Tomalak Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hello all,I want to try out the HFCLEANUP feature. http://hfslip.org/advanced.html#a5 reads:If using Windows XP, you need a modified SYSSETUP.DL_ and SFC_OS.DL_. You can obtain a modified SYSSETUP.DL_ by running nLite on a Windows XP source. Place all these files in the FIX folder. [...]These sentences do confuse me a little bit: can I get the second file (SFC_OS.DL_) from the nLite run also? But why is not mentioned then? Or is SFC_OS.DL_ not needed, in contrary to the first statement? Additionally, "place all files" instead of "place these two files" implies that there are even more patched DLLs required.Thanks for a short clarification here!Tomalak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 This is more TommyP's domain but I think that "all" refers to the two DLLs and all reducer files you include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The literature should say both instead of all. At one point in time, 3 files were needed. Be careful with the XP reducers, there is a pesty one (or two) in there and I don't have time to identify and troubleshoot it (and I'm not going to troubleshoot it either).

Tomalak Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Literature revised. Hello Tomcat76,could you also please revise the sentence before (both files, SYSSETUP.DL_ and SFC_OS.DL_, can be obtained in their modified form by using nLite)? That would clarify the paragraph. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'll ask TommyP. It's his text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomalak Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'll ask TommyP. It's his text Okay, no problem. It's not that important But now I have another problem: put the two modified files (and a modified UXTHEME.DL_) as produced by nLite into the FIX folder. Installation went just fine afterwards (I did remove the .cat files when being asked by hfslip).Next step was to include a small cleanup file named "NotepadHelp.rem" in HFCLEANUP, containing just two lines: NOTEPAD.CH and NOTEPAD.HL. And now I suddenly got into serious trouble: after the first successful GUI installation phase, rebooting into the second and final stage (with OOBE) failed. Before even showing the graphical screen with the progress bar, I got a blue screen and the computer rebooted. And it's stuck in that reboot loop...I couldn't see the error message, sorry - it's not shown long enough and disappearing too fast (I'm doing an installation in a VM).Any idea what happended here? I can post both log files if necessary, but the only difference between them is the single line with my custom removal file. Of, just in case it matters: last version I tried with is 70627a.I can investigate further next week. Thanks for your all your help and support!Tomalak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 HFCLEANUP and XP really don't mix. I ran into so many roadblocks with it. I would recommend to use NLITE instead. Sorry dude. I can offer a quick tip though. With the reducers, make sure that there isn't any blank lines. Blank lines cause troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
