i think that after integrating ie7, if we again integrate 928090 it gives lot of prob during installation. anyway i found a solution for this without needing to fiddle with the source files. see my post above yours.

im not used to vbs scripting. can u elaborate more on how to use it.

oh yes. i too use method2 and as u can see in my RunOnceEx, the entry 0017 is empty and i add finisher to that entry from the dp base. RunOnceEx executes dp-finisher completely no matter how much time and only then it executes the following list of entries. If u want to execute the finisher urself, choose 'custom' when selecting the finisher method in dpbase. then add the following line in ur cmd file : "%systemroot%\DPsFnshr.exe ". in case if u want to modify ur distribution already slipstreamed with dp, 1) open cmdlines.txt and remove the line "ROE.exe <RunOnceEx entry order>". 2) manually specify the entry %systemroot%\DPsFnshr.exe (this file is extracted to %systemroot% already during installation) in the cmd file whereever u want.

my solution posted at http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...amp;st=40

i do appreciate ur effort on this. or anyone's effort with regard to solving a problem and i understand and honour the efforts as i do mine. The point is i actually put my hands on this problem from the date feb patches are released. this has solved just today and i wanted to share with u all. i certainly get ur copy to add to my disc and check and rather use it later just to minimise and keep my routines simple.

ok here is the code. spent testing it all the daytime and finally got it posted. kindly post ur suggestions. I found some characters in my code are modified by the codebox so im attaching the files. it would contain more entries pertaining to my installations which u can always ignore them and verify just what u were looking for. All i do here is after RunOnceEx, restart - install ie7 - restart - install KB928090 - restart - continue using RunOnceEx. I purposely wanted user profile to be created after first time RunOnceEx is run and so i run ie7 after restarting as im worried of ie7 messing up with quicklaunch. Full contents of RunOnceEx.cmd is shown just to mention the application installs happens in normal way. Just note the entry no:0050.

ok. I HAVE DONE IT without any glitch. The only thing i assumed was : 1) Installing KB928090 will reclaim the RunOnceEx seized by IE7. (and thats right. thats one of the purpose this patch meant for) 2) If this patch is installed silently anyhow, i can proceed with using RunOnceEx normally. Problems which I considered : 1) IE7 must atleast be already installed in order to apply the patches. u can apply thru svcpack.inf but u have to integrate ie7 with xp which gives the problems 1,2,3 as below. 2) If u use RunOnceEx to install the patches, ie7 must be already installed which would already have seized RunOnceEx. So keeping all the above in mind, i have setup my own method of installing and just now i tested sucessfully after many many tries. my only problem was 'what to execute where' which just got solved. The following is the result of following my way of installation : 1) All ms files (ie7.exe and the patches) are used as is and individually in its original form. No modification or replacement of files in the original ms source files is required. 2) prevent dissappearance of quicklaunch icons in xp created by integrating ie7 using nlite. 3) prevent xp not creating quicklaunch icons for new users ( in the xp integrated with ie7 using nlite). 4) prevent the dissappearance of status dialogs when using the flag specified in the forum. now u can see as usual, whats happening during RunOnceEx execution. 5) Everything with ie7 works well and good, no compromise or loosing something for the other to work well. All u have to do is watch the xp restart max 3 times in order to complete the process successfully. waiting for 5-10 extra minutes is nothing compared to the time taken by all of us individually from our respective locations spending all these time on this. And also it is a one-time job so no botherations. My only point was not to alter the source files and use as is. ALL I HAVE DONE IS USING 'RunOnceEx' AND 'Run' very effectively in the right way. I would post my code this evening as i am testing for second time(and may require 1-2 more installations to confirm). And also im trying to reduce the no. of restarts(from 3 to 2, eventhough i dont bother abt it).

ok i just found out that fsupdate doesnt work with CS-7. It says some features cannot be updated as you are using version7. I have modified my post to fsupdate2.exe

i assume that microsoft's release of KB928090 will correct the seizure of RunOnceEx by IE7. With this in mind, i would trying some other way of installing it silently whatever it takes. Till now my ways are consuming much of the time. would get back as soon as i get it work (or fail). why in hell cant they release corrected 7.1 version. Using Tabs in IE7 is the worst part in my life, if i want IE to hang, i press any of the tab. @SRJ : did u get it thru the problem? oh yes. the status dialogs cant be seen if the flag is inserted. After the restart, the flag itself is not seen in the registry and second RunOnceEx is not working.

by default, it would install with 'locally managed standalone application' during silent install. kindly check with the Step-4 and verify they are entered correctly. are u using non-english version? If u do so, modify the SilentModePluginsLang entry in [silent Setup] accordingly. u can find the available languages option in [F-Secure common]. I have just reformatted the explaination in step-4. kindly go through it again. kindly post any issues.

@chon : there is no syntax error as u specified to Muki. But i get the same error. as i said, after i restart twice it was working. but i noticed only on the latest testing. i didnt test again to verify it. @muki : kindly post ur result after the syntax correction? @neo-matrix : there are 2 versions of KB929969. One for XP SP2 (under affected software) and another for IE 7 (under affected components). You must download the one for IE 7. I dont know the difference between the two but both are present in the download page. may be the first one is for non-ie7 xp. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms07-004.mspx

RunOnceEx2 is not running when it is supposed to run. i just noticed that after i did a manual restart again, it executed and the IE7 patches got installed. kindly try restarting again and give the feedback. i manually restarted but i wanted to know if automatic restart is given again, does it work?

muki is true. automatic import of RunOnceEx2 doesnt work and also no Flag entry is seen except the installation registry entries. When i manually run the RunOnceEx2.cmd to import and restart, its working. what is the solution for automated execution? i use - REG ADD %KEY% /V Flags /T REG_DWORD /D 128 /F. Must i try Chon's syntax or both are same?

make me happy with feedback on how it worked...

i tried with few other computer and same problem persisted. i wonder how it installed in my computer (xp) with no issues. but in my computer, on win2003 it gave me the same 3dmenueffects.dll problem. does anyone has the solution?

i just checked the website and what u said is true. But this is Client Security 7. According to the site, both fsupdate and fsupdate2 work with FS-CS7. It says - FSUpdate/FSUpdate2 work with all F-Secure Anti-Virus products for Windows, but are not recommended except when there is a problem with the recommended updating methods. As this is unattended installation, updating using fsupdate/fsupdate2 makes the virus definitions uptodate. here is the link for fsupdate2. ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/anti-virus/updates/fsupdate2.exe

i use a cmd file for this purpose. how i use can be understood by going thru the file. STARTMENU.CMD

if a patch is slipstreamed, it cant be removed

download latest wu6, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264 and use the switch /wuforce /quiet /norestart. For best results, use RunOnceEx(also for installing ie7 updates). ie7 installation without problems which arouse previously : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=93061#

this post by HossyBldr saved me hours of testing. Now i would include everything but KB931836.exe and see whether the error "setup cannot set the required configuration......" still persists. Nuhi by the way give me a favour by checking whether the contents of the site http://bsnl.co.in is displayed in your (nlited-hope so) xp.... or anyone who has nlited xp installed. plz.

i get similar issue in wu many a times. what i do is add those patches in RunOnceEx and will not include them to nlite.

nuhi, none of the webpage content can be seen in the browser at all. that is indian govt's telephone dept website.

will note ur response Jancm. nuhi - apart from this, not a relevant one but i always wanted to ask u why http://bsnl.co.in cant open in the nlited distibution. i have this problem for ages and with all distributions made with several versions of nlite. i used many browsers, many types of internet(dialup to 2mbps bb). With non-nlited xps it just opens fine.

its not with NLA as i have the same problem and i dont remove anything with nlite. i also checked NLA is running. i also tried network setup wizard.

it is definitely with one of feb07 coz i tested few times and ascertained. im trying to single out the problematic fix and integrate the rest.
