Hi mara-,

here is my feedback for beta 3 (no good news....):

1) Windows Installer window NOT hidden: "Preparing setup...", "Wait...".

Windows appear for each slipstreamed update....

2) Slipstream process blocked at KB945432 with the following message:

"AutoIt Error

Line -1:

Error: Unable to execute the external program."

3) Pop-ups which refers schakan probably are Windows XP "File Execution Protection" messages (I also have them, but they are not a Slipstreamer problem).

Here is my log.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Lions.

For me, KB945432 works fine. Can you please try once more, so we can check if always fail on that update?

And I know about Windows Installer windows, I forgot again to hide it.

Cheers

Yes, LCID 1053 was entered.

Both Windows and Office are Swedish editions, MUI is not used.

It is nice to assist you, no problem.

Hotfixes.reg is attached.

@schakan

Thanks for helping, but you entered wrong value. You need to enter LCID Hex value, NOT LCID Dec. So correct value for your language is 041d.

Cheers

Good news.

Tested Slipstreamer three more times, and everything went OK!!!

Sorry for the unintentional (and strange...) false alarm.

Now I'm going to try a new Office (unattended) installation to see if WU is happy or not.

Bye

Ok. Thought 1053 was in hex actually.

Thanks

Thank you both for helping.

@Lions

I'm not 100% sure but I think I know what caused that crash. I'll try to do something to prevent that. Also, I hope you used correct LCID Hex, which is 0410 for your language. Also, please post your results with WU/MU when you finish testings.

Cheers

No mistake with LCID Hex, I used 0410.

Testings results:

1) After installing Office 2003 (unattended) on a fresh new Win2K SP4 fully updated installation, MU-WU gave me these results:

HIGH PRIORITY UPDATES:

- KB943649 (OLKINTL)

- KB943452 (FORMMAN20ENU) (damned.....)

- KB912440 (Office2K3 Alternative User Input: for W2K SP4 only, not a Slipstreamer problem).

2) for KB943452 there is also a mistake in Reg informations: "DisplayName"="Actualización critica de office 2003: KB943452: FORMMAN20ENU", string in Spanish instead of Italian or English (but I'm sure this is not the reason of the WU reporting, because I tried to replace the string with the correct one, and even after a reboot the WU result is the same....)

If it can be helpful to you, I am attaching the Reg file extracted from the new installation.

Good weekend, see you Monday

UserData_S_1_5_18_Products_PATCHES.reg

Lions, I just done fresh slipstream with all available hotfixes, and KB943649 does not show on WU/MU. I can not test KB943452 because my Office is not affected. Only what you can do is install that updates from WU/MU and export for me only registry info for those two updates so I can see is there any difference between my database and those your''ll export. And I know about "DisplayName" in KB943452, but that is not a problem.

Cheers

Hi, mara-,

I made the updates from WU, and the only differences that I found are:

for KB943649 (OLKINTL), the Reg key name in your database is:

.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\3DC50BAEE72B76844A4DB2658F66C653

the correct one for Italian patch is:

.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\0CCB7EFDEE8730C4C90D94DD483EAD0A

for KB943452 (FORMMAN20ENU), theReg key name in your database is:

.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\F6900B7701894B74297DE043C1A5E5EC

the correct one for Italian patch is:

.......\S-1-5-18\Products\0140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches\B89354602EA16E44396B47B57AC119D5

You can also compare the reg key names with with those contained in the Reg file attached in my previous post (#102) (office2003_Italian.reg).

Bye

Lions

OK, now we know what is the problem. And I think that I can not do anything about that. You will need to correct database for yourself. The good thing is that this is not happening with all updates.

Cheers

Ok, here is my little contribution for those who have Italian version of Office 2003 (Professional).

Ciao

Lions

Thanks for database, and you contribution is not only for professional edition, it is for all Office 2003 editions.

Cheers
