How to do raid drivers and hotfixes correctly.

**webmedic** · September 5, 2003

yes I have even gone so far as to force mdac to extract into a specific directory and then run it form there but it does not as I would like. I think it has to do with the virtual file system used durring setup and so for some reason the commands are not passed correctly. You know that gives me an idea.

I have been using inf files to spruce up the installing of apps and all kinds of things so far I have been able to even install msi based installers which microsoft says you cant even do. I even moved all my installers to the graphical mode but I had these same problems of not finding things correctly. For some reason the inf file bypasses it though. I'm wondering now if I could install this hotfix through an inf file and therefor bypass the virtual file system that is being used.

Hey thanks for the idea I'll get right on it and see if that works. I've tried about everything else. Something has to work. If microsft can break it we can at least fix some of it right.

Oh on a side note I found a way to get around file protection. I'm trying to get it to work like I want now but I should have something for you all soon on this also. Well that is so that themes are used correctly on first boot due to file protection being bypassed kind of. Not shut off but bypassed.

To the end of the Instalation of the WINDOWS Appear Message "PARAMETRO OF INCORRECT ARCHIVE/S/N/U..." That it comes to be this?

well there are three directories that have hot fixes in them.

The first one has all the hot fixes that use the old style icons on them.

Then second folder holds the new style icon ones and the third is only for the mdac patch. However i have not got that working yet.

It sounds like you have placed some hot fixes in the wrong directories.

Also of note I finished up a new version last night that does renaming of the hotfixes so you no longer have to do it yourself. Another new feature is that it extracts the hotfixes in folders 2 and 3 to thier own directoiries now so that you dont get any command prompts. Once they are extracted only the newest files are copied into place so you are sure to have the newest files. It also adds logging so we can debug easier and last but not least I'm testing it right now and hopefully I will have the mdac patch finaly working.

I still have not found a way around hard codeing the paths for the extraction for the hotfixes in 2 and 3. When i get it figured out I'll have it set so you can simply set your path at the top of the file and run it.

In the futer Iwill add back some of hte features that were in the origianl. Most noteable after done with the testing phase I will make it so that the 5th directory (the compiled directory) will not be wiped but rather hot fixes will just apply on top of what you already have. At that point you will simply place any new hotfixes into the proper directory and then run do again and it will just add the newest stuff to your coimpiled directory. In this way you will not have ot compile from scratch each time.

Alright, I've finally got around to testing this method of doing the hotfixes and I'm sad to say that I'm having many problems. Text Mode setup works fine and doesn't give me a single error, but once I'm in GUI mode problems start happening. I eventually get the three following error messages before setup aborts:

winlogon.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.DLL

RUNDLL
Error loading shell32
The specified procedure could not be found.

Fatal Error

An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing.

Setup was unable to initialize Network installation components.
The specific error code is 2.

What could I be doing wrong? I've followed your directions exactly.

Be sure to post that new version when you're done

**webmedic** · September 7, 2003

Yes I will

@bachus Ok I jsut got back let me look at thinga a bit and see the problem is that i have never even once had this sissue..

To note i use this patch with xp pro and you have to have sp1 slipstreamed into it first. Or else bad things could happen.

I have not tested this at all on xp home. I'm still unsure as to why you get those error's at this time though.

**Bachus** · September 7, 2003

Well, I removed q822925.exe and Q823718.exe and tried again and it worked, so one of those is the culprit (probably q823718).

Oh, and I am using XP Pro with SP1 slipstreamed.

**webmedic** · September 7, 2003

ok thanks for the update. If I find out anything else I'll let you know.

**Tbone2** · September 7, 2003

webmedic

Whats the word on your new version of do.cmd?

really enjoy playing with this stuff.

how about that mdac one get it to work yet?

not rushing ya but got a day off and good time to test what ya have

ok ok I wanted to add more to it first just keep in mind this works for me and it is much enhanced over the last versions. But there are still a few places that will need paths changed depending on were you put it on your system other than that it should all work well.

As for the mdac no I even tried making a cmd file for it and loading it that way. If you have any ides on that beast let me know as I've done about everything I can to get it to work.

Please test it like it is as I made a few small changes if it works then great but if not I would sure like any input. The problem is that under the graphic install paths are much different and so forcing it to go silent is not working properly. I would almost say that it may be impossible or at the least I may need to add it to cmdlines.txt and fiddle with it there. At the very least I can say the the catalog and all the files have been put into the installer but it will jsut not register as being there if it does not run through the installer routine.

extract that file into the directory were do is. then you will be able to log your stuff so that we can better debug it will log everything. This version will aslo autorename the files if they are not 8.3 already then they will be when this script gets done with them.

I have also set it up with a tmp directory so you will need a tmp directory were some of the hotfixes are extracted to.

One more thing deltree is not on xp does anybody know of a way to delete direcories? This will dreat directories in the tmp directory but the del command will not delete directories one files. I would like to leave tmp completely clean when it is done.,

**webmedic** · September 7, 2003

never mind my bit about deltree above windows 2000/xp uses rmdir instead. I got it already.

**leo2003** · September 7, 2003

Webmedic, as is the structure of the folders and what it must be placed in each one?

**webmedic** · September 7, 2003

on my first post I have a download that has all this. Better to start at the begining.

**webmedic** · September 7, 2003

sorry also to note I'm currently working on a nenhanced version that will ease things up a bit I hope. It should simplify things at any rate.

**leo2003** · September 7, 2003

With the original structure many errors occur as for example the destination folder was not found
