Tomcat76 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just a little heads up... We're not there yet...I upgraded the WMP11 executable a few days ago; a newer version was released of which the latest binaries are dated November 2nd. The one I was using till then contained binaries last updated on October 19th.This upgrade fixed some problems, but an important one still remains: the post-setup wizard is broken.Right before the flying Windows animation is supposed to start an error dialog with these details comes up:Title: msoobe.exe - Application ErrorMessage: The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812a5b.The only site with more info on this error related to msoobe.exe is a Japanese forum It seems that one or more of the WMP11 core files are responsible for this, but not the new files like wmpeffects.dll; the problem is to be found among the files which already exist in the original Windows source.

the_guy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 boooggy had this problem with his wmp11 addon pack. KB898543 seemed to fix the problem. Maybe try this and see if WMP11 slipstreaming works then?the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yes, the_guy is correct. KB898543 is the OOBE fix for WMP11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki Burgh Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 you may try to check this link TC if it would be of help: http://boooggyaddons.xable.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks. This does it.I'll unleash it in the next test release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Localized versions won't be supported. They still break Windows (themes, network connectivity, Event Viewer logs, etc.) and there are no localized versions of KB898543 or any other public hotfix which updates msobmain.dll to fix the msoobe error.

boooggy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 u can contact m$..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 @Tomcat: If you can't get localized versions of KB898543, you can always try KB894871.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) Nice post count KB894871 is non-public too. Believe me... I already did an extensive search the other day and the KB898543 hotfix was the only "downloadable" I could find. This is how I also figured out that the missing background music on the post-setup wizard when slipstreaming WMP10 is a known issue to MS...@boooggy...Nice to see you here Contact MS? Sure... And then make the links public? Edited December 1, 2006 by Tomcat76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boooggy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 well tomcat if you have a retail xp u can ask m$ support for that specific hotfix in your language......or even if u have an oem copy u can ask ...but i am not sure they will give it to u.... or even better u can try look if that fix is on xable's share in other languages then english....

the_guy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) It's on the share in both Dutch and English.Maybe unlock WMP11 for Dutch, if necessary.the_guyEDIT: For the themes issue, would KB319740/KB908536 work to fix it?

Tomcat76 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 @boooggy...Don't know if you realize this, but this is the HFSLIP forum. I can't tell every non-English person to call MS for something that I consider a "severe" problem which requires a public update. Calling MS will only help myself.@the_guy...WMP11 wasn't really "locked" for other languages since its slipstreaming was introduced into HFSLIP. It's just that the first test release didn't copy over the relevant local binary from the wmfdist11 subpackage for non-English languages, but that's taken care of now in the latest release. The only problems are that localized versions of WMP11 are still "bad" (at least the Dutch one) and there are no public updates for non-English msobmain.dll files.There's an unofficial German XPSP2 update pack floating around. I'll see if I can do something with that for the German folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) I just looked at it, and it includes msobmain.dll.the_guyEDIT: KB894871 is in the upload section for German and French Edited December 1, 2006 by the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boooggy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) i agree tomcat i know what u say.....i had the same feeling when i had to fix this issues for my wmp 11 pack.....and its stupid from m$ to create a installer that it creates other isuues....ok u might say that wmp 11 was not created for slipstream....bla bla....they knew that users will do that ....i was thinking that we may report this issues at m$ but i dont think they will move a finger....i did that with ie7 beta2 and its still broken in ie7 final....
