JayMan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I downloaded some AddOns to install with nLite. The ones for dotNet work fine, but the ones for the programs (like 7-Zip) do not. Looking at the modied folder, I see the installer files in the SVCPACK folder - but they are not actually being installed. I got my 7-Zip AddOn file from here:http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/85566-index-of-all-my-addons-16102011/ Is there a reason this AddOn isn't working?

submix8c Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Check the SVCPACK.INF for the entry (that *should* be there). http://www.itninja.com/software/7-zip/7-zip-1/9-1120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMan Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ok, this is what I found out. To give a background to my porcessing:I first run nLite to slipstream hotfixes and addons, and to remove components. I then run HFSLIP do slipstream various files and REG, etc (yes submix - I finally caved into using nLite due to all the hickups I was getting from the FDV fileset and a lack of responce from FDV to resolve/trouble shoot them). After much trails, and analisit I discovered that HFSLIP will OVERWRITE and SVCPACK.INF file that might exist. This is why the addons were not installing - cause the SVCPACK.INF file that had there command lines was overwritten. So what I ended up doing was modifying the .CMD file so that instead of overwritting it appends. After doing such resolved the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There was a big mistake - nLite->HFSLIP. Anytime you mix/match anything (just like *do not* use 98SE Service Pack *plus* 98SE AutoPatcher) something is bound to get clobbered. You never mentioned you combined them, just that nLite wasn't adding it. IOW, it *was* and HFSLIP killed it. You *could* have just saved the *first* SVCPACK.INF then manually merged it into the *second* one. That is, after all, what it's purpose is. So you didn't "break down" and use nLite - you used *both*. Your bad. At least now you know the correct way to do it - *Merge*. P.S. - Didn't I tell you FDV no longer supports the older stuff?

JayMan Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Before I was trying to JUST use HFSLIP. So me using nLite at all was a "break down" and compromise. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
