tried to run wihu maximized (Autohotkey has something for this but I know ShellExecute() has the same). This seems to be impossible. So I wait wihu's window and maximize it (autohotokey again). But at T-12, everything is pretty slow so I get a special effect. Could this be changed. Thanks a lot.

Updated! What's new: Features: [*]The script relies on a file named "sectionlist.txt" which has to be in the same folder and is in fact a .ini file. This file is used to determine which section of the install.ini should be treated and appear in the output file. The script is not able (yet) to find all section itself. [*]Shortest example: a "[main]" section, a "list" key and all sections, separated with ";". #NoTrayIcon IfNotExist, %A_ScriptDir%\SectionList.txt { IniWrite, %blank_var%, %A_ScriptDir%\sectionlist.txt, main, list IniWrite, %blank_var%, %A_ScriptDir%\sectionlist.txt, main, SectionSort IniWrite, %blank_var%, %A_ScriptDir%\sectionlist.txt, main, clean_level IniWrite, %blank_var%, %A_ScriptDir%\sectionlist.txt, main, Sort IniWrite, %blank_var%, %A_ScriptDir%\sectionlist.txt, main, special_dark MsgBox, 0, Fatal Error, SectionList.txt could not be found`, check this file is present and try again!

I changed a few entries in my languages.ini (contains [en] and [fr] only!) http://bleddyn.co.uk/tux/languages.7z

No answer, but "a consummer..." ?

7zip only associates with files when it runs. Here is what the installer does in the registry: # store install folder WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\7-Zip" "Path" $INSTDIR WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\7-Zip" "Path" $INSTDIR # write reg entries WriteRegStr HKCR "CLSID\${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" "" "7-Zip Shell Extension" WriteRegStr HKCR "CLSID\${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}\InprocServer32" "" "$INSTDIR\7-zip.dll" WriteRegStr HKCR "CLSID\${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}\InprocServer32" "ThreadingModel" "Apartment" WriteRegStr HKCR "*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\7-Zip" "" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" WriteRegStr HKCR "Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\7-Zip" "" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" ; WriteRegStr HKCR "Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\7-Zip" "" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" WriteRegStr HKCR "Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\7-Zip" "" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" WriteRegStr HKCR "Drive\shellex\DragDropHandlers\7-Zip" "" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved" "${CLSID_CONTEXT_MENU}" "7-Zip Shell Extension" WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\7zFM.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\7zFM.exe" WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\7zFM.exe" "Path" "$INSTDIR" # create uninstaller WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-Zip" "DisplayName" "${NAME_FULL}" WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-Zip" "UninstallString" '"$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"' WriteRegDWORD HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-Zip" "NoModify" 1 WriteRegDWORD HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-Zip" "NoRepair" 1 WriteUninstaller $INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe

I tried again without changing anything to the config and it did not only download files for XP SP2. For the profile thing, I think this is good. Another nice addition would be to check if the hotfix does not already exist in another folder as most hotfixes work for more than one platform(folder specified in the config file).

2-point to the setup.exe of your expanded service pack afaik.

taskkill.exe comes with windows. taskkill.exe /F really kills processes (i.e. does not ask them nicely to quit)

mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile c:\zik.ext

In nlite, there's an option for that and the corresponding tooltip says it may create bugs. I thought it was an old comment and asked if it could be changed. Nuhi told me some OSes would still bug if one of the file was compressed. Better safe than sorry, in the end, it is probably better not to cab everything. And now, I can say this test releases is working perfectly. B) Thanks again.

I was not aware a specific version of windows was more problematic than the others.

You can find where MPC is stored using different methods. If it is associated with any extension, you can ask the registry. Also, by default its settings are stored in the registry. And I bet it is clearly stored somewhere else.

I'd have a desktop with less icons but these ones are nice and gnome's logo is awful (Gnome looks better but KDE has better software support imho). ripken, what do you use to display your temps ?

And I have to correct you a bit : And there's something else, on the front page: I'll have to look deeper at this later on.

Thanks for the news. I think VMWare will be pretty handy though. :/

Love that one.
