Wow thanks, that website answered all my questions except one. Will it work with custom themes? And other desktop enhancements? Btw to the dev of XPIZE XPero awesome job man. Seriously you deserve a spot on MS's visual team.

Hi guys, just stumbled across this thread after visiting MSFN for months, and OMG you guys have some SICK looking desktops. A few q's though. Furby: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=283042 Where can I find this wallpaper? Ive scoured google and only found crappy gifs of it where the edges on cartman are jagged, and the only colors I can find with him are Green, and Yellow. I know changing the color is dead easy in photoshop but I need a good quality base first. SimonSays: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=280720 Firstly, yours is probably the nicest looking desktop i have ever seen, beautiful. Is it AveDesk 1.2 that allows you to have the month scrolling down the sides, the icons and everything? To anyone who can answer: 1. Where can I find the shinobi themes for windows they look awesome. 2. Can I use XPIZE and AveDesk or is it one or the other? 3. Does AveDesk have a big CPU hit? Thanks!! I cant wait to get started on my own desktop now lol.

Ive seen a few respectable members of MSFN boards use this program now, and im getting curious. Could someone please give me a more detailed overview of what this does? I know it makes windows look cooler, but im not exactly sure how? Also will this cause problems with things such as custom themes (a hacked uxtheme), or custom icons, using AveDesk etc etc

kelsenellenelvian, thanks for your help, really appreciate it. So do you recommend RunOnceEx vs GuiRunOnce? or does it really not matter? Also, how do I upgrade my WPI? I cant see a upgrade thread anywhere, and Im not sure which files I need to move to keep my settings the same. Thanks again.

How do I upgrade while still keeping my uA cd working? Do you advise running it through GuiRunOnce or RunOnceEx?

No I do it like this: (from website) In winnt.sif: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\InstallWPI.cmd ;Renames Admin acct, and disables guest %systemdrive%\install\admin.cmd ;cleansup the crap %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd InstallWPI.cmd @ECHO OFF cmdow @ /HID ECHO. ECHO Calling WPI ECHO. start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WPI\WPI.HTA exit Should I be calling WPI.cmd? I heard from asta you can call WPI from RunOnceEx instead and u chose ur apps at the beggining instead of after XP has installed. As I dont know anything about RunOnceEx I havnt attempted this yet. On a side note should I be upgrading to a newer WPI?

Does anyone know if I can open up this program then edit the NSIS or quickdeploy to ditch this error box?

Thanks I tried that and when I went to open NeroMegaPluginPack.msi it says The Specified file is not a Windows executable: Path\To\NeroMegaPluginPack.msi.... I opened up the msi again and it says windows installer, then when it opens it says Installer2Go. I know Installer2Go is a s/w package for making .msi files, so why cant WinINSTALL LE 2003? Thanks!

Ok so even after putting that reg file in the WPI reg file im still getting the error. I get this randomly throughout the WPI installations. I know its the WPI as the msgBox says WPI at the title bar and then says IE script is running slow, do you want to abort? YES, NO I cant ever leave it unatteneded as once this screen pops-up It no longer works.

Ok ive tried everything now, this is what im currently using: %cdrom%\Software\Alcohol\1952802\setup.exe /QN /norestart still shuts down. Its starting to really annoy me now. If anyone else knows how to stop this please let me know.

Looks nice and clean to me! Just missing the XP part in the logo

Ok so is there a link to where I could get a tut or something?

Dont exactly know how, link please?

Ok thanks, if anyone knows or have a silent version of spywareblaster3.3 please let me know.

I tried installing this the way I have read in the last posts with: %cdrom%\Software\SpywareBlaster\spywareblastersetup33.exe /verysilent /NOCANCEL /SP- /NORESTART funny thing is tho it seems as if they have built in a stop to silently installing, as setup throws me a window which says: spywareblaster doesnt support silent installations, please run the setup file directly. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this program even worth the hassle, just use spybot and ad-aware? It was recommened to me so I figured id throw it on. thanks

woot thanks!! Maybe this should be added in as default, and then turned back on when WPI is finished. Unless im the only one with the problem.

Yes while reinstalling windows for new hardware is the best choice, its not always that simple. Now im in a pickle of which method to chose. Which is the easiest to update? Say I have my XPCD done with all drivers now and in a month you update it, say for new ATI drivers. I want these new drivers so id have to update my drivers package, which would be the best?

Thanks Bâshrat the Sneak, you have cleared a bunch of things up for me. Just a few more q's now. If I kept them for after installation that would be better for new hardware added right? Othwise id be using XP's base drivers. If I did method2 (which I have seen does not use winnt, or doesnt have to) how would I be able to keep updating it, is it basically the same thing? Also should I keep 2 versions of my uA cd a non driver installed one and a driver installed one?

Dont mean to bump this, just curious if the best place to put these is in the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\System32 so that I can run them directly from the run and cmdline interface? I was planning on using Shortcut.exe as well so I can put them all in a folder under StartMenu\Programs\Admin Tools thanks!

Ok so besides method2 being space saving, its modular? you then go on to say method 1 is less space than method 2, which totally contradicts that method1 is less space saving. Also why wouldnt I want to keep the drivers on the cd? Basically what I want is that I can install my uADVD on any system and that it installs with the drivers for that system. Also does the driver packs have the ATI and NVIDIA packs, or will I have to do them seperatly? (i think they change a lot more than other drivers). I am also worried about updating the driver pack on my uA cd? Is it easy to update and reintegrate? thanks

I asked this in the unattened part of the forum, though no one is answering and it pertains more to WPI, and I would like this resolved asap as im almost done my cd. I have IE script debugging in my Tweaks file, which is run from commandlines.txt (t-12) and WPI is t-13 I thought, so my tweak should be applied. But its not (at least as far as I can tell) ;----- Disabled IE script debugger [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Disable Script Debugger"="yes" So either its not working or my WPI installs happen before the tweaks are applied. If the latter I need to know how to apply this before hand. A cheap trick I could do is make a reg file be the first thing my WPI does which does the IE debug, but there has to be an easier way. Anyone know? Thanks

Im new to implementing drivers. I am nearing the end of getting my uA cd ready, and wanting to add the drivers pack. I read the installation instructions but got lost when picking a method? The only clear advantage I can see between the two is space saving? But whats 100mb on a DVD? If someone could outline the pros and cons of both, or if this has been done allready (I searched but could not find) a link. Thanks!

Not a problem. No the problem is that the sfx as far as I know is just a repacking of a bunch of files to be put somewhere. The Plugin pack is an installer(.msi) allready that cant be extracted with WinRAR. Except in the readme, your supposed to change the install folder for V6 of Nero. Its default is set to v5. So if I run it silently, some of the files arent being copied into the correct directory, so I need to be able to change this. Im basically looking for a way to edit the MSI to change the native path, or someway of changing it via cmd line?

Ok not to be rude, but did you read my post? I can get it to install silently, its just the default silent install path is to a folder for an older version. A SFX wont help me here. as half of the installation is regfiles it applies.
