[BETA] Update Pack 2.2.1b2 + Integrator 1.5b32

[Outbreaker]

Why spending so many time on the Integrator ? Wee have nLite for intergreeting stuffs.

[wireman121]

Ryan, why is KB941569 something that is not part of this update pack? Just curious.

Also, I installed this on 4 systems today and had the same results as Jason when going to MS Update website.

On a off topic question, will you have a new WGAN package out soon that will include the 2 updates that are missing? (KB892130 which is required for the MS Update page to work, and KB905474)

Why spending so many time on the Integrator ?

It has been in beta testing for at least 5 months everything needs to be straightened out b4 an official release.

it is better to be safe than sorry

Wee have nLite for intergreeting stuffs.

The new integrator has new features that nlite doesnt have. for example the new CREATECAB & EXPANDCAB allowing addon makers to edit different cabs other that driver & sp2.

Also there is a new EDITFILE section of the script allowing addon makers to edit files that you cant do with nlite

[Siginet]

Why spending so many time on the Integrator ? Wee have nLite for intergreeting stuffs.

Because the integrator is the Official program for the UpdatePack and Addons. It allways has been. Ryan wanted an official program and I volunteered to make it. Bottom line is 99% of any addon features came from the integrator.

Please stay on topic though. This is a thread for beta testing the updatepack / integrator. If you do not wish to help then you have no reason to reply.

First, for a newbie like me (be gentle) this forum is an outstanding resource. I'm learning on the fly. Upgrading Vista notebook to XP Pro. Prominent among addons are several found here at this board - thx all. Testing with virtualbox.

Used beta update from torrent site. After install windows update site reported I needed KB892130 (Wdws Validation Tool). All else apparently up to date. Thx Ryan!

Thx Rick. Your XP sidebar is sweet!

Ryan, why is KB941569 something that is not part of this update pack? Just curious.

Traditionally it's been because I wasn't including any WMP9 updates in favor of maintaining my WMP10 pack instead. However, since I've stopped updating that, I may have to reconsider that policy. I still think it would be preferable to use the WMP11 slipstreamer instead, though.

On a off topic question, will you have a new WGAN package out soon that will include the 2 updates that are missing? (KB892130 which is required for the MS Update page to work, and KB905474)

Yes, I will.

Here goes a newbie-like question...sorry!

I have usually tested on an old Dell machine, but its hard drive gave out and I'm waiting on a replacement. In the meantime, I thought I'd test the new beta integrator and update pack on MS Virtual PC 2007 (which I haven't used since WGA came along, prefering to test on my old Dell).

I have been noticing other people on here seem to be able to check for Windows Updates on Virtual PC... How the blazes are you guys doing that?

My Windows XP on Virtual PC obviously doesn't detect the necessary hardware from my actual computer to make it detect as legit, so what do I need to do to run my tests on Virtual PC and be able to check Windows Updates?

Needless to say, I tried a search on Google and here already... Any help is appreciated!

By the way, it seems the beta Update Pack and Integrator seem to be a complete success...! Automatic Updates came up with just KB941569, which was to be expected.

[mr_smartepants]

@willpantin
This is off-topic, but I've posted about this before. I'm guessing you use nlite to remove the old drivers from XP...VPC needs those. Don't remove the old (crusty) drivers, and VPC works perfect.

[OKECOVE]

Integrated WMP11 using Boogies integrator into a fresh installation, then used your latest update pack and latest integrator, made a new disk. Ran a test on virtual machine and had no problems.

Thank you Ryan for a job well done.

I don't know how they do it either without activation. I check using Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

If you have automatic updates on, it will let you know if you need any update packs... at least that's how I do it.

Additionally, you could use WindizUpdate.

Not using VPC, Virtualbox instead. Haven't activated XP yet so I get the 30day popup. I just go to the wdws update site inside VB and click on details to see what I need for update. In my case it was just the Validation Tool which is another addon.

[Mandarin]

Run this on VM Ware and just completed an install on my laptop and everything seems to be working perfectly.

I install with around 50 addons including RogueSpear's runtime packs and they are all working correctly with this new release too.

Thanks Ryan and nice to see you back on the board.

[pen25jf]

Quick question: I have boooogy's WMP11 add-on pack before he decided not to continue updating it (the one I have is from April, I think.)

Using Nlite, does it matter the order (Ryans, then boooogy's/vice versa)?

Thanks, and thanks Ryan for the pack, nice X-Mas present

[underdone]

Quick question: I have boooogy's WMP11 add-on pack before he decided not to continue updating it (the one I have is from April, I think.)

Actually booogy has moved from creating an addon to making a slipstreamer specifically for WMP11. You can get it here. http://web.clicknet.ro/boooggy/

[colornokia]

Ryan, thank you for the update! It's working really good here but I found something really interesting - in Driver.CAB the version of irbus.sys is 5.1.2600.2180 (the original one, not 5.1.2600.2825 from KB912024. Could someone confirm that too?

[RyanVM]

Using Nlite, does it matter the order (Ryans, then boooogy's/vice versa)?

I don't believe that ordering matters with nLite due to file version checking. That said, I would ALWAYS integrate my pack first before ANY other addons touching i386 to avoid any problems. Remember people, you wouldn't integrate a service pack after all your addons (at least, I would certainly hope not...), and my pack is almost a service pack in and of itself.

Nice catch. I'll look into it.

[niuus]

Works like a charm. Used WMP11 slipstreamer, RVM 1.5b32, and nLite. Not a single error. Great work Ryan.

[waynet]

fwiw, just did a beta slipstream with a couple other wrinkles, tested on virtualbox. Microsoft identified 4 "new" updates, all apparently related to WMP shortfalls:
KB936782
KB941569
KB929399
KB939683

[5eraph]

Please check the FAQ, waynet. Media Player updates aren't included in the Update Pack because most people seem to remove it with nLite, or update it with addons or slipstreaming utilities.

[larce]

hello

anyone can post direct link for me because my isp block torrent

[quest221]

RyanVM
Can you add the IE7 reg to the update pack?
when I installed xp in vmware workstation,it always inform me to install Internet Explorer 7
and also the KB905474,how to make this hotfix removed in update pack?

thanks!!

[redxii]

IE7 is available as an addon.

WGA Notification (KB905474) is not included and available as an addon.

Ryan has always said WGA, IE7 and WMP11 will remain SEPERATE from this pack.

[quest221]

redxii, Kelsenellenelvian,thanks!
I don't like IE7,it's ugly,I think.
I add the IE7 block reg to update pack myself and succeed.
Now I just need WGA hack.

[5eraph]

You won't find a WGA hack here.

Ryan,

On my installation CD I used the WMP11 slipstreamer and the updates listed on the website (http://web.clicknet.ro/boooggy/) and the integrated the following with nlite:

DotNetFx_All_In_1_Addon_v2.7z
onepiece_ie7addon_1.9.1_enu.7z
RVMAddonsDX9_1.4.7z
RVMAddonsWGAN_1.7.18.5a.7z
RVMUpdatePack2.2.1b2.7z
WindowsDefender_1_1_593.cab

I ended up with the 2 WGA updates I listed in my original post (which you said you will be updating the WGA package, so thats solved) and also the KB941569. My question is if I integrated WMP11, then shouldnt KB941569 not matter anymore if it is a WMP9 update?

Other than that, the update pack worked great and those were the only updates listed on the site! nice job,

[willpantin]

EDIT: I am very embarrassed about this, but I discovered the problem I described below had NOTHING to do with Ryan's pack or the integrator...!

Aaaargh! I hate to admit it, but I want to save anyone else time looking for a problem that does not exist.

What happened: After integration, I wanted to replace the Trial version of WinRAR with a similar installation program, except that it contained my registration file, thus giving me a full version of WinRAR when installed.
This worked great in my XP Home install, but in my XP Pro install I took out the Trial WinRAR.exe out of the SVCPACK folder, but somehow failed to replace it with my new WinRAR.exe...! I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone...

Summary: Ryan's latest pack and Siginet's integrator work flawlessly. They seem to be performing as finished products, and not Beta versions...!

DISREGARD OLD POST BELOW THIS LINE! Thanks.

Hi, Ryan!

I have been testing using VPC 2007. I am very, very happy with your latest pack and integrator. I have only caught a very minor annoyance, which doesn't make much sense.
After running the new beta update and addons through the new beta integrator, I noticed sometimes items placed under "SetupHotfixesToRun" in svcpack.inf (svcpack.in_) don't get installed. I am not sure, but I am guessing the erratic behaviour has something to do with the order of integration. I will give an example, using integration of 3 types of addons: Siginet's OEM addons, Kels Java 6 v3, and WinRAR 3.71 (can't remember who placed that one on these boards, but very nice):

Everything seems to integrate fine when the last section of svcpack.inf ends up like this:

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
Java6u3.exe
OEMSCAN.BAT
WinRAR371.exe /S

However, WinRAR 3.71 does NOT install if svcpack.inf ends up like this:

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
WinRAR371.exe /S
Java6u3.exe
OEMSCAN.BAT

However, to compound the mystery, there was another difference besides the order of these files, and I need to test that as well. I had the succesfull svcpack.inf in my XP Home SP2 integration, and the unsuccessful one (with the different order) in my XP Pro SP2 integration.

[mr_smartepants]

WinRAR371.exe /S

If I had to guess, it would be because that's not 8.3 compliant.

[bober101]

these files arent in the txtsetup phase so i dosent matter whether they are 8.3 compliant or not.thats my best guess,and id suggest putting all ure [SetupHotfixesToRun] entries into 1 cmd or bat.

[boooggy]

wireman121
KB941569 is an update for all 3 wmp: wmp 9, wmp 10 and wmp 11.
because microsoft build it diferently compare with previous wmp hotfixes this particular one (KB941569) cant be integrated with wmp 11 slipstreamer yet. so u have to wait for new version of wmp slipstreamer .....

[wireman121]

AH ok I understand now. OK Ryan I guess that gets you off the hook for adding KB941569 into the update pack then, huh?

[willpantin]

My apologies if I led anyone on a wild goose chase. I edited my previous post explaining what happened. It was a mistake of my own doing. Very sorry!

[waynet]

Please check the FAQ, waynet. Media Player updates aren't included in the Update Pack because most people seem to remove it with nLite, or update it with addons or slipstreaming utilities.

thx, still learning my way around here...

[larce]

Code: Select all

KB924667:this hotfix should be reinstalled

i try qfecheck and i got one hotfix need to reinstall anyone can tell me it is normal?

edit:solve

[RyanVM]

You using any addons? Kel's runtime pack comes to mind as a potential suspect...

[colornokia]

Nope, I don't think the problem is Kel's runtime pack. I have it too integrate in my source and I don't have any hotfix's that should be reinstalled

[the_guy]

Run qfecheck with the /v switch.

What files is it erroring out on?

the_guy

[larce]

problem come from nlite version 1.0.1!

i using nlite add RyanVM updatepack and i got hotfix need reinstall but after using ryanvm Integrator all update work correctly

[sasovics]

I am having a strange problem after slipstreaming the latest beta update pack and some addons. After Windows is installed and I try to install whatever device driver on my computer WFP pops up telling me:

Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your product CD-ROM now.

This happens when I tried to install NVIDIA display drivers, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi drivers as well as for my Logitech QuickCam drivers. All drivers are original non-modified and
WHQL signed.

Anyone have an idea what might be causing this bug ? This wasn't happening with previous update pack and I used same source CD and very same drivers...

The update pack and addons I used:

Code: Select all

Source: Win XP SP2 (non-modified)

Boogie WMP11 Slipstreamer 0.96 + all hotfixes mentioned on his site
DirectX_9.0c_November_2007_AddOn_0.3_-_CNC.7z
DotNetFx_All_In_1_Addon_v2.7z
Jre6update3_addon_no2.cab
OnePiece_IE7addon_1.9.2_enu.7z
RVMUpdatePack2.2.1b2.7z
WGA_v1.7.59.1_addon.7z

slipstreamed by RVM_Integrator_1.5Beta32

[newsposter]

larce, you know that nlite is at version 1.4.1 now

[LilSpann601]

sounds like the windows file protection try to disable that i had the same problem

[sasovics]

I am using RyanVM's packs for years and never had this problem ... very strange...

Anyway, how do I disable WFP ?

[Oron123]

Due to security reasons Microsoft disabled the option to disable WFP by only editing the registry.
So, the only way you can do it is by hex editing the file sfc_os.dll.
You can get the hacked dll, or hex edit it by yourself.
But, anyway, it seems very strange to happen with the addons you've chosen.
Maybe the Integrator has something to do with it...

@RyanVM

What do you say ?

[Siginet]

On your disk check the i386\svcpack folder. Are there any files in it? The only known bug in beta32 is that if any of the addons you use contain an empty [Obsolete] section in it then it ends up deleting every file in svcpack. This is fixed for the next release. Which I should have ready later today. Please continue testing beta 32 until then. Just try to make sure none of your addons have an empty [Obsolete] section in them.

[chutz]

Reporting problems here as suggested on the tracker. For the record -- first time I use any of these programs.

I am running the integrator from inside VMWare on a Linux host. Using shared folders for source and destination where

Source is Z:\xpcd and has 0 bytes free.
Output is Z:\makexp\cdrom and has 26G free.

The integrator complains that the output folder does not have enough free space.

If I use a network share for output (like \\mycomp\myname\makexp\cdrom) I get the same error.

If I map \\mycomp\myname\makexp to Y: and use Y:\cdrom for output -- the integrator goes forward.

I have no problem with the integrator being wrong about the free space, but an option to ignore the warning and go forward would be appreciated.

[Siginet]

I know what is causing it. It is because the integrator looks fo : in the path. I thought I changed it to look for : or \\ in the path but I must have missed something. I'll look into the code and hopefully I can change this.
