Tomalak Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hello,I recently discovered that IE7 updates with a prefix (I like to prepend a number to all hotfixes to keep track of them and have them in a list, e.g. "123_WindowsXP-KBxxxxxx-x86-DEU.exe") are not slipstreamed with current versions of hfslip, Windows Update reports them as missing after installation. This problem disappeard when giving the IE7 updates their original names, i.e. "IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-DEU.exe" instead of "063_IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-DEU.exe".I know this was working once (my last installation is from summer 2007, can't remember which hfslip version I used at this time). When did that change and why? I couldn't find the appropriate etnry in the changelog. It's not really an issue, I just want to know where this behaviour from... Thanks!Kind regards,Tomalak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 HFSLIP looks for IE7 updates in this way:IF EXIST HF\IE7*-KB*.exe . . .This is mainly done to exclude IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe and IE7-WindowsServer2003-x86-enu.exe in a simple and safe way. Different methods were used in the past but they were either overcomplicated or caused trouble (such as non-IE7 hotfixes being detected on Dutch sources due to a strange bug in DOS).
