Hi all,

Is there a tweak to stop WLM pop up asking to install the new version ?

This forced upgrade at each new version is very annoying ...

Thank you.

Lucius Snow

Thanks 5eraph !

Lucius Snow

Hello all,

My question is in the subject

. I know it existed for IE7, now for IE8 ?

Thank you very much.

Lucius Snow

Code: Select all

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Genuine Advantage","InstallID",0x0,"{30F230D0-7940-499e-8A01-748682288985}"

That's exactly what i was looking for. Nice

Lucius Snow

@Lucius I assume that those keys are just for WGA N and not for WGA V ? Oh yes, probably. I've tried to update myself redxii's addon (like i usually do) with the new version but the update keeps showing in Windows Update. So i tried to find the new registry keys with RegSnap, and that's how i found...

Lucius Snow

It seems that there are new entries in the registry with version 1.9.40.0. It looks like this (what does the MAC adress of the ethernet card do here ? :shock: ). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Genuine Advantage] "EulaState"=dword:00000002 "EulaVersion"="1.9.40.0" "GSSS"=dword:0000000...

Lucius Snow

I've got the same problem : KB898461 and KB942763 both show up. KB942763 seems necessary because it makes a SP3 folder inside the archive. Inside it, there's a new version of tzchange.exe (5.1.2600.5570) which is post-SP3.

Thanks.

OK i've checked again, and Windows update agent is included. What it is asked to download is Windows genuine advantage tool.

Lucius Snow

Can you confirm that the last Windows update agent is included in SP3 ? Or is it still required to download it before checking the last updates on Windows update ?

Thanks.

Lucius Snow

Damn! I integrated it into a 'gold' plain-jane SP2 VLK image, and the ISO grew from 593 MB to 655 MB! Something about that just doesn't seem right... And it integrated just fine for me as well (using standard command-line switches). I installed it in a VM environment without any hitches, and the on...

Lucius Snow

MRT doesn't seem to be included in SP3. Anybody can confirm it ?

Thanks.

Lucius Snow

Can we do the inventory of what will be missing in SP3 ?

- IE7
- WMP11
- HDA support (though KB888111)
- .NET Framework (all versions)
- Windows Update agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.381)
... What else ?

However i suppose WGA will be included.

September only ?

Do you think it'll be the same for the final version ?

Lucius Snow

Il y avait des MSU dans ton lien précédent. Le nouveau est bon !

Lucius Snow

Excellent, merci ! Comment exploite t-on les fichiers MSU ?

Lucius Snow

Bonjour,

Quelqu'un aurait les liens directs pour télécharger les patchs de février ? Certains nécessitent WGA.

Et aucune des bidouilles anti-WGA ne fonctionne chez moi

Merci.

Lucius Snow

Je suis aussi à la recherche de KB922599 ! Si vous trouvez quelque chose ..

Lucius Snow

Oui, l'option unicode est obligatoire, du au format des fichiers sysoc et svcpack et non pas de rapport direct avec le apck en lui-même ! Le pack est terminé avec une pettite correction merci à Lucius ! Je suis en train de mettre à jour d'autres pack et faire d'autres modifs, il sera mis à jour/lig...

Lucius Snow

Thank you very much Sereby. The problem is now solved ! The update doesn't appear in Windows update anymore. By the way, where did you get these lines from ? what's the explanation ?

Lucius Snow

Hello, Has anybody suceeded to integrate KB896688 ? My question concerns more people who make a pack translation. Qfecheck sees it as installed properly but it still appears in Windows update. Here are my entries (using the checksum and buildate of the french versions) : [KB896688.AddReg] HKLM,"%SP3...

Lucius Snow

Congratulations man

Lucius Snow

Working perfectly

Lucius Snow

Oh great, thank you. I'll try that and let you know.

Lucius Snow

up

Since Ryan is not ready yet, i'd like to continue the development of the french pack on my own. And i still don't understand how KB898461 and KB903235 work. Do they only write stuff in the registry ? I still don't know if some files must be remplaced.

Thank you.

Lucius Snow

It'd be nice to keep also a manual install for those who want to translate the pack.

Lucius Snow

Hello all, I'm trying to integrate this patch but that one seems a bit different than the others. The documentation says : The following files are installed in this folder: • Update.exe.ref • Updspapi.dll.ref • Spuninst.exe.ref • Spcustom.dll.ref • Spmsg.dll.ref • Spupdsvc.exe.ref What is this .ref ...

Lucius Snow

I've found out the origin of the problem. It's due to the patched SYSSETUP.DL_

Lucius Snow

That'd be great to have a 1.3 version with all these new critical udpates added, without waiting for the next big release next month.

Am i dreaming or is this possible, Ryan ?

Lucius Snow

Same problem with the previous version. I'm wondering how come your integration method interferes with Alcohol. I've never had that before ... By the way, when you add the entries in the [Files] section of DOSNET.INF, do you do it on the first or second section ? Same question for TXTSETUP.SIF, is t...

Lucius Snow

None of the packs are appropriate to non-english O.S.

Lucius Snow

Hey Ryan, With Microsoft doing the new valid license requirement for the hotfixes, are you going to be affected for creating your Package? Any ideas on what might be happening? --Leviathan I've been wondering that too. According an article i read today, it should happen from the middle of the year.

Lucius Snow

Oh sorry, haven't checked that other thread. Cheers.

Lucius Snow

You guys will be happy to know that your problems with files being copied from driver.cab instead of i386 should be fixed with the next release. I'll be adding the updated files to driver.cab as well. Will you do the same with sp2.cab ? http.sys and imapi.sys are concerned for it. I had to remplace...

Lucius Snow

@ jander : The Alcohol issue is back

I thought it was gone but no ... Any ideas ? Thanks

Lucius Snow

If these hotfixes are not available in download and that you request them to Microsoft, i guess you'll get them in english. So we can say goodbye to the translated versions of your pack ... I won't request the french version of these hotfixes since i don't own a licensed copy. Then, i think you shou...

RyanVM wrote:It must be a bug with the way the DWORDs are being written. Weird.

Thanks for the find.

You mean it's just a registry issue which brings KB885836 to appear in Windows update ? Have you fixed it ?

Lucius Snow

All hotfixes are now properly installed and Alcohol doesn't complain anymore

Lucius Snow

Issue resolved : The last 5 hotfixes (remember i had 13 on 18 of them) were not installed because KB887078 blocked them (notice that one is positionned at 5 before the end of the hotfix entries). The reasons are either a/ %WMPUpdates% string isn't declared in rvmuppck.inf or b/ This hotfix is design...

Lucius Snow

Sorry but i still don't understand :? You mean doing that before preparing my ISO ? Or Add that line to RunOnceEx for example ? The question is dumb but it's not clear ... That command writes Ryan's pack in the registry so i need to install it for the install, not during my preparation process befor...

Lucius Snow

Run this command from where exactly ?
Do i let rvmuppck.inf uncompressed in \i386 too ?

Thanks.

Lucius Snow

Thank you very much ! It works now ... except for the following hotfixes which are not installed : ;# KB887078 - Windows Media Player returns NS_E_INVALID_DATA error playing Fast Cached content ;# Date Version Size Filename ;# ------------------------------------------------------ ;# 01-Oct-2004 10,...

Lucius Snow

Alright. If i let things like that (with Qfecheck telling "The following files are not valid in the system catalog" for all hotfixes), may it cause any trouble with Windows ? Still they're not properly installed ... @ Jander : can you give me more details and explain step by step your method ? Thanks.

Lucius Snow

Thanks jander. Well i haven't understood really but i'll have look more closely at Gosh's site.

Ryan : Do you think that project will be done for the version 1.0.5 ?

Lucius Snow

RyanVM wrote:OK, let's start with the basics. Are you all booting from the CD? Or are you running winnt32.exe manually?

What others informations do you need ?

Thanks for helping.

P.S : You remember i sent you an ISO of a french copy of XP Pro + SP2. Maybe by having a look at it, you may find clues.

Lucius Snow

I only have one version : Windows XP profesionnal (with SP2 slipstreamed). What about you ? Have you tried another version ?

Lucius Snow

I've just tried. Exact same result.

Lucius Snow

@ jander : no progress on your side either ?

Lucius Snow

No worry mate.

When i saw that capture, i deducted it. That's why i did a new test on VMware immediatly. However, it doesn't still solve the problem. Qfecheck gives me the same result.

Lucius Snow

Manual as in running winnt32.exe Ah i see. EDIT: And I don't know WTF you're looking at, but I see it mentioned in the instructions to add the entry... DOSNET.INF Find the first [Files] section and the following lines directly above it: [OptionalSrcDirs] svcpack Next, add the following lines inside...

Lucius Snow

Like i've said, i always do it manually. I added this entries and testing on VMware now.

You should update the instructions page to mention to add these entries.
