What about KB890830?

Pretty sure thats what u ment since there is no KB890930.

So what do you mean:

NEW: Created Medium Update Pack for all you whiners out there.

Just wondering what you mean by that...

And thanks again for all your hard work and time!!

Thanks for the fast work, Ryan! Visited your sight not expecting 05 to be out yet! Will quick download before your bandwidth is used up!

Question: So if i use the 1.04 to 1.05 update, do I get the exact same result as the full 1.05 download? Specifically, will shutdown.exe be the original Microsoft version, or the psshutdown.exe version?

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:18 pm

Yes, I put the original shutdown.exe in the 104to105 upgrade.

Don't worry about bandwidth, it's running on my FTP server. What happened last month won't happen again.

larciel · Post by **larciel** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 12:02 am

hmm. i just did clean install

one prob is,

qfecheck shows all hotfixes are current on system. but windows update shows KB885836

and i had to edit line 376 of hivesft.inf .. probably my fault because i played w/ nlite.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 12:15 am

I'm seeing that too, larciel. Still trying to track down the cause.

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 1:07 am

Hey,

Web site says:

FULL: Removed WhoLockMe until further notice due to issues with start menu.

But wholockme is still included the full installer, within the RVMUpPck.cab file. Also in the upgrade back.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 1:36 am

Yes, but it's not even being copied from the CAB file. Relax

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:23 am

k just lettin u know..could save some bandwidth lol

well just finsihed and wmp 10 installer is broke..not u just letting everyone else know...other guys problem..

but anyways qfecheck though reports 883523 needs to be reinstalled for some reason....guessing maybe because i used the nlite hack to change max connections ?

Glad to see you confirmed it and not just me.

cybpsych · Post by **cybpsych** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:38 am

integrated 1.0.5 Full Pack a while ago, installation went fine but with just the known bug of KB885836 shown in WU.

hope everything will be solved soon

thanks for the great pack RyanVM!

Well, 883523 is for imapi.sys IIRC. The cause of the issue is that Windows is for some reason copying the version from driver.cab instead of i386.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 12:14 pm

Regarding KB885836, the good news is that the updated file is properly installed, so the Windows Update message is safe to ignore, albeit annoying

jrf2027 · Post by **jrf2027** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 5:47 pm

[quote="RyanVM"]
[*]BOTH: Changed KB887078 to WMP10 version (works fine with WMP9).

Couple of quick (and probably dumb) questions about this change:

Do any file version conflicts pop up when installing WMP10?

Will KB887078 need to be reinstalled after upgrading to WMP10?

I'm not slipstreaming WMP10 into the Windows install, I'm installing it via RunOnceEx after Windows installation is complete.

I'll be clean installing a computer tonight, so I'll edit this post with any results I find. (Experience - the best way to learn anything!)

RogueSpear · Post by **RogueSpear** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:45 pm

Just curious; I looked around to see what the issue is with WhoLockMe but couldn't find it. I've really become addicted to this little tool. Is it something so serious that you would recommend I NOT enable it on my own?

I had never noticed any problems with it.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 10:19 pm

jrf2027 wrote:Do any file version conflicts pop up when installing WMP10?

Actually, the point of adding it was to avoid such a conflict.

Will KB887078 need to be reinstalled after upgrading to WMP10?

No.

RogueSpear · Post by **RogueSpear** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 12:13 am

Well I guess that answers that. I'm so dependant on this utility now I think I may still end up using it. It's too bad we even need a utility to get around this great "feature" of Windows.

maska · Post by **maska** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 10:36 am

Off topic:

I also had problems with WhoLockMe: drag and drop desktop functionality was down, sometimes the desktop freezed and some other small annoying things. So I had to take it down.

Ryan i changed the KB885836 inf entry to this and know it nolonger shows up in windows update. And if the driver files are copied from driver.cab, you can chose merge driver.cab in nlite and then copy the update files into the tmpdrv before nlite recompress driver.cab.

It must be a bug with the way the DWORDs are being written. Weird.

Thanks for the find.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 6:44 am

Sure, and Ryan when i post the threads on how to add the hotfix's i don't do it for your sake i do it so other people who don't know as much can add the hotfix's to there uxpcd's.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 9:51 am

Ryan, are you gonna write some tutorial about how to translate your update pack?

So far only my Dutch Version is at 1.0.5
German version is at 1.0.4

shame on you

You mean it's just a registry issue which brings KB885836 to appear in Windows update ? Have you fixed it ?

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 12:17 pm

It appears to be an issue with the INF, yes. It should be fixed for the next release (which I may do sooner rather than later instead of waiting until February).

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 10:20 am

Sounds good. Would love to see a 1.06 soon.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Take Care,
Will

ETA of 1.06?

Post by **RyanVM** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:09 am

It'll be 1.1 and I'm hoping to put something together this weekend for a release next week.

TJHart85 · Post by **TJHart85** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:13 am

If you get it done that fast, it'll only have been a 2.5 weeks since 1.05. This either makes you very good, or Microsoft very bad

Post by **RyanVM** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 9:26 am

1.1 is going to have a lot of post-SP2 updates that haven't been officially released. See hp38guser's thread just below this to get a better idea of what's coming.

larciel · Post by **larciel** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:40 am

eta for v1.1 ?

thanks always

When it's done & tested.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:54 pm

Yup, saw that today.

(For the record guys, if it's on Neowin or Warp2Search, you can be pretty certain I'm already aware of it)

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:59 pm

All you need to do extact the update and then makecab it and then copy it to i386.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 10:40 pm

You guys will be happy to know that your problems with files being copied from driver.cab instead of i386 should be fixed with the next release. I'll be adding the updated files to driver.cab as well.

At this point, 1.1 is pretty much in final form. I'm hoping to give it a few days worth of testing to make sure the bugs are gone, and I'll be aiming for a public release near the end of the week.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 11:22 pm

I'm not going to add the Web Folders update. I did a little research, and it turns out that this is more of a new feature than an update. If you extract the files from the MSI package, it turns out that only two of the 8 files included are even on the XP CD (and they're in FP40EXT.cab). Furthermore, web folders are part of the frontpage server extensions, which I'm betting most of you don't even install (I have it disabled in my winnt.sif personally). Finally, I did a quick comparison and discovered that a 7zip installer is roughly the same size if not a tad smaller than a cabbed version of the 8 updated files, so you'd actually be better off making a switchless 7zip installer if you want to install it.

Will you do the same with sp2.cab ? http.sys and imapi.sys are concerned for it. I had to remplace the files in it to make it work ...

Also, you said the other day :

I'm going to look into installing the CAT files directly from my INF too, but that'll be a project for a future version.

Are you currently working on it ? I hope that'll fix the problem that Jander and me had on our system ...

Cheers.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 12:08 pm

The .msi is on the xpcd. Also @ Lucius Snow Ryan stated in one of his posts that the driver cabs will be merged. Also if you look in C:\WINDOWS\Installer you will find the .msi there.

Code: Select all

webfldrs.msi = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0

Hey Ryan,

With Microsoft doing the new valid license requirement for the hotfixes, are you going to be affected for creating your Package?

Any ideas on what might be happening?

I've been wondering that too.

According an article i read today, it should happen from the middle of the year.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 7:23 pm

They should affect the pack, this is a check inorder to see if you have a real xp install and not pirated. As soon as you pass the check you can download the update. Then everything is normal. They do not password protect the actual files.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 9:06 pm

It'll make no difference as far as the update pack is concerned. Breathe easy you dirty pirates
