hi Yzöwl! currently, HFSLIP doesn't support the XACT updates ... hope this helps somehow ...

you're most welcome! it might be worth noting though which specific part of the installation this happened ...

thanks TC! i wouldn't mind having it there if it could be of any use

have downloaded it already the moment wela posted it ...

ha! ha! thanks Super-Magician for calling my attention on that oversight. my apologies tommyp!

thanks Super-Magician! got it sir! i'll do the experiment later. TC, i'll post it as soon as i can ... btw, would there be any use for us to have the WORK dir out there?

it would be helpful to XP users ... what about for those using 2K, 2K3 & Vista (soon)?

hi! i did about 2 ISOs & installed these rightafer ... here's what i found out using 60621a: (1) WORK directory is not being deleted after the entire process ends ... (2) at T-13 installation was interrupted by these errors (RC installation) ... please see attached screenshots (3) it was the 1st time i saw XPize (XPizev44Full.exe) being slipstreamed ... (as i do not recall seeing this portion ever in all my previous builds & installs) ... it gave out the message it was being slipstreamed, then followed by success ... BUT showed something like File Not Founding ... my apologies if i wasn't able to copy & paste that exact portion of slipstreaming ... i was too sleepy to have thought about copy & paste i have XPIZESW=/S /notask in HFANSWER.ini i continued on 2x & finished the installation & everything seemed normal except that RC was not present anymore & no program group was present any longer for Xpize ... i think though that it installed ... or slipstreamed rather ... as the normal XP screens are not present (& it's not present in Add/Remove Programs) ... even tried to copy files to see if it'd be the same if XPize were installed correctly (yes it did like how XPize would --- animated icons when copying/pasting) ... so i guess there's nothing wrong with the last 1 ... it's just weird ... the only things i did different this time were: (1) added WindowsXP-KB319740-v5-x86-ENU.exe to HF (2) added the following in HFAAO: a. [savefile]060617203355_wga_tray_remover_Addon.cab b. td_notepadplus_launcher_addon.cab c. Kels_UniversalSilentSwitchFinder_addon_v1.CAB (3) use the other 2 unrevealed variables with its default values btw, my HFSLIP run time went up to: 33m57s ... thanks!

yup ... Bashrat joined this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=74341

ha! ha! finally, a little interest in the topic ... thanks zartix & TC! i've been kinda waiting on this ... actually, i pmd FDV on this & he replied to my e-mail ... thanks sir ... there is nothing truly extensive about this except for what's in http://www.vorck.com/hfexpert.html thanks!

hi Electrician! sir does this mean that those isos (trimmed down &) created via nLite would not work? apparently, nLite generates its own winnt.sif? please advise. thanks!

quite sad this too was never finalized ... i wonder where StormRage & Oleg II are now?

please check on this link: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showfo...r=all&st=50 though it doesn't say much ... i think it is still in the works ... i'm actually looking forward to this too ...

ha! ha! i actually guessed right the 2nd 1 --- "A**H***"TEST! another HA! HA! Thanks TC!

thanks Tomcat! have successfully created a new build once again ... for the peeps who have been using HFSLIP for quite sometime, it's just truly fine to go through the process (& we could always go the source & read some stuff there ) ... i'm just thinking we could get past the the following introduction quicker: After reading the above disclaimer and GPL License..... Press any key to continue . . . HFSLIP IS TO BE USED FOR CD INSTALLATIONS Press any key to continue . . . SOURCE - Dump your installation CD source here Press any key to continue . . . Slipstream means NO NEED FOR OEM FOLDER. Press any key to continue . . . Learn more about the HFCLEANUP folder... *Reduce your source, an NLITE alternative <Do it at your own risk> Press any key to continue . . . WindowsUpdate questions without the WU.TXT file attached will be ignored. Press any key to continue . . . Type in the words I HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS affirming you have read them. I HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS the introduction of HFANSWER.ini is truly great ... it is like having WINNT.sif (pardon the comparison if it seems a bit misplaced ) but then again, please know i completely understand the rationale for making users aware of the implications of using HFSLIP many thanks! btw, i was kind of anxious a while back to get to the forums but there was a database error of sort ... it got me really worried ... but it was a relief to have read from the main page the post of Alanoll

hi! have 1 question: would it be possible to have an unattended or totally automated HFSLIPping? like double-clicking on the cmd file would already start with slipstreaming ... like no more prompts ... like HFANSWER.inf takes care of everything when valueas have already been set? i understand though that we have to ensure that directions need to read & followed by users. thanks!

he! he! too late mystek ... just strike it out ... i didn't have any issue with the said vers ... mine worked just fine

as usual thanks for the clarification ... if we set the value to 1, then yes it does delete the .CAT files ... if we don't set it to anything, then it shows us the option to eitehr press "Y" or hit "Enter" ... would there be any value though that will not show the prompt anymore if for example we just want it to work with the .CAT files - without showing the options anymore ... something like default for not deleting the .CAT files anymore? sorry for the confusion ... thanks!

ah ... mobile graphics? yup, when Win2K came out, the drivers database more or less didn't have it back then

btw, i have a minor concerns about HFANSWER.inf ... for the .CAT files deletion, would there be a value we could assign that would not prompt for pressing "Y" to delete files or hitting "Enter" for leaving the .CAT files intact if option is is the latter? we can always reuse the SOURCE (even if slipstreaming of SP2 was done in a previous session) if option for back-up was set to 1, right? just wanted to clarify ... thanks!

alright ... i'll try these in a couple of hours ... sir, as for compressing the file - the step you provided to me above would be the simplest, right? would there be any other tool that would do just the same? thanks again!

as always ... thanks TC!

thanks for the quick 1 TC! would the renamed file copy over to system32 & write over the existing LegitCheckControl.dll? oh btw, would you happen to have a tool that i could use to compress the .dll to .dl_? any charity & guidance would be much appreciated. nope, i am not using RyanVM's add-on

it's nice to hear somehow that you have a fix ... cure may come soon! S3 ... kinda prototypical, huh? i still have 1 of those lying around somewhere ... S3 trio (2 or 4mb i think)

I once told my mother to use Shift+Del and immediately said "no, don't!". She would have wiped the whole folder. ha! ha!hi to all! @ TC --- just like what i mentioned i only showed it again ... & yes sir i understood it the 1st time! so far, i was able to successfully create new build using 60617b ... just this morning ... & when i logged back in ... now there's 60618b ... can't cope quick enough i have a couple of questions though: i tried to replace the LegitControlCheck.dll via HFEXPERT\WIN\system32 with a file of the same name but duing the DOS copy mode, it said something like file could not be copied over or something like file could not be found --- & my only option was to skip the file ... thanks!
