  1. "This version of StartAllBack is not intended for this Windows version"

    Just had this popup twice in quick succession.  Think I was typing the first time so unintentionally hit Enter on 'OK' which resulted in something horrific I haven't seen in more than a year (the native Win11 start menu!).  I reinstalled 3.7.3 and once it enabled itself, I got the same message again.  I clicked "Enable" and everything seems ok but thought I'd report it.

    Have attached the error and output of winver.

  2. We really could do with an option to deactivate licenses.  I know from past experience that reinstalling Windows and re-activating SiB consumes an additional "activation" each time.  I had to email support a couple of years ago to request my licenses be reset as they'd reached their limit of 15.  I've just requested my license info from the Support tab on the home page and I can see my primary key has only 1 activation left again (and I'm about to do another clean install for Win10 2004).

  3. Thanks Bioruebe for your efforts on this, they are very much appreciated.  I found this page after hitting an Inno Setup exe that was packed with a newer version of Inno that the original UniExtract couldn't handle.  I installed your beta3 and it extracted perfectly.  Thanks again!

  4. I upgraded to 1.1.0 from 1.0.4 earlier today and now I'm finding the default Win 10 Start Menu sometimes appearing when I click Start.  This never happened with 1.0.4.  It's fairly easy to reproduce by clicking Start, clicking 'This PC' and then as quickly as possible clicking Start again.

  5. Search works for me... although PC settings search results have vanished from both SIB and system.

     

    I've just noticed after upgrading to 1.0.3 (think I was on 1.0.1 before) that I'm not getting results from PC Settings now either.  The main one I use is "Windows Update".  If I Ctrl+Win and type "Windows Update", the 'Check for Updates' option does appear but only once the entire string is tpyed.  With SIB, only 'View Installed Updates' is returned no matter how much of the string is typed.  What's going on here and is it fixable?

     

    edit: This seems to have been fixed by another cumulative update for Win10, after installing that and rebooting, search in SIB seems to be working properly again.

  6. OK, I created a new Library called Documents and added the My Docs path to it - checked it in Explorer and working OK. I toggled the Documents link off and on again in SIB+ and there's now a blank entry at the top of my Start Menu which doesn't do anything :o Also, the Documents library is no longer visible in Explorer and if I go into the 'Libraries' one of the library icons is a plain white with no name. If I try to create 'Documents' again, it says it already exists. There's no option on the right-click menu of this broken library to delete it. :blink: Help.

    edit: I don't know how I did it but after trying to create 'Documents' again (and again being told it already exists) and then searching for *.library-ms the first library I recreated appeared again and seems to be working. SIB+ now shows 'Documents' and it opens the library correctly. That was a bit hairy.

  7. I can't get the Documents link to appear in my SIB Start Menu. I had one of the 1.5+ RCs from a few days ago and that had the same problem. I tried setting Documents to [Don't Display] -> [Apply] -> [Link] -> [Apply] but it still doesn't show. All other links seem to work.

    I'm on 8.1 Pro w/MC x64. If it's relevant, I have remapped my Documents folder using the [Location] tab -> [Move] but this never caused any problems on 8.0 with SIB.

  8. I'd like to know if there's a fix for this too. It's so annoying how Vista can't manage a simple task like remembering a folder's view setting. I also prefer the list view, some folders keep it, others don't. And the "Navigation Bar"! Urghh! Go away!! I'm always having to manually disable it, is there any way to permanently disable it? I found a few explorer options in gpedit.msc but these were only to disable the status bar.

  9. but you are going to lose that data... so find a way to back it up first.
    and as a side note to ripkens last post, hopefully you have all that data (movies etc) backed up. on a striped array w/o parity, you loose one drive, say bye to all that data... :hello:

    Not really a side note as Ripken already said exactly that. What's with your avatar and motto anyway? "I stab pedestrians"? That's pretty lame, go see a therapist.

  10. Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice and hope someone here can help. I'm running Vista Ultimate which is installed on a 20GB partition of a 500GB SATA drive. The rest of the drive is consumed by a second partition used to store HD movies. I have just ordered another 500GB SATA drive (same make/model) which I will receive on Friday. I want to merge the the two 500GB drives into dynamic disks to get all my movies on 1 drive. If possible, I'd like to enable RAID-0 and have the O/S benefit from the increase in I/O throughput. There's a few things I'm not sure about:

    1) My BIOS has a utility for setting up RAID-0 but warns that all data will be wiped on both drives. Do I have to use the BIOS utility or can Windows' own Disk Management do this for me? I know that I can convert the disks to dynamic using Disk Management but will this simply span the volumes or enable RAID-0?

    2) If I use the BIOS utility and wipe everything, can I still partition off 20GB on one of the drives for the O/S or does a new RAID-0 array not allow any partitions to be created?

    3) Is there any way I can enable RAID-0 on the two 500GB drives and keep windows installed on the 20GB partition of the original 500GB drive? i.e. no loss of data?

    Thanks for any help.

  11. Hi Martin, this is a really great guide, I would have been completely lost without it. Maybe I need to get used to it but it seems to me that the WAIK is way more complicated than it should be, the principle of mounting an image and adding modules is not that complex but Microsoft have somehow managed to make it feel incredibly complicated.

    Anyway, back on topic, I'm stuck! I'm trying to integrate Windows Updates into my install and I'm up to "Step 5: Importing update packages to WSIM". Where is the distribution folder that I'm meant to select? What is BDD? The guide says I can make any new folder but if I do this, I get "The selected folder is not a valid distribution share". Any tips?

  12. Since this was placed in an 'unattended' forum, i'd have to assume

    the original poster wants an unattended solution.

    I dont have the solution, but am also interested.

    [bump]

    Yes, thank you Shark007, someone with some common sense. It is of course a request for an unattended solution.

    @cluberti - combining the thread topic with the forum it is posted in is your friend....
