Integrate newer MS Catalog

[bartgrefte]

Hi

Today I found out that there is a newer MS Catalog ActiveX plugin, version 7.4.7057.223.

Now I would like to integrate that in my XP installation disc but nLite doesn't support the cab file...

With the previous version, I ran into an addon that actually worked with nLite, but can't find it for the newer version.

Anyone got an idea about how to integrate it with nLite?

The cab is included with this post.

With regards,

Take a look at the the older version addon and apply it to to newer cab file. If you have a link to it, I can give you more details.

The older version addon is different, as for the files in the cab, see attachment.

edit: after some more googling, the files in the addon cab are compressed, that's why the _ in the extension. Think I now know what to do.

edit2: Hmm, can't seem to make a cab file with nLite's addon maker...

Thanks!

How did you do that? Kinda got stuck on making a cab file.

Did find makecab, to compress the files to dl_ and in_, but couldn't make a cab file with that.

I use Cab Tool 1.8 http://web.archive.org/web/20070306164746/...BTOOL_SETUP.ZIP

It will add a send to item. Right click a file and send to to extract/compress. It will know what to do. If it's compressed it will expand and visa versa. Right click a folder and send to Cabtool to make a .cab file.

Uhm, NOD32 AV gives a virus alert when opening that link

False positive?

Did find another way that seems to work: explorer -> new -> rar archive -> name.cab (instead of name.rar) -> add files with winrar.

I would say false positive. It's UPX packed. Maybe that's why. Here's the Virus Total analysis: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/8cf91d3...ea6b-1221656980

Some hits

I've been using that tool for months without any issues. If you unpack cabtool.exe and scan it you get this: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/ee65b0c...52ed-1255620101

No hits

Ohw, okay.

Btw, the addon didn't work, getting framedyn.dll errors now, that file is not found.

I've had that before with this particular activex addon (but different version), don't remember how it was solved...

edit: not exactly integrated, but letting the batchfile (that runs during first boot) do this works :

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\DVD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:
ECHO Installing Microsoft Catalog ActiveX plugin...
copy %cdrom%\Install\Resterende_updates\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.inf "%WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\"
copy %cdrom%\Install\Resterende_updates\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.dll "%WinDir%\System32\"
start /wait %SystemRoot%\System32\Rundll32.EXE "%WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.inf"
ECHO Done!
