TedJBrown Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi everyone,I slipstreamed XP SP3, WMP 11, IE7, and all the rest of the updates in the June list. After installing XP from the new disk I made, there is a HFSLIP entry under Add/Remove programs in the control panel. What is this for, and is it safe to delete?Thanks.

Yzöwl Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Of course you could just open the hfslip-n.n.n.cmd file and comment out the following two lines:Current stable version 1.7.8 (lines 3279 & 3280)ECHO>>WORK\HFREGWU.TXT HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream","DisplayName",0,"HFSLIP Total Slipstream (v%HFSVERFULL%)"ECHO>>WORK\HFREGWU.TXT HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream","UninstallString",0,"CMD /C ECHO>ER.REG REGEDIT4&ECHO>>ER.REG [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HFSLIPTotalSlipstream]®EDIT /S ER.REG&DEL/Q/F ER.REG"I actually don't think it should be there.If the developers wish to advertise their work in this way they should find an appropriate location for doing so. The Add/Remove Programs list is for doing just that, it really isn't a good idea to place an entry there which doesn't do anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
