hi and thanks for quickness
this is my main structure (disregard other folders)
the reg, dll and called cmd are in SFC folders (pic up)
the SFC.cmd, that contain those commands is called like this
RUNONCE
|-------------> XP-new\BATCH.CMD
|----------------> \$OEM$\SFC\SFC.cmdso regarding commands
they are called from same folder where .cmd is executed, so they should have worked
but im gonna try regarding COPY command, copy %source%\$OEM$\SFC\sfc_os.dll %systemroot%\system32\sfc_os.dll /y
but regarding regedit /s, this should have worked and it didnt

well i tried for me the easiest way, and that was from $OEM$ folder to execute .cmd file that would
1. apply regedit /s to enable it in registry - FAILS
2. rename patched file to .old extension - PASSES
3. copy the untouched .dll - FAILS
-
4. execute shutdown -r to "update" changes
so i get this nice screenie
have in mind i prefer easier way to do things than to meddle with additional things like WPI
(no offence to nobody)
location of dll is in: \$OEM$\SFC\sfc_os.dll
location of reg key is in same folder
the CMD file that is being invoked via runonce has this in it:
(and is in same location as dll and reg key)
regedit /s enableSFC.reg
ren %systemroot%\system32\sfc_os.dll sfc_os.dll.old
copy sfc_os.dll %systemroot%\system32\sfc_os.dll /y
exitmaybe i am missing something here... ?

yeah i also search a bit on net on this issue
im just curious when if i wish to restore original .dll files and .reg automatic way
(so just to speed up installation and then auto restore it)
do i put them in $OEM$ folder so they are copied on first Window GUI boot
and .reg to be executed THEN
or it must be later later
?

so obviously the template for classic theme is built in Windows core
the .theme file only contains measures
so my question is:
where to find the true skin template (which files if any) ?

heh, i was searcing more like automated way-switch
so users who would use my "fast install" would not need to hassle
or need knowledge of all that

funny
you can disable it with nlite with single click
but to enable it, it requires special permitions on kernel level
0 -
ah that is what i was confused
i thought it was part only for installation but now i understand it is also in OS itself
can someone tell how to enable it later ?
i only like to disable it for fast install, no other reason
0 -
regarding this
if disabled it realy does cuts down installation to speed of ~20 min
but there it says it "turns off during and after installation"
so is this recommended to be turned off, and does it have negative impact on OS if its turned off ?

0 -

thank you for your previous responses
btw i encountered few problems with new "iso"
my reg tweaks did not get applied at all
i used as in this tutorial from cmdlines.txt
the REGEDIT32.EXE /S way
i first tested with their default keys (some are HCU some are HKLM), and thought as you said it will be applied to DEFAULT user, it didnt
then i renamed in reg files all keys to [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\...
but it also didnt get written in/applied (tested on both SP2 and SP3)
any idea why ?

also if i may ask, is there a way to silently install visual c++ 2008 redistributable ?
it looks like hotfix file but it extracts MSI GUI installer
0 -
ah nice
i got 2 more questions
1. regarding commands for executing or copying from $OEM$ folder (listed up up), is it %Source%$OEM$ or
%Source%\$OEM$ ?
2. same regarding copying or executing from $OEM$ folder, i read in tutorials here that microsoft has this limitation of 8 characters so all hotfixes or whatever has to be max long 8 chars, does this also apply for any folder in $OEM$ folder ?
for example i wish to copy Opera, Firefox and Iron portables to Disk with runonce via bat file, but dont know can i have long folder names as Opera_Portable, or it must be 8 chars long only ?
0 -
sorry for being annoying :/
but by
it's better to execute all actual commands from your batch filecan i use regedit /s or must be reg add (in t13 stage)
again thanks for info and patience ^^

3. regarding registry tweaks, if i execute registry tweak during setup, but tweak that is only for HKCU, will it work at all ?
if i understand HKCU is only for current account logged in ?
That is partly correct. HKCU only applies to the current user, BUT, when you import them during setup with the batch (at t13 or svcpack stage), the SYSTEM account is running. All tweaks are applied to [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT], so every new user that logs on, will get these settings as well. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT] is the "template" for HKCU.
so if i use the method with runonce from nlite that user "Sp0iLedBrAt" described with $oem$ folder
is that the phaze t13 ?
or simpler... will that method add the reg tweak to as you say [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT] ?
thanks you again

thank you for nice answers
i got few more questions lol (sorry if i put it on same topic, but rather that than spam new threads)
1. as \$OEM$\$$\ represents \Windows\ folder, if i want to after OS install have custom folder in Windows folder
(like \Windows\My new folder\) do i then just create empty folder via rclick in $OEM$\$$\ or i must
do it via batch with MKDIR ?
2. this is regarding hotfixes, since after XP SP3, XP got huge number of hotfixes, some are for same thing
but later trough months i guess updated (like the SMB hotfixes, there are like 3 or 4 of them)
so should i only integrate latest one, or all of them (older and newer) and will only newest be applied or the every newer hotfix is made only as patch to last one and not as total patch to all prevoius bug ?
(hope you understand) :S
3. regarding registry tweaks, if i execute registry tweak during setup, but tweak that is only for HKCU, will it work at all ?
if i understand HKCU is only for current account logged in ?

windows file protection
in nLite
Posted · Edited by vinifera
sucsess
you were indeed right, the path messed it up
the only annoyance now i experienced, is when upon first OS GUI boot
when those commands for registry (to enable sfc), rename patched and copy original unpatched to sys32 are done
i get that dialog of SFC reporting something was changed and calls upon SP3 cd to restore "original file"
could be because maybe i added reg enable before rename/copy...
ill try to reverse order and report back
