Were you slipstreaming WMP11 to get that result?

Hi again, tommyp

Here is the updated list of updates for wmp11 and ie7:

wmp11 - 939683

wmp11 - 941569

wmp11 - 936782

ie7 - 938127

ie7 - 958215

Internet Explorer 7 Hotfix HF\ IE7-WindowsXP-KB958215-x86-ENU.exe Dec 2008 Critical 958127 IE7 Hotfix

The 958127 is referencing a link which doesn't exist. I believe it should be 958215 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958215)

Internet Explorer 7 Installer HF\ IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe May 2008 N/A 927177 IE7 Installer

The 927177 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177) refers to "How to uninstall Internet Explorer 7". I believe the correct link should be to 940767 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940767) "Description of the Windows Internet Explorer 7 Installation and Availability Update"

Yes I'm slipstreaming WMP11, also IE7. XP Greek Pro SP3

Hi tommyp,

Looks like 893803 and 911564 are not needed for XP SP3.

When trying to install them at fresh hfslipped xp pro sp3,

there is a message that tells they are already installed...

I also wonder what use is LegitCheckControl.cab because

WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe is enough for me to

access windows update without downloading/accepting

any activex/updates (898461 & 892130 are of course included).

Maybe slipstreaming IE7 causes this?

HF\ WindowsXP-KB953155-x86-ENU.exe Oct 2008 Important 953155 Printing Service

I believe this one 'optional' based upon the info from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms08-062.mspx as it only affects users running IIS:

I am running one of the platforms that are listed in the affected software table. Why am I not being offered the update?

The update will only be offered to systems on which the affected component is installed. Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems that do not have Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) installed are not affected and will not receive this update. Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 systems that do not have both IIS and Internet printing installed are not affected and will not receive this update.

Would it be a good idea to include a note indicating this is optional unless IIS is installed?

On a side note: with SP3 slipstreamed (before using HFSLIP), 951748 is not displayed via MBSA 2.1 or Windows Update. I've searched for a reason why but cannot for the life of me see why this isn't being included via MBSA 2.1 or Windows Update. I show adf.sys being updated later from 956803 but dnsapi.dll(a), mswsock.dll(a), tcpip.sys(B) and tcpip6.sys(B) all show as version 5.1.2600.5512 and dated 4/13/08 for (B) and 4/14/08 for (a) (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951748). Based upon the list by FDV and TommyP, I would expect MBSA 2.1 or Windows Update should be offering 951748 but neither one appears to do so.

911564 is included in XP SP3 via 946480 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480/).

946480 is the List of fixes that are included in Windows XP Service Pack 3.

turdflinger - I'd prefer not to include other info such as you mentioned about IIS. It's not my intent to offer all scenerios of who installs what and what hotfixes are required for their system. It's already a pita with the various flavors of WMP and IE. In the case of the IIS update you mention, if someone has their winnt.sif file set up to install IIS, then the latest IIS will be installed. If the option is turned off, then it won't install, but the latest fileset still resides on the installation CD. The severity rating will remain as what MSFT says. It's not my call to redefine how MSFT rates their OS software.

spamkonto1 - Thanks for the tips. 911564 removed, but it appears that package installer 893803 is not part of the XPSP3, or at least that's what it says at KB946480. The legitcheckontrol.cab is periodically updated. It's good to keep the latest version there. I don't know how to answer your Q if it's an IE7 thing or not. I don't use IE7 or XP. I dislike both.

...

I don't know how to answer your Q if it's an IE7 thing or not.

Thanks, I was only leaving some comments after trying HFSLIP tool - I find it very useful.

I tried to use nlite, but it failed to produce successfull installation cd XPSP3+IE7

(battery problem - looks like unsigned drivers settins were to blame).

Then I found that nLite does more than I wanted (editing sfc.dlls) and since there

is this HFSLIP tool that any reasonable user can use, STUDY and, in case

of problem, FIX himself, I was delighted.

FYI: when trying to install 893803 under XPSP3 message says that

newer package installer version is already included.

That "question" about IE7 was not really a question ;-) but only information

that it was not exactly fresh XPSP3, but IE7 was extra added (so that

might caused mentioned symptoms).

Anyway, I will try to install really clean XPSP3, then 893803 and report

it later.

One question about scripting - I am new to cmd, but it looks like pretty good

shell (bash is my poison), but can you tell me why HFSLIP does not use

parameters when CALL-ing "shell functions" (i.e. CALL :HF %hotfix_filename%)?

Some 2K/XP/2003/Vista incompatibility? cmd limitation?

[tommyp]

It's not a limitation, it's just a if-it's-not-broke-don't-fix-it thing. Sure there could be lots of optimization to the script, but personal life and work get in the way. I don't think I get the error for the package installer but if more folks say that the file isn't needed, I'll remove it.

thanks tommyp, i agree pita and that makes sense enough to me!

Per, 893803:

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 3; Windows 2000 Service Pack 4; Windows Server 2003; Windows XP; Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2

It doesn't list XPsp3 though...

Hi all,

I would give my little contribution to keep updated Windows 2000 list:

1) KB926121 (Remote Installation Services - RIS) is an optional component. If RIS is not installed, the update gives an error message...

2) KB926122 has been replaced by KB934484 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS08-003.mspx),

wich has been replaced by KB949014 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-035.mspx).

So, only KB949014 (currently missing) should be included in the list.

3) KB937894 has been replaced by KB951071 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS08-065.mspx)

4) KB941569 is listed twice.

5) Security and optional updates missing from the list:

-KB941644 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-001.mspx)

-KB950760 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS08-032.mspx), NOT replaced by KB9353839

-KB953839 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/953839.mspx)

-KB957280 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS08-060.mspx)

-WindowsRightsManagementServicesSP2-KB917275-Client-XXX-x86.EXE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917275/en-us)

Ciao

[tommyp]

Thanks for the contribution Lions. I'll try to knock these issues down one by one.

1. I don't get an error when slipstreaming 926121.

2. This is the infamous active directory hotfix. The overall hotfix is actually 957280.

3. List updated. Thanks!

4. Agreed, 941569 is listed twice. It's needed if you install codecs only. It's also included if you want to slipstream WMP9. A dynamic hotfix list would be better suited, but I'm not an HTML coder.

5. 941644 updates tcpip.sys. There is already a hotfix that updates this file (941644 is superceded).

950760 & 953839 are those infamous activex kill bits hotfixes. These two updates do not appear for me.

957280. See answer #2.

WindowsRights 917275. I'll reluctantly add this one to the list. I haven't seen the need to use this update yet.

Merry Christmas Everyone

[turdflinger]

So it looks like you don't need 893803, 950760 & 951748...

These are my results as well.

There are no bulletins replaced for WinXPsp3 regarding 950760 & 951748. 893803 doesn't list Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).

I wonder if this has anything to do with it. Or, it might be a bug in the WUA (which would affect MBSA 2.1 as well).

Is your slipstreamed xpsp3 using an RTM or VLK version?
