• Remember there's a less painful on the eyes version of this post at PlanetAMD64, screenshot heavy for members (generous attachment policy).
  
• Always nice to know one's efforts are appreciated.

Thanks much, again, Kurt_Aust. Have fun, John.

Hello,

I have two remarks :

1) I can read that you link the 048 KB927891-v5-x64-ENU.exe (MSI reliability update) patch, but there is something curious. Indeed, when I read the KB927891, it is required to install two files :

To fully address the unresponsive system issue, both this fix for MSI must be installed and the Windows Update client must be updated to version 3.0.

The WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe is considered in your first post as "Optional". I agree with that, but the KB927891 patch should be considered too as optional, as it seems to be useless alone.

2) The MSI Installer 4.5 has a patch, the KB958655. Could be useful if you want to install SQL Server or things like that without problems. Maybe you could add it in the list (it would be better if MS took some time to create an updated installer...).

I have also a question :

The KB923789 update, who concerns Flash Player 6... Is it really necessary ? I mean, I will install Flash Player 10. Should the vulnerabilities be corrected at the same time ?

1. Realistically users will upgrade to WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64, either by running it specifically (as done by this guide) or by BITS installing it in the background, the optional aspect is more of a when rather than if.

2. This guide only uses hotfixes publicly available on the Microsoft download center (no beta updates), besides there have been problems with the various patches for MSI 4.5 as described in 5eraph's update pack thread.

3. Yes, KB923789 is redundant if you install Flash Player 10, again it is a case of giving all available options (as long as they won't do any harm).

[Nethan]

I guess I will avoid updates for MSI 4.5 for a moment ^^

About the KB923789, after checking, it is not really redundant. Indeed, files of the flash version 6 stays in the system if I install Flash 10 without uninstalling the old one, who is the common method with Internet Explorer, and I don't know if it is dangerous. Nevertheless, this patch is useless if the Flash uninstaller is used : This files are removed by it.

I read that this patch gave some conflicts with Flash 9. It don't concern Flash 10, but I will not take any risks.

As you said, we have the choice. So I will use the uninstaller through a vbscript

Thanks for your answer and your help

I have a slightly huge problem. I can't get anything to run from the dvd with %source% including also adding next batch file to runonce (

If exist %1XP_2.bat REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce" /V "command0" /D "%1XP_2.bat %1 " )

This is all inside Vmware. It's been over half a year since i've had a vminstall (i'm in school so havent had time for this, till now) so i'm a bit rusty.

It only says that file doesnt exist.

[johnhc]

Heh TranceEnergy, good to hear. I can't make much sense from your sample (mostly lack of knowledge). You did not use %Source% in it, but did you remember that "%Source%=D:\" (D will vary, of course)? That is, the %Source% variable has a trailing \, unlike most environmental variables. Catches many people. Enjoy, John.

this is from my xp.bat at the beginning of it:

"

Set Source=%1

rem start init part.

%source%Setup\ConfigureDefaultServices.bat

%source%Setup\PathFixes.bat

"

As i run the xp.bat MANUALLY after logging int, it stops after the configuredefaultservices.bat

I have no idea why this is happening. Except that i have changed to 5eraphs update pack and latest ie8 pack.

edit: This is driving me crazy!

Edited March 28, 2010 by TranceEnergy

[Guest]

Try the following, TranceEnergy:

Set "Source=%%1"

[TranceEnergy]

Try the following, TranceEnergy:

Set "Source=%%1"

Even nlite sets it to %1. I WILL try this, as i am desperate of resolving this quickly.

[TranceEnergy]

No change. It didnt help.

edit: removing the set source command alltogether from my batches. installing it now in vmware.

Didnt make any change either.

Edited March 28, 2010 by TranceEnergy

[johnhc]

TranceEnergy, are you running your .bat in the nLite GuiRunOnce? If so, %Source% is set when you get control and you don't want to reset it. Enjoy, John.
