k. deleted that one. its been a while since i made one

stumbled across the site last year and made one up then. figured i'd make a new one to save me the 200mb download. 2mb line now instead of an 4mb. sigh.

Hello. New user of your pack here. Thank you, it makes things a lot easier for everyone.

Small "problem": Ran Microsoft Update after installing windows and KB941569 and KB936782 pop up when they should be installed already? I checked WinUpdatesList and they're both there but KB936782 doesn't show up when I do qfecheck. Is anyone else getting this?

Are you installing WMP10 or WMP11 (or integrating them into the CD)? That would require you to reinstall them for the newer version...

I am integrating your "RyanVM WMP10 Addon Version 3.1a". Would I have to integrate that first and the update pack after? Thanks.

I think Ryan means you make sure you're using a clean CD to slipstream and use the latest pack(s). If you're using Nlite it doesn't matter the order, but I don't know about the Integrator, I've never used it. :::ducks:::

Why don't you like Booogy's 11? Just curious.

It'll probably work, but I stopped maintaining the WMP10 pack a long time ago and have no intentions of updating it in the future.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 1:05 pm

The integrator allways integrates the UpdatePack files first before integrating the addons. So you do not have to worry about the order.

1.) The WMP10 pack is way outdated and doesn't contain those hotfixes.
2.) I'm not actively maintaining the WMP10 pack anymore, so use a WMP11 pack if you want to be up to date.
3.) It's not an Update Pack bug

yiuc1 · Post by **yiuc1** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:23 pm

I thought that the update pack would install the hotfixes needed. OK, thanks, I'll check out WMP11.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:01 pm

Yeah, it installs all the hotfixes needed for a default XP SP2 installation. WMP10 doesn't come with SP2, WMP9 does.

newsposter · Post by **newsposter** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:54 pm

one clue would be to check the date of the hotfix or addon packs you're trying to use......

Hi ryan
Thanks & appreciation for your great work on this latest updatepack.

Btw one clarification?
I see that the addon for Directx-9.0c (End User Runtimes) [June 2007] is removed from your main site: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack-sp2.html
What does this mean?
Is this no more required, being integrated into the latest updatepack-2.2.1?

regards

pmi · Post by **pmi** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:40 am

Well, in this case I think it means that there is a new version available. Search the forum for directx9c and you will find it. You can also use the older version until some game prompts you that the update is needed.

Post by **5eraph** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 2:18 pm

Ryan is no longer updating his DirectX addon, Bhishmar, and it is not included in the Update Pack. However, you could try Nico's addon.

Which portion has changed? I don't use the winnt32 method. What do you mean by changed? What is the difference you see?

The initial 'copy files' portion of the winnt32 (network) install. It used to be the normal blue fullscreen Windows XP installation screen with the installation minutes and file copy progress bar on the left side.

Now its just a boring window with the copy progress. Im now also required to use the /norestart switch, that I didn't have to use before.

What does the optimize system files do? Could that have something to do with it?

date and time properties shows " automatically sync with time server" grayed with the option checked in.

most likely I'm using something to cause this ,so I'm only looking at this for comparison in response

My NOD32 complains bitterly about the latest integrator when I try to download it. It has always been right in the past. What gives ?.... Can I use the latest pack with the previous integrator?

Post by **RyanVM** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 9:47 pm

Did you read the first line of the changelog or the first post? It quite clearly answers your question..

TechnoHunter · Post by **TechnoHunter** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 9:58 pm

@Ryan :: eh? the first line of the changelog says do not integrate over previous versions.. i didnt read anything about NOD32 (anti-virus) complaining about the integrator itself... unless of course you are answering someone else other than mineja

-wanders off to play with computers again-

mineja · Post by **mineja** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 10:04 pm

Crikey - are you two sitting right behind me? OK, I have the answer to one question and that is I must use the latest integrator. NOD32 will not allow my Opera to complete the download of the integrator even though I know Autoit is probably OK.

mineja, Im running NOD32 3.0.621.0 and it allows me to download correctly. I don't know if its because I'm using another browser (Safari for Windows) or another bittorrent client (uTorrent). Maybe your problems aren't related to NOD32, but caused by your browser or your bittorrent client. Why don't you try with another program?

Just my 2 cents

mineja · Post by **mineja** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 1:21 am

this getin off-topic. My last word - My NOD32 2.70.39 fully updated. I had to disable IMON & AMON to download, then add the exe to AMON exclusions before re-enabling both. There may have been another way but that's what I did.

mineja · Post by **mineja** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 1:28 am

Now that I'm registered and can post, here is a long overdue .... THANKYOU RYAN a thousand times over for what your packs have done for me and the disabled folk whose computers I maintain - over the last few years (yes I've been a closet user since close to the beginning).

TechnoHunter · Post by **TechnoHunter** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 5:29 am

@mineja :: sounds like a project! speaking as one volunteer to another keep up the good work

glad you were able to get the integrator down/installed.. i wonder if the NOD32 site lists AutoIt as a virus or if something went wierd.. take it for what it's worth but i will say that my AV doesnt trigger on it..

have fun

Setuperr.log Errors
I used latest RVM_Integrator-1.5.1.exe with RVMUpdatePack2.2.1.7z, and a single addon (RVMAddons_1.8.3.7z). I checked & verified the checksum-hash of all these 3 files.
But I am getting the following 2 errors in setuperr.log (apart from plugin.ocx) after installation in Vmware, even though I get a working Windows-XP.

Code: Select all

Error:
Setup detected that the system file named [c:\windows\system32\calc.exe] is not signed properly
by Microsoft.  This file could not be restored to the correct Microsoft version.
Use the SFC utility to verify the integrity of the file.
***
Error:
Setup detected that the system file named [c:\windows\system32\makecab.exe] is not signed properly
by Microsoft.  This file could not be restored to the correct Microsoft version.
Use the SFC utility to verify the integrity of the file.

Is these errors normal? Are others getting these errors or only me? What could be the possible cause of these errors? Both the files calc.exe & makecab.exe are from RVMaddon-1.8.3, I presume!

Also to confirm whether the integration has gone reliably, I repeated integration two times, each time from the original XP-SP2 source, filecomparing the output file-set of the integrator to see that they are identical.

Can ryan or other experts throw some light?
Note: My system is running Windows XP Pro, DualPentium-E2140, 1GB RAM.
Thanks & regards

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:55 am

Bhishmar, those errors are common for file replacements that don't use (sfp cats) so they are treated as unsigned files ..
the ones you posted are probably arriving from kels Uber-pack which is known to make these specific file replacements. or from some other addon having these files ...

Thanks ENU_user. But can some other expert also confirm this?
I am not using kel's pack. Infact I am using only one addon. Ryan's-(RVMaddon-1.8.3.

So I find this setuperror rather puzzling & troubling. I am paranoid

with any error appearing in logs.
I would rather like to keep them clean, so that when a real error comes, it catches my attention earlier, and saves me a lot of trouble. (Story of ignoring wolf scare

)
Moreover I read somewhere that ryan claims the setuperr.log will be clean of any errors if his addon is the only one used (except for plugin.ocx err).
Thanks & regards

Post by **5eraph** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 4:59 am

Ryan's addon replaces those two files.

I don't know where you got that information concerning setuperr.log, but it's false. There are no CATs to cover those two new files, so it is normal to see them in setuperr.log. You have nothing to worry about.

Thanks 5eraph. I think u are right.

Ryan's faq was singling out plugin.ocx error to be ignored, and there was a time with ryans older packs that no other setuperr errors occur.
I must have got the wrong impression from that & some of his earlier posts.

Post by **RyanVM** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:32 pm

The FAQ doesn't cover my addon pack, only my Update Pack. Nowhere do I claim that the addon pack will be 100% SFC-approved. I only make that guarantee for the Update Pack.

Basic reading comprehension would dictate that the pack was released on March 2nd, 2008, which is before the 2nd tuesday of the month when MS releases new fixes. So this would be an update pack with fixes dated at the latest from February.

However, if you want to make an unoffical March update pack, the only release this patch tuesday is MRT. Have at it.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 10:16 pm

Yeah, March's patch Tuesday is a bit anticlimactic.
