Tomcat76

The other day, for testing purposes, I wanted to remove WMP10 (slipstreamed into Windows XP with HFSLIP) and install WMP8. This method worked for me in the past when WMP9 was integrated through a Service Pack: 1) RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %WINDIR%\INF\wmp.inf,Uninstall 2) Clear dllcache 3) Install WMP8. In the WFP window, click Cancel at the prompt to insert the WinXP installation CD and then OK to the prompt to keep things as they are. Now, I'm already stuck at the first step. When inserting that command into a Run box and pressing Enter, a DOS box appears but quickly disappears and nothing happens. Doesn't HFSLIP modify wmp.inf or am I doing something wrong?

This is how I'd do it... @echo off net user "Oleg 2" z /add net localgroup Administrators "Oleg 2" /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]>>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg echo "AutoAdminLogon"="1">>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg echo "DefaultPassword"="">>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg echo "DefaultUserName"="Oleg 2">>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg echo "ForceAutoLogon"="1">>%SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg regedit -s %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg exit (edited; forgot to include AutoAdminLogon)

It was meant to be used inside Squeeto's batch file (as a replacement for the logon.reg file); %UserName% is defined in there. But he's using Windows 2000 and REG.EXE is not included by default so my version wouldn't work for him unless he added REG.EXE to his source. The first two lines in the code box of "my code" are already defined in the code box of Squeeto's code. Why not just add the third line to Squeeto's code and ditch mine? @echo "AutoAdminLogon"="1">> %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg

You could try making a silent/switchless installer out of UPHClean. I've also just added support for it in the "MultiCompiler". Whether it will work is another thing. A service is being added and I don't know if that's possible to do from SVCPACK... I've never tried it.

Good thread. I especially like the last tweak -- I didn't know about that one. Here's a few of the tweaks I do myself... I hope it's OK to post them here. ; Disable some sounds, and associate the Recycle Bin with "recycle.wav" (why did they put it on "ding.wav"?)

CDIMAGE.EXE compresses more by putting each file only once in the ISO; for identical files, it just creates multiple entries in the TOC. mkisofs can do this too if you use the dfl addon, but the HFSLIP tutorial doesn't mention it so I'm sticking with CDIMAGE.

@Squeeto: OK... Misunderstanding there. Add this line, then: @echo "ForceAutoLogon"="1">> logon.reg If you don't include it, Windows 2000 will logon automatically only once.

What went wrong then?

You're absolutely right. I forgot... But what's the difference? Isn't HFSLIP putting back the SP4 version of webvw.dll (the only one that works properly)?

What about creating a silent installer and having it installed via SVCPACK? 1) Download the Maxthon Compiler, extract it to a folder of choice (using 7-zip or WinRAR) and read howto.txt for instructions; they're in English and in French. (Téléchargez "Maxthon Compiler" et enlevez le contenu de cette archive dans un nouveau dossier (utilisant 7-zip ou WinRAR). Suivez les instructions dans le fichier "howto.txt"; j'éspère qu'ils sont au moins compréhensibles ) 2) Make a folder called SVCPACK inside I386. Copy the silent installer into SVCPACK. (Crééz un dossier nommé SVCPACK dans le dossier I386. Copiez le programme d'installation silencieux dans SVCPACK.) 3) Delete SVCPACK.IN_ from I386 and create a new file SVCPACK.INF with this: (Enlevez le fichier "SVCPACK.IN_" de I386 et crééz un nouveau fichier appelé "SVCPACK.INF" contenant le suivant:) [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="i386\SVCPACK" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [SetupHotfixesToRun] maxthon.exe If you're using the Combo package, change "maxthon.exe" to "maxthonc.exe" under [setupHotfixesToRun]. (Si Maxthon Combo est utilisé au lieu de Maxthon Standard, remplacez "maxthon.exe" avec "maxthonc.exe" sous [setupHotfixesToRun]).

KB900725 comes with webvw.dll?

It just occured to me that I posted this in the wrong forum. I was talking about Windows XP...

This comes from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=24277. If you're using winnt.sif, add IEAccess = Off under the [Components] section. Else, use something to pause the batch file for a while; e.g.: PING 127.0.0.1 -n 9

You aren't using ForceAutoLogon so I assume you're working with XP only. In that case, replace the above with the below; it'll save you 7 bytes... REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /d %UserName% /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /d 1 /f

We all know that. But where's the relevancy with his actual question?

Yeah; half of the space is now taken up by the Framework... I think it's ridiculous. I only need .NET 1.1 for SoundForge 8 (which I need because it can save audio files in the QMusic Design format, which in turn allows me to ditch QuickTime Pro in favor of QuickTime Alternative) so it's actually a waste of space. ATi does the right thing for its Catalyst drivers by providing two versions of the program: one with and one without .NET requirement.

@Shark007: I've re-read Ghosty's post a few times but fail to see where he's asking for support for warez. He has trouble integrating a Windows hotfix and MSI files, of which we don't know if they've been acquired legitimately or not. But I guess that just flew right past you.

2007-02-01: • updated Roots Certificate Update link 2007-01-11: • added KB920213, KB927977, KB927978, KB923980, KB924270, KB926121, KB926247, KB925398, KB925454, KB929969, KB923694 and KB923689 • added optional KB928388 and KB917275 • changed DX9 April '06 redist link to DX9 Dec '06 redist • removed KB890046, KB925672, KB925673, KB918899, KB925486 and KB911567 • updated link to page with SP slipstreaming instructions • updated texts Notes about HFSLIP The description of new updates is colored differently. Updates that are currently only handled in a test release of HFSLIP are colored differently. Starting with version 60421, the HFSVPK and HFSVPK_SW are called HFSVCPACK and HFSVCPACK_SW respectively. HFSLIP will automatically rename the folders if they still have the old name. As of version 60129, you can let HFSLIP slipstream Service Pack 4 into the Windows 2000 source you provide in the SOURCE folder. Please read the instructions carefully. All individual updates mentioned on this page are optional. However, the Windows 2000 source must be patched to Service Pack 4 (either by yourself or by HFSLIP) regardless of the updates you include, and you must add the Post-SP4 Update Rollup (KB891861) if you wish to slipstream Internet Explorer 6. For some components (should you wish to include these), the necessary files are marked. LegitCheckControl.cab, the DX9 CABS and the MSIE6 CABS go in HFCABS. All other updates go in HF. Note from TommyP HFSLIP concentrates on critical updates and not optional ones reported by Windows Update. Note for non-English Windows 2000 users There's an issue with the non-English versions of "webvw.dll" present in the Update Rollup, KB894320 (superseded) and KB900725. This is patched as of HFSLIP 60121 but I thought you might wanna know what's going on. I've tested this thing extensively, and my conclusion is that localized versions of webvw.dll that are present in these hotfixes are corrupt or at least have a corrupt registration section. When either of these files is registered, and you didn't disable the "left pane" in folders, you'll be bombarded with JavaScript error messages when you're trying to browse your local network through "Computers Near Me". Why doesn't this happen when installing the hotfixes by hand? Because the localized versions of these hotfixes don't register the webvw.dll file they contain. They just overwrite the previous version that resides in the system32 folder and let the registry believe the SP4 version is still installed. As a test, install a clean version of Windows 2000 with SP4, and install IE6 too if you want. Then install either one of these hotfixes. All is still fine at this point. Now open up a Run prompt and type in the following: regsvr32 /u webvw.dll Hit Enter and click OK at the message that appears. This unregisters the SP4 version of webvw.dll. Now open up the Run prompt again and type in the following: regsvr32 webvw.dll Press Enter and click OK. You just registered the new version of webvw.dll. Now try browsing your network through "Computers Near Me"... (PM me for instructions on how to fix it again) The English versions of the newer webvw.dll files are registered, but the versions for other languages are not. It's impossible MS are not aware of the webvw.dll problem, otherwise they wouldn't have "blocked" the registration process. I just wish they'd fix this once and for all...

I'm wondering if there exists a reg hack with which it's possible to let Windows Update believe that Windows Messenger 4.7 is still installed after removing it. I know one can customize the display of individual optional hotfixes on Windows Update, but I'm after a registry tweak (or file tweak).

For those who use(d) my list... The link to the download page of KB904706 (Vulnerability in DirectShow) was for a version that's only intended to be applied on Windows XP with Service Pack 1. The new download link is for the version which is intended for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 as well. Windows Update didn't complain when integrating the "wrong" version of the update, but HFNETCHK would claim that the version of quartz.dll is less than expected.

It's fixed now. The error should be clear from what I wrote: I installed the English version of the update on a Dutch Windows XP... Thanks for the reply, though.

KB909520 is considered not installed by Windows Update. "Windows-KB909520-v1.000-x86-ENU.exe" is in HF (confirmed by ERROR_REPORT.TXT) "basecsp.cat" is in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK "basecsp.CAT" is referred to in SVCPACK.INF HFNETCHK doesn't see a problem (at least not with this update).

That did the trick. I was using 51115. Thanks.
