Shark007 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) I did some further testing with this.I tried it on a SP2.iso image that wasnt as up to date as my working image.After installation, it said I need to download windows update files.But, if you click the 'Details' tab, it tells you that you are about to installthe windows installer update.I'm guessing this is a required element of windows update 6 working properly.EDIT - its no longer a guess.. verified by installing windows installerand trying WU6 again. Everything @ WU6 worked properly after installing theupdated windows installerHere is a link to the windows installer updateWindows Installer 3.1 (v2)further EDIT ....if you download the above update you can extract the 5 updated msi*.* files from it with WinRAR, compress them, and also add them to your I386 folder.BoardBabe, this may be your resolve.Shark Edited June 25, 2005 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) Thanks shark007! I will definatly test this tomorrow Should the compressed filesmsi.dl_msiexec.ex_msihnd.dl_msimsg.dl_msisip.dl_already be precent in the i386 dir? I did not get any message to overwrite when I copied them to i386. Edited June 26, 2005 by BoardBabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 yes, they should have been there. ( in I386)and i dont remember nLite offerring to remove this.strange it didnt ask to overwrite.Shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hmmm I just noticed something. They are there, but not compressed... i386\msi.dlli386\msiexec.exei386\msihnd.dlli386\msimsg.dlli386\msisip.dllSo just this secound I got them both compressed (new files) and uncompressed (original files) - Do I just delete the uncompressed once then?

Shark007 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 yes. its been my experience that it will use the compressed filesif you delete the uncompressed onesShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ok, great! I'll give it a go on real format tomorrow and get back to you with some results. the regsrv will be run from (batchfile) the very top of cmdlines.txt before anything else (user creation and regtweaks).

Shark007 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) I really cant confirm running the regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dllfrom cmdlines.txt will work.in cmdlines.txt i have the command "runonceex.cmd"This file requires a specific format.i load a *.cmd file from within runoncex.cmd containing the commandregsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dllI dont use WPI so I cant instruct you there.The bottom line i'm getting at with my proccess is that the regsvr32 isnt run till after a full install of windows, and a reboot, altho i dont know if this is required.Shark Edited June 26, 2005 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Silly question, but where can I download this latest version? FrankE9999 lists 15 files to download, but are they all necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hmmm, ok I understand. So it might be better to run the regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dll from my cleanup.cmd. This runs after WPI has completed. (At the same time as RunOnceEx method has completed the list of apps to install) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinkdt Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 if you count the windows installer update, i'm using 19 filesThanks, Shark. The 50-cent question: where can I get those files? A link that would allow me to grab them would sure be great, been Googling and scouring the Windows update site with no success, starting to get frustrated.

Shark007 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) if you go to this url it will prompt you to install windowsupdate 6WindowsUpdate v6go ahead and install it.Then you can follow my process to get the files from your system32 dirShark Edited June 26, 2005 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) For sure, right there on page 1. Thanks.Edit: But I count only 14 files, to include wups2.dll. What am I missing?Another edit: OK, I see, the additonal 5 files come from Windows Installer 3.1. I need to take a break.

Shark007 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) The other 5 files are the windows installer updatesrequired for windowsupdate v6 to work properly.Windows Installer 3.1 (v2)as stated earlier, extract the 5 files from the update with WinRARmsi.dllmsiexec.exemsihnd.dllmsimsg.dllmsisip.dlland compress them to I386 also.Check for uncompressed versions of these files already existing in I386.Delete them if they exist.Shark Edited June 26, 2005 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
