HFSLIP - Test releases


Tomcat76

Recommended Posts


Just to point out, I did have my SOURCE folder setup correctly.

I've got it to work, I think maybe things I do to my install after HFSLIP may cause it to break (ie: Nlite)

I ran a test install, only using HFSLIP, Its perfect! And it even means users will no longer need to install NET 1.0 SP3!

Something does break the install, but I don't think its a problem with HFSLIP but possibly Nlite.

I think when nlite edits the files it may possibly remove information added by HFSLIP to the TXTSETUP file.

I'm going to keep trying until I find out what exactly causes the install to break and will report it to all.

When hotfix WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325-usa is extracted.

wmfdist95.exe is not deleted at the end of install from the HF folder.

Also, one request...

Could the MEDIACTR, TABLETPC, NETFX, SONIC, I386 folders and cabs be renamed using all caps when being recreated/recabbed?

OK. The folders are capitalized as well as the cab files that HFSLIP updates.

When hotfix WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325-usa is extracted.

wmfdist95.exe is not deleted at the end of install from the HF folder.

This is by design. If the user has a more recent version of wmfdist95.exe in the HF folder he/she should not be forced to redownload it after running HFSLIP.

O I see...

Isn't there a way for HFSLIP to mark whether wmfdist95.exe is already present and if it is, then replace it with the one from KB900325

If it isn't then del it after HFSLIP is finished?

Thanks for changing the CAPITAL stuff! :D

ha! ha! i always rename this myself too after before finalizing the ISO! ;)

Doesn't CDIMAGE and MKISOFS do this automatically (or if not, with the right switches)?

@antonio_king, I believe HFSLIP already does that.

@Tomcat: Is there any way that you can code HFSLIP to process KB900325 for non-MCE computers? The only difference would be to exclude the KB900325.exe file unless the source was MCE. This is especially useful as there are normal XP hotfixes included in the Rollup.
