i'm afraid i need some more detailed instructions on how to MANUALY update from 1.01 to 1.01a I downloaded the file from your page "RVMUpdatePack1.01aFull.cab", and when i extract it, there seem to be a LOT of files...is this the update or the full version? I also see another cab inside called "RVMUpPck.cab".... what do i do? Maybe you should try READING the page. And if you managed to CLICK that link, you'd have seen:

Glad to hear the problem's gone.

I just tested it here and it ran fine. I ran it from a batch file called by GuiRunOnce. ECHO Installing MSN Messenger 6.2.0137... start /wait %CDROM%\Updates\apps\MsnMsgs.msi /qb-!

Version 1.0.1a is now out. Fixes in it are a correction on the date issue and CMDOW was added to the Lite pack (I kind of forgot that both packs rely on it ). 1.0.1-->1.0.1a upgrade packs can be downloaded from the changelog page. They are much smaller and easier on my bandwidth. Please download them if you're already using 1.0.1. They can be extracted straight into i386 with no other modifications required.

I'm building a CD with MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 right now. We'll see how it goes.

I'll add it to my ISO just for kicks and try to install it from GuiRunOnce as well. We'll see how it goes.

Here's a link if you want to try that: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ Also, forum rules state that you cannot cross post between forums. Please don't. Besides, don't post questions in irrelevant forums. This post is completely irrelevant to the "Application Switches" section.

If you're using the English version, here's a switchless installer for 6.0.2 (only 15MB too): http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/

erm, I posted that idea. Ah well, glad to see we found something that works for everyone. Stupid discrepancies between versions

What are you trying to install? I install quite a few apps from GuiRunOnce that use the Windows Installer service and they all work fine. And now that we have confirmation on the date thing, it'll be in the next release. And on the download front - HOLY HELL. I've used 5GB of bandwidth in three days and there's been a total of nearly 700 downloads between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1!!! Glad to see you guys like it

Glad you like it

http://www.ryanvm.net/killspyware/unmsjvm.exe Run that with regular /Q:A /R:N switches. It'll remove all traces of the MS JVM from your system.

Well, it's quite possible that the English version is the exception (I wouldn't have known that since it's the version I use ). It's also quite irrelevant. If -10 works for all instances, then we're set. Can some people using XP languages other than English confirm that for me? In a command prompt, type in echo %DATE:~-10%and post the results.

Windows File Protection changed it back to the original version. You need overwrite both the one in system32 and dllcache in order for it to stick. (Or just use my pack ) Your pack seems to be for fresh installs. I don't want to install XP again, I just want to turn off WFP. I don't see why it can't be done after everything is installed. Can someone please give me instructions to disable WFP using this sfc_os.dll? What registry entries must I change and to what? I just told you

Also, a little bird on my shoulder tells me a new version of nLite supporting my pack is coming soon

Yeah, as long as the entries are in the correct section, it doesn't matter where in the section they are.

The problem I see is that with the English version, DATE /T (or %DATE%) returns "Sun 10/10/2004" while for non-English versions, it doesn't put the day in front. Doing %DATE:~-10% fixes that because it takes the last 10 characters which appear to be the same for all languages.

First off, why are you adding the txtsetup.sif entries to dosnet.inf??? Second, yes, the dosnet.inf entries are fine there, but REMOVE THE TXTSETUP.SIF ENTRIES.

Looks like -10 is a winner then. Hopefully we can get a few more people to confirm it for their languages. If it's confirmed, then I'll include it in the next release. (Thankfully, it's really not a big deal since most hotfixes just leave the key blank anyway )

this question was answered earlier: Yeah, the easiest way is to look for the registry entries window to pop up during setup, or to run qfecheck (included in the full pack) or Windows Update.

Installing a newer version of Flash won't hurt at all. Again, all this pack does is update the version already on the CD (6.0.79.0) to the latest (7.0.19.0). I've looked into adding Shockwave as well, but that's considerably more complex than Flash and would add a lot of size to the pack. In other words, don't count on it . Correct I don't see why not. Hell, it could be used with a standard non-unattended install CD the way it's set up to run Yes. Both would be a lot more difficult to add and would increase the package size greatly (not to mention that Journal Viewer is useless for 99% of people ). Weird, it works fine for me here (I get a normal DD/MM/YYYY date in the registry as I'm sure every other English user gets), I wonder if different languages are affected differently. Regardless, I'll make the switch if that works the same on all versions. EDIT: In fact, this is what I get when I use yours vs. mine: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>echo %DATE:~0,6%%DATE:~-2% Sun 1004 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>echo %DATE:~4,14% 10/10/2004 EDIT2: Do me a favor and see if %DATE:~-10% works for you. This is what it gives me: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>echo %DATE:~-10% 10/10/2004

hah, I've already used 2GB of transfer in the last two days too Good thing I've got 20GB/month. Something tells me that once the initial demand dies down, things will be fine. Being able to release incremental updates will also help, since people won't have to download a whole 4-5MB file when they only need like 150KB of new files.

, keep dreaming

why? is it a different program? did microsoft change something? what do those commands do, anyway? (i got the original code from this website...) Try reading the page
