Good work! Looking promising, I can work on a Vista logonui and maybe winntbbu if you're interested.

@ the_guy Surely if Microsoft saw these as vulnerabilities in a standard XP system they would have released the hotfixes for all XP flavours?

I'm also encountering this error. Which is also present in the newest test release of HFSLIP. The error seems to only occur after I've added personal reg tweak files and or batch tweaks.. I'm in the process of narrowing down what tweak maybe causing the issue, I don't believe this is an HFSLIP problem.

Just tried the newest release... works fine after all... ooops

@Super-Magician If thats the case it's not working correctly for me.

O I see... Isn't there a way for HFSLIP to mark whether wmfdist95.exe is already present and if it is, then replace it with the one from KB900325 If it isn't then del it after HFSLIP is finished? Thanks for changing the CAPITAL stuff!

I wish it was....

If the bootscreen file supported more colours than it does then by all means I would have already re-created one. But as it is so limited I still feel the original ones are the best looking.

When hotfix WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325-usa is extracted. wmfdist95.exe is not deleted at the end of install from the HF folder. Also, one request... Could the MEDIACTR, TABLETPC, NETFX, SONIC, I386 folders and cabs be renamed using all caps when being recreated/recabbed?

Just to point out, I did have my SOURCE folder setup correctly. I've got it to work, I think maybe things I do to my install after HFSLIP may cause it to break (ie: Nlite) I ran a test install, only using HFSLIP, Its perfect! And it even means users will no longer need to install NET 1.0 SP3! Something does break the install, but I don't think its a problem with HFSLIP but possibly Nlite. I think when nlite edits the files it may possibly remove information added by HFSLIP to the TXTSETUP file. I'm going to keep trying until I find out what exactly causes the install to break and will report it to all.

Setup pauses and never recovers on Registering components T-12 Part. When Slipstreaming KB900325 into MCE.

Apologies All! Download links have been updated to point to the correct files now. Happy New Year!

Adding an update pack... How on earth would that fix my problem!?

My Registry Tweaks file implements all of the tweaks you have just mentioned. But the order they come out on my PC is... My Computer Internet Explorer My Documents Is there another method or a reason someone knows of that this happens?

My Registry Tweaks file that is implemented at T-13 enables the following three icons by default for the Desktop... Internet Explorer, My Documents and My Computer. However, after install they don't appear in the order I would like them. Does anyone know a way to make these three icons appear a particular order on the Desktop? Be very greatful, thanks!

I've added my own font binarys to my reg tweak, but they dont implement until a reboot, Which was very similar to a problem many users encountered with visual effects. Beings as nlite found a way to implement custom visual effects and get them working on first boot. Could maybe an option be added to choose system display fonts? This would be a great tweak imo!

BUMP

Its a problem caused by Boogy's Media Player 11 addon for nlite.

All Users doesnt work for quick launch.

I do indeed copy at runonce, but I've added them to $OEM$ - $Docs - Default User - Application Data - Microsoft - Internet Explorer - Quick Launch There are 4 shortcuts, IE Show Desktop Windows Media Player Media Center If I create a new user all show up but Windows Media Player, even though it is present in that folder. My batch is copied to startup at T-13 then ran on first system startup. The batch copies all shortcuts from the default users quick launch folder to the current users quick launch folder. But only IE, desktop and Media center show up, even though the Media Player shortcut is actually present in the folder! I'll try copying them at T-13.

Merry Christmas all... My quick launch icons copy fine on first boot, however not all of them show up on the actual taskbar unless I restart, logoff or do anything that will refresh the taskbar... I've checked the actual Quick Launch folder and the shortcuts are there but just not appearing on the taskbar! Any ideas? Cheers

Here is my ini file... BTW, the automatic updates service does actually work, but only if u restart. Keeping outlook express makes it on first boot.

I use nlite to remove numerous components But noticed Automatic Updates service wont start until a restart after the first boot. I decided to narrow down what component was causing this and found it to be Outlook Express. Is there a shared file possibly that is removed when outlook express is removed that Automatic Updates could use? Appreciate some help on this, as I don't want to keep Outlook Express in my installation, and I don't want to have to restart my machine after first boot to get things to work.

Create a new account Complete configure the account to how you would like it setup for all future accounts Restart and log in on another account. Copy the file NTUSER.DAT from the account you just configure (<Hard Drive>Documents and Settings\<NewUser>) to the Default User directory (<HardDrive>Documents and Settigns\Default User) Now everytime you create a new profile it will have all of the settings you just specified!

Ok basically... I install Media center and MCE updates on my Pro machine from CMDLINES.TXT "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf" "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf" "Install\windowsXP-KB891593-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" "Install\windowsXP-KB895961-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" "Install\windowsXP-KB899337-v2-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" "Install\windowsXP-KB899510-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" "Install\windowsXP-KB888795-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" "Install\windowsXP-KB902841-x86.exe /quiet /norestart" A batch script also runs from CMDLINES.TXT that adds updates to be run from RunOnceEx REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx" /v TITLE /D "Windows Setup" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001" /VE /D "Windows XP Media Center Updates" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001" /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\Install\KB900325.exe /quiet /norestart" REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001" /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\Install\WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB925766-ENU.exe /quiet /norestart" REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001" /V 3 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\Install\WindowsXP-KB912024-v2-x86-ENU.exe /quiet /norestart" If you install .NET Framework 2.0 on this first boot Media Center won't work until you restart... I have found a way around this eliminating the restart. I do not have the Error message, and since I've solved my problem im not going to reinstall to deliberatly get the message. I can however if someone has this problem aswel supply the commands to make MCE work without the restart.
