KB894871

Hi!

I got a hold of the spanish version of KB894871 and I want to use it instead of KB898543, so that the "please wait" message appears in spanish instead of english when slipstreaming WMP11.

Should I just add it to the HF folder and REMOVE KB898543? Or should I include both?

BTW, this two hotfixes update completely different files, what does KB898543 have to do with MSOOBE??? It updates the files win32k.sys, intl.cpl & explorer.exe while KB894871 updates syssetup.dll & msobmain.dll.

thanks in advance!

WindowsXP-KB898543-v3-x86-ENU.exe updates these files:

explorer.exe

input.dll

intl.cpl

msobmain.dll

win32k.sys

But with a non-English source, HFSLIP will only slipstream msobmain.dll which is the file that's needed to revive the post-setup wizard.

WindowsXP-KB894871-x86-XXX.exe can be used instead. I'm using it too.

When slipstreaming WindowsXP-KB894871-x86-XXX.exe, it is only useful to slipstream WindowsXP-KB898543-v3-x86-ENU.exe too if your source is English.

So, I should replace it.

Thanks, Tomcat!

Alright, I just built my HFSLIP'd CDs, including KB894871 instead of KB898543, XP and Home editions. Both Work just fine (tested in VMware).

I did notice something though: KB898543 DOES NOT fix the wizard-not-showing-when-slipstreaming WMP11-problem in winXP Home, it only works with XP Pro. KB894871 fixes it for both versions of windows.

bye!
