HFSLIP - Test releases

[the_guy]

Gotta ask: If this release handles WMP9, does this mean that we can (finally ) include other wmp9 hotfixes (i've seen people include other wmp10 hotfixes)?

HFSLIP has supported WindowsMedia9-KB917734-x86-ENU.exe for Win2K for a long time.

Are there any others?

[the_guy]

They are non-critical, but KB817855 (wmpns.dll 9.0.0.3002), KB884723 (wmspdmo(d/e).dll 9.0.0.3254), KB885641 (qasf.dll 9.0.0.3254), KB886610 (drmv2clt.dll 9.0.0.3259), KB887078 (wmvcore.dll 9.0.0.3259) and KB885353 (wmnetmgr.dll 9.0.0.3260).

There is also a long list of WMP10 fixes for XP, and a few hotfixes for WMP10 for 2003 SP1.

For those you'd need one of the experimental releases. The current stable doesn't automatically pick up new binaries from Type 1 hotfixes.

BTW... It just occured to me that you probably won't get a shortcut icon for WMP9...

[the_guy]

@Tomcat: That's weird. What happens in XP and 2003 is that there's just 1 in the start menu for all users. Maybe do the same for 2000?

Also, what someone should do is (if it was supported by HFSLIP) make a list of WMP hotfixes (that aren't on WU).

Windows XP has the shortcut out of the box because of WMP8 and 9.

If it can't be done with one of the INF files in MPSetup.exe or a special command on one of the executables, I may have to drop WMP9 slipstreaming. Force-adding it is not an option because the "Start Menu", "Accessories" and "Entertainment" folders are named differently depending on the language.

[the_guy]

Weird. Are you sure none of the INF's in the wmp9 package don't add the shortcut?

the_guy

[Tomcat76]

I think I found it. Just a sec...

[Tomcat76]

You can try "exp4" if you're up to it...

I won't be adding/changing anything for now until I start testing over the weekend. Still need to think about wmp6cdcs.exe for Win2K.

[the_guy]

Ok. Quick question: Would I be able to post a WMP hotfixes list? I'm just asking to see if HFSLIP would support these.

the_guy

[Tomcat76]

Don't know if you're able to... Only you can know

Sure... Start a different thread. I'll take a look at the list if I have some time

I should stop saying things like that...

A few questions about the experimental releases:

Since you're telling all users to ditch HFSPLUG1.CMD, does that mean everything is incorporated in the experimental releases now (60923exp and later)?

Also, at one point you said only so-and-so was supported. Has this been updated?

Finally, what does "wip" stand for in the filename?

[Camarade_Tux]

WIP -> Work In Progress

Whoooaaaa.

I'm working too hard, I don't even know which day is it.

Ok, in fact, I know we are saturday because I don't work tomorrow.

But I'm still wondering if MS already released this month's hotfixes.

...quick calculation..., answer is yes.

I'll try to test this new release asap.

[Super-Magician]

@Camarade_Tux, slow down there, buddy!!

The test releases already support this month's hotfixes . I've still to take a look at the experimental releases, but they look promising !
