Due to a hardware failure (no worries, not my hardware) I've transitioned my XPx64 machine to Win10 over the past couple weeks. I still plan on updating this addon and other releases for the next 20 months--at least until POSReady 2009 reaches EoS on 2019-04-09.
All my testing and INF data collection will continue to be done entirely in VMs. And the build process is still heavily scripted; it's just that the scripts run mostly in Win10 now with surprisingly little CMD editing. To create ISOs with RVMi in Win10 I was forced to place a copy of mkisofs.exe in SysWOW64 (I'm still using a 64-bit OS) and rename it rvmisofs.exe. nLite operation is unchanged as far as I can tell, though as a precaution I enabled .NET 3.5 under "Windows Features" before installing nLite just to be sure it would work properly.
I've upgraded to Win10/x64 since it came out.
have had no issues
my test PC for XP updating is a Dell 2400, and virtualbox on my main Win10 rig
happy anniversary on the POSready addon
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
Thanks, everyone. 
Really didn't want to move away from XPx64; it's been the most stable OS I've had regardless of the machine running it. Serendipitously, I decided to start trying Win10 about a week before a friend fried one of his graphics cards. I was using one of his, you see, and he needed it back posthaste. It was only when I bought a replacement for myself that I realized that nVidia's 10-series cards aren't supported in XP (or Win10 LTSB as I found out the hard way, but that's beside the point).
(Seriously, though. Why would nVidia and Microsoft suppport an old 780 in Win10 LTSB, but prevent a new 1050 from working? Seems backward to me. Funnier still, the 780 is still a better card than a 1050 Ti. WTF.)

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
I just did an install using this pack, worked on it yesterday and last night. Very good install, very strong, nice and quick too. Low latency. I decided to break with uSP4 for the time being. Am pleasantly surprised with this install! Had to do it twice, since my first attempt included dotNet 2.0 and 4.0 by another person and something went wrong, so just made another ISO with out, K.I.S.S. approach (keep it simple stupid) always works best!
Thanks for your hard work here!!!

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
Soooo, whatcha doing with that 780? Is there XPx86 drivers for it?
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
GTX 780Ti is better than 1050 . Yes it has driver >
Even 980ti and TitanX

Another weird MS action...
KB4025398 was released containing msinfo32.exe ONLY and is included in this pack.
That file has disappeared from MS Catalog and is replaced by the same KB # dated Aug 28, 2017 but contains msinfo.dll ONLY.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
Very interesting, SHO_GuN. I have the new update and it's ready for me to add.
Should I release an addon update now? Or should I wait for the next Patch Tuesday (two weeks from now)? I'm open to suggestions from all of you. The Microsoft Update site isn't offering the new update yet, but I'll add it now if there's interest.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
What I'm wondering is whether the original KB should be scrapped beings it doesn't seem to exist any longer.
This new version is NOT showing up on MS Update, I just saw it on MS Catalog. I meant to do an install using a previous update pack and see if either are requested but got tied up. I will do that now and report back.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170812
MU is not offering KB4025398 even without it being in the update pack.
I'd just let it go and see what patch Tuesday brings. Maybe a new KB with both the exe and dll?

Hi! Thanks for the upgrade! I have been waiting for it! Let's see how it goes...
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Registry entries given in the "More Information" section of the KB article are in the addon, but don't know how to test TLS 1.1 and 1.2.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
IE8 under XP cannot open those webpages. I'm guessing KB4019276 only applies to IIS, not IE. I do not know how to test for support in IIS.
Firefox 52.4.0 ESR has no issues accessing those sites even when XP is not patched. TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support is built into Firefox. IE does not gain support for TLS 1.1 or 1.2 when Firefox is installed.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Is removing an entry from entries_POSUpdates.ini in the [obsolete] section enough to keep RVMi from removing that specific update?
Update:
I tried commenting the following 2 entries, but RVMi then skips processing the POSReady Addon
The log only shows Processing entries_POSUpdates.ini v Build Date:
I compare the original extracted .7z with the one I created and everything was the same except for the changes I made above. Why is the modified addon not working?

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Can someone tell be how to correctly repack an addon because I just unpacked XPSP3_QFE_POSReady_Addon_20170812_5er.7z and repacked it with
without making any changes and RVMi will no longer process it. It's been so long since I messed with this stuff and I have no clue right now. The hashes are different too.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Maybe because you used a recent version of 7za ?
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
I finally got it working with the following command running 7za from within the addon directory:
No idea why RVMi did not like the way I created the other file mentioned previously.
Code: Select all
7za a -r -m0=lzma -mx=9 ..\XPSP3_QFE_POSReady_Addon_20170812_5er.7z *.*
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
I think it's because RVMi lacks the support of latest LZMA2 archives.
With -m0=lzma you've forced 7zip to make an archive to LZMA (=version 1 or legacy) format, by default the recent versions of 7zip are making LZMA2 archives.
I remember it was the same with WinRAR & nLite (but because it use 7z.exe and 7.z.dll you can update it)

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Anyway, I think you can upgrade the 7-Zip Standalone Console in RVMI by simply downloading the preferred version of 7zip Extra files (latest stable is "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1604-extra.7z"), extracting "7za.exe", renaming it in "7zdn.exe" and copying it to the "\RVM Integrator\Plugins" folder.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171021
Thanks for the infos. I've made a note of it and updated the 7zdn. I did not realize replacing the old 7zdn would
work. If I recall correctly 7zdn was a special version without the compression component included in it. I'm not
sure why this was done that way and if replacing it would break anything.

Is it just me or did anyone also notice that searching for updates on XP now takes ages and runs at a constant 50% CPU?
This problem also occurred a while back with Vista and Win7. MS never fixed it for Vista. It took me over 4 hours to get any results for Nov on XP running wuauclt /detectnow. The same thing happens when you run Windows Update http://www.update.microsoft.com/microso ... x?ln=en-us

It's not just you, I left a computer that I did up for a club running overnight and it got nowhere.
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171115
I've found that Installing the latest IE8 update, and THEN searching, will allow the search to finish within a minute or two. Search for "Internet Explorer" on the Microsoft Update Catalog, order by "Last Updated", then Ctrl+F to find "POSReady" to find and download the latest IE8 update.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171115
People who experience high SVCHOST issue, and windows update hanging for hours, It's because you have Office 2007 or Office 2003 Compatibility pack installed. It's well know and MS will not fix it. The way to fix that is to manually install the office updates, for 2007 and the compatibility updates by hand. Also IE cumulative updates should be hand installed. It's well documented on msfn and proven.
Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171115
Not in my case, Destro. Happens in VM on a fresh install of Windows as well, without Office.

Verified. No Offfice and clean install. MS fixed it on later systems after Vista.
" It's well documented on msfn and proven." Link please.

Search for "Internet Explorer" on the Microsoft Update Catalog, order by "Last Updated", then Ctrl+F to find "POSReady" to find and download the latest IE8 update.

It's well know and MS will not fix it. The way to fix that is to manually install the office updates, for 2007 and the compatibility updates by hand. Also IE cumulative updates should be hand installed. It's well documented on msfn and proven.

Install latest IE cumulative update.
Create a short cut.
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\muweb.dll,LaunchMUSite
Works like a charm every time.

Besides IE Cumulative updates, Also Office Viewers and Office. It's all of them.

Re: [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20171115
I have dealt with this issue myself. These are two different problems. When I update on 2nd Tuesday, it does take hours to do the system search, for reasons I don't know (will try what 5eraph suggested). I also have had the update issue caused by OFFICE, on both 2003 and 2007. These are two differant problems. I have cured the office problem, but NOT adding any more updates to office after installing the Compatibility pack. Does leave me alittle open, but I only use WORD and not that often.
I can do updates thru MS but, long time to do the initial search.
