Hi, Unless you and your friend both work for a cpmpany that has a volume licence agreement with MS and they have given you a VLP copy of the Widnows media, then it sounds like what you are doing is illegal. You should not share the product key and WGA validation is designed, I believe, to check such...

I agree, I think this one would be best put off until they release the fix for this, or at least until WMP has been updated to work with this fix as well. Since you'll probably see problems with using sites such as Creative's update site if you use this patch, as well as it breaking Quicktime, (whi...

Hi Ryan, I agree with your point of view. So long as the shared components of the finished installation are no different whether only the Update pack and/or the WMP10 add-on was used in the slipstream process, I can't see there being any problem at all. A quick question I have is that if the hotfix ...

Hi Ryan, Just a quick question - when you revert the msi.dll version in the next pack update, will you be completely removing KB900730? I ask because KB900730 uses msi.dll v3.1.4000.2457. If you revert from v2510 to v2435 that will cause QFECheck to complain (as I've seen on my system using the curr...

If you're talking about a corp environment, you won't use Ryan's pack for any reason anyway. It has far too many things that are unneeded in such a setting.
