hansenjr Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi, I've been trying to slipstream the windows update agent on my 2003 SP1 server cd and I have not been successful. It looks like it is successful but when I go to window update I have to install the update for windows update first. I have included WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe in the HF directory as well as MUWEB_SITE.CAB in the HFCABS directory. Can someone please shed some light on as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) MUWEB_SITE.cab itself does not force Windows Update to recognize the presence of the MUWEB.DLL file. Instead, you must import another file, which I have attached here. Put this in HFSVCPACK.If you are also slipstreaming/integrating/installing IE7, you may encounter additional problems with slipstreaming of the Microsoft Update Agent.

hansenjr Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks for you quick response, but I do not see the sfx file that I need to import. As far as IE7, I should be ok for now since I do not want to integrate it at this time. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Try that post again. The board upgrade (IPB 2.2.x) changed the way files are embedded in posts, so I had to edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansenjr Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Got the file this time. Do I need to put WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe in the HF directory too or do I just need the MUWEB_SITE.CAB in the HFCABS? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Wow, many posts about WU and MU today! WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe is for Windows Update. You need that for many things, but I'm not sure if Microsoft Update requires it or if the MUWEB_SITE.CAB file covers it all. It's best to include both in case you want to switch back (but it's not much faster either way). It's your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansenjr Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Great. I will try this first thing tomorrow. After I re-run HFSLIP I should no longer be asked to update windows update correct? Thanks again for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 As long as you include that DataStore.exe file in HFSVCPACK, you should be fine. Report back if you have any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki Burgh Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 hi S-M! not much time to dig deeper about this ... i just 1 very quick Q though ... would this be applicable to XP as well or to 2K3 only? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glentium Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 @Kikipardon me for gatecrashing here, but if you have no problem with WU and HFSLIP, I suggest you just leave your current HFSLIP setup as is... i do have a W2K3SP1 HFSLIPed DVD and I have no problem with WU..

hansenjr Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Same problem. After installing 2003 server I click on windows update and it tells me that I need to install an active x control for windows update. I click on install and it just hangs. It never even gets to the express or custom page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Magician Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) @hansenjr, sorry, but I guess my workaround only works on XP. I will try to find out how to make one for 2K3.@Kiki, yes, it works on XP like I just said (I've been using it for many months).@glentium, many people prefer using Microsoft Update rather than Windows Update. The person who started this topic was looking for a way to slipstream the MU DLL. Edited January 18, 2007 by Super-Magician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
