Hmmm...can't find KB920883 on Microsoft's site.

Oh, well. Thanks for the list!!

[the_guy]

Oops, meant 921883.

Thanks.

@the_guy, should I have the hotfixes KB914440 (Network Installation Tool) and KB902344 (Update for WMDRM-enabled media players) in my HF folder?

They appear in the "Optional Updates" list for Windows XP SP2 on Windows Update.

[the_guy]

Yes. I also think Tomcat should add them to his lists. I won't be as they're not High Priority.

Do you know if they'll be immediately supported by HFSLIP?

Oh, and on a side note, do you know where I might be able to find a list of fixes for XP MCE?

For XP MCE, I'mnot sure where you'll find a list. Not sure if it's fully supported by HFSLIP yet.

They appear in the "Optional Updates" list for Windows XP SP2 on Windows Update.

Is it possible that this only appears on WU for English versions of XP SP2? I just went to update a Dutch XP SP2 system with the latest hotfixes on Microsoft Update and all I got under "Optional updates" was WMP10 and .NET 2.0...

They are.

XP MCE isn't supported by HFSLIP yet because the main rollup contains hotfix executables instead of separate files.

I don't have a current list but see how far you get after installing these:

WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe

WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325-usa.exe

WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB919803-ENU.exe

This probably is true. However, the KB902344 update is an international update. Probably doesn't occur unless you have a DRM-enabled media player attached to your computer. Does anyone else have this? And are you planning to add it to your list?

Also, for those interested: in order to install KB902344, you must also install KB891122.

[Super-Magician]

And another question: KB891122 contains a copy of wmfdist95.exe, a redundancy copied by wmcsetup.exe. What's the significance of this? And HFSLIP will automatically use the latest version, right?

[Tomcat76]

Also, for those interested: in order to install KB902344, you must also install KB891122.

That's a problem because KB891122 is not supported. HFSLIP doesn't do anything with wmfdist95.exe if it is inside a package; it only handles it when it's "loose" inside the HF folder.

[the_guy]

Actually, 902344 requires wmfdist95.exe.

the_guy

[Super-Magician]

According to the KB902344 article, KB891122 is a prerequisite. However, I just saw that it contains wmfdist95.exe and that file only (I was looking at the list of files in the KB891122 article without realizing that those were inside wmfdist95.exe).

Thanks for the clarification .
