HFSLIP - Test releases

[Tomcat76]

Tomcat, are you planning to fix the SVCPACK issue that I mentioned in the KB913433 topic?

Sorry... I didn't see that post.

I did some quick testing on an XP box and it looks like the standard Type 2 switches are accepted so I'm using these in the new version (60510b). It should work now. At worst, you'll get a wizard...

(4) pls see attached file for the differences in the hotfixes contained in the cab & with those in the HF dir

Not sure what you want me to do here. HFSLIP doesn't support the RVM Update Pack...

just thought it might be worth a look ...

so we can't use ryanvm's cab for HFSLIP ...

it's fine!

7. You can slipstream codecs on 2k/xp/2k3.

would there be an update about this (especially with the new codec packs around)?

thanks!

Kiki - I'll take it you haven't tested the waters with codecs yet. The codec instructions work for 2k/xp/2k3. If there are newer [dll, ax, etc] files, it's up to you to obtain them. If there's more codecs you need, then you'll have to add codecs. I work with the set listed in my post (except the real media stuff). I have not had issues playing any types of videos (except real media stuff).

go it sir ...

have actually tried it once but i wasn't so confident w/ the list of codecs i had ...

i simply followed the instructions there & downloaded the .rar files containing the codecs & the .inf ...

thanks again!

@tommyp: I still intend to work on the codecs like we discussed. My excuse is that my free time is very limited.

Right now I am in a hotel in Ohio...had laser eye surgery done yesterday. So you can rest assured that I won't be putting out any codec packs any time soon! Reading/typing isn't easy right now...

I´ve tried to download this file http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwa...ash/swflash.cab.

But i always get the message "no connection to the server available". Is there a other location?

THX.

@ x-pert

Thank you.

[tommyp]

TC - please update your links to that macromedia stuff.

all - please stay on topic. if there are codec issues, please post on the codec thread.

No need for you to apologize and I'm sorry to sound like a butthorn. I just want to keep it clean and on track for the test releases.

Tested 60510b.

Everything works perfectly. KB913433 installs successfully. WU does not complain.

Afaik, hfslip recreates some KB updaters (something with dasetup I think). And when creating them it puts cat files into the updater even though you provided a hacked sfc file.

Could this be changed, thanks.

If you have a modded SFC file but are still getting CAT files in the SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK folder they can only come from these locations:

- original SOURCE

- XPize

- HFEXPERT\WIN

Tomcat - did you get my PM?

[Camarade_Tux]

If you have a modded SFC file but are still getting CAT files in the SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK folder they can only come from these locations:

- XPize

- HFEXPERT\WIN

Those cats are not in SVCPACK but in the installers inside svcpack.

A screenshot will probably be better:

@Camarade_Tux:

HFSLIP is not going to extract a Microsoft installer and compress it again just to delete the CAT files inside it.

@Super-Magician:

Yes, but hold on just a while. You'll see for yourself...
