http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS05-037.mspx A new security update for Internet Explorer. Fix is not more or less than a registry tweak so no extra files required

Gape, who created these new bootlogo's? I want to contact the author to retrieve original PSD files to translate the "...Shutting down" message I'll update SP 2.0.2 NL to 2.0.3 NL shortly. I'm including the JVIEW profiler fix as well

OK, please don't download these files anymore. The script above contains some unuseful strings. I have asked the TS to remove it, but did not respond to my request. Here's the correct driver.au3 script: $CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") For $I=1 to Number($CD[0]) $pa = $CD[$I] & "\win51ip.SP2" If FileExists($pa) Then $instDrv=$CD[$I] Endif Next ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 0) Run($instDrv & "\$oem$\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") ProcessWait("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") RunWait($instDrv & "\$oem$\SetupCopyOEMInf.exe " & $instDrv & "\$oem$\Drivers") ProcessClose("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 2) FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\driver.au3") The following files go into $oem$\$$\System32: autoit3.exe driver.au3 These files go into $oem$: SetupCopyOEMInf.exe WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe Users who only use WHQL drivers can use the following code: $CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") For $I=1 to Number($CD[0]) $pa = $CD[$I] & "\win51ip.SP2" If FileExists($pa) Then $instDrv=$CD[$I] Endif Next ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 0) RunWait($instDrv & "\$oem$\SetupCopyOEMInf.exe " & $instDrv & "\$oem$\Drivers") ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 2) FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\driver.au3")

Suit yourself. Replace $CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") by $CD = DriveGetDrive("FIXED") to look for win51ip.SP2 on local hdd

You are correct. However pnp-devices are detected during Windows Setup after detachedprogram stage so during Windows Setup all drivers are detected and get installed. If drivers are included for hardware not available during Windows Setup, only the inf's are copied to the Windows INF directory.

Please note this does not work for any MassStorage Device. Only plug'n play hardware is detected and installed during Windows Setup. You can add drivers for any hardware on cd. Whenever you change hardware, Windows will recognize your new hardware and will ask for your cd. This is my favourite driver installation method.

This might just work for custom monitor drivers for example. Using the SetupCopyOEMINf utility the setup inf's are passed to the Windows\Inf directory in alphabetical order. So I install my custom Acer monitor driver so: Thanks to the A it comes first, so Windows will copy the inf to oem0.inf Now I could use [OemInfFiles] OemDriverFlags=1 OemInfName="oem0.inf" To force installation of the monitor inf Let's find out.

Why don't you want to have all your drivers get recongnized by Windows? It's wonderful and only the setup information is passed to the Windows. No files are copied over in some way. ' The way I use the AutoIt script all drivers stay on CD. Theoraticly I could add a lot more drivers for hardware that doesn't even exist on my system. Then when I change my Hardware Configuration Windows will detect new hardware and ask for my driver cd. You also could use a network path, it's the same principe I still think this should be the methode for most of Basrat's driver packs B)

Dutch SP 2.0.2 is now out! Fixes the Connection problem and gives better uninstallation support for Tihiy's patch and the Mass Storage Driver. These can be uninstalled manually through the Software Add/Remove panel Have fun

nuhi had written some time ago a great working reg2inf convertor. Maybe you should ask him

Windows XP SP2 contains already newer Iexpress by default.

Is it possible to include the 256-color fix for the Sleek Windows98 explorer.exe shell? That would be great. You can do the same hex-stuff as for Windows 98

You can use 98Lite to enhance your Windows Setup dir. When 98Lite starts the regular Windows 98 SETUP after it has made modifications it's possible to reset the pc and back-up the 98Lite Setup folder. Without interupting the SETUP 98Lite will remove it's custom setup files. This can be your starting point for a base setup system which install's the Windows 95 Shell for example by default

OE != IE Place the file in the Windows\System32 dir. Perhaps it works

I was browsing today and found the following interesting tool: http://www.sonicspot.com/alternatecdfsvxd/...atecdfsvxd.html Sounds pretty cool

Just few comments - as I already mentioned, the correct copyright and license should be included for all programs. I think attrib.exe can be removed now, but find has the following license and copyright: FreeDOS Find, version 2.9 GNU GPL - copyright 1994-2002 Jim Hall <jhall@freedos.org> copyright 2003 Eric Auer <eric@coli.uni-sb.de> GNU GPL software has strict requirements regarding adding the license and distributing the source code. You also propose to add FDISK and FORMAT from FreeDOS, it is the same with them. And I already wrote that it may not be the best idea to owerwrite original Microsoft tools - they have cosmetical bugs, but are rather complex. Petr <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it's necessary to include the GPL 2 license for the find.com file. You need to show it to the user when installing the 98SE SP

The mass-storage drivers are from 1.6. Some people just love them. Do you have some reference for more information or have you created your own? My website is fixed now. I wiped some text creating a new page, forgot your reference BTW, chinese version seems not accurate. No official package to download, no full changelog etc.

See my website for more information: http://wepsite.net/hp38guser/ [*]Main Update [All Updates and Hotfixes] [*]Adaptec ASPI Update [4.60.1021] [*]USB 1.x Mass Storage Device Support [*]Tihiy's KB891711 Security Patch [*]Tweak UI [1.33] [*]Command Prompt Here [*]Windows 2000 Color Scheme [*]New Animated Boot Logo [*]Performance Tweaks [Requires at least 64 MB RAM] [*]NTFS Read Support [Paragon NTFS Demo]

Try to open an Office 2000 word document in Wordpad with some images in it. Windows 98 wordpad will crash on it

Seems that Windows Update no longer looks on the KB891711 registry entries but for the existance of the KB891711.exe and Q891711.dll file inside the System\KB891711 directory. BTW, patch seems to work fine here, even if you got accidentely the KB891711.exe patch installed. The patch is included in Dutch SP now

To set the priority of the Windows Setup to "idle" I make sure SetupCopyOemInf.exe does it work before the Hardware Installation Process begins. Because DeatchedPrograms is run parallel to the Windows Setup it makes no sense to use a start /wait command. I have AutoIt3.exe and presetup.au3 placed in $OEM$\$$\System32. You can compile presetup.au3 to presetup.exe, however if you use a lot of scripts, it saves some of space on your cd, example: 20 scripts x 100 KB is 2 MB.

Schalit's method works just fine. Compression is done using the Driver Compressor Tool (Same result in filesize as regular .CAB), and his method does work during detachedprogram period. No need to hack the setup.exe file. This is the best method I've seen so far I've posted an autoIt script in Schalti's thread about it: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43795&st=50#

I used three tools: 1. helpdeco.exe to decompile the Tweak UI help file. 2. OpenOffice.org as my favourite Textwriter. 3. Microsoft Help Workshop to compile the help file.

Link is up again, finally the complete Dutch Tweak UI with Dutch help file. See if it works properly, if it contains no spelling mistakes or whatever not working. Take a deep look at the helpfile. 130 pages of translated material
