Sgt_Strider Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I got a quick question to ask you guys. Is the ISO created by HFSLIP the same as it would be if I followed the MSFN unattended guide? Is this ISO somehow inconsistent with Microsoft's standard and or break with the standard like nlite?

Tomcat76 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi Sgt_StriderHFSLIP doesn't do unattended installs; it slipstreams hotfixes into a Windows installation source. Hotfixes are extracted, and the files inside them are copied into the source, replacing existing files. The *.cat files are copied over as well so Windows setup knows that the updated (or new) files are OK. During Windows setup, the necessary registry settings from the hotfix installation INFs are applied so Windows Update knows that they have been installed.Silent installers, MSI files and some hotfixes are not slipstreamed; they're integrated into the SVCPACK folder to be installed at T-13.

wela Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 @ TC - Do you have time to refresh the hotfix list? THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it breaks with certain protocols like what nlite does? That is what I really want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Using HFSLIP or updating windows once it is installed in the classic way has just the same effect. Except that if HFSLIP has been used, you can not uninstall the update as there is no 'previous' versions of the updated files.In fact, we ensure that it has the same effect; it is meant to.The difference is that HFSLIP saves up to 150MB on your installation CD, at least the same amount of space on your hard drive and speeds up installation.And as far as I've understood, it is possible to update Vista just in the same way HFSLIP updates 2K/XP/2K3.

Kiki Burgh Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) hi TC! maybe we need to have updated HF lists, specifically from here: (1) http://users.telenet.be/tc76/winup/_winxpsp2.html --- i use this regularly! ... as well as updated instructions in (2) http://hfslip.org/howto.html ...i think the reason why there are repetitions in terms of inquiries from some is that topics are discussed all over the place ... perhaps a consolidation of those discussed in:(1) HFSLIP - Test releases(2) HFSLIP, The 2K/XP/2K3 slipstreamer(3) other topicsespecially when it's about the latest updates (i.e., IE7, WMP11, other HFs) ... thanks!i know you guys are busy ... especially that Christmas & New Year are getting closer ... but this would lessen inquiries (thus, less answers too ... he! he!)

Tomcat76 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The dynamic list for XPSP2 was updated roughly three hours ago. The only thing that's missing is WMP11. I'm not sure how I should incorporate that into the list yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'd do it the same as how WMP10 was incorporated to the XP SP1 list.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 @Tomcat76When you say a silent .NET 2.0 installer is required in HFSVCPACK for Windows PowerShell 1.0 to work, would a .NET 3.0 installer suffice as it contains .NET 2.0 binaries?

Tomcat76 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 @Super-MagicianI suppose it should. If it contains 2.0...@the_guyI meant for the dynamic list. WMP11 needs to be extracted into HF\WMP11. Having another section "Files that go in the HF\WMP11 folder" seems a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Magician Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 From the website:This is a brief explanation of the variables that HFSLIP_60624 and up accept from the answer file.Shouldn't this be HFSLIP 1.3.0 like it says in the title for that section?
