FYI - I probably won't bother with a bare addon now that you've got one up. Since my goal is a clean MU anyway, WGANotify is the route I'm going to take.

Ryan please correct me if I am wrong, but I think once you have the 'bare' WGA addon installed, MU does not list 'WGANotify' for download. Atleast that is how it worked so far, not too sure now with v1.7.17.0

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:56 pm

AFAIK, WGANotify is prompted now regardless of whether or not WGA is already installed. Feel free to prove me wrong - it's an easy enough experiment.

Hey,

Using your add-on, I take it KB905474 will not show up on Windows Update or download via Automatic Updates?

laze.

that's incorrect...the wga notify will still show..

wga is in two parts, this is just the file that MU/WU forces u to install before i will even show you what u dont have...the wgan (notifications) is a separate set of files that hook into winlogon.exe...in other words, KB905474 (the notifications) is 2 things...1. NOT in this addon...and 2. NOT needed by anything, it's just bloated crapware, especially if u are legit...it just adds more crap for ur system to load up without good reason...

my $0.02

But don't you want no wga crap showing on windows update? Don't you want wga crap on your pc? Do you think that wga crap is stupid?

spidercop · Post by **spidercop** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:58 pm

Yep, you're correct.

[dosnet_files]
d1,Wga.inf
d1,Wga.dll

Your addon contains legit.dll not Wga.dll so your addon triggers a "file missing" error during install.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 7:19 pm

fixed sorry.

bober101 · Post by **bober101** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 11:16 am

evrything gets copyed right, but i dont think the legitchekcontrol.dll is getting registered right in the system, so windows updates says that theres no wga in my system.if i compare ure addon to ryans old one, ican see that he added reg keys to be imported relating the the version of the said wga.or maybe im just having bad luck and its supposed to work...

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 7:54 pm

This will not tell the update service WGA in installed this will just show your windows as validated when you goto windows downloads or the update site.

bober101 · Post by **bober101** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:05 pm

i see,but on ryans old addon,the previous version of wga did not appear as an update to do.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 3:14 am

Yeah, um, afaik, I think that's because M$ didn't force you to re-download WGA before... but now it does, regardless of whether it already detects that you have it.

M$ is gonna do this like the Malicious Software Removal Tool for now:
New WGA every month, and MUST be installed (unless, of course, you uncheck the little box in MU)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

bober101 · Post by **bober101** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 2:34 pm

well its more as this is bare wga so the wgatray.dll isint registered in the system so its logical that m$ sees its not installed.but thet fact of having a previous version of the wga and having to update to stay uptodate is true,but its also true that u can stay at an older version...untill they implant having a minimum version.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 7:36 am

Yes, exactly... Huh?!?!

(I've had a few beers, but STILL!!)

WGA is complicated, and I won't even pretend to understand all the different parts. All I can tell you is that this addon, in a nutshell, prevents you from having to download a Hotfix from MU, then restart, just to SEE what you need to download, therefore saving you a download and restart when you check MU.

BTW, Kel, when's the final comin', yo?

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:37 am

NEVER!!!

The damn ps on my system just blew so it will be a day or 2...

BZJoe · Post by **BZJoe** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 12:43 pm

Thanks for this KEL. Going to use it now for an install....

Kakaru · Post by **Kakaru** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:49 pm

Thanks a lot for this addon.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:21 am

Love this, Kel!!

Now, if you can get this thing to even prevent WGA from showing up in the so-called 'critical' updates list as well, that would be SWEET!!

Still, though, it works real nice as it is.

Myself, I remove Securtity Center with nlite and use MU manually, so I just uncheck WGA. But this saves me an extra step. REAL nice, buddy!!

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun May 13, 2007 1:34 am

I updated this to 1.7.36.0 and tried like heck to get it to act like the full WGANotify hotfix but nogo so it remains as is.

SoKoOLz · Post by **SoKoOLz** » Sun May 13, 2007 7:42 am

thx for the update ^^

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Fri May 18, 2007 10:06 am

Thx, Kel. Appreciate this.

Hey, I know you tried.

Still, all I gotta do now (with this pack added on) is uncheck WGA when I go to MU, so... works for me!!

Post by **5eraph** » Fri May 18, 2007 10:16 am

RaGhul, you know MU settings are kept in DataStore.edb, don't you?

Uncheck WGAN, close IE, stop the Automatic Updates service in SERVICES.MSC, copy the file out, then restart the service. There you go.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:59 am

Actually... no. I did not know that. Thx for the tip.

Maybe I could make an addon to do that automatically?

BTW, I always gut 'Automatic Updates' out of my XP anyways.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 8:40 pm

@Kel,

Xable just split up his "High Priority Light Update Pack". I always just integrated his pack (as it was), and also added your BareWGA Addon. Now, his WGA Addons are separated.

He's got 2 different addons, as you can see here: LINK

So, should I use yours, his, or both of them together?

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:35 pm

OMG use his it's and actual bare WGA hotfix-type. WOW

.cat file and all.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:28 am

Hehehe, I take it from your enthusiasm that you had never taken a look at his WGA addon before.

Well, if you say it's the bong, I'll bite. He makes some pretty good stuff, that Xable guy.
