Bugs Bunny

So thank you very much TommyP for helping to fix this!

Tomcat76 thanks a lot! I've finished installing w2k with the new HFSLIP and started windows update and the update message does not appear any more. Problem fixed!

Thanks Tomcat76 - there is no pause and the windows title says repacking DRIVER.CAB - so everything ok there. I've investigated the "update issue" further. I removed the dotnet silent installer but the update message still was there. The next step was to use the same fileset (even including dotnet and HFEXPERT) but with an older version of HFSLIP (HFSLIP_60107.CMD) - the one I used in January where I got no message. The old version with the new LegitCheckControl.cab gave me a file not found in the initial setup process but otherwise installed fine. To my surprise after finishing the installation when I entered Windows update I did not get the message. And all the updates are installed fine with the older version of HFSLIP - MBSA2 says no updates missing. I access via start menu - Start - Windows Update. Maybe I now can compare the sourcess folder generated by the 2 versions of HFSLIP and look if I can find any difference that could be causing the update message.

Just finished the test and got the update message again now without the HFEXPERT included. Now the only other probable thing could be the DotNet1.1 (silent installer) I included, that I did not use in the old january set. Tomorrow I will continue testing. What I noticed as well is that in the newer version of HFSLIP there is kind of a pause after the last file "Work\I386E\winsrv.dll 1 file copied" And before the "packing" of the "3.435 files" There was nothing goining on for some time so I pressed enter - it continued after that but I'm not sure if it was the enter or the "pause" just finished by itself.

I now made a test install with my old january set (wihout the WU Catalog and Office Update) and the update message did not appear. Used HFSLIP_60107.CMD so I had the same as back then. Now I will try the set from yesterday but without the HFEXPERT (WU Catalog and Office Update) folder. Maybe this has got something to do with it. Will report back later.

Well I'm not sure if it is necessary in general now or only because I changed some things in the HFSLIP folders. Maybe it is because I added the HFEXPERT - WU Catalog and Office Update like it's in Tomcats list. Tomorrow I can use my old HFSLIP setup and have a look if the message appears again. If so maybe this update should be included. Filedate of muweb.dll is 26.05.2005 - so it seems to be older.

I made a new W2k (german) HFSLIP install CD with the february updates included. I used the files that Tomcats site suggests (selected nearly all -MSXML6 -Update for W2k Server). http://tomcat76.open-theweb.net/pages/winup/_win2k.html The first time I started Windows Update (that opens IE) first there was the check if the update software is up to date and there came the message that I should download an update. In the "Downloaded Program Files" MUWebControl Class got added. In the file info there was a link: http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdat...b?1140035921412 the cab contains: muweb.dll muweb.cat muweb.inf -> Microsoft Update muweb.dll ActiveX control Did I forget something or has anyone got a similar thing? I did not get this message before. This time I left out the following updates: IE6.0sp1-KB896688-Windows-2000-XP-x86-DEU.exe Windows2000-KB893066-v2-x86-DEU.EXE Windows2000-KB894320-x86-DEU.EXE Windows2000-KB894391-x86-DEU.EXE Windows2000-KB899588-x86-DEU.EXE Windows2000-KB899591-x86-DEU.EXE WindowsMedia9-KB885492-x86-DEU.exe that I previously had put into the HF folder -> Tomcats update site did not list these any more. Could one of these HF that I left out be the cause?

@Gedrean: You could follow the instructions here: http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread.php?id=25442 Scroll down to the post of zen69x The thread is about XP but it just works fine for Windows 2000 as well. I've integrated an adaptec U320 SCSI controller and now it works just fine for me without having to press F6. This method works only for mass storage controllers I think. I've tried Oleg II's method for a gf2_mx videocard driver and it gave me an error - one like Tomcat76 described. I'm not using FDV's file set. For me I got no success with Oleg II's method - maybe it only works with FDV's file set.

Thanks Tomcat76 - the classic skin works fine now. In step 5 I must have somehow overlooked the "HFSVPK Directory" headline and thus put it into HFSVPK_SW before... As soon as I have some time I'll test your silent installer for User Profile Hive Cleanup Service. HFSLIP_51218 seems to contain scrips for MS Base Smart Card HF / User Profile Hive Cleanup Service but does not seem to work.

@ Tomacat76: Yes I'm still interested and I already downloaded the MultiCompiler a few days ago. I wanted to start with something simple: Classic Skin for WMP9 (I don't like the new skins very much). I've got the WMPCskin.exe out of the MultiCompiler process. Then I tested the WMPCskin.exe - it created me the skin in the %Program Files%\Windows Media Player\Skins\ -> worked fine. I then put the WMPCskin.exe into HFSVPK_SW and ran HFSLIP and created an install CD. After doing a test install the classic skind did not get created like it should Don't know what went wrong I had no time to test the Base Smart Card update yet.

Maybe this could be of interest: Adding a driver Scroll down to the post of zen69x The thread is about XP but it just works fine for Windows 2000 as well. I was sick of the F6 for my Adaptec U320 controller since I do not want to have a floppy drive installed. Found this some time ago and it works just perfectly for me.

Thanks for your additions - found some things in your additions that are very useful to me. If someone has some more things to add here, please feel free. Tomacat76 I've seen some reg values that are in the HKEY_Current_User part of the registry. If these values get set by HFSLIP do they work? I was thinking during setup there is no current user. Will these values be stored in the administrators registry (the first real user that is created - not counting all users and default user)? BTW had a typo in the topic - useful with ll but it seems that it's not possible to change the topic title afterwards - maybe a moderator is able to change it?

Thank's a lot Tomcat76 as soon as I have some free time I have to test your "MultiCompiler" - it can integrate some very useful things. Meanwile I've made some tests with the Windows-KB909520-v1.000-x86-ENU.exe (MS Base Smart Card...) Package. (I have got a Laptop with a Smartcard reader). If I put the package into the HF folder some files get integrated but it will not be installed correctly. Worse in this case is, that it's not possible to install the package after finishing the Windows installation. It gives an error. Someone else had the same problem?

I found the possibility to add .reg files very interesting and played arround a bit. Here are some things that could be usefull for others as well. Put the needed registry settings into a text file beginning with REGEDIT4 and put the .reg file into the HFSVPK folder. I've tested these settings - they are working for me and save me some time to get windows to look like I want after installing. The HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\ values&keys will get integrated in every user profile that is created, so some will proably be not usefull for all. ----------------------- Security related: Disable Admin Shares (in a small homenetwork I don't need them - second key I think is not needed though) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters] "AutoShareServer"=dword:00000000 "AutoShareWks"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters] "AutoShareServer"=dword:00000000 "AutoShareWks"=dword:00000000 Restrict anonymous access: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] "restrictanonymous"=dword:00000002 Enable ctrl+Alt+Del for Logon: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DisableCAD"=dword:00000000 ----------------------- Some other useful things: Disabling CD Autorun: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom] "AutoRun"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\Shell] ""="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell] ""="" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:03,ff,ff,ff Disable recycle bin / set recycle bin to 0: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket] "NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000001 "Percent"=dword:00000000 Disable Offline Files: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache] "DefCacheSize"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache] "NoReminders"=dword:00000001 "SyncAtLogoff"=dword:00000000 Remove HFSLIP from installed Software: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream] Drag full windows / enable font smoothing / rolling transition effect: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "DragFullWindows"="1" "FontSmoothing"="2" "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:9e,28,00,80 Enable Hidden Files/Folders / Disable IntelliMenues / Show compressed files with different color / Disable Webview / Show Logoff / Do not scroll Program menue [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "IntelliMenus"="No" "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001 "ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "WebView"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuScrollPrograms"="NO" Snap mouse: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse] "SnapToDefaultButton"="1" Do not show tips at startup: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips] "Show"=dword:00000000 Disable Recent Docs History / Disable Recent Docs in Start Menue / Don't show Start here tooltip [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoStartBanner"=hex:01,00,00,00 ----------------------- IE related: Blank start page: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="about:blank" 0 days history: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Url History] "DaysToKeep"=dword:00000000 Some settings the internet connection Wizard makes: [HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "EnableAutodial"=hex:00,00,00,00 "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "EnableAutodial"=hex:00,00,00,00 "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "EnableAutodial"=hex:00,00,00,00 "NoNetAutodial"=- "NoNetAutodial"=hex:00,00,00,00 "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000 "ProxyOverride"="" "ProxyServer"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Welcome\ICW] "@"=dword:00000001 Set Internet Connection Wizard completed: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard] "Completed"=hex:01,00,00,00 Do not create Internet Connection Wizard desktop icon: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce] "^SetupICWDesktop"=-

In my first post I have to say thank you very much for HFSLIP - a really great tool. I use it for Windows 2000. I found it by searching if maybe MS will change its idea about releasing a SP5 for Windows 2000. Well by finding this site this isn't of any importance to me any more. HFSLIP works very well, I only found a few minor things: It seems that it's not possible to integrate the HF: Windows-KB909520-v1.000-x86-ENU.exe (MS Base Smart Card...) I've put it into the HF folder but it doesn't seem to be integrated to the Sourcess - well some files are, but the update does not seem to be working after installing windows 2000. Another question: is it possible to integrate the "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" into de sourcess? Here is some info Info about deploy Download The instructions say: Save the hotfixes to the HF folder, which can take Type 1 and Type 2 Hotfixes as well as MSI installers. The UPHClean-Setup is a msi installer so I tried to put it into the HF folder but without luck. Could it be that it failed because this msi does not exist for my language and HFSLIP rejected it because I used the english one?
