For testing i use Vmware and virtualbox

So I decided to just do it myself and have had it for 3 days but dsl went down.

Mine turned out better than the others with minor thing like the corners with a little black, still way better

This should work on Windows 8 but I haven't tested yet

You will have to Mount boot.wim image 2
open Mountdir\sources\spwizimg.dll and replace the 516 and also the 517, 518 for the background.
File is also found on my Win 7 SP1 at
 Mountdir\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-i..dia-branding-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_09a26c968a9af0e5\spwizimg.dll
I use Restorator on 64 bit

And the file. Its pink and I don't know why but works like above here

516.zip

EDIT: ‎June ‎15, ‎2013 I fixed the black corners and this is new

Whilst that is downloading, you may wish to extract the WINNTBBU.DLL from your I386 Directory on your WindowsXP CD, and chuck it in a folder someplace. I recommend making a brand spanking new folder where you can store all your new setup screen goodies, so you have them all in the one spot when you need them.

Download is done? Excellent. Give Resource Tuner the good ol' install treatment, and when you're done, execute the application.

From there, you'd want to select File --> Open and then select your WINNTBBU.DLL file you extracted earlier. Since Resource Tuner is a 30 day trial program, it'll ask you to register blah blah, just smash continue.

Your screen should look like this:

If you expand the bitmap subfolder, you'll see lots of little enteries that start with 100, and go up to 192. Now all of them arent there, so dont be alarmed. It goes from 100 to 109, then skips straight to 150. This is normal. You're not missing any enteries, so take thoes fingernails out of your mouth.

If you have a little browse through the enteries in the bitmap subcategory by clicking on a few, you'll notice that each one holds a different bitmap image. These are what you will be editing, and replacing, in order to make your install screens look spiffy.

You will notice that there are several versions of each bitmap image. One set are for 1024 x 768 (high resolution) and the other set are for 640 x 480 (Low resolution). We will be editing the high resolution images.

Here is a brief explanation of where the bitmap files you will need are located:

100 - Windows Logo in the top left hand corner.

101 - Windows Logo in the top left hand corner.

102 - Windows Logo in the top left hand corner.

103 - The main background image.

104 - Image shown next to the task when it has been completed.

105 - Image shown next to the task which has not been completed.

109 - Image shown next to the task when it is being performed.

181 - 192 - Little animating images in the bottom right hand corner of the setup screen.

Okay. From then on, all you need to do is Right click on the image you wish to edit, and select Save Resource As... and choose a location to save the image.

Once you've extracted an image, its time to edit it. Any graphics editing program will suffice. Change it how you wish. The only limits are, that the backdrop must be 1024 x 768, and all images must be in 256 colours. I find it easier to make the image, then convert it to 256 colours at the end.

So now you have your new image that you want to throw back into the WINNTBBU.DLL. This is how you do it.

Back in your resource tuner, select the key that you extracted the image from, right click --> edit resource. On the next screen, you need to press the Open Resource button, illustrated below.

From there, select your edited bitmap. Next, select Ok. Select Yes from the next dialog box.

Follow thoes last few steps to editing your bitmap files, for all the other bitmaps you wish to change, save your new WINNTBBU.DLL (File --> Save File As...) and bobs your monkey! But don't relax yet ... we're not done.

By this point, you should have all your bitmaps replaced in the WINNTBBU.DLL file.

You're almost done! Open up a command prompt (windows key + R, then type in cmd) and navigate to the directory where you saved your WINNTBBU.DLL. (If you dont know how to navigate directorys through dos, i suggest you find out)

Next, at the command prompt, type in this command.

makecab winntbbu.dll

This will create a file called winntbbu.dl_ in the same directory.

All you need to do now is throw that file you just created (winntbbu.dl_) into your i386 folder on your XP CD, and thats it!

Congratulations, you've just changed your XP Setup Screens! Give yourself a pat on the back and a chocolate eclair. You've earnt it.

Note: You do NOT need to put the new WINNTBBU.DLL file into your i386 directory. Only the winntbbu.dl_

Windows 8 Billboard.rar

I want to know if this is part of a particular ddl, or if I have to change the aero theme to change this.

Remember that this is the last part of the setup. It does not use arunimg.dll or spwizimg.dll

Thanks

APMS 7 not working / something weird going on. When I create a new button and want to add the appropriate action I cant type anything in the Quick Action / Action to Run field where the execuatable must be, also when I browse its very slow to display folder contents. When it eventually does show the contents and I choose winnt32.exe, I click preview, then I click on the button I created (to install XP) and I get errors. APMS changes the path to its own liking so winnt32.exe doesn't work. I can also not select the Working Folder properly, I only get CD Root or Autorun.

Does anyone know of a better utility to create autorun menus?

thats is last to finish my edition :/ thnx for answers!

Thanks in advance.

I've modified the Setup billboards for a Windows XP Pro SP3 project I've been working on. Everything has gone well, but I'm stuck on one step I'd like to get done. I want to change the size and location of the large dialod/text box (The yellow area of the setup billboard) on the right side of the setup billboard at the following address.

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/print/web/70/#preview

Where can I find the setting that determine the size and location of that dialog/text box?

Thanks,

disaksen

I'm not sure if i am too late with this, since not much happening here anymore...

But anyways, i had a little spare time and was tired of the work needed to modify texts in the winntbbu.dll, so i put together a little VB-Application.

I tried to keep it as tight as possible, so if i am not mistaken all you will need to run this are the vb6 runtimes (which, if you dont run winxp anyway, can get from ms directly).

WinntbbuEd.bmp

Note, this is the first release, consider it Beta, there are limitations, much room for improvements, and surely there will be bugs. But i will try to work on this as my free time allows.

Ok, to make it bit more clear heres the list of current limitations:

In its current Version this editor only allows editing of
the following in Winntbbu.dll:

   *Colors
   *Fonts (Large & Small)
   *Headlines & Billboards
   *Step Texts
   *Pictures (HighColor & CDBoot only):
        Backgroundimage
        Step Images
        Top-Left-Logo
        Processinganimation

----------------------------------------------------------

Preview:

  The Preview is currently only available for small
  resolution setups. Only changes made to the appropiate
  Resources will take visual effect. Of Cource all made
  changes get written to the dll.

SysSetup:

  Though for visual completeness Texts from syssetup.dll,
  if present in the same directory as the selected 
  winntbbu.dll, are displayed, they are, at least at the
  moment, not editable.

Pictures:

  There are no validation Checks on the Bitmaps
  that you might use, so have to take care yourself.

  All Pictures are limited to the use of Bitmap Images.

  Every Bitmap has a display in the pictures editor
  with its current size, hold the mouse over that,
  and you will get a tip with the size microsoft has
  intended.

Fonts:

  The font that you use MUST be present and registered
  at the time of setup.

  Since only Fontname and Fontsize are stored in the .dll
  even though the dialog for fonts allows it, you cant use
  styles like bold etc.

Dont Knows:

  There are still some aspects in the resources
  i dont know what they are good for, any additional
  information is welcome.

Comments & Suggestions are very welcome
