  1. Sorry dont know, I googled the guid and found many more people with the error... I am pretty sure they were not using my installer
  2. No plans to update this addon, dropping all XP stuff soon If somebody wants to take this or my other XP addons, feel free
  3. Is this android? If so if you have root access you can always install AdAway (its a host file editor that automatically blocks adds)
  4. Thanks, another friend told me yesterday he would also check and see what he had. Will let me know soon
  5. Ya veremos WeBeRiO
  6. Here is what I am talking about, this is slimmed based on your installer, I rebuilt common.cab and the embedded product.cab's in each MSI installer... Then finally I replaced the ones in the original installer with those I rebuilt Download: http://adf.ly/1713566/vboxrpck MD5: 8cdb56d006f1874fc318d1a09bfe1678 Size: 83.7 MB I hope you don't feel like I am stepping on your toes here, I of course will provide to you how I did this. Maybe you can use this to take your repacking skills a bit further Tools: http://xp.xpdnc.org/files/msi_vbs_examples.zip (Optional)https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56155351/Tools/MsiTran.Exe (Optional)https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56155351/Tools/vbox.7zMakeCab (comes with Windows)InstEdRestorator 2007 MSI Instructions: - Extract VirtualBox installer files <installer>.exe -extract -path .\- Edit the MSI to make slim or apply the MST with InstEd or MsiTran (Note: I also remove vc2k10 runtimes) MsiTran.exe -a <mst_name>.mst <x86_and_or_amd64>.msi- Do an admin install of both MSI's, now copy common.DDF into ANYONE of the admin install location and rebuild common.cab makecab.exe /f common.DDF- Do the same to rebuild product.cab's (use 32 DDF for x86 and 64 for amd64)- Now we will add the product.cab back into the MSI, you can use InstEd but I prefer WiStream.vbs <msi_name>.msi product.cab- With InstEd change the admin install MSI's Sumary Information from Admin External. Long filenames to Compressed. Long filenames, you can also use this VBS command WiSumInf.vbs <msi_name>.msi Words=2EXE Instructions:Now that we have both installers repacked with none of the stuff we removed, we need to add them back into the EXE... You can simply open the original VirtualBox installer EXE in Restorator 2007, copy the files from within Windows Explorer and paste them into the RCData BIN's, but I rather add them to a RES file, then apply the res file with Restorator because the EXE date does not change and you wont get those ugly shortcut icons that Restorator leaves behind - Open provided RES file with Restorator 2007 - In Windows Explorer copy (Ctrl+C) x86 MSI and paste (Ctrl+V) in RCData -> BIN_00 - Do the same for x64 MSI (BIN_01) and common.cab (BIN_02) and save RES - Now open VirtualBox installer with Resource Hacker, now choose Action -> Update all Resources (apply the RES file) - Save and you are DONE!!! Bonus: If you are wondering how to get the DDF, you can open the MSI in InstEd, go to Media, right click on CAB and choose Show ddf, I prefer to use WiMakCab.vbs <msi_name>.msi cabname /LIf I use WiMakCab.vbs I have to edit it a littleEdit: I just realized its easier for you to rebuild/embed the CAB's, just open your MSI in InstEd, go to Media, right click on CAB and choose Rebuild selected CAB Edit2: You can also save space if you remove the linux and os2 stuff from VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (28MB after removal)
  7. Yes extracting is easy, but what I was talking about is him rebuilding the installer after extraction and using the same EXE wrapper vs SFX
  8. Thanks, this helps save me from downloading each of them one by one
  9. Can somebody explain why DDR2 ram is more expensive than DDR3? Been searching for some here where I live and I am surprised by this, for a 2GB stick: $51 DDR2 vs $31 DDR3 http://issuu.com/lasificadosdelcaribe/docs/edici__n_730/3?e=1085923/7271623 Its not just where I live, I checked on ebay and its not cheap... If anybody has some DDR2 sticks of this type kicking about it would be HUGE help for me here
  10. Try changing http:// to https://
  11. PC's break down, need fixin... Its a way for me to make a few (emphasis on few) dollars to buy small parts that I need to keep my system up and functioning. If I made at least $8-9 a month in donations (I make in between $6-11 on a good month with adf.ly,) I would do away with the adcrap, I don't like it as much as you Thanks to adf.ly and donors, I was able to upgrade my router and motherboard, next on the list: ram, mouse, desk... you get the idea
  12. Updated... Sorry, I had to leave the languages out, I cant figure out how to get them installed only as needed properly
  13. Good news! I got my new motherboard and cpu today (she is a beaut) https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A68D8FCA27AE23DF!2700&authkey=!APajV-vaAYNoJq8&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.jpg Unfortunately the memory did not. I dont know if it did not get there in time or they forgot it at home... I am sure it will turn up, there is no rush really
  14. That reminds me... Updated
  15. Can I have an example so I may test?
  16. For that you need to use Adobe Customization Wizard (look in Tools secion of the 1st post,) this will create a MST wit the changes you then later apply to the installer using InstEd
  17. Whatever!

  19. Thank you SO MUCH guys!!! Here is the final tally: Intel DQ45CB motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 and (I think) 2x1 GB of DDR2 Ram To replace: ASRock P4VM890, Intel Pentium 4, 2x1 GB DDR1 Ram The thing I love about the DQ45CB mobo is that is has NO legacy crap: PS2, Serial, Floppy, IDE (current DVD-RW needs adapter, hardly ever use it anyways) and the built in graphics are more than enough. Hopefully they arrive before my step father comes home (he does not know when he is coming but it will be soon. Update: He is comming this Tuesday)
  20. WOW you guys, found an even better one (INTEL DQ45CB) at the same price (difference is it can handle up to 16GB of ram, 6 vs 4 sata ports and can do raid)
  21. Thank you guys Currently stalking ebay for motherboard deals, found a ($32) MSI MS-7507 and a ($40) Intel DG35EC. I think I will use my adf.ly $aved and go with the cheaper MSI, Edit: located a cheaper intel, may go with this one because it supports up to 8GB of ram
  22. Correct, the kb article mentions this Now and then Microsoft will mess up (or there is a compromised cert), they will offer it or the revoked certs to Widows 7 users via windows update
  23. Edit: Got a new motherboard and cpu, need help finding some compatible DDR2 Ram for it https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A68D8FCA27AE23DF!2700&authkey=!APajV-vaAYNoJq8&v=3&ithint=photo%2C.jpg
