According to the log, Image Mastering API v2.0 (IMAPIv2.0) is included in the UpdatePack, but when I try to use the windows Defender offline tool to create an iso, I get an error that IMAPI is not installed. I downloaded WindowsXP-KB932716-v2-x86-ENU.exe and reinstalled it and no longer get the error.

I saw the following in the fix install log:

Code: Select all

13.156: Copied file:  C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\cdrom.sys
13.172: Copied file:  C:\WINDOWS\system32\DllCache\imapi2fs.dll
13.203: Copied file:  C:\WINDOWS\system32\DllCache\imapi2.dll
13.219: Copied file:  C:\WINDOWS\system32\DllCache\cdrom.sys

I'm not sure if this is an updatepack problem or something that I did somewhere that required me to reinstall the fix. The tool is a small file and quick to download if anyone wants to see if they get this error too.

I found the issue.

Please download the file below and run the inf.

I'll have to do a restore to test the .inf since I already reinstalled the fix on my live system and no longer have this issue. I'll let you know.

btw if you reinstalled 932716-v2 you would have to reinstall 952011 as well. the latter is on a live system......or use the inf on a live system that has pre 20120614 to fix the issue.

latest beta update pack has the fix builtin and confirmed working imapi2.
it'l be released next week for patch tuesday.

adric · Post by **adric** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:14 am

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by pre 20140614. I have the latest updatepack on my live system. Does installing 932716-v2 break the 952011 fix in the pack?

I did not notice any issues not installing 952011, but I only tested using the mssstool32.exe to download the WDO_Media32.iso (Windows Offline Defender). 932716-v2 fixwd that issue for me.

932716-v2 has 3 files from 5/2/2008
952011 replaced 2 of them for newer 10/30/2008.
by reinstalling 932716-v2 you break 952011.

if you have a running system and reinstalled 932716-v2 you have to reinstall 952011 as well. if you have not reinstalled anything and are running 20120614 and prior, the INF is all you need to fix the issue.

@user_hidden
Have you tested it?

M$ hotfix installer usually installs only newer files (by version) so even if you install an older update it shouldn't replace any newer files...

There is an issue with the included Remote Desktop update; saving credentials is not possible. After countless searches, I found that this is fixed by deleting the entry

Code: Select all

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\AllowDefaultCredentials"

Please consider adding this to your pack to help people avoid Remote Desktop headaches.

I see PLUGIN.OC_ in Service Pack 3, but when I integrate with the UpdatePack, it is no longer in the i386 directory. When you try and create a BartPE iso using the integrated files, I get an error indicating that the PLUGIN.OC_ file is missing. Is there a reason for its removal during the UpdatePack integration?

file was considered obsolete.
if you want it to stay in the integration look into the entries.ini file.
in the section [obsolete_files] comment out plugin.ocx.

so you are saying that reg entry is screwing up saving credentials with RDC ?

this is what is in the updatepack:

For example, assume that you want to turn on the Single Sign-On experience when you use Terminal Services to connect to a Windows Vista-based computer or to a Windows Server 2008-based computer from a Windows XP SP3-based computer. In this case, you would add the following registry entries on the Windows XP SP3-based computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation

REG_DWORD: AllowDefaultCredentials
Value data: 00000001

REG_DWORD: ConcatenateDefaults_AllowDefault
Value data: 00000001

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\AllowDefaultCredentials

"1"="TERMSRV/*"

Yes. That was the reason I had switched to Xable's pack a couple years ago. The Microsoft article didn't help. Eventually I found the answer from a tech guy at the HP forums.

I just tested again. With that entry active (the issue is really the "1"="TERMSRV/*" string), you can't save credentials. Delete it and the option to save credentials is back.

Perhaps you should consider completely removing this particular update from your pack. As I said the Microsoft article didn't help but it was quite enlightening regarding recent non-critical updates to Windows XP:

"However, the CredSSP Group Policy settings are not available as a Group Policy object (GPO) in Windows XP SP3."

Which means that this update causes more problems than it solves to XP users without giving them the means to configure.

Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.10411.0
Microsoft Visual Basic 1,2,3,4 Runtimes

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:41 pm

Absolutely necessary? No, of course not. But for a complete MS solution, and since it is offered through MU if it is not installed, as long as MS is continuing to provide updates to it I would say yes, include it. It doesn't take up much room and it can always be removed if someone doesn't want it.

Cheers and Regards

tomasz86 · Post by **tomasz86** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:24 pm

.NET Framework is also offered by WU (as an optional component) but it's not included in the pack, is it?

I think that .NET Framework is way more useful than Silverlight for an average user.

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:25 pm

Can't argue that. Then the question becomes what are the reasons for certain MS items being included and some not. Is it the rate at which MS updates are usually posted? I guess you could argue you should either add all of them or make them optional? Just playing devil's advocate since I've mostly moved to Win7. Probably should get more comments from those that use User_hidden's pack more often than I do.

Cheers and Regards

tomasz86 · Post by **tomasz86** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:41 pm

Well, it's only my opinion but I think that people wanting to have everything integrated will just choose the OnePiece's Update Pack.

The advantage of using user_hidden's pack is the ability to prepare a minimal installation of WinXP without all the optional components.

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 9:21 pm

I do agree with that basic premise. But I thought that the purpose of both OnePiece's and user_hidden's packs was to end up with an install such that if you go to WU/MU that you find things completely up to date. I'm not sure how u_h categorizes optional items. And you're right about it starting to blur the distinction between the two packs. It's definitely not for me to decide, especially not with my tendency to install everything.

Cheers and Regards

I would also like to express my opinion:

1. An AIO with everything for MS (true integration) would be great because the number of the addons we use will reduce
2. On the other hand, your update pack (as it is now) allows users having a choice of what addons to integrate
3. I think we should not argue about this, and let user_hidden decide by himself.

shiner · Post by **shiner** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 1:14 am

I am using XP only and most likely will be using it for at least 3 more years.
user_hidden's pack is my choice.

1. DirectX, yes include it.
2. VB runtimes, yes include them.
3. Silverlight--well, I have never installed it or even downloaded it.

quote from wikepedia

As of 26 August 2011, 0.3% sites are using Silverlight,[16] whereas site usage of Adobe Flash is around 27%.[17] Usage of Java on sites during the same time period is around 4%.[18]

If Silverlight were on sites at about the same level as Java, I would say--no problem add it, but at its reported level I don't think its really needed.

If user_hidden does add it, maybe make it real easy to "comment out" for people who don't want it. Either way, I will stick with this pack.

I fully agree with 1. and 3. but not for the Silverlight!

As you plan to enrich your UP, please have a mercy and finally include IE8, WMP11 and NetAIO.
I am using your UP every month and I am tired of the burden to fish for the up to date AddOn's.

Thank you very much in advance!

For size reasons, best way to include DirectX 9.0c is as svcpack addon,
but 100% agree that is needed.

Microsoft Silverlight can be installed using his installer. Also are frequently
updated. So it can be like a pain in a...

Agree 100% with direct integration of Visual Basic 1,2,3,4 Runtimes.

Maybe old C runtimes atl/mfc/msvc/70/71 and also Capicom.dll needs too.

Why do not add Internet Explorer 8 too? And maybe Media Player 11.

This is not like nono/onepiece pack because IE8 and MP11 are
things that update features allready included into windows XP.

Also IE8/MP11 updates are allways released when IE6/MP9 updates
are released as high security updates.

Also will not grow-up too much xp install CD size, because will be
replaced some files that allready exists.

Another point, everytime when need to create a new pack, finding one
updated pack for IE8 give us headaches since yumeyao stoped updating it.

Almost everybody of us integrate IE8/MP11 by using RVMI/nLite,
maybe not for reason to use it, but just for security reasons.

dotNet is not included by default into standard xp install CD,
not everybody use it.

Post by **5eraph** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:17 am

I like having options. DX9c and VB Runtimes I can live with. I can remove Silverlight on my own if absolutely necessary. Though not originally suggested, please don't add WMP11; I still prefer WMP10 from time to time and downgrading would be problematic.

tomasz86 · Post by **tomasz86** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:36 am

@vmanda

Not everyone uses IE8/WMP11 either. There is one big advantage of IE6 and WMP9 - they are lighter, therefore take less space in the Windows source. In case of IE6 the Explorer (explorer.exe) is actually faster than when using IE8 so you can keep IE6 system files and use other non-M$ browser to browse the Web. It does matter on an old computer.
