Thanks to all for the thankings I just finished doing most boring job you can ever imagin, I think 1.3 will be there as a newyears present
Doing a big test with all available installers inputed at once right now. If all goes well I just need to pollish some things up a little bit and then a release is likely for tomorrow or thursday The features for selecting the setup languages are left out. These will come in 1.4 because I need to clean up the code first, but I thought it was getting time to finally make a version with support for all products available.
Hi, earlier today I download your 1.2 version and it work perfectly, when I try to convert the Office 2010 Pro Plus 64 bit retail version (X16-32213.exe) later (today) I found out you just released the 1.3 version. so I try the 1.3 version to the same Pro Plus 64 bit retail version and this time it did not work. The error message say : "could not successfully make changes to the x64 Office Professional Pro Plus Files, the working directory will be removed after you clicked OK " I am using Windows 7 64 Bit Operating System. Thanks
You can use the one that 1.2 created. But 1.3 should work also, you can try increasing the value of the Harddisk IO delay
Hi Stannieman, Thanks for your very fast response. I just increase the Harddisk IO delay to 100, and it still do not work. actually the time it took for the error message to show up is faster when I use the IO delay to 100 compare to when it was still at the 50 (default setting). Do you have any suggestion on what value of the IO delay is the best ? I am sure the 1.2 will work fine, but I always want to try the latest version Thanks
Ok try again with any delay (default is 50ms btw). When the messagebox shows up don't click ok and give me a list of files in workingdirectory\0\Proplusr.WW
This time I use the delay of 80ms and still not working. This is the list of files inside the ChannelSwitcherWorkingDirectory\0\Proplusr.WW directory : config.xml Office32WW.msi Office32WW.xml ose.exe osetup.dll OWOW32WW.cab PidGenX.dll pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms ProPlusrWW.msi ProPlusrWW.xml ProPrWW.cab ProPrWW2.cab setup.xml
Are the files Office_Pro_Plus_x64_Volume_ProPsWW_cab Office_Pro_Plus_x64_Volume_ProPsWW2_cab Office_Pro_Plus_x64_Volume_setup_xml Office_Pro_Plus_x64_Volume_ProPlusWW_msi in the workingdirectory at that time? Apperantly it goes wrong right from the beginning where it starts to make changes, so it could be 7zip is failing somehow
Hi, none of the files you listed above are in the workingdirectory. I unzip your O2K10ICS13.zip using WinRar-x64-40b3.exe application. Do you suggest I should used different application to unzip your files ? what kind of application do you thing is best to unzip your files ? Thanks
The hash of the exe should match the ones in the frist post. But it might be that 7zip 9.20 has issues with x64 windows... What happens if you convert the volume iso from version 1.2 back to retail with 1.3? CDIMAGE.EXE and 7Z.DLL are in the workingdirectory, right?
Your Ver 1.2 was using Rar not zip, and it works fine on the x64 windows. if you have spare time and can upload your Ver 1.3 in Rar type, I would be happy to test it for you.
I think you're mixing things together. The exe is compressed in standard zip now (and previously rar), but that doesn't matter. The exe that you extract is always the original exe. The hash should match the one in the first post, regardless of the compression type. The 7zip I'm talking about however is used for a file inside the exe. For each product there are 3 to 4 files, together they are 560MB. I compressed them with 7zip down to 17.4MB, this 7zip file and 7z.exe (needed for decompression) are packed inside the exe, and you can't see them. When you click start channel switching, it first extracts 7z.exe and files.7z to the workingdir. Then it runs 7z.exe to extract cdimage and 7z.dll from files.7z, I think it runs fine untill here? Can you check if 7z.exe, files.7z, 7z.dll and cdimage.exe are all in the workingdir please? Then it extracts the office installer, checks what it is, architecture, channel, language of readme file etc. Then it converts the products, in your case it extracts the files from my previous post. The first thing it does after that is reading Office_Pro_Plus_x64_Volume_ProPsWW_cab into a byte array. I think that's where it's going wrong, because that file doesn't exist. So it basically seems that 7zip 9.20 doesn't extract the files from files.7z on your x64 windows, but it does work with my x86 windows. Can someone else with x64 windows try this? If it turns out that x86 7zip is incompatible with x64 os then I'll release 1.3.1 with the older version of 7zip which did work.
I have win7 x64 I tested it ,1.2 working good ,but 1.3 can't covert any version i tried too much after extracting giving error can't covert. while extracting i replaced the 7zip.exe in the working dir with my 7zip.exe ver 9.2 277kb but x64 it converted it but gave me the error it can't make the iso(could not successfully make the iso image) but it make the changes and version in the output directory is valid vl version
Ok so I'm going to make 1.3.1 then with older 7zip then. I could include both x64 and x86 versions but that's too much hassle, using the older one is better in this case. And I'll have look at the iso problem. I'm actually surprised that that part is giving problems, cause no changes were made to the subroutine that contains the code to make the iso, and I used the same cdimage exe.
1.3.1 with x64 fix is available. Afterall it wasn't the new 9.20 that caused the problem. 7z.exe can extract a 7zip archive on it's one on a x86 os, but on a x64 os it needs the dll also. I thought that the dll was only usd for isos, so I extracted it with 7z.exe. But on a x64 system it already needs that dll for the archive itself so that didn't work. Now the dll is again outside the archive like it was with 1.2 so it works again. Also Microsoft and 7-zip are added to the thanks list
