You're right here; your product is more flexible and suitable for almost anyone. But MDCU specializes on wise install order which advice full installation (98lite seems also not supported), so "preserving" (sp2.cab) and file-existance check is not need. As for MS article, i studied it when was creating inf scenario for RP. I noticed almost all flags not working properly with setupx installer (i don't know is it true), so i'm using setupapi (NT-like) installer, which is faster and correctly uses all flags.

Gape, you're wrong in some criterias: Not exactly true. It uses same Windows install mechanism and does not contains any IE/MDAC/WSH/MSI/VCRT updates, so all updates can be installed well. Adopted from ME. Sometimes even better than ME support. - Preserve mechanism (new files from sp2.cab) + Really solves 512+MB of RAM problem SE SP doesn't contain some features of MDCU: - DOS driveletter fix - QFECHECK entries - Install order. It's tested many times and different from SE SP.

"as legal as possible" hm... Shell Update contains files which aren't available separately, only from ME. So you need valid Win ME.

You cannot use /custom parameter under Windows. I remember you can use /a parameter for scandskw to perfom automatic scan. Set parameters for checking in scandisk.

azagahl, wrong topic I'm aware of that problem, it'll be fixed in next version, i've already told.

Yes, clicking on a lot of "No" buttons is annoying.

*insulting* Good Idea, although if you haven't tried, don't post just to post. Hm... Why am I posting now?

Cute. Please don't doublepost. Then KernelXP will be able to do something serious, i'll tell. Currently project is paused.

You're right. But i've found a lot of bugs in Revolutions Pack 2.9. My hotfix is based on Revolutions Pack 2.5, which does not contains those bugs, but it can contain others. Look if any dummy 0-byte files are located in the root of the drive. (i haven't found any) And remember that semi-slipstream method can fail (windows will load without icons ) without TI...dll.

Have you tested new MS hotfix? Have you tested my hotfix?

Hi, superscotty19 If something about RP confuzes you, ask me. The newer versions of RP (since 2.1) are separated into few parts, - Basic (32-bit icon support) - Shell Update (yes, it actually uses some Windows ME files) - Toolbar Patch (32-bit icons for toolbars) so you don't need to extract anything.

Simple. I've just read technical CAN buletin mentioned in article. It says integer overflow occurs in LoadImage() function when dwResSize value (4-bit) exceeds maximal word (2-bit) value. If dwResSize will be ~FFFFFFFF (-1) then malicious code can be executed. So, hacked version of user32.dll has patched import table which LoadImage() points to loader written in "unused" space. It loads Ti......DLL and gives it control. Check function in Ti......DLL opens icon file and checks if dwResSize>maximal word value. If it is, function fails (so virus won't be executed). If it does not, it transfers control to User32.dll original LoadImage() pointer hardcoded. [if i had Windows sources i believe it's just 1 line of code to add But, because Win9x developer team is killed, ( ) stupid NT developers trying to write a 16-bit memory hook which do the same, but: - It will consume 16-bit handles, bad - It won't protect machine until loaded - When unloaded, will crush everything] So... if ^^ that was you wanted ? As I as said before, this update isn't critical. AND MY UPDATE SHOULD BE TESTED WELL IF WILL BE INCLUDED SOMEWHERE.

Yeah, looks like they released new version. But seems it still present as [hidden] task! (Maybe check msconfig?) Somebody tested? [i'm still thinking my version is better]

Syntax error

Sorry, there is no other way. You can place shortcut to shutdown into start menu and assign shortcut.

So you want to say that Windows XP x64 won't work with FAT32?

Of course. How can I do not care about RP users?! That version will simply have no effect if installed on Revolutions Pack.

Please, do not bump old topics.

Have you tested?

Beta test is over. All found bugs fixed. New shutdown dialog is present by default in Revolutions Pack since 2.5. You can download standalone version if you want: shutdown.zip

Silently updated it to add qfecheck entries for compatibility with original hotfix.

Yes... That stupid bug that wasn't actually critical for 9x/ME is closed now. By me. Without lockups or something like. It was already fixed in 98 Revolutions Pack, but i've separated fix from it and proud to release it here. Spread it worldwide. Download (do not link directly please!!!) Gape: notice that it's 98 user32.dll 4.10.0.2231 version hacked; it's version changed to 4.10.0.2232 to supress errors after installation. USER.EXE remains unchanged; it's included only for user32.dll compatibility. If you will include it to Service Pack (hope so), note that Windows won't work propertly without Ti891711.DLL. Revolutions Pack users: you don't need that update.

Thx u very much

I think it's just useless to download every (especially RC) version of SP.

He PM'ed. I'm finishing version 2.5 and I think we'll talk about next release versions.
