    Internet Explorer 7 + all Cumulative Updates?

    in Application Add-Ons

    Posted

    Why not use just one of the pre-made IE7 + cumulative updates packages? The authors of those add-ons update them with every new patch cycle and are very dedicated ;) !!

    Check 'em out:

    http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1737 --> OnePiece's Internet Explorer 7 True Addon w/updates

    http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1104 --> Internet Explorer 7 English w/Updates (v2.0.2)

    I personally use Onepiece's (I don't think there was anything of a major difference, it was just that MrNxDmX's add-on didn't work well with the tweaks I did).

    NOTE::

    These add-ons haven't been updated for the October Patches. Hey, people are busy, so just sit back and give 'em some time ;) .

    Windows-7 beta release date

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    I believe this is official ...

    Microsoft Project codename "Windows 7" ... Will be called ... Windows 7 !!

    Different, yes. Perhaps a new tone from Vista and XP, and been a while since the 3.1x and NT numbering days.

    Let's make this "7" a lucky number now, shall we?

    [Release] WinPatrol v15.9.2008.5

    in Application Add-Ons

    Posted

    New version::

    v15.9.2008.5

    Get it here ;) : http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

    WinPatrol Explorer Integration Option

    By popular demand, I’ve released an update to the latest version of WinPatrol. In the last new version I added the ability to request PLUS Info directly from Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, I neglected to make this an optional feature. As always I like to make everyone happy so I found room for a new option.

    New Explorer Integration Options

    If you’d like this option you can download the newest WinPatrol 15.9.2008.5 at http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html. Thanks again to everyone for their feedback and support.

    News Update: xpize 5 One Month Away

    in XPize

    Posted · Edited by Happy-Dude

    NOTE::

    No-one needs to be "added" to anything on Codeplex. That creating a codeplex account just means you're able to post bug reports on the Issue Tracker.

    Just saving you guys time in the future.

    W3bbo will probably overhaul the content on the xpize website to state this, as well as to adding a direct link to the forums.

    EDIT::

    From the xpize site.

    Whilst the work on xpize 5 has continued in earnest, we've hit a few unexpected snags so the Beta release will be pushed back until late October at the earliest.

    Progress so far:

    * The resources have now been organised and collated into their appropriate sets. HappyDude will be converting them into Anolis Packages.

    * The Anolis software library can now work with Bitmap and Icon resources but it's still rough around the edges.

    * We've got a nice bunch of beta testers at the ready. If you're willing to risk your computer why not sign up?

    * A friend of mine, Long Zheng, has agreed to run a story or two about xpize and Vize as soon as we hit release. Hurrah for friends in high places.

    * We've got the latest batch of patched UxTheme.dlls from the original patcher Rafeal at WithinWindows so SP3 compatibility is assured.

    In other words, W3bbo has been working on anolis, but he has been busy also. We're thinking to have a *more presentable* version by December (hopefully, earlier). Give him some time, as he is the only programmer working on the project. So far, it seems to be going smoothly ;) !!

    nlite has become unstable [solved]

    in nLite

    Posted

    I believe this was a reported problem at RyanVM forums. Check out if people are having similar issues as you.

    If you got spare time, contact nuhi about the problem and ask if he could release a maintenance version/ investigate further.

    LogonUI & Boot Screen

    in LogonUI & Boot Screens

    Posted

    Hopefully, you have someone make an add-on for you or you have the file. I know what to do for logon, but not bootscreen (sorry bub).

    From what I know, nLite usually takes add-ons. Otherwise, I would just do it myself.

    **Let's say I wanted a logon screen from http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=927 or http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4237 **

    I'll use Darkside. Download and extracted to the disks I386 directory. That's it :)

    Make sure they're nLite compatible. Some aren't, some are. nLite should give you a warning if it isn't recognized. If it isn't, see if you can do it manually.

    Should someone update the MSFN Unattended Windows guide?

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Heya guys !!

    Just wondering, is the information to MSFN's Unattended Windows guides up-to-date ( http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/1/ )? I mean, the Latest Site Updates were made on 2006 (but xper has last edited stuff since the April of 2008).

    Might the guide be updated to accommodate to XP SP3, latest versions of DriverPacks and nLite and RVMi (and Booogy's slipstreamer), have a section on Office 07 slipstreaming (in addition to the new Office slipstreamer utility), and perhaps edit on some space-saver things (many threads appear now and then on obsolete and useless things things; I've found quite a few on the nLite forum alone)?

    Just wondering if the information/ content is current, that's all. It's still a great guide, nonetheless ;) !!

    NOTE::

    I also clicked on the W3C markup validation, and CSS turned out fine. Apparently, for XHTML, there are 17 errors. Should this be corrected as well?

    Folders & Files to delete after nLited XP installation is done.

    in nLite

    Posted · Edited by Happy-Dude

    EDIT--

    Ahh, I see. This is only for those who REALLY wish to strip their disks. Can you provide some more details and which removals are suited for the general users? Also, would removing any of these files cause an installation error?

    I know that write.exe is an actual app (and I don't wish to remove that), but I found that routemon.exe was just funny ;) .

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

    Would information from the following be relevant to this?

    http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows-XP-SP3-s...up-t118781.html

    and

    http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/57/

    Helllo all,

    This is slightly off topic but since there has been so much discussion about this I thought it good to summarize; explanation is between ().

    This is what I do for a regular Windows XP SP3 Professional integration starting from an RTM source (in folder WinXP_SP3):

    -After copying the root contents of a WinXP CD into WinXP_SP3, remove the Read-only attributes from all files in that folder.

    -Download "Windows XP Service Pack 3", extract (in folder SP3) and slipstream by executing: SP3/i386/update/update.exe /Integrate:WinXP_SP3.

    -In the slipstreamed folder:

    --Delete cmpnents\TABLETPC, and move *.htm moved into DOCS. (I did not look into tablet installations).

    --Delete i386\GUITRN_A.DL_, MIGISM_A.DL_, MIGWIZ_A.EX_, MMC.CH_, MSRDP.CA_,MSTSC.CH_, MSTSC.EX_, MSTSCAX.DL_, RDSKTPW.CH_, SCRIPT_A.DL_,SYSMOD_A.DL_, TSCUPGRD.EX_, XPTHT41W.HT_ (the old RDP client).

    ---remove the msrdp.cab line in DOSNET.inf (to avoid an error message during install).

    --Delete i386\USETUP.exe; copy i386\System32\SMSS.exe one level up, and rename it to USETUP.exe (to have an up to date GUI steup for all types of install: CD, WinNT, WinNT32).

    -Download "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Deployment Tools" to update WinXP_SP3\SUPPORT\TOOLS\Deploy.cab (used to make SP3 unattended and sysprep installations).

    -Download "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools", and extract them in WinXP_SP3\SUPPORT\TOOLS, updating all other tools (less and less usefull utilities but for the sake of completeness...).

    The steps of removing read-onlly and slip-streaming can be carried out with nLite :thumbup .

    In case you do not have an RTM CD, you may encounter interesting combinations, discussed here.

    -You can delete the WIN51IP.SP1 and/or WIN51IP.SP2 files in the root.

    Google is your friend for the downloads. I am not sure what can be/has been incorporated in the nLite slipstreaming.

    Comments welcome as always; I will update the above as needed.

    Space Saving Tips

    Submitted by Alanoll

    Fancy freeing up approximately 185 MB of space by deleting un-needed folders?

    Folders considered safe to delete in your Windows Setup Source are:

    DOCS, VALUEADD, and SUPPORT. This will free up 22.3 MB or so.

    Let's go in further by navigating to the I386 directory with your Windows Setup Source. If you don't plan to use this CD to upgrade from a previous OS, you can delete the following folders:

    WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG. This will free up 37.6 MB

    If you have a localized language version of Windows in your own language, then you probably can also delete:

    LANG. This will free up approximately 99 MB (This may vary)

    As of Windows XP SP2, an extra folder known as cmpnents is added, with Tablet PC and .NET Framework 1.0 components which is also considered safe to delete (This folder may also contain Media Center components, which I'm unsure of as I don't personally use MCE).

    cmpnents. This will free up 25.2 MB

    If you are installing applications from the $OEM$ distribution folders, then you can run a search on your $OEM$ folders for any instmsia.exe and instmsiw.exe files. Delete any you find as you won't need them for Windows XP or 2003, because it already has an up-to-date version of Windows Installer 2.0.

    » nLite - Further Reduction by Removing Additional Files

    cliconfg.exe, cliconfg.dll - SQL Server Client Network Utility; I never even knew this existed

    iexpress.exe - very obsolete Microsoft sfx-archive maker tool

    moricons.dll - a dll containing icons in existence since Windows 3.1

    powercfg.exe - command-line tool for modifying power management settings; the control panel is enough for most users

    ssmypics.scr - My Images Screensaver
