Something isn't right for me.... I've tried various settings in the SNM config file but nlite just refuses to add it. It'll work for 30 or 40 seconds like everything is OK but then I always get that error...

Please use attachment better for a file that long. nLite doesn't accept your file because you are trying to integrate a switchless installer and not an nLite add-on. To build an add-on you should have used T13ADDON=YES setting in the .ini file.

Edited October 31, 2009 by strel

**madpenguin** · November 1, 2009

I did try that setting. Gave me the same error and also an .exe file, which I expected a 7zip file like previous versions. Let me try it again but I'm positive I had T13ADDON=YES the first time around. It produced an .exe which nlite refused to use....

Thanks for the help strel...

**madpenguin** · November 1, 2009

Alright.... I changed that option back and your right. A second command window came up that said it was converting to a 7zip file and indeed I now have a "DNF11SP120SP230~4%DNF30LNGSTR35~4%DNF35LNGSTR.7z" in the OUT1 directory.

Sorry about jumping the gun but I could have sworn I used that option because I specifically read the comments. We'll see how the nlite integration and format/fresh install goes with regards to KB974417 still showing up on Automatic Updates or not.

Thanks again Strel for your hard work on SNMsynth

I see, OK, suppose all files to extract are zip, I'll check it to include the switch. Thx.
I suppose 35SP1_KB963707FIX_NOFFADDONPROPERTY.mst appears in .\TMP folder, is that right?
I have not defined any timeframe limitation for the script subprocesses. Waiting for your tests.

I ran it all the way through a couple times. Both times everything came out fine. I have no idea what caused that error message initially. If it ever shows up again, I'll go through everything and see what happened.

**madpenguin** · November 1, 2009

Thanks Strel. Everything seemes to work fine with the new version. You can look at my last attachment to see what files I processed but it's basically an up-to-date 1&2 addon for nlite. I added the .7z file after 60 or so other hotfixes, no problems there as someone earlier suggested. Windows update doesn't list it as me needed it.

It appears, atleast for my needs, that your latest version works perfectly. I haven't compared file versions or gone indepth to make sure all the hotfixes were applied correctly during the windows install but for now, I'll just assume they have.

I've also noticed that firefox .NET assistant update is missing in Automatic updates. Huzzah for who ever made that one happen. Was really getting tired of looking at it.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

**madpenguin** · November 2, 2009

FYI, my new nlite CD worked perfect. Did a format and freash install and only have the updates I intentionally left out. The new version of SNMsynth seems to work and do what I need it to do.

Thanks much.

I built 3.0 SP2+3.5 SP1 merged installers with exactly the same .ini file settings and with the same files in the work folder as you. Then I proceed to install and the error didn't appear. Can you check again even repeating the process or so?

Weird thing is when i run it from an existing installation it runs fine.

When I use it from HFGUIRUNONCE (I'm using HFSLIP) I get the error.

**Sp0iLedBrAt** · November 2, 2009

I compared the versions; mscordacwks.dll has 2.0.50727.3082 version, which should be at least 2.0.50727.3603.
I checked if 20SP2_KB974417FIX.mst was in the folder; affirmative.
I'm attaching PROCESSDATA.txt so you can check it out and point me to possible errors in my procedure.
Thank you for your prompt reply.

I did another one incorporating what is said above plus a few changes; the result is still the same (see post #490). I'm also attaching the log inside OUT1 from this latest experiment.

Edit: I extracted the package and verified that the necessary files (newer versions in accordance with MS's description) are indeed inside, so the question is why aren't they updated in the Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ folder.

**Glowy** · November 2, 2009

There probably is something wrond in the KB971276 code.

I had to put WINXP=YES in the ini or the KB971276 updates did not get processed.

Starting up a VM installation to test if the file not found error dissapeared.

At least the file exists in the archive now (DNF30\XPS\update\update.exe)

SNMsynth 20091029 presents important bugs, I'd recommend you to not use it except for testing purposes. Hopefully will fix all bugs for the next verion soon.

thnx4thepen

What method did you used to install? Did you installed 3.0 from win setup? At what time?

Thx for your help, I've found and fixed the 1.1 language bug, next version will handle it.

Sp0iLedBrAt

I'm not getting KB974417 in win/ms update after using an SNMsynth installer over an installed XP. Are you sure is that KB# and not KB951847?, because there's a bug with the second that I managed to fix, next version will handle it. In addition, the right files from KB974417 are applied both in my 2.0 SP2 installer and in %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ folder. Check this folder is removed when you remove 2.0.

Glowy

You said you need to set WINXP=yes in .ini file to make the script process KB971276. This sounds strange to me, I don't think it is related with target OS setting in the script, but new method for detecting host OS (which define target OS, in case .ini file setting is not defined) is being used with 20091029 SNMsynth, and though I'm confident with it, you should check it is not failing. The 2nd line after you run the script, indicates the target OS version for the installers being built. If you find any error on this let me know.

I simply run the installer created in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox 2.2.2 Windows XP SP3 full updated).

I used only the "dotnetfx35.exe", the language pack and the updates.

PS when the procedure is finished I did clean the .\TMP folder

**Glowy** · November 3, 2009

When omitting the winxp=yes veriable the output is:

Checking .NET stuff to build installer(s)/addon(s) for ...

"net config work" returns "Softwareversie Windows 2002"

When I change the "TOKENS=4" in "TOKENS=3" in the OS detection part, it detects correctly, so I think it's a language issue

Because the english output is "Software version Windows 2002", there is an extra space.

Edited November 3, 2009 by Glowy

**strel** · November 3, 2009

Clarifying. Thx

**Glowy** · November 3, 2009

Building the packages went fine using winxp=yes, but in WU KB951847 and language pack for .NET 1.1 are back
