missing TSHOOT.dll and a couple of others....

Unrelated to previous problem. I am having problems with hotfix KB887472 (MS05-009). From my very first attempt to slip that bad boy into my install, MSBSA 2.0 claims that it's not installed.

You are 100% sure you aren't mixing up KB887472 with KB887742, right? You got both in the HF folder?

AND last but not least.. Any answer to #3 in my original post?

I don't know. I wouldn't mind adding "C" in. TommyP will have to give his consent.

Yup. I've redownloaded it a few times between slips to be sure. No biggie since I shut that off anyway. Was more curious than anything else.

BTW, Added the 7 new HFs that I needed for XP, added the files to the "file flags" section of txtsetup.sif and WALLAH...100% unattended install with no errors. This was in VM, gonna go live in the morning (uh, later in the morning).

Thanks again guys.

HFSLIP test version 60614d adds these extra [FileFlags] entries into TXTSETUP.SIF for WinXP.

WHOO HOO 60614D is the BOMB!

I'm just glad that there is someone smarter than me (JSe on RyanVM.net forums). I would never have been able to figure this out. I'm an admin and all, but when it comes to how setup works I'm like "DUH". heh.

I think the only thing I haven't tried yet is .net 1.1 and .net 2 slipping. will do that now. Now all I need is a good solution to flash / shockwave installation and I am good to go.

couldn't find this answer (I know I'm probably skipping right over it somewhere), was just curious... If I have the SP2 in HF but my source is already SP2, is anything affected (resulting files, speed of HFSLIP, etc..)? Or is HFSLIP smart enough to know that it can skip SP2 integration?

Use RVM's .NET 1.1 installer and Aserone's .NET 2.0 installer; they go in HFSVCPACK.

Now all I need is a good solution to flash / shockwave installation and I am good to go.

HFSLIP supports the integration of Shockwave Flash (for XP: read the 60528 changelog; for other OS versions, see the Test releases thread) and there is a silent installer floating around here somewhere for Shockwave for Director which can be put in HFSVCPACK.

If I have the SP2 in HF but my source is already SP2, is anything affected (resulting files, speed of HFSLIP, etc..)? Or is HFSLIP smart enough to know that it can skip SP2 integration?

You probably lose a fraction of a second while HFSLIP determines if your source needs to be patched or not. But HFSLIP does this check anyway so it wouldn't make a difference to leave it out.
