Kiki: I believe you were referring to Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger. There is a difference. MSN Messenger is not installed by Windows Setup. To prevent Windows Messenger from being installed, you can add an entry to the [Components] section of WINNT.SIF [Components] msmsgs=off or you can create the following script and place it in HFSVCPACK. @ECHO OFF IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE cmdow @ /HID CLS SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION TITLE Windows Messenger Removal Script ECHO. ECHO Removing Windows Messenger... START /WAIT RunDll32 %windir%\system32\advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove ECHO. ECHO Windows Messenger successfully removed! GOTO EOF :EOF

It would be better to run HFSLIP again, just to make sure. But, if you want to do it manually, make sure you also uncompress SVCPACK.IN_ in SOURCESS\I386, add UPHClean.msi to SVCPACK.INF with the right switches, and then compress it again.

OK, great ! I haven't had time to test the current beta, however.

And make sure you read my post about not using RyanVM's .NET 2.0 installer. His installers should be put in HFSVPK (or HFSVCPACK if using the latest test release).

Welcome to the forum, roiysh! Probably a stupid question, but do you have the ident files (CDROM_IP.5, CDROM_NT.5, and CDROMSP4.TST) in SOURCE? Also, make sure your SOURCE works. Remember, running HFSLIP won't fix a bad source (garbage in, garbage out). Also, I don't exactly recommend slipstreaming Hebrew IE hotfixes into an English system. I'm not too familiar with INF files, so maybe someone else on this forum will be able to help you better. Try running the April 1 version of HFSLIP and report back.

Whoops, I did miss your post, Sereby . Can you maybe create one for English W2K SP4?

So, it is possible yet to slipstream MDAC 2.8 SP1 into W2K SP4?

So you turned off the directory listing?

I see you were ready to release something yesterday ! [old link]

Thanks, Tomcat! When I referred to the section below REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER, I was talking about REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER REM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ISO - CDIMAGE.EXE REM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ISO - BOOT.IMG REM IF YOU HAVE MSI HOTFIXES - MSICABEXTRACT.EXE REM IF YOU HAVE HFEXPERT - MODIFYPE.EXE Just a technical issue - since you never see it . By the way, I like your Multi Compiler tool, even though it's no longer updated.

Three quick suggestions for HFSLIP (nothing to do with the above). 1. Change IF EXIST HFSPACK\* CALL :HFSPACK1to IF EXIST HFSPACK\*.exe CALL :HFSPACK1so HFSLIP does not run through that portion of the script if there is nothing in HFSPACK. 2. The "I have read..." section is missing the lines IF EXIST HFTOOLS\MKISOFS.EXE CALL :MAKEISO & pause & exit IF EXIST HFTOOLS\CDIMAGE.EXE IF NOT EXIST HFTOOLS\MKISOFS.EXE SET CDIMG=1&CALL :MAKEISO & pause & exitwhen you type in MAKEISO at the prompt. Without these lines, typing in MAKEISO will create the ISO with MKISOFS automatically. 3. The very top portion of the script under REM FOR HFTOOLS FOLDER is not current.

Ummm...Camarade_Tux's log file (HFSLIP.LOG) indicates that he is installing XP SP1. I did say there is a newer version of UPHClean, but that's according to the file release date on the download page...Microsoft's website is not always accurate in regard with that. When I take a look at the filesizes of the older file I have and the one I downloaded today, they are the same.

Ignore that for now. Two questions: (1) Do you still need MSICabExtract.exe in HFTOOLS for any MSI files? (2) Is there actually a new version of UPHClean and will redownloading it solve Camarade_Tux's issue with it not installing?

That's odd. I see the file it produces. Oh, well.

He has it. Thanks!

See if you can open UPHClean-Setup.msi using the attached tool. [attachment removed] We used to have to put this in HFTOOLS to extract MSI files. I think Tomcat/tommyp has somehow found a way around this (at least for msxml6.msi, I think). It's possible that you still have to put it in HFTOOLS - I hope Tomcat will be able to resolve this issue.

Guess what, Camarade_Tux? This is probably why UPHClean is not installed: A new version was released on 4/7/2006! Edit: I'm having another feeling about this. This version and the one I already have are the same file size: 336,896 bytes. @Tomcat: I noticed you removed KB905915 from your XP update list. According to the_guy's post earlier, it is only removed for IE 5.01 SP4.

UPHClean is post-installed at T-13 with the rest of the stuff in SVCPACK. You should find UPHClean.MSI in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK. Make sure it is there. Windows Update Agent 2.0 is definitely slipstreamed.

I'm sure you would be able to using a switchless installer, or possibly Tomcat would be able to incorporate such a slipstream into the script.

dziubek, read my edited post.

What exactly is causing dziubek's problems with WU? Everything is perfect on my end for XP. Just tested yesterday. Microsoft Update does not complain at all. Edit: @dziubek, although I think that adding that information to HFSLIP.LOG is a great idea, know that the information is generated by the MAKECAB module. Tomcat would have to do something like this: MAKECAB /F SP.DDF>>HFSLIP.LOGalthough I think it would be more complicated than that.

I see! I will also try with the new 911565. KB904942 is an optional update for Internet Explorer 7. If you don't install IE 7, I don't think there is any reason to include it. However, I do notice that it says the problem does not occur until IE 7 is installed. Does this mean I should include the hotfix? Regarding the seeking issue (KB912226): On the page for KB911565, Microsoft does not say that the issue is fixed. It is still listed under "Known issues".

The file kb911565.cat exists in SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK. The version of WMP.DLL in SOURCESS\I386\WMP.DL_ is 10.0.0.3990. EmRoD also had a problem with KB911565. Unlike him, I did not have any problem with KB904942.

KB911565 continues to fail to install properly, even with the newest test release (60412c). All other hotfixes are now slipstreamed properly. [attachment removed]

dziubek, according to the directory listing at http://users.telenet.be/tc76/hfslip/test/, Tomcat has not yet uploaded 60412d. You should probably try again in a few minutes or so. Here is the link to the previous test release: http://users.telenet.be/tc76/hfslip/test/HFSLIP_60412c.7z
