I went to apple.com. It loaded an ad from the "Get A Mac" thing and played flawlessly, I was even able to see the HD version. ^^ I tried to specify "%ProgramFiles%\Multimédia\QTLite" as an installation folder in the .ini and it took as is, not as C:\Programs\Mul.... But anyway, the installer is really nice. Thanks a lot, your pack is really wonderful.

OK. And another question about your QT installer. It seems you don't use 7-zip SFX anymore. The ini files is really a nice feature. Does it have to be in the same folder as QT installer and be named QTLite.ini or is it possible to specify one with command line ? I also wonder if in the ini I can use variables : 'InstallDir="%ProgramFiles%\QTLite"'. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. What is expected with WM11 ? I mean new features, is there only updated codecs ?

Those cats are not in SVCPACK but in the installers inside svcpack. A screenshot will probably be better:

Don't forget to get a copy of the .pdf. It's really usefull.

Afaik, hfslip recreates some KB updaters (something with dasetup I think). And when creating them it puts cat files into the updater even though you provided a hacked sfc file. Could this be changed, thanks.

Really nice. Could you please also update the QuickTime package ? Thanks a lot.

Ok. No problem, hopefully HFSlip is opensource. ^^ :lovethat: About the EXPAND thing, wouldn't it be possible to use ren expand.exe expand_t.exe copy HFTOOLS\EXPAND.EXE SYSTEM32\EXPAND.EXE ............ del /Y SYSTEM32\expand.exe ren expand_t.exe expand.exe EOF Yes, it's been a long time since I last used batch scripting.

A modular HFSlip seems wonderful. :woot: I thougt about the modularity and I think CALLs should be introduced at many places. I think HFSlip should call batch files with constant names. Let me explain : IMHO using dynamic names is not a good idea as it will probably introduce some bugs or difficulties. For example, after hotfixes have been slipstreamed, it will call "post_hfslipstream.cmd" which contains a list of .cmd files to run. Thus it is easy to add a script of your own when you want. Also, I think all steps should be listed so we know what is available for expansion. But I still think is not bloatware. For sure it is complex but 100% usefull.

1Meg. I did some tests, just to see what could be saved. Not much, that's true. It just dislike having two ntkrnlmp.ex* on my CD which is a bit more than 115MB and I am doing final tweaks to it. I have fast nothing to do on it, it's almost perfect! In fact, I may spare up to 5 or even 6Megs. I'll see how it goes.

Ok. Do you think I can achieve it by inserting a "Pause" line before hfslip starts recompression and remove the files I want (of course, I have to edit driverlist.inf) ? Or do you think this will result in errors ? Thanks.

Ok, cabarc from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310618 Thanks but in fact, I was wondering how HFSlip would work since I don't currently have cabarc.exe on my computer.

If HFSlip was becoming bloatware, I would probably leave it. But IMO it is far from that. That's true I only started playing with HFSlip recently but I don't see the bloat : you don't have a button corresponding to features you don't use, HFSlip is not slower... Also, I think features such as HFCleanup, HFAnswer, ... do not need thousands of line of code; they are not preventing updates for MS updates.

Yes but then files are also removed from i386. For example, ntkrnlpmp.exe has to be in i386 but I don't think it has to be in driver.cab. And, btw how do you make driver.cab ? I never managed to get a cab with multiple files in it.

I haven't seen anything to remove files only from driver.cab. Could this be implemented ? (the idea is that if a file needs to be present in i386, it maybe won't have to in driver.cab)

Use makecab /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX ntprint.inf instead of simple makecab, compression will be higher and not much longer. Also, don't forget you need SFC/WFP to be disabled. Right now, I'm searching which files present in i386 and in driver.cab can be deleted from i386. Also, I'm wondering if some files we would like to cab are not needed for recovery console or such things. (afaik, regedit CANNOT run while windows is in textmode)

Tomcat76, I think those added files may be needed for recovery console or things like that so I'm with you on not removing them by default. But who really knows what is their use ? tommyp, I had not yet checked HFCLEANUP and it seems really powerful. Thanks.

I just wanted to make my list complete : Duplicates on a DELL XP SP0 CD: 1394bus.sys 1394vdbg.sys abp480n5.sys acpi.sys acpiec.sys adpu160m.sys aha154x.sys aic78u2.sys aic78xx.sys aliide.sys amsint.sys asc3350p.sys asc3550.sys asc.sys atapi.sys binlsvc.dll cbidf2k.sys cd20xrnt.sys cdrom.sys cmdide.sys cpqarray.sys dac2w2k.sys dac960nt.sys disk.sys dpti2o.sys fdc.sys flpydisk.sys ftdisk.sys hal.dll halaacpi.dll halacpi.dll halapic.dll halmacpi.dll halmps.dll halsp.dll hidclass.sys hidparse.sys hidusb.sys Space lost on the CD : 932KB I'll see what can be removed, probably next week. And my favorite flavor of Linux is ... the one that lets me use my Radeon mobility X700 on my 16/10 screen at its native resolution. I used to run SuSe. I sucked my install and could not install again because of *dead* HD.

Really nice. :woot: Thanks. ^^

60507a did not fix the problem.

Trying right now. I just completed an install with the latest "final" release (late April). That time, I had no problem with OLEDB32R.dll.

I noticed a problem when using nlite and hfslip. While installing, XP complains about "OLEDB32R.DLL". Nothing appears in Evevntvwr and nothing in setuperr.log. I'm doing more tests right now (especially : does this error appear without HFSlip ?). edit: This was without nLite. If I only use nLite, I have no problem. I had no problem two weeks ago so I'll try an older release and see how it performs (two weeks ago, I used an older release of KB908531). Also, with only XP SP1 and HFSlip (no nLite!), I have a few missing updates (attached no_nlite.7z). no_nlite.7z

Quickly, with only SP1 slipstreamed (will check with no SP slipstreamed later): Files in driver.cab AND in i386 acpi.sys acpiec.sys adpu160m.sys aha154x.sys aic78u2.sys aic78xx.sys aliide.sys amsint.sys asc3350p.sys asc3550.sys asc.sys atapi.sys binlsvc.dll cbidf2k.sys cd20xrnt.sys cdrom.sys cmdide.sys cpqarray.sys dac2w2k.sys dac960nt.sys disk.sys dpti2o.sys fdc.sys flpydisk.sys ftdisk.sys hal.dll halaacpi.dll halacpi.dll halapic.dll halmacpi.dll halmps.dll halsp.dll hidclass.sys hidparse.sys hidusb.sys Files present in i386 AND in sp1.cab 1394bus.sys acpi.sys atapi.sys ati2dvaa.dll ati2dvag.dll ati2mtaa.sys ati2mtag.sys ati3d1ag.dll ati3d2ag.dll atinbtxx.sys atinmdxx.sys atinpdxx.sys atinraxx.sys atinrvxx.sys atinsnxx.sys atinttxx.sys atintuxx.sys atinxbxx.sys atinxsxx.sys cdrom.sys disk.sys dxg.sys flpydisk.sys hal.dll halaacpi.dll halacpi.dll halapic.dll halmacpi.dll halmps.dll hccoin.dll hidclass.sys hidir.sys i8042prt.sys imapi.sys intelide.sys irbus.sys kbdclass.sys mrxsmb.sys mutohpen.sys ntkrnlmp.exe ntoskrnl.exe ohci1394.sys pci.sys pciidex.sys pcmcia.sys sbp2port.sys scsiport.sys serial.sys sfloppy.sys tffsport.sys usbccgp.sys usbehci.sys usbhub.sys usbohci.sys usbport.sys usbstor.sys usbuhci.sys viaide.sys wacompen.sys It seems SP1 itself adds lots of duplicates.

I made a quick and maybe dirty AHK app: FileSelectFolder, I386,,, Select I386 folder FileSelectFile, files, M3, %I386%, Select all the files comming from driver.cab Loop, parse, files, `n { StringTrimRight, A_LoopField2, A_LoopField, 1 IfExist, %I386%\%A_LoopField2%_ FileAppend, %A_LoopField%`r`n, c:\hfslipdriver.cabi386.txt FileGetSize, fsize, %I386%\%A_LoopField2%_, K size+=fsize } FileAppend, `r`nSpace lost on the CD : %size%KB`r`n, c:\hfslipdriver.cabi386.txt MsgBox, %size%KB return You need to extract driver.cab somewhere. Then, at the second dialog, enter the folder you extracted driver.cab to and select all files (ctrl+A). I have 2.2MB of duplicates in my nlited SOURCESS. NB: ntkrnlmp.exe has to be in I386. http://sharpnet.ai-network.net/camarade/duplicates.exe (don't, at least for the moment, it will go public and legal [i hope] later)
