Integrating a few CABs...

[Daemonforce]

I am making a lot of unattended standalone discs right now that I'll eventually make into an AIO. Right now my biggest problem is Windows XP. Every other OS before and after is fine but the ones using the Windows NT 5.1 kernel. I need to integrate Windows Update, Windows Genuine (dis)Advantage as well as Flash 8. Finally! DirectX isn't an issue(yet)!

I need to save a lot of time and bandwidth when testing my updated installs and a way to integrate at bare minimum Flash 8 and LegitCheckControl would be great. I once had setup where it would install the later, but the change I made in TXTSETUP is now null and not working anymore.

I like doing things manually and while joliet names are probably going to be acceptable anyway, getting files in the old 8.3 format would be like...Teh awesomez0r.

Can anyone help with this?

After this I'm thinking of minimizing the installs with gosh's wipe-unnecessary-crap-and-boot-to-PE method.

I remember Microsoft had a bunch of CAB files for installing and updating. I remember there being one with the information for the WU ActiveX controls and there used to be a CAB in my Downloaded Programs folder for the LegitCheckControl, but I never see it anymore and I lost the synchronization url. Can anyone list them for me? I've wasted two days of fruitless thread-sifting and it's important that I find these and find a way to install them upon new installation.

My host OS is Windows XP Professional SP1 and it's going to stay that way until SP3 is released. I'm hoping that SP3 will make my current attempts void anyway. I don't have that kind of time to wait around though.

-------------------------------

Okies I have the CABs...Now I'm just trying to figure out what to do with them.

Shockwave ActiveX - 48.7K

Shockwave Flash - 724K

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flash...ent/swflash.cab

Windows Genuine disAdvantage - 347.3K

Windows Update Web ActiveX 86K

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/...b?1130827246890

I wonder if this can be done with a job...=/

45 views and no reply?! Wow...Either no one knows what they're doing or this task really really sucks. Come on guys! Give me something to start off with! o.O

*bump*

No one can point me in any direction with this?

I'm open to any suggestions. How does HFSLIP and XPCREATE integrate CABs into installations? =/

I use RyanVMs and other users packs here, you can slipstream WGA, the latest flash version and more.

I found some information that only states the obvious. I think I just figured out my install problem though. I'll test it tonight.

Grrr...Same error.

I don't want to start messing with install packs or any preset stuff.

I just want to know the TXTSETUP parameters to install LegitCheckControl.DLL and GWFSPIDGen.DLL from %cdroot%\i386 directly into %Windows%\System32. Setup wangsturbates during setup because it can't find my files. I once had it at the point where setup wouldn't halt and the file copied over, but I was missing the other file and I got prompted to install WGA again.

Test 2

Ok screw that...TXTSETUP is griping about legitche.dll(My rename:)) and it copies over anyway. I decided to just skip the file and boot into PE and notepad sees the file at T-39! WTF?! o_O

If you download Fencers cab file, Fencer128_Addons_AuthWGA_ 1.3.272.0.cab, you can extract the files from the cab and get the dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif entries from entries_wga.ini.

txtsetup under [sourceDisksFiles]

GWFSPIDGen.dll = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,GWFSPIDGen.dll
LegitCheckControl.dll = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,LegitCheckControl.dll
WGA.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0

dosnet under [Files]

d1,GWFSPIDGen.dll
d1,LegitCheckControl.dll
d1,WGA.inf

and place the compressed files in the i386 dir.

I dont know whether renaming the files is an option as the programs that rely on them will still be looking for the correct names.

I have the code for it but TXTSetup still screws up copying in BSOI. The files copy over though. Either way it doesn't matter. I still get prompted to install WGA. What really kills this is I don't know how to install INFs as a script and installing the WGA INF fails anyway. =/
