All is good on WinXP SP2 English using 61017b . Everything went through without a hitch ! Will also run dumpdupes.cmd on my computer to see. Edit: Wow! 61019a already ! Shouldn't make a difference for me though

I just tested this, and the problem occurs for me too. It must be a limitation of IPB or something.

@cse, WGAN (KB905474) is no longer a critical update on WU. You may safely remove it (I don't believe it is updated any longer).

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx Microsoft just released it. I checked about an hour ago and it wasn't there yet. Now it is!

Sorry, didn't realize it was already posted on the main page and everything. Never mind...

I have received information from sources that Microsoft has released the final version of Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP 2003 SP1. I have the direct MS link (actually, forwarding link) to the English x86 version for Windows XP. I do not believe Microsoft has officially launched it yet, however. Do you think we can have support for it soon ? Edit: I now have the links to all English versions. Edit #2: Guess what? Microsoft just released it! Here are links: Windows XP (SP2) - x86 Windows 2003 (SP1) - x86 Windows 2003 (SP1) - x64 Windows 2003 (SP1) - ia64

That's great, Camarade_Tux!

@wela, this probably won't be your problem, but please try HFSLIP without modifying the script. Humans aren't known for their perfection in changing things . @Camarade_Tux, you've been reporting restart problems for quite a while. Are you sure it isn't one of your hotfixes that's broken? I also noticed that you're including an ENU update (Q810243) and four updates (one of which is that ENU hotfix) labeled "WXP_SP2" in their filenames. @Tomcat76, do you still need any tests with XP SP2 English? Hopefully you'll be able to get this final out soon.

@Kiki Burgh: Regarding your question about Type 1 and Type 2 hotfixes, Type 1 fixes require the /quiet /norestart switch (or equivalent). I believe Type 2 is something like /Q:A /R:N.

Please post your HFSLIP.LOG file (zipped).

Yes, the_guy mentioned this briefly before as well. Tomcat?

@wela Hmmm...weird. Tomcat and others just reported errors with DX9 slipstreaming on 2K, but you are using 61014c and report no problems.

Yeah, you probably won't need/want the XACT and XINPUT binaries until games use DirectX 10 .

@Tomcat and @glentium, thanks . @Tomcat again: I do not believe AHTEST needs to be set in AUTORUN mode because that section is bypassed. And, yes, I understand why you don't want to discuss this too much.

Ah, OK, thanks. I've probably read upon that before, but I'm too lazy to remember and/or search

@glentium, yes. @Tomcat, I seem to be having a problem with HFANSWER.INI. Unless I'm doing something wrong, the DRIVERCOMP option I select is not recognized properly. I used to use option A, but I recently changed it to D. When I run HFSLIP, it still uses option A. But I think I know why! Because I set the %RELEASE% variable to AUTORUN, it doesn't call the section that sets %MULTICAB% to ON. RELEASE=AUTORUN DRIVERCOMP=D SBOOTPATH=1 INSTALLRC=1 INCWMPCSKIN=1 ISONAME=XPVOL1_61013a.iso ISOTITLE=VRMPVOL_EN FORCECDIMAGE=1 CDIMGSW=-t10/13/2006,12:00:00 -h -n -x -o -m MKISSW=-relaxed-filenames -d -D -N -J -no-emul-boot -no-iso-translate -boot-load-size 4

Hmmm...just wanted to revive this thread and see if TommyP or Tomcat are still interested in it. It seems like a good idea .

So then what's the point of including it ? Also, since when has HFSLIP had CD burning in it (see glentium's HFSLIP screen log)? I guess you put it in yourself?

Finally MS releases a new D3DX9 binary! BTW, am I right in that the latest test release supports all of the XACT and XINPUT CABs?

Regarding KB923996-v2: Microsoft is notoriously inaccurate with many of their web pages. MS06-042 is definitely for KB918899. KB923996 was not released in any security update cycle AFAIK. Ignore it . @Tomcat, saugatak is correct in regards to KB917159 (MS06-035). It was replaced by KB923414 (MS06-063). (Unfortunately, this was posted in the wrong place so I need to move it)

Perfect. Thanks!

Just edited my post. That's not what's wrong, but there is some problem. Your regular list loads perfectly.

Hmmm...seems you forgot something in creating those beta hotfix lists. The CSS file is not loaded (in the winup dir, not the winup/beta dir) . Edit: Oh, wait, that's not it. But something is not right.

@Tomalak/Tomcat, seems I forgot that support for KB914440 was never in the actual script. When I mentioned it briefly in the New updates thread or something, someone said it was supported so I never bothered to check Thanks.

Glad to see you're back, FDV !
