HFSLIP - Test releases

[Acheron]

I noticed KB975254 isn't installed after setting up IIS on Windows XP Professional with the FTP-service enabled. Even after testing with HFSLIP 1.7.0 A I get this error. For now installing the update manually does the job but it would be even better if support for this security update was added to HFSLIP

hi acheron, hi tp! i actually checked on this (in my last build using 1.7.9) ... tried installing IIS with FTP & WWW sub-components added & i was able to install it completely ... it's found too in HFSLP277.INF (i386) ... used WinUpdatesList by Nirsoft & it shows it as installed ... however, i accessed WU & it shows as an update needed to be installed ... hmm ...

Can someone move the ftpsvc2.dll from sys32 to the sys32\inetsrv folder and revisit WU and see what happens?

hi tp! for me, there's 1 ftpsvc2.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 (file ver: 6.0.2600.5875 (xpsp_sp3_qfe.090904-1906)) & another in C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv (file ver: 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-0852)) ... seems Security Update for Windows XP (KB975254) concern is apparent in the last stable rel likewise ... hope this helps iron this out

edit: let WU install updates just now ... including KB975254 ... left both ftpsvc2.dll in their current locations ... after restart, checked on the vers again & found out that the 1 in C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv has been updated to 6.0.2600.5875 (xpsp_sp3_gdr.090904-1413)

edit2: tried to remove ftpsvc2.dll from C:\WINDOWS\system32 & re-accessed WU ... no prompt to install KB975254

Use the hfslip-1.7.10 _beta_A amalgamated with the name of a file is too long to fit to the original CD PORTABLEDEVICECLASSEXTENSION.DL_ > PORTABLEDEVICECLASSEXTENSIO.DL_ during the installation process will be short of archives, but if you set the disc format to long file names is available, but it just perfect

hi tp! did further checks in: C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\ & presenting it here:

...\SP2GDR is ftpsvc2.dll (file ver: 6.0.2600.3624 (xpsp_sp2_gdr.090904-1413))

...\SP2QFE is ftpsvc2.dll (file ver: 6.0.2600.3624 (xpsp_sp2_qfe.090904-1414))

...\SP3GDR is ftpsvc2.dll (file ver: 6.0.2600.5875 (xpsp_sp3_gdr.090904-1413))

...\SP3QFE is ftpsvc2.dll (file ver: 6.0.2600.5875 (xpsp_sp3_qfe.090904-1906))

just wondering if adjustments would be necessary (based on feedback above) in the next rel? thanks!

Kiki - Thanks for the info, but you had provided the info I need a few days back when you moved the file. For some reason, that particular hotfix adds a new file to the OS. For me, that only means that the HF is not needed.

To all - New beta is up. Test away and report back. I can't make a final until I hear more (or even some) feedback.

[Acheron]

I have tested beta B and I notice ftpsvc2.dll is placed in system32\inetsrv directory. However as this is dll is part of an optional component this file shouldn't be there at all. If I continue to install IIS afterwards the dll is replaced with the original insecure version.

After investigation of the iis.inf install file ftpsvc2.dll is actually renamed from ftpsv251.dll. So to succesfully integrate KB975254 replace ftpsv251.dl_ in I386 directory.

Thanks for investigating the error Acheron. New beta is posted up.

Beta C - Acheron set me straight with the processing of the IIS fix. Thanks!

my apologies if presentation above was misleading (beta b as outcome). thanks for the more updated beta.

[Acheron]

I'm sorry but BETA C still doesn't solve the issue. ftpsvc2.dll is now added to the I386 folder and still doesn't replace ftpsv251.dll.

[tommyp]

Thanks again dude. I found a typo. All should be fixed now, or at least I hope it is.

Just created my Win2k HFSLIP CD with:

UPHClean-Setup.msi in HFGUIRUNONCE

2kDNF11SP120SP2.exe in HFSVCPACK

Windows2000-KB958470-x86-ENU.EXE in HFSVCPACK_SW1

Silverlight3.exe in HFSVCPACK_SW2

All went well except MU wanted Windows2000-KB973904-x86-ENU.EXE even though I put it in HF.

It appears that mswrd6.wpc, mswrd8.wpc, write.wpc are not updated in Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories. Is this a bug or is this suppose to go in a different folder?

My2GirlsDad - A thread was started the other day on this same issue. Long story short, it was discovered that the hotfix isn't really supported by hfslip because WU is expecting new files on your PC. A suitable workaround is to use the HFSVCPACK_SW1 folder. I sent FDV an update for the 2k hotfix list yesterday that says the same.

[My2GirlsDad]

Thanks for the reply tommyp.

I will put in HFSVCPACK_SW1 folder as you suggest.

Thanks for all your hard work. I do appreciate it as this is a great tool.
