Thanks. This does it. I'll unleash it in the next test release

Just a little heads up... We're not there yet... I upgraded the WMP11 executable a few days ago; a newer version was released of which the latest binaries are dated November 2nd. The one I was using till then contained binaries last updated on October 19th. This upgrade fixed some problems, but an important one still remains: the post-setup wizard is broken. Right before the flying Windows animation is supposed to start an error dialog with these details comes up: Title: msoobe.exe - Application Error Message: The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812a5b. The only site with more info on this error related to msoobe.exe is a Japanese forum It seems that one or more of the WMP11 core files are responsible for this, but not the new files like wmpeffects.dll; the problem is to be found among the files which already exist in the original Windows source.

The trick with reg.exe didn't work for me. The file got updated but I got a blue screen during Windows setup: 0x00000067 (0x00000004,0x00000008,0x00000000,0x00000000) CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED This is the code I used: COPY SOURCE\I386\SETUPREG.HIV SOURCESS\I386 HFTOOLS\REG load HKLM\HFSLIP %PREP%SOURCESS\I386\SETUPREG.HIV HFTOOLS\REG add HKLM\HFSLIP\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters /v EnableBigLba /t reg_dword /d 00000001 HFTOOLS\REG unload HKLM\HFSLIP DEL/Q/F SOURCESS\I386\*.LOG Maybe it is necessary to do this in ControlSet001. Would be the first time, though...

It's quite easy; see these: Critical updates for MSIE6 and Critical update for MSIE6 when NOT slipstreaming the latest Windows Script 5.6

Thumbnail display is broken and there are no graphics in the User Accounts dialog window. If I can't fix this, I'll let HFSLIP integrate the IE7 installer into SVCPACK. I'm a bit too busy now, though, so it'll have to wait.

Just a sec... I'll check it out. Edit: It isn't. The [Product.Add.Reg] would be executed but not the [ProcessesToRunBeforeArchive] section which seems to be doing quite a bit as well.

I don't know anything about that so I can't really help, but have you tried running your script from within the HFSLIP folder?

HFSLIP version? And which "software" are you slipstreaming?

Which version of HFSLIP are you using? The changelog for HFSLIP version 1.1.0 mentions the introduction of IE7 slipstreaming on XPSP2.

Which version of HFSLIP are you using? The changelog for HFSLIP version 1.1.0 mentions corrections for KB922760 for IE6 on Win2K.

Please read my previous post in this thread, as well as the full changelog and my dynamic hotfix list (in case you're using that). All of those will tell you what's needed for the new OPUC4.CAB to be supported. HFSLIP version 1.0.4rc5 was a release candidate. The current stable version that came after that is 1.1.0.

I can't confirm mlang.dll is part of the IE7 package, and it's the reason for my doubts. Has it been renamed?

I'll check it out. More and more files in the IE7 package seem to be "broken" one way or another. No wonder MS silently re-released it and I'm sure they'll do it again.

Doesn't work for me. Problems start after I press the "Agree" button, but it's not HFSLIP-related. Test 1: HFSLIPped Win2K in a VM... I get a blue screen followed by a pop-up mentioning an "unrecoverable processor error" Test 2: Win2K regular install (not HFSLIPped)... System reboots automatically

It's supported. I don't mind putting it on my XPSP2 list as an optional update if it appears on Windows Update for some languages, but I'd first like to know if it's still needed for IE7...

HFSLIP calls the RunOnceEx process from IE7's iernonce.dll at T-13. What I can do is rename the IE6 version to ie6ronce.dll and call the RunOnceEx process from that file instead. Would that work for you?

You need modifype.exe in HFTOOLS. But I see why you never knew this: HFSLIP only alerts you for a missing modifype.exe if you use the HFEXPERT feature. Thanks.

Already the case. It's under "Critical update for MSIE6 when NOT slipstreaming the latest Windows Script 5.6" here and is removed from the dynamic list when selecting IE7...

Nearly forgot about this post... Thanks, Martin

K... Thanks

Suuure...

Heh... Oops...

Do you mind adding KB902400? Also, KB911280 is at v2. Will you be adding MPSetup.exe to this list?

November 7 too. That's the one I tested... You guys are making it sound like I get the updates before they are released... Edit: Oops... I can see the confusion. I meant to say that not ALL binaries that were updated in the XP version got updated in the 2K3 version in November.

Where? I used both Minefield and Opera to download them again and the latest binaries are still from November 7. The 11-7 re-release (for XP) made me make IE7 slipstreaming public since it fixes severe slipstreaming problems...
