After looking at Ryans pack and seeing that his is the same as mine this is discontinued. Sorry but Ryan and I discussed it and decided he would keep his.

Do you think that this should have"addons" as part of the file name?

Yeah. I have changed my code. I'll upload a new addon.

Here it is: <removed>

Kel, your addon uses Long File Names. Not very handy for people who install from HDD in Dos instead of running the setup from CD.

The name of the addon has to have 'addon' to be useful with the Integrator, no??

i'm not interested in the hacked version. but i would like to know what happens when i download and install the kb892130 wga tool ( the ms release )..... what are the steps of the validation... pls. i need an answer

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 1:30 pm

Umm, it checks your PID with some algorithm that only MS knows and uses that to confirm whether or not it's legit.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 12:10 am

OK peeps I finally updated this one and, yes it does include the nessecary registry entry.

n7Epsilon · Post by **n7Epsilon** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 4:44 am

You should update the version information as well in entries.ini...

I have tested this using FGCBA and my program was able to reproduce the same CAB as this addon cab...

His is an actual hotfix where mine is an addon not much difference really except his adds more registry entries.

nelero · Post by **nelero** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 2:28 pm

Hi,
I've installed the WGA hotfix from microsoft's update website and i've checked the file GWFSPIDGen.dll, but it isn't on my hard drive... Are you sure that the file is required for the last version of WGA validation tool?
Or what it is used for?

Is the version 1.5.512.0 of this good addon a craked version? because i've an original XP version and i'm worry about installing a craked version about the WGA tool...

And also is the WGA plugin for firefox integrated in this addon?

Thanks a lot

Stellvia12 · Post by **Stellvia12** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 2:39 pm

DON'T DO A WINDOWS SEARCH

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GWFSPIDGen.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\LegitCheckControl.dll

They're Not there? They should be and I don't think it's with the addon for Firefox (dont trust me, I'm not sure if it is or isn't).

Post by **RyanVM** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:24 pm

GWSPIDGen.dll isn't necessary anymore with version 1.5.512

nelero · Post by **nelero** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:28 pm

ok thanks Ryan, cause i've searched without windows search like stellvia12 told me and never found the GWSPIDGen.dll on my system

Thanks for your 2 answers

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 5:48 am

OK It's been updated to version 1.5.526

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 8:44 pm

Kel, you might want to add this to your WGA.inf under [WGA.AddReg]:

Code: Select all

HKLM,"%UPDATES%\WGA\SP0\WGA\Filelist\0","BuildCheckSum",0,"9102a"
HKLM,"%UPDATES%\WGA\SP0\WGA\Filelist\0","BuildDate",0,"Mon Apr 10 15:35:24 2006"
HKLM,"%UPDATES%\WGA\SP0\WGA\Filelist\0","Version",0,"1.5.526.0"

Maybe it would also be handy to mention, in your first post, that your addon should be used in conjunction with Ryan's Update Pack, otherwise you are missing even more registry entries.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 8:49 pm

OK will do

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 1:13 pm

I made one too, which can be used with or without RyanVM's Update Pack.
Big thanks goes to RyanVM!

It might be worth noting that no registry entries are actually needed with this addon if used with Update Pack v2.0.4 or later. You only need to replace LgtCkCtl.dl_.

larciel · Post by **larciel** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:30 pm

so i could just take out that .dl_ file from new .cab file and put it in i386 folder and overwrite the file?

Yeah, except by the time you get that done and make your new ISO, Microsoft will have released another one.

Lol, talk about bs... yes you can replace it, but no, the registry entries aren't right.

Post by **5eraph** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:20 pm

ViVa, the only registry entry that Microsoft seems to check for at any time is this one:

Code: Select all

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ext\CLSID","{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700}",0,"1"

And it's already included in Ryan's Update Pack.

The correct registry entries for build date, checksum, and version don't seem to matter for it to work. I've already tested it by downloading Windows Defender from Microsoft.

It also works for the Microsoft Update site.

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 12:15 am

WGA is now a propper hotfix so it follows this general rule of addreg just like any other.

Here`s an example of what a typical hotfix adds to the reg (not including any "extra entries like wga adds for example")

Code: Select all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB873339\File 1","Old Link Date",,""

And here`s an example of the basics that are needed and why.

Code: Select all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; -- Entries To Keep Qfecheck Happy
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\KB873339\Filelist\0","BuildCheckSum",,"54cf1"

; -- Entrie To Keep WU/MU Happy
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB873339"

Now, the extra wga entries are.. (this is straight from the hotfix inf btw)

Code: Select all

;Fix KillBit
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700},"Compatibility Flags",0x10001,0

;Limit Add-On Manager to always enabled
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ext\CLSID,"{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700}",,1

Both are needed for proper installation of wga.
So the minimal entries required for wga are,

Code: Select all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; -- Entrie To Keep WU/MU Happy
Notice WGA Doesn`t Add an Entrie Here, This Is An Acception Exclusive To WGA AFAIK.

; -- Extra Needed Entries
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ext\CLSID","{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700}",,"1"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700}","Compatibility Flags",0x10001,0

Of course if your not bothered about qfecheck then you can leave those entries out.

If you take a look at my update pack inf you`ll see i only include the needed entries, none of the extra`s which serve no real purpose are in there.. their just for show.

Hope this helps.

Post by **5eraph** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 12:38 am

Those entries do appear to be necessary, I never doubted that. I'm just saying that Ryan's current Update Pack already includes them and that they do not need to be updated to make WGA work. The older checksum, build date, and version information in the registry is not verified when WGA is run or under any other situation that I can see.

I've tested and confirmed this twice so far on my own. Once on a live machine and once in a VM.

Microsoft Update and the Microsoft Downloads site do not say that it needs to be reinstalled.

QFECHECK also does not appear to list WGA. This may be due to the fact that it does not include a CAT file with LegitCheckControl.dll, therefore (in my opinion) it's not a proper hotfix because runtime files should always be protected by SFC.

There are proper hotfixes that don't include CATs, but as far as I've seen those hotfixes only involve the registry and do not include files other than INFs. The Malicious Software Removal Tool does not count in this case because the tool is not used after it is run once.

5eraph,
try to download SyncToy 1.2 for example from the microsoft website and I'm pretty sure it will ask to 'update' WGA, maybe you can test this? I agree with you though that MU and WU don't care, but when I try to download from Microsoft that needs validating as genuine windows, it want's to re-install WGA.

PS. This is from an older version of RyanVM's update pack from about November/December 2005.

Cheers!

5eraph, i know you know

I just layed it out if someone want`s to learn from it, seen as i went through it all when making my update pack all those months ago.

Post by **5eraph** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 1:07 pm

FlyingGleek, the Nov/Dec RVM Update Pack did not include WGA, so it won't work for you without adding registry entries. They are needed, just as Xable says. Only the March and Arpil Update Packs currently contain all of the entries.

Actually, Xable, I wasn't aware of all of the details; so I'm glad you did post them. I've tried to learn by example through yours and Ryan's packs.
