[sETUP: XPSP2] I always get this error message whenever I install MS FrontPage 2003 with WPI: "Could not open reboot configuration file: C:\rb_config.js" after clicking "OK" another dialog box appears about runtime error in line 461 "do you wish to debug?" [YES] [NO] MS FrontPage 2003 is properly installed anyway, but the series of error messages and dialog box is breaking up "unattended" install.. Please note that I do not have this sort of "reboot" problem in RunOnceEx and WIHU methods with the same sequence of installation. This error occurs in both 5.6 and 6 versions of WPI. below is part of my config.js: -------------------------------------------------------- prog[pn]=['MS SQL Server 2000']; ordr[pn]=[100]; desc[pn]=['Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with SP4']; uid[pn]=['SQL2K']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Developer Tools']; forc[pn]=['no']; configs[pn]=['Network,Laptop']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%root%\\MS\\sql2k\\setup\\x86\\setup\\setupsql.exe")']; cmd1[pn]=['%root%\\sql2k.exe']; pn++; prog[pn]=['MS Office 2000']; ordr[pn]=[110]; desc[pn]=['Microsoft Office 2000 with SP3']; uid[pn]=['OFFICE2K']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Office']; forc[pn]=['yes']; configs[pn]=['Network,Laptop,ISM']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%root%\\MS\\office2k\\setuppro.exe")']; cmd1[pn]=['%root%\\MS\\office2k\\setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=UNATTEND.MST /qb- /wait']; rega[pn]=['%root%\\regedits\\office2k.reg']; pn++; prog[pn]=['MS Visual Studio .NET 2003']; ordr[pn]=[120]; desc[pn]=['Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003']; uid[pn]=['VSNET2K3']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Developer Tools']; forc[pn]=['no']; configs[pn]=['Network']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%root%\\MS\\vsnet2k3\\vs\\setup.exe")']; cmd1[pn]=['%root%\\vsnet2k3.exe']; pn++; prog[pn]=['MS FrontPage 2003']; ordr[pn]=[130]; desc[pn]=['Microsoft FrontPage 2003']; uid[pn]=['FP2K3']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Developer Tools']; forc[pn]=['no']; configs[pn]=['Network']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%root%\\MS\\fp2k3\\setup.exe")']; cmd1[pn]=['%root%\\MS\\fp2k3\\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=UNATTEND.MST /noreboot /qb- /wait']; rega[pn]=['%root%\\regedits\\fp2k3.reg']; pn++; prog[pn]=['MS SQL Server 2005 Express']; ordr[pn]=[140]; desc[pn]=['Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express']; uid[pn]=['SQL2K5X']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Developer Tools']; forc[pn]=['no']; configs[pn]=['Laptop,Network']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%root%\\MS\\sql2k5x\\SQLEXPR32.EXE")']; cmd1[pn]=['%root%\\sql2k5x.exe']; pn++; --------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!

First of, THANKS for the new release! One question: How to download themes in the homepage? The 'themes' page only contains links to the bigger preview...

yup, compared them with WinMerge and they are identical except for HFSLIPWU.INF.. can you please tell me what version last affected drivers?

and the 1.5.0 150.zip

here it is... thanks! rc7.zip

It's the same working folder. Like I said, I rerun RC7 and 1.5.0, alternately a couple of times, alternately installed on a real machine, and the message only comes up when I installed using 1.5.0.

I don't have U3 flashdrives. One is Seagate 160GB mobile HDD on a Transcend USB casing and the other one is a regular USB flashdrive.

can't tell, never downloaded/tried it... btw, just to be specific.. the message, of course, appears after I inserted the USB drive, not exactly after setup..

after HFSLIPed XP SP2 installation, I get message of USB drives installation and that I have to restart my computer. This happens only with 1.5.0. The last RC I used was 1.5.0 RC7, and it doesn't happen at all on exactly the same source. I tested this a couple of times to make sure, alternately using RC7 and 1.5.0. HFSLIPLOG.zip

where's you HFSLIP.LOG? anyways, please check your HFs and make sure you didn't include HFs for IE6. I made the mistake of not deleting those IE6 HFs that where in HF folder when IE7 slipstreaming was first introduced to HFSLIP...

If you want to use RyanVM's update packs, use his integrator. If you want to use HFSLIP, you need to download hotfixes yourself. you can use Tomcat's dynamic lists (link posted above) for this. I think it's pretty clear in the Basic How To of HFSLIP homepage. However, HFSLIP does support RyanVM's switchless installers (not the update pack) as mentioned in the How To. best regards!

TC, thanks for the changes and revised instructions for 923800, will test this a.m.

hello all! just want to say the latest RC runs well for XP SP2 EN...

I guess the Dynamic List will then be updated when the final is released then... it's been a great week, heh!

If you think you found the best File Manager/Windows Explorer Replacement, you should see UltraExplorer

Thanks, Tomcat.. will play on this asap. EDIT: Worked without hiccups!

@johndoe74: I know about repacking installers, or in this case, hotfixes, into switchless silent installers. I know that you could virtually install anything through switchless installers in svcpack.inf as long as the installer does not require an administrator account. what I was talking about here is automatic support in HFSLIP. It was done (automatic support) with updates that have /Q:A /R:N switches so why not with hotfixes with /quiet /norestart switches? switchless installers need constant maintenance as they need to be updated whenever newer versions of those installers come out.

I am not sure if this has been discussed before, but I don't see it in recent threads anyway. Just wondering if HFSLIP can automatically support integrating, not slipstreaming, some hotfixes via SVCPACK.INF method using /quiet /norestart [/nobackup] Doing so would enable us to integrate hotfixes that are not currently supported by HFSLIP but can be integrated via SVCPACK.INF. Presently, I put two hotfixes in SVCPACK_SW, namely WindowsXP-KB923800-x86-ENU.exe and WindowsXP-KB935448-x86-ENU.exe. KB923800 isn't handled yet by HFSLIP, I believe, and KB935448 although seems to be sliptreamed properly with all concerned files being updated, I still receive complains from WU as I explained in this thread. Of course, SVCPACK.INF method works with those hotfixes. But, of course, after putting those hotfixes in SVCPACK_SW, I still have to edit svcpack.inf manually to change the switches from /Q:A /R:N to /quiet /norestart [/nobackup]. I know it's not that of a big deal, but it would certainly save me a few steps and time, since I use the CD/DVD burning feature of HFSLIP. And now, since I still have to edit svcpack.inf after initial run by HFSLIP, I have to run HFSLIP again to make ISO and burn. What if we have and additional folder, say HF_SW, for hotfixes to be integrated into svcpack.inf using the appropriate switches? And maybe IE7 can also be place there if a user prefers it to be installed via SVCPACK. Also, this feature can useful for new hotfixes that might not be supported by HFSLIP at the moment but can be integrated via svcpack.inf, at least, temporarily until HFSLIP can support handle/slipstream such hotfixes.

Castlecops HIPS review current version is 0.6.6: Very light in terms of resource usage and stable too. I use it in combo with SSM (System Safety Monitor) Free Edition and you're pretty much covered. @DigeratiPrime: Were you able to run WinPooch as a SERVICE successfully?

Tomcat, can you please display those hotfixes listed in post #1 normally, instead of in a list box? it's more screen/printer-friendly.. btw, I HFSLIPstream the following HFs without problem: 883517 883523 884575 884868 885855 885894 889315 894686 896613

tested the latest test release, and kb931768 slipstreaming now works. big thanks!

Thanks Tomcat! trying it now...

Tomcat, problem is with the Roots Certificate Update. The Advpack.dll that is in it is the one being slipstreamed instead of the newer one included in KB931768. Update: Still didn't slipstream kb931768, even without Roots Certificate Update. Maybe the problem really is with kb931768 itself. I tried slipstreaming just IE7 and it's hotfixes again and it's not taking kb931768 (I didn't really check the first time. I just thought it went fine cause I didn't see the error I mentioned in the first post).
