cab compressed authentic hdaudres.dll (from kb888111) to replace the corrupt version in 2.1.3

after applying 2.1.3 to your cd, overwrite the file in i386 with this one.

ophiel

I have successfully implemented a replacer function in Reg2Inf version 0.24, but I can't seem to find a qualified list of INF variables anywhere... - Can anyone please provide a list ? (eg: %1642% = %ProgramFiles%) this actually day one for me in doing INF files, but i don't think xable's links are...

ophiel

the extra 8mb is probably a couple IE fixes plus MSI and WGAN

thanks ryan! you kick ass again. it'll be a dark day when you finally grow tired of this project and we all have to get up off our lazy asses!!

ophiel

i'm a card dealer, really easy money, but a pretty horrible working environment. nothing harder to do than keep the habit kicked while customers are blowing smoke in your face all night. first computer i owned was a very nice intel dx2 66 with 16mb of ram. had a 340mb HD and a 17" sony trinitron mon...

ophiel

That order is correct. You've been here long enough to know by now--to have seen quite a few posts asking the same question. Believe what you already seem to know. ;) The only advice I can give you is not to get carried away adding things with the Integrator, or taking things away with nLite. Test ...

ophiel

i usually do things in this order:

RVM Integrator
NLite
Driverpacks

is there a better order to do things, and if so why?

ophiel

duh? it's generally accepted that you don't need all those extra updates unless circumstances force you to. they're not meant for general consumption. they're specific fixes for specific problems.

ophiel

the first link is no longer available, and the second link improperly sets the SystemSetupInProgress value to 1, which breaks a huge amount of software if you happen to run it after setup (like i just did).

ophiel

damn, i'm just slow aren't I?

ophiel

this month's patch wasn't worth the effort anyways. have fun Ryan!!!

ophiel

i already posted about this at MSFN, thought i'd share it here too svcpack.inf method: [SetupHotfixesToRun] reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW /f reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f dotnetfx.exe /Q /C:"install.exe /Q" reg add HKLM\SYSTEM...

ophiel

wtf is qfe and gdr?

gdr = windows update ones and qfe = the fixes they don't test well enough??

ophiel

that's not legit at all. it's a good idea to have an inquisitive nature regarding software when one lives near the piracy capitol of the world.

that being said, the update pack would probably work. it's worth a try anyways, you've got nothing to lose.

ophiel

i've never ever ever had an issue with the merged cabs, and quite frankly i don't think it's possible for it to be an issue.

ophiel

good sir, i assure you i did not mean any disrespect. on the contrary, i feel it is important to show respect when i demand it, a lesson you could do well to learn. ....and ryan's addon includes ZERO regs for 892130. the reason i give Ryan credit is because although it would be very easy for me to c...

ophiel

a.) an addon of this type would serve no functional purpose b.) if you benefit from the time that nlite saves you, and the ease with which it performs complex tasks, removing the tiny footprints is just plain immoral. (read: taking credit for nlite's modifications) c.) if you wish to make such a CD,...

ophiel

Shameless selfpromotion. ;) My addon and Kels takes this removal a step further and applies the necessary regs for LegitCheckControl.dll Sorry hijacking but I hope it helps explain! what exactly are you explaining? the regs you add must not be necessary since this (Ryan's) method works perfectly wi...

yup, that's what i do too. except b4 i make the iso i do a winnt32 /noreboot to weed out the upgrade files

ophiel

not sure if it will work with nlite.

but you can integrate it with the RVM integrator and then nlite your CD, that's how i do it.

the only difference between this addon and the other one is this one doesn't add a bunch of registry entries.

ophiel

sounds like you're not working with a clean source. neither Ryan's update pack nor this addon pack do that. to see if autologon is enabled, open up winnt.sif which is located in the i386 folder of your source. scroll down to the [GuiUnattended] section and see if there's an entry which says: AutoLog...

ophiel

this is Ryan's WGA addon -without- WGAN.
it won't bring the the messenge ast win startup.

in other words: This is KB892130, that's it.
in plainer words: This is legitcheckcontrol.dll, that's it.

ophiel

i agree with your observations about %temp%. i guess all that's needed then is a double-check to see if cleanup was successful? if there are file-access issues with removing the temp folder, then moving it would be a very good idea i think. if not to %temp% then to somewhere at the root of the drive...

ophiel

i'm experiencing a form of this bug.

my oversize CD is due to "rvmtemp" being left behind in the i386 folder.

please use a folder outside of my source for temp usage. %temp% may be a good place.

ophiel

since the log gets trashed every time you run the Integrator i no longer have it.

it's not needed anyways.

all that's needed is to move the temp files to a place other than my source.

ophiel

why isn't there a forum for the Integrator? anyways, here's the deal: Integrator 1.4 sometimes fails to cleanup after itself, leaving a "rvmtemp" folder inside the I386 of your source. could you please set the default working directory of Integrator to %temp% instead so that if it fails cleanup is d...

ophiel

damn. must be nice to have 64 bit hardware with 10+ GBs of RAM.

this company started in my backyard, i should check em out.

ophiel

despite my crying about the missing 892130, i think it's the best update pack yet. thanks for the hard work Ryan.

ophiel

Meh, suit yourself. That being said, I think people would be better served with a pure KB892130 addon rather than a hacked up KB905474 addon. it is only 892130. as far as being "hacked up" it's not exactly a complex addon to modify, it consists of 4 files and took me 5 minutes. did you even look at...

ophiel

better link added.

ophiel

I know there are other WGA addons that do exactly the same thing, but I like Ryan's method so I modified his RVMAddonsWGA_1.5.540.0.7z and removed WGA Notifications (KB905474) from it. damage done: ini and inf modified, wgalogon & wgatray removed. always use the newest RVM Integrator. Ryan gets all ...

ophiel

let it show for the record:

wga (aka legitcheckcontrol.dll) allows you to download updates from microsoft/windows update.

wga notifications (aka wgalogon.dll & wgatray.exe) is unnecessary bloat that doesn't impart any extra functionality.

ophiel

i think the current situation is exactly what should please you: there's no wga at all in the latest pack.

stop disagreeing with me, haha

wga is good.
wga notifications is not.

ophiel

yes there is. hence my words:

so if you're going to make wga separate, please at least do us the favor of separating wga notifications (unnecessary bloat) from regular wga (which IS necessary for normal windows operation)

ophiel

i understand why wga notifications was removed, it's a bastard of an update....but why did you take out "normal" wga too? the single MAIN reason i started using your pack ryan was because of the nice clean legitcheck integration. the FIRST time i ever modified your pack was when you included wga not...

ophiel

i'm getting 404 errors for all of the download.php mirrors

ophiel

i only want to install WGA, not the whole pack.

will this addon work as a stand-alone update?
