There is nothing running in the background for legit users.

techtype

Well, if it popped up at random and said "Thanks for Running Genuine Windows", that would be a problem. But, it's totally invisable and really causes no problems that I can see. It seems to be required already. Add it then.

techtype

OK, this is the command that XPcreate uses to accomplish that very deed. (I had to take time to verify it):

Code: Select all

CDIMAGE -L%CDLABEL% -YD -N -H -X -OCI -M -D -BXPCTBOOT.BIN CDROOT %XPISO%

techtype

Edited to remove untested idea!

techtype

Don't include the file in the source directory, point to it in another location. It is not needed as a file, only as a boot image.

Yeah, except by the time you get that done and make your new ISO, Microsoft will have released another one.

How did you integrate the pack?

techtype

I think he left the old fastfat.sys in the pack to revert anybody who used the prior pack.

techtype

which is the nLite integrated drivers.

Oops! Gave yourself away there.

techtype

The reason that I was checking is because I have some Universal Images that were based (before they were turned into Universal Images) on an install from your latest pack. I'm considering changing out fastfat.sys in the images. However, I wanted to be sure that you had not found anything new that wo...

@Ryan

What is your current thinking on this? Any new insights? Were you able to replicate it consistently?

It was not entirely clear, but she did not mean you. She meant the person you were referring to. She loves you!

Edit: already cleared up, I've got to learn to type faster.

techtype

As you said before, it seems very odd that no one else has reported this. Is it possible that it requires another factor along with the hotfix, one that is unique (or almost so) to you.
For example, your tweaks plus the hotfix.

techtype

To be completely honest, I don't entirely disagree either. However, I think the biggest thing to have is discretion. I learned the hard way that adding every fix under the sun is a bad idea. However, there are some areas where I want to be as current as possible, such as the kernel, wireless driver...

techtype

I hate to be the one to point it out, but this is an example of why some of us dread seeing non-public hotfixes included in the pack. Somehow, no amount of pre-testing can screen out all the real-world problems. A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct t...

Uhhh, he's referring to the lines in the "Code" part of his post.

This one: KTT_OOBE_DeleteAddon_V1.1.CAB gave me trouble with network connections.

techtype

Try turning off your antivirus and any anti-spyware programs and shut down any other monitoring programs.

techtype

jum lets see, im trying to get it smaller. lot of repeated files, but that isnt my main priority right now, right now i just want to make sure it works and works perfectly. Well, you've done a hell of a job already. I changed your method of running cmdent.cmd and cleaned up a few uninstall strings....

techtype

keytotime - the issue is much greater than just msoobe. It completely breaks IE as well. However, I have my suspicions that the issue lies with the hotfix itself. I'm working on confirming that right now. EDIT: Yup, I just confirmed that integrating the hotfix with the /integrate switch causes the ...

techtype

While dgelwin is sleeping, did anyone figure out how to get rid of that t-13 error properly? Editing the inf did not kill it and I don't see it in cmdent.cmd.

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.

techtype

Yes, everything was back to perfect now! Thanks

techtype

Might be just a bad day to release? This one wanted to install Latest version of Microsoft Installer, then latest WGA, then requested a reboot --- all this upon first visit to Microsoft Update. Your version 1.0 did not do this, but maybe they changed stuff today?

techtype

The only thing that I can say is that it works properly with VMware 5 after your fix. Before the fix, it exhibited the disappearing window and silent reboot as you reported with Virtual PC.

techtype

Thanks for sharing this!! I'm always looking for just the right minimal pack. You did a very nice job of selecting what to include. I'll be testing this when the new Dotnet 1+2 release is available.

techtype

jum, i might not get this up tonight, so if your waiting on the update, plz be patient. i am currently cleaning up my machine, it was running really slow and in need of a format. ill get back with any info on when release will be. We'll live even though we're dying for this one. As pennance you sho...

Could we delete KB900730.cat from the pack and drop the new file into i386 in the pack?

techtype

I seem to recall that windows Installer 3.0 had this problem when it was released and was immediately updated?

techtype

OK, I tried Nero 6.6 (I don't use 7 because of it's numerous bugs) and Office 2003. Both installed perfectly normally. I would focus on trying a pure RyanVM install using the RyanVM Integrator if I were you. Edit: I was able to duplicate the problem installing VMware tools similar to what Ryan had s...

@digital777

You would have to give enough details of what you did to diagnose:

What all did you integrate? (Include everything)

How did you integrate? (Include all your steps, don't leave out nLite for example)

Too, too clever!! Will these generate any errors in the logs?

You may want to replace the corrupt files with the ones from the 202to202a package. Ugh. How do I get them? Anyone have them zipped? Maybe you could try looking at the first post in this thread: Version 2.0.2a has been released. It is recommended that those of you who previously downloaded 2.0.2 up...

How did you integrate the hotfix onto the install? If you used a program such as HFSLIP or nLite, that may be where the problem is. I did not use nLite. I simply used the conventional C:\<hotfix> /integrate:c:\<XP source> Anyway, is there a way to add this hotfix AND use the RVM update pack? The wa...

@Siginet, thanx for how to create addon for cat files, what i will do is create a separate addon for regestering the cat files, that way you can integrate that addon if you use sfc original, but if you use sfc patched there is no need to integrate seeing as how windows wont protect your files anywa...

@ RogueSpear You are never going to get anywhere if you keep working from an incorrect premise.

I didn't use Nlite, I did it manually. It's just a way to try to point people in the right direction as far as what the problem is, as it's a common thing for Nlite users to experience, from what I've seen on other forums. Fair enough, but you are mixing in other modding methods. Those of us who us...

You've got these packs perfected now! I tried the larger one and it's ideal for conservative, professional users.

Thanks very much for this work!!

techtype

Maybe Ryan could have a filter for this forum -- as soon as the word nlite appears, the message is replaced by "Refer this to the nLite forum".
