ill try and run more tests.. btw it was all done under a real system.

dougie i forgot to tell you that i have changed the theme files so the cursors dont point to the right place in the gui.(btw i checked the luna.theme and it seems to be intact from the original.) also there is atleast 1 file that dosent get patched in a live patching; shell32.dll as it is probably in use byt he system,the way i see it you ahve 2 choices: 1-kill explorer then patch/copy back 2-do a recopy at runonceexe on next boot. also one last thing,the oem info generation is not getting done correctly, here is a sample from the oeminfo.ini file: [OEM_Support( Information] LineOS: Windows XP SP3 version 5.1 build 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.090121-1326=OS: Windows XP SP3 version 5.1 build 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.090121-1326 Line=Installed Components and Updates (1): LineInstallation (updation) date and time: 03/03/2009 8:58:24 PM=Installation (updation) date and time: 03/03/2009 8:58:24 PM LineInstalled Components and Updates:=Installed Components and Updates: as you can see some lines are merged or are missing "=".

ok i just noticed there is an other backup file, setuporg.exe.. lol (gonna have to learn to pay more attention) i though it was the modifications i made to the batch file. so all in all we have: -setuporg.exe -setup.org >>>cabbed but in my tests i deleted setuporg.exe and everything went A ok. ill go ahead and make an other test with a "if exsist delete" line on setuporg.exe and see if everything goes well.but im surprised that there is 2 backups. (im using beta base 90201) btw i think i know why they put the original setup uncabed with a different name, incase you have to call it manualy for some reason. n e ways i was able to fit every thing and handle prety much any situation under one label: :setup set name=setup set ext=exe set big=SETUP set com=EX_ if not exist "i386\%big%.%com%" set com=exe if not exist "i386\%big%.%com%" goto setup_wm if exist "i386\%big%.ORG" set com=ORG %xp% "i386\%big%.%com%" "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%" >nul if exist "i386\%name%.%ext%" Del "i386\%name%.%ext%" >nul %rh% %ao% "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%", "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%", "%res%\%name%.%ext%.res",,,&echo patching %name%.%ext% %pe% -c %tmp%\%name%.%ext% >nul set com=EX_ if exist "i386\%big%.ORG" set com=ORG %cab% /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%" "i386\%big%.%com%" >nul if exist "i386\%big%.ORG" %cp% /v /y "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%" "i386\%name%org.%ext%" >nul as you can see, i also changed my idea about deleting setuporg.exe.

this should work: :setup set name=setup set ext=exe set big=SETUP set com=EX_ if not exist "i386\%big%.%com%" set com=exe if not exist "i386\%big%.%com%" goto setup_wm if exist "i386\%big%.org" set com=org %xp% "i386\%big%.%com%" "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%" >nul if exist "i386\%name%.%ext%" Del "i386\%name%.%ext%" >nul %rh% %ao% "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%", "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%", "%res%\%name%.%ext%.res",,,&echo patching %name%.%ext% %pe% -c %tmp%\%name%.%ext% >nul set com=EX_ if exist "i386\%big%.org" set com=org %cab% /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 "%tmp%\%name%.%ext%" "i386\%big%.%com%" >nul

nope cant say it has. please note that setup.exe is infact cabbed (setup.ex_) in an original install.

well then,it shall be removed!

isint it related to windows explorer?

nice work guys.

thx for noticing.

use reshacker to edit ure msgina,then for the avi, simply use the keepvid web site to download ure link in higher quality mp4 then convert it to uncompressed avi using tmpgenc or virtual dub then simply add ure avi and you should be good to go. so you can use the "template" made my cro-man in this post: that ccl0 gave you. obviously you will need to play with the video encoders output size so the video fits right in the given dimentions.

and winrar is so much easyer to update the package.

i believe the scanning a printer wizards suffer from the same thing. shouldint be thta hard to fix tho. btw amnesia: nice work on the taskmgr, will be in next rel. also, could i have them in bmp.(i like 1st img of both pics)

thx for the continuous intrest in this project ENU_user.

best wishes and a happy birthday.

LOL wtf guys... anyways , did you try removing user32.dll.res or deleting the cursors from the res and test to see fi it fixes the problem? but im begining to think it may not be related as i re-red ure post and you said right after txtsetup.are you using driverpack.net slipstreamer? and i did make the modifications a while back when you said that you remove setup.exe from ure source.so the batch check if its present or not and depeding on the situation it will copy or not the file to ure source folder.but this realy looks like a driver packs thing( as method 2 repalces setup.exe to launch its 'fake' setup to decompress the drivers then launches the original setup afterwards.)

simple, ull get akward texts that shouldint be there,unused bmps etc.

ah ****, here it does again... try this: del user32.dll.res and try again im almost 100% sure thats the culprit... infact you can leave the res file in and just delete the cursors section of the res file. and to think of it, i am now confident that the del lines i made for logonui.exe.res in the batch file are NECESSARY.

links will be re-made once tests are done sorry for all the inconveniences.till then links will remain.(will prolly be up later 2night)

heha, and i screwed up more and deleted lines that removed the windows xp versioning...

i cleaned up the logonui res a bit, should be a bit smaller,i also made alot of changes in the inf for the cursors,changed the scheme's name to: XPtsp Aero large also renamed all the cursor files and changed the path.(this means all 3 themefile.theme have ben editied to reflect the new changes of the cursors.

there are 2 "welcomes' int he new logon ui i modded,lol so it will be fixed shortly..take it as an SLI welcome.

im happy u figured it out, i do know i said i would try to test and find out exatcly the steps needed to do a clean repalcement but i kinda got side tracked(again). also, it was gettign late last ngith and i made an error in the logonui i fixed,plus im gonna add ure fix to the addon.,i dont plan on updating to 1.4.6, ill just increment to 1.4.5.2

yeah it was uplaoding

amnesia: i dunno should be fixed in 1.4.5.1

there is no bad publicity.
