johndoe74 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) his tommy and tomcat. regarding that problem i mentioned here, it still persists and I haven't been unable to make it go away if IE7 is slipstreamed. granted I do have a ton of hotfixes in there but still, i put IE7 in the mix and the error keeps popping up. IE7 won't install if i put it in SVCPACK (i guess that's got to do with activation bulls***) but if i take that same IE7 setup (made by hfslip) that was supposed to be installed at T13 (SVCPACK) and put it in HFGUIRUNONCE, it gets installed just fine and the mmc error is nowhere to be found. could you guys maybe try and figure out what gives ?

Tomcat76 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 So you do need to activate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe74 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) no no i don't need to activate, that's all taken care of if you catch my drift but this mmc thing is driving me nuts Edited April 8, 2007 by johndoe74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Well... I suggest you ONLY include IE7, its hotfixes and KB928255. Leave out everything else. Does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe74 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 hi, tried what you suggested, didn't work. please see attached .log file. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I see several problems with your log.1) You are including IE7 hotfixes that are unverified2) You are simultaneously including a previously-made silent IE7 installer in HFGUIRUNONCE which may be broken3) HFCABS contains DX9 files that are not supported and don't apply to the OS in your SOURCE folder4) LegitCheckControl.cab needs to be named LegitCheckControl.cabDo the following:1) Remove all files from HFCABS, HFSVCPACK and HFGUIRUNONCE2) Include only these files in HF:IE7-KB928090-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exeIE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exeIE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exeWindowsXP-KB928255-x86-ENU.exe3) Add IE7SLIPSTREAM=1 into HFTOOLS\HFANSWER.INI4) Run HFSLIP againYou said you tried the three methods HFSLIP supports regarding IE7, but you haven't explained which method you actually want to use.Please include HFANSWER.INI next time too.

johndoe74 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) dang i thought i removed all the incriminating evidence, messed up leaving legitcheck behind didn't I so could you help me out with which DX9 files should and shouldn't be in hfcabs ? i added the stuff from the april 2007 release as wellanyways, about that thing in hfguirunonce, i saw that when i was uploading the .log file and removed it right then. i'd already added IE7SLIPSTREAM=1 to hfanswer. i'll get back to you once i do it again your way, i mean exactly your way thanks amigo Edited April 9, 2007 by johndoe74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 If you go to my XPSP2 hotfix list and put a mark in the checkbox for "Extra DirectX 9.0c gaming binaries from DirectX 9.0c April '07 Redist (48.8MB)", you'll see which cab files are supported in the section "List of files that go in the HFCABS folder".

johndoe74 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 on second thought, if it's anything other than those x64 files, please enlighten me. how could i have missed those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe74 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) the description on your page shows *XACT*x86.cab and *xinput*x86.cab files are supported but your list doesn't include those files. how come ? should i keep them ? remove them ? why ?

Tomcat76 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Sorry. I forgot that the list doesn't show all files supported by HFSLIP Apart from the x64 files, you need to remove these:Apr2006_MDX1_x86.cabApr2006_MDX1_x86_Archive.cabdxdllreg_x86.cabdxupdate.cabRemote Desktop Connection Web Connection (msrdp.cab) is not supported.

johndoe74 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) in the woids of the inimitable bugs bunny, it woiked man! i don't exactly know what exactly it was but after i tried with only those hotfixes you suggested i was still getting that issue, but i went with your suggestion about hfanswer and replaced mine with a stock one. now in that one of those things that sticks out is that i had selected cats to be deleted whereas in the new one they're not. you think that could have been the cause ? well, anyways, i'm trying to screw it up again - deliberately this time - just to see what gives wish me luck. and thanks a ton for your help.

johndoe74 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 err.... about those cats ? could they have been behind all this nonsense ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 If you don't have the necessary files in the FIX folder then I can imagine this happening. HFSLIP only asks you if you want to delete CAT files if it detects those files in the FIX folder, but if you "force" HFSLIP to delete CAT files via HFANSWER.INI this check doesn't happen.

johndoe74 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 no no i meant to ask i had deliberately set for those cats to be deleted (i did have the required files in the fix folder but it saves time doesn't it ?). could they have been the cause of the error i was getting ? i.e., the ie7 screwup ?
