Windows XP Addons

[Legolash2o]

I'm thinking of having a go at making W7T work with XP Addons. What do you think?

If you want you can link to some XP addons and i will try and get those ones working with W7T.

You mean, your program will read entries.ini from nLite or RyanVM Integrator? That sounds nice ;-)

Using XP addons would be great - there are quite a few and it would save having to do multiple downloads for many users.

There are addons for XP x64 so I'm guessing they would also be compatible with W7Toolkit and Win7 64-bit?

Can you make it work for x86 and x64 bit os addons?

Locations of XP addons for consideration as addons for W7Toolkit:

nLite: http://www.winaddons.com/nlite-addons

xable: http://xable.net/

RyanVM: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/ - when this page is viewed you'll notice multiple discussions/locations of XP addons and update packs; navigating around the site will also present many compatible with XP x64.

RyanVM and Windows 7: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=29 - includes a [Guide] Assembling & Integrating a Win7 AIO Update Pack and DxIntegrator syntax for Win7 Addon Makers; these instructions are for making addons for the Dx Integrator. When created these addons must have True_Addons in their name for use with the DxIntegrator but are compatible with the RyanVM Integrator for use with XP.

DriverPacks and Windows 7: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewforum.php?id=45 has possible useful information

Hope this can make creating/providing addons a bit easier

WOW. BIG WOW!!! Such a feature would be FANTASTIC! On ryanvm especially there are such addons... but if it's too hard / with a big potential to bug up you app, only non-custom switchless installer will suffice.

Information has been posted for XP Addons but no one in charge has commented on possibilities.

I've done a little experimenting with this and can't get it to work I know it uses DISM but it keeps saying 'System cannot find the specified file'

It looks for update.mum
