Friends, I have a slightly odd and somewhat opposite question related to the subject of this thread, namely: How do I *stop* the R2 installer (CD2Chain.exe) from running on startup? Why you ask? Well, Microsoft, in Bill's infinite wisdom, has decided to provide us with a volume license key that only works with the R2 release media, but our product does not yet support R2 so must be installed under 2003SP1. We use an unattended install script to deploy our servers, but the annoying dialog requesting the R2 disc 2 pops up and requires manual intervention to continue the automated deployment. I have searched the registry for CD2chain.exe and came up with nothing. Can someone tell me what's starting it and how to make it stop? Thanks!

Sorry, that should be 917283! Not sure what i was smoking earlier... And I should have mentioned this is Win2003.

Guys, when I try to slipstream the KB917283 patch, (putting it in the HF folder), I get a Windows Installer popup box when HFSlip tries to process it. What am I doing wrong? Or does HFSlip not handle this type of patch? Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply here, been busy...(and stopped getting the reply notification emails) Thanks for the replies. To answer the question above, the reason I want to remove it from Add/Remove is to keep any "security minded" individuals from panicking about "unapproved software" being installed.

Thanks! One problem though- So I went into Add/Remove and Windows Components, and I deselected HFSLIP OTHER, clicked okay... it went through the usual sequence of events, and apparently completed successfully... but when I looked again HFSLIP OTHER was still there and still checked! Anything that can be done about that? Thanks!

hi friends... probably a dumb question but: I have just used HFSLIP to slipstream all of the updates into win2k3 and I now see "HFSLIP Total Slipstream" in the Add/Remove Programs, as well as "HFSLIP OTHER" in Windows Components. My question is why? If the patches have been slipsstreamed, shouldn't both of those be unnecessary? Or are they for the "extra" bits of HFSLIP that I haven't delved into yet? What will happen if I remove them? Thanks for your help! Tad

Thanks for the great list... however: MS06-008: Vulnerability in Web Client Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (911127) should point to KB911927 (not 911127)
