HFSLIP - Test releases


Recommended Posts


Posted (edited)

Sorry, but I do not understand…

before

--------

CALL :MAKEISO

CALL :TIMECALC

PAUSE&EXIT

after

------

CALL :MAKEISO

CALL :TIMECALC

IF NOT DEFINED FORCEEXIT (PAUSE&EXIT) ELSE (EXIT)

Not being documented and disabled by default in how many persons tasks they would have used it?

However I have resolved filtering your job with a script that, before launch HFSLIP-1.0.CMD, executes the substitution inserting timeout (ping -w 5000 127.0.0.1>nul) before the exit instruction… 5sec for view any error displayed...

@Echo off

Del MYHFSLIP.CMD

cls

Echo Procedura di modifica HFSLIP in corso...

Echo.

Set HFCMD=none

For /f %%i in ('dir /b HFSLIP*.CMD') do (set HFCMD=%%i)

Echo rem +------------------------------------------+> MYHFSLIP.CMD

Echo rem HFSLIP PATCHATO PER AUTOMATIZZARE USCITA>> MYHFSLIP.CMD

Echo rem +------------------------------------------+>> MYHFSLIP.CMD

Echo.>> MYHFSLIP.CMD

For /f "delims=" %%i in (%HFCMD%) do (

If "%%i" EQU "PAUSE&EXIT" (

echo %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\ping.exe -w 5000 127.0.0.1>nul>> MYHFSLIP.CMD

echo EXIT>> MYHFSLIP.CMD

) ELSE (echo %%i>> MYHFSLIP.CMD)

)

Call MYHFSLIP.CMD

Del MYHFSLIP.CMD

Exit

Ciao!

I won't add it and people are urged to disregard the above.

If HFSLIP exits out 5 seconds before the end, you think everything is OK but it's not.

Plus, most people aren't at their computers waiting for HFSLIP to finish every time they run it!

Thanks for the final, Tomcat76. Great job to everyone who helped! To do: IE7 :w00t:

P.S. @Tomcat76 - signature :whistle:

For what this regards me is the last one post on the argument, but for clarity I would want to emphasize that the first demanded modification did not make some damage, being left the functionality of the unchanged script.

The problematic is other… :yes:

:hello:

NtegrA...

Strange. "wmlaunch.exe" is part of MP10Setup.exe. Are you removing it with nLite or something?

How are you installing "IBM System Update" after the final reboot?

Sorry for the delay, just now got back to testing....

I am not doing anything extra to my source except HFSLIPing it. No removals / No additions. OOOps, actually one change that I made (that isn't affecting pre 17a & 17b code) is that I've added the donet 1.1 executable in due to a problem I was having getting it to install later on TabletPC with (dotnets) 1.0 and 2.0 at first [GUIRUNONCE] logon (I run a CMD that installs all apps I want on machine such as Office, Notes,IBM System Update).

I see a final has been released. I will try with that.

@Kiki: Tomcat76 repackaged RogueSpear's VMWareTools switchless installer so that it is more compatibile with HFSVCPACK. You can download that version here. It is working well for me so far.
thanks for this Tain & TC! :)

hi everyone!

it's not a surprise to find out that upon gettign back there is already a final ... not that i wasn't expecting it! :) it's great to have a new final again! however, much as i would like to share everyone's success in their builds, i was not successful in any attempts using even 61020a ... tried the following trial & error:

(1) took out most, if not all, in HFSVCPACK,

(2) took out all WMP10 HFs

(3) removed from the equation Sep & Oct HFs

(4) removed some addons from HFAAO

(5) tried using XP Pro Gold & XP Pro SP1 as sources

--- the results were the same :(

(1) not setting DELCATS = 1 causes installation to be stuck at T-39

(2) RC is stuck at T-13 while Checking for disk space ... no other option but to cancel (this is despite waiting for it for hours)

(3) at some point, it gets stuck at T-1, thus installation does not complete

--- when successful (if installation succeeds)

(4) media player quits when being launched ... it begins with Upgrading database ... shows briefly ... and then quits

(5) launching windows explorer or even my computer ... just does nothing ... window refreshes (as taskbar goes away & then comes back) & still explorer is not launched

please note there was no copying issue at all while still in text mode ...

ah ... it was truly frustrating for me ... i'm sorry!

the last build that was successful for me was still way back Aug ... 60810 & using some other test releases after it ... all in Aug ...

only thing positive on these runs was no duplicate files present anymore when running dumpdupes ... :)

i have attached some files that might shed clue to my predicament ...

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

thanks!

AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! :wacko::}

Sorry, can't think of anything else to say (heh). Actually the 1.0.1 Final is not working for me either. I am now pulling out dotnetfx1 from HFSVCPACK as that is the ONLY change that "I" made between the working and non-working builds (besides HFs of course).

Oh wanna here somethin else? <- rhetorical cuz I'mma tell ya anyways.... IE also disapeared on the bad runs. Don't know about the executable, but all icons for IE were missing after final reboot (just noticed that one!).

UPDATE: Well, it isn't the dotnetfx1 inclusion, removal of it changed nothing. Attached are hfslip.log and hfslipwu.inf of 1.0.1 build. Hopefully you can see something. I will try pulling out MP10 from slipstream to see what's up.

Please note that I have had one problem with this installer. I use HFCLEANUP to remove lots of stuff. VMWareTools was stopping my installs because it needed the HTML help subsystem. I am probably the only weirdo that this problem applies to :lol:

@TAiN:

Basically, I made the installer for nothing... :)

@NtegrA:

Please remove at least these:

gdidettool.exe (blocked)

scripten.exe (you have the newest version too)

Windows-KB890830-V1.14.exe (you have the newest version too)

Windows-KB890830-V1.19.exe (you have the newest version too)

If that doesn't help, remove ALL hotfixes that aren't on MY list.

@Kiki:

Don't delete the CATs and remove these:

SFC_OS.DL_ (from FIX)

gdidettool.exe (blocked)

every hotfix that isn't on my list (including the Sri Lanka timezone update)

What you should know is that HFSLIP used to put most hotfix binaries on the CD, but only those which are also in "officially supported" hotfixes were copied to the hard disk during Windows setup. The current versions DO copy most files to hard disk during Windows installation. So if a hotfix adds blahblah.exe, 60810 would put it on the CD but it was never copied during Windows installation because none of the "officially supported" hotfixes contain such a file. HFSLIP 1.0, however, makes Windows setup copy it to the hard disk, into SYSTEM32.

No, your installer is *more compatible* with HFSLIP/HFSVCPACK, just that my peculiar config choked on it. I plan to leave your installer as the one hosted.

thanks TC! i will follow as directed ... ;) in some other runs though i have already removed all Sep & Oct HFs + WMP HFs too + gdidetool (although i have not removed SFC_OS.DL_ yet) & still the result was the same ... what puzzles me is this used to work with earlier versions! so what stumps me really is how come it does not anymore ... :wacko:

what's even sadder is i won't be able to do some tests for the time being as my temporary resolution to my PC prob has lapsed (i just actually borrowed my sister's processor but she already took it back :( ) ... i hate it when i cannot report results to you guys ... :(
