The File-Checker (HFSLIPFC) for HFSLIP

[Parseus]

• SmartCard_XP_x86.exe - I don't know the folder.
  
  

For this update it should be HF (if you rename this update to WindowsXP-KB952013-x86-xxx.exe; xxx - language) or HFSVCPACK_SW1.

[Geej]

Just a question: Why do you have it in extracted form?

Regards, Mimo

Just to reduce HFSlip runtime...

(If DirectX 9.0c Redistributable also can do it this way, I would love too )

• For KB961742-v3.exe (also for WindowsXP-KB968930-x86-ENG.exe in table 3) I don't know the folder and so it's not included in hfslipfc. --- i have the 1st 1 in HF; i took out the 2nd 1 for it had caused troubles for me:

  hey Mim0, could you please cross-ref this with our current XP list, esp WindowsXP-KB968930-x86-ENG.exe. (this 1 has given me lots of errors. could there be other HF as requisites for this?) ... your thoughts? thanks!
  EDIT: i have confirmed that WindowsXP-KB968930-x86-ENG.exe has caused a lot of errors during text mode of setup. tried it even with & without WindowsXP-KB926139-v2-x86-ENU in HF too to see if it could address .ps1xml errors but to no avail.

• kb890830 is now included.
  
• KB909520 - I don't know the folder. --- i put it in HF
  
• KB917275 is now included
  
• WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe is now included
  
• KB898461 is now included
  
• KB905474 is now included
  
• KB915865 - I don't know the folder. --- i placed it in HF
  
• KB936929 fixed
  
• LegitCheckControl.cab included now
  
• MUAuth.cab included now
  
• muweb_site.cab included now
  
• wsusscn2.cab - for what do you want to include this??? --- saw this from your list as a "to do" in table 8; just thought i'd try it out
  
• wuweb_site.cab included now
  
• WindowsXP_KB968389_x86 solution has to come --- this is the 1 that requires the .reg file
  
• SmartCard_XP_x86.exe - I don't know the folder. --- for me, it's in HFSVCPACK_SW1
  
  

comments (text colored differently) inserted within the quote ... i suppose for contents in HFCABS, we must be sure to put updated files there (as there'd be no way for the script to look into each .cab's contents) ... thanks Mim0.

btw, i have posted an inquiry about msxml6-KB954459-enu-x86 vs WindowsXP-KB954459-x86-ENU *** in another post ... looking forward to your feedback about it too

Hi Mimo!

I just tried the latest File Checker, file named hfslipfc-091213.zip, with hfslipfc.cmd dated 12/13/2009 11:58 pm, against HFSLIP files put together using your update list dated 12/11 EXACTLY, with the following results: (note the heading "File-Checker (Build 2009/12/11)")

I thought that several of the unknown items were supposed to be taken care of in this latest version. Also, all 3 of the files that are flagged as obsolete are still listed in Table 2 as required, and in fact, the file your program lists as the appropriate replacement for KB969898, ie KB973346, is listed in Table 7 as being replaced itself by KB973525.

I also noticed that Kiki Burgh is having problems with WindowsXP-KB968930-x86-ENG.exe in the post above. I assume I will, too, since I'm trying basically the same setup. Any idea what's going on?

Please don't misunderstand in any way. I think that this program and your list are absolutely GREAT and you do a fantastic job keeping it up to date and being responsive to anyone with a problem. I can see this program evolving into something along the lines of Autopatcher, or using a download mechanism similar to what's used in this tool, where you would check off the various options you want included, IE8, WMP11, etc, and it goes off and downloads all the current updates that HFSLIP needs and puts them in the correct folder for you, if you don't have them there already, and then it gives you the option of going ahead and running HFSLIP, or not - if you want to change anything. Anyway, I can dream.

Looking forward to your reply.

Cheers and Regards.

Almost forgot ...

In Table 7 you list that (KB943729) needs XMLLite (KB915865). Therefore, would there be any reason why we would not want to include KB915865 in HF?

Also, while this

like hfslip.log

hfslipfc nopause >hfslipfc.log

is easy enough, the few times I've run the tool I've usually forgotten and had to run it again or cut and paste from the command window. It might be nice for there to be a Log - Yes or No line in hfslipfc.ini perhaps. Your thoughts?

Thanks again.

Cheers and Regards

hehehe! same findings with bphlpt ... ran the cmd from hfslipfc-091213.zip too & those updates supposedly not to be identified as unknown or missing still came up.

Hi, Mimo

I made a small autoit console script to detect current SWflash.cab version.

I'm not surewhat you think and whether it is of any use.

It writes to console the current Flash version number.

I'm not good with batch script so I dun know how to pipe the result to your script.

Place this file in same folder as hfslipfc.cmd

Pls test run in console mode

Detectswflashver.exe

Size: 277.71 Kb (284,377 bytes)

MD5: F24C57297D4038429E4C1A277CB88119

I've run HFSLIPFC and I found this:

missing (S): HF\msxml4-KB973685-PLK.exe (XML Core Services 4.0 (MSXML4) SP3 Build 2107)

That MSXML4 hotfix is not available in Polish.

That MSXML4 hotfix is not available in Polish.

Also not available in Greek. There is not msxml4-KB973685-ELL.exe

Although we can install msxml4-KB973685-enu.exe if it is not availbale in our language.

@Parseus&bfc_xxx

THX for the hint!!! I will update hfslipfc.

THX for your support.

But now I'm checking it directly from batch: Filename and filesize - that should work!!! This version of hfslipfc is available in short.

If this method runs in problems I can extract filever.exe from support-tools (CAB, if available in SOURCE), and use it to get the version of the file.

I would like to make it without any external apps.

Hi Mimo! I hope you are having a Happy Holiday!

Any update on the following?

• LegitCheckControl.cab included now
  
• MUAuth.cab included now
  
• muweb_site.cab included now
  
• wuweb_site.cab included now
  

These are still showing as unknown using the latest list and File Checker.

In Table 7 you list that (KB943729) needs XMLLite (KB915865). Therefore, would there be any reason why we would not want to include KB915865 in HF?

I've added options for Windows Update and Microsoft Update to the INI. Plz check next release.

When you confirm that HF is the right place, I will add it to the list.

Best wishes also to you!

Hi Mim0

Useful script.

Just to let you know I had my WMP11 put in HF\WPM11 folder (they are extracted files). Your script says:

Check missing updates for WMP11:
--------------------------------
missing (S): HF\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-ENU.exe (Windows Media Player 11)

I know I dun have wmp11-windowsxp-x86-ENU.exe b'cause they are in extracted form. Maybe you can look into it. Thanks

With the next release you can ignore updates in the IGNORE table of the INI. Then this file will not be listed as missing.

Regards, Mimo
