    [Solved] Wintoolkit installer - Runs too early

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted

    I am using the same .NET from Rick and it definitely does not install properly at all no matter where I put it in the order... yet it installs fine in the old WinToolKIt

    I get the same message as compstuff, during install of FW 4.5.1 (Ricktendo, slim intl), but only sometimes and, I think, only if I'm working with the mouse (selecting SFX-Installers).

    Yes that seems to be exactly what's happening and I can't exactly understand a clear pattern since some items install but not completely and don't work. It even SEEMS possible that if the timing was correct the RDP issue may not be a factor with the new installer... and don't ask me to expalin how or why but the new installer seems to have solved this problem as well: http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/11541-can-anyone-help-me-with-this/?p=101650 I had given up on it

    So you're saying it's running the next installer before the previous has finished? If so, that's easy to fix :)

    [Solved] Wintoolkit installer - Runs too early

    Well so far not so good... I did a new KUC integration with no RDP 8.0/8.1 and then used WinTollKit 1.4.34.2 for the SFX again... the same thing happened where installers ran at the same time and some didn't install while others didn't install properly/completely.

     

    The image below shows MSFixIt 50470 running which is actually the first item even before the 50531 which you can see at the top. It was running while MSXML4 installed

    The other image shows VBCFL installer running while the MS CodecPack ran and the .Net installer ran while all of the other installers were running.

     

    I am testing a WinToolkit141-27 run now also without RDP to determine if this is a problem with 1.4.34.2

    EDIT:
     
    I have just finished the test with WinToolkit141-27 and it ran perfectly and all my SFX items installed... I will create a bug report later... I can barely keep my eyes open now... need some sleep

    I'm doing a preliminary update on this because I am still running tests but I am running into the same problem with some new twists. I did an integration with the latest KUC and then ran the WinToolkit_1.4.34.2 to do my typical SFX part... basically the same as I was doing back in Nov... just newer tools and newer updates. I took a chance and integrated RDP 8.0 and 8.1 and sure enough the SFX went nuts BUT it didn't start early... just ran installers on top of each other and some didn't really run at all. I re-ordered some of the installers to see if it made any difference and the same crazy timing happened. I then decided to use WinToolkit141-27 and integrate them with that to see what happened.. sure enough the installer started too early just like the 1st pic above and failed on the DotNet install. Interesting to note is that their is no KB2847932 and I am using KB2574819-v2

    ... I ... will try to ... update my techniques with the newer tools.

    With the changes in Win Toolkit, I'm looking forward to your updated tutorial of how to use the new download methods, along with KUC, to get a fully updated source, in the easiest and most automated way possible.

    Cheers and Regards

     

    Well I started my testing yesterday and ran into soo many issues and problems... it's like relearning this all over again  :doh: it will take me a bit to rethink things but I will get on it today and hopefully see some progress.

    I can release a build every night for the next 3 days if people want that?

     

     

    About McRip button, I was going to make it prompt and ask the user if they would like to go to the WHD's site for updates.

     

    If it is a working build (with problems fixed), I do not have a problem with that.

     

    As for the "McRip button", I am not sure what 'WHD' stands for, but if it is another way to get updates for Windows then that would probably be best.

    Too bad... I would gladly pay a subscription but frankly I doubt donations would ever work longterm

    Nope their servers are closed.

     

    No-one supported them and they kept getting hot linked so they stopped.

     

    There is NO dedicated server anymore.

    No slap  :) that's a very valid question and I think these are often overlooked. They are various MS fixes for specific items and released in .msi format. I can't actually pinpoint how I found them because it was over a period of time that I found them all but I did make a recent post about them and thanks to PointZero I learned that Komm actually maintains a repo of them.

    ...and yes that's the method I am looking at now SAD3

     

    @Ricktendo

    That's a neat idea I never thought of that

     

    OK, dumb question. (I'm sure I'll do a face palm when you tell me. :) )  What exactly are the Microsoft FixIt files, and where do you get them / how do you create them?

     

    For the drivers, assuming you need to deal with more than one computer, with possible different hardware involved, I would suggest using the DriverPack SAD2 script.

    I wanted to provide a bit more of an update on this so here goes:

     

    I have completely modified my method of doing integration's and with everyone's help the method now works GREAT. Its even much quicker to do AND provides a finished product that is quicker to install... HOMERUN!!! I also expect that it will be easier to maintain which means a tremendous amount to me because frankly this had gotten so overwhelming that I was spending more time prepping and maintaining than I was producing a finished product.

     

    Basically I use KUC to integrate updates OFFLINE and then I use WinToolkit to integrate my SFX items, ONLINE only updates, reg settings, tweaks, scripts etc.

     

    The OFFLINE KUC takes 30 min for 297 Normal updates and 30 min for 186 LDR updates, I do need to run a 2nd additional update pass for KB2736782 but that takes 1 minute so it's negligible. I then have an image that's ready for my next items.

     

    My WinToolKIt step adds the following:

    I run a few RunOnce scripts to perform the following: (with the exception of the office install these are very quick items that take only a few minutes)

     

    Remove_OLD-IE 3rd reboot Phase 2
    RunOnce_WU_KB2533552 4th reboot Phase 3
    RunOnce_WU_Update 5th reboot Phase 4
    RunOnce_RemoveOld 6th reboot Phase 5
    office_install 7th reboot Phase 6
     
    I did try to test the finish script shutdown command one more time using the various methods discussed here and nothing worked except the poweroff.exe method so I am sticking with that.
     
    I will now work on the next area which is adding drivers to this working image. I am not sure yet what method I will use so I am open to suggestions, especially since the ones I have received so far have made a world of improvement for me. My THANKS to ALL!!!!
