Dumpy Dooby

The edges around the bright red area are jagged. I don't know if that matters to you, but it looks odd to me.

Is there going to be a big difference between this one and Microsoft's guide? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvi...3dd53bc3fa.mspx I haven't even taken a look at Vista yet, let alone any of the guides. I'm so not looking forward to learning everything all over again.

Well, that makes sense. I didn't realize that there was a -ms switch now. Sweet. Hopefully v2 goes final soon. I'm really liking it.

I'm curious to know why this was discontinued. Luckily I got newest flavor before you took it down. But I'm wondering if you discontinued it because of bugs or something.

Mhz, your knowledge of AutoIt is quite impressive. You're there immediately answering everyone's AutoIt questions. Good man.

It appears as though KB921883 has been replaced with KB924054. As such, 921883 returns a 404 when attempting to download. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924054/

Nah. There are already far better programs available that do this better than anything I could write. Besides, it seems to me that most people would prefer to stick with just one or two formats for archiving, in which case something that can support 27 methods of archiving really wouldn't do any good. The reason Universal Extractor is so useful is because it lets you handle content from other users, which is out of your control. Content that you create yourself is within your control, and therefore you can use your own preferred format and compression utility. Just out of curiosity, though, does anyone else see value in this? Am I missing the mark here? Edit: Woo-hoo! I'm a full-fledged "Member" now. And it only took 22 months. B) I was thinking more along the lines of repacking installers. Say you decompress an MSI, replace a file, and then wanna repack it as an MSI. Of course the same would apply to Inno and the others. That's more of what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure most will agree that for just archiving, 7zip has the best compression.

Do you intend to ever add a universal compressor? So like ... one could select a bunch of files and then select how they'd like to pack them.

ogmogmogmogm DID U NOE TAHT ITUENZ HAS BEEN UPDATATETED TOO?@??!?! jk

NOD32 (download trial version from site, then apply license via registry file ... pretty sure that'll work) Nero (same as above)

I actually did this once before. It was a really long time ago. But when I did it, it was slightly different from what you're looking to do. I had created a 1GB FAT32 partition with a compressed Ghost image on it. I hid the partition and used some Win98 hack to dual boot that partition or Windows XP, but only upon certain conditions. I used a conditional statement to search for a file on a floppy disc. In the end, I just handed them a floppy and computer. If they ever wanted to restore the computer, they would just have to pop in their floppy and start the computer, and it would ask them "Are you sure?!" a few times and voila! Now, I did that because I didn't want them to worry about losing a CD/DVD. In your case, something like that would be even easier. Just use Norton Ghost.

I prefer 7z SFX because of the custom dialog box. However, the uninstall script will come in handy. Thanks a bunch.

I see that now... Luna Element 5 Blue by Duke (dd_duke@msn.com) Nevertheless, neotool deserves credit. It's obvious he was the first that made this skin. Everyone else is just copying his. tornado5 even links neotool as the Winamp skin maker on the Luna Element site (link: http://www.lunaelement.net/wordpress/?page_id=6). To not give the guy credit would just be downright mean. I modified the startup button and start menu on LE5, but I didn't go around telling people it was my creation ... and changing the colors in Winamp is significantly easier than that.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/120057...me+-in%3Ascraps Gee, it looks a lot like neotool's, except colored for LE5. You should at least give the guy credit where credit is due (you even removed the link to his website in the skin info, assuming you took his skin, that is ... which it really looks like you did).

@echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup" /v SystemSetupInProgress') DO SET SSIP=%%B IF /I '%SSIP%'=='0x0' SET SSIP=0 IF /I '%SSIP%'=='0x1' ( SET SSIP=1 ) ELSE ( SET SSIP=1 ) IF /I '%SSIP%'=='1' ( reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW /f reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f ) hidec.exe /w msiexec /i netfx2.msi /qn reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d %SSIP% /f I wrote this. Been using it for a while. It works. Note the second to last line, hidec.exe /w msiexec /i netfx2.msi /qn. I am using that hidec.exe that RogueSpear includes in all of his silent installers. If you don't want to use that, just modify the syntax of that line. Save this script as a .cmd and put it in with your dnfw2 SFX.

What card do you have that allows 3 monitors at once? Also, can you have #3 mirror #2 and have #2 be extended from #1? (sorry if that's confusing, but that's what we're really wanting at my work)

Also, I meant to ask, could you upload a non-beta version? I really don't like putting anything that's BETA on my XP discs.

Shark, I'm not sure how you do it with Winamp, but I noticed with your codec pack, you have your shortcuts premade. If this is how you do it with all of your releases, may I suggest you look into XXMKLINK.EXE? It's a command line utility that will create shortcuts. As long as you can pass the proper variables to it, it will be able to dynamically create shortcuts, thus allowing users to select alternative install directories. You should be able to just Google it. If you can't find it, but are interested in taking a look at it, let me know and I can host it on my server.

Did you opt to create the log file? If you're running a silent InstallShield installer from a CD (or any other read-only medium), you need to specify a location for the log file. The proper syntax is on the previous page, but I just want to emphasize that point. I don't understand why this wouldn't be working for you guys.

That's actually the method that I use on my website. The problem, though, is that requires that you set a value for the height and width of the image, right? All of my code is valid XHTML so my images always have a specified height and width; I just want to make sure that's well known around these parts, because I could imagine people might get confused by having 1x1 PNG images.

IE7 won't skip it. It will be interpreted; it just won't have any adverse effects (my assumption, anyway). As far as I can tell, your javascript doesn't have anything that would prevent IE7 from running it (although, my code in the thread prevented IE7 from running it).

Oh, phew. I was just about to work on a method for making it work. Good thing I didn't start already. And.. You're welcome. Glad you got it working.

You can use regex to hide all SELECTs. Dunno how that would effect it. As for the PNG issue (coming in here a bit late ... I assume that's what you're talking about when you're referring to "Dumpy Dooby's method"), I hadn't tested it with tooltips. It's only supposed to work with IMG tags (I'm assuming that the tooltips don't use IMG tags?). Anyway, I'll see what I can do to get it to work with tooltips. Hopefully someone will let me know if they get it working before me.

No offense, but I agree with azaze1. I think that describing it as "final" could be misleading since there are, indeed, problems. I pointed out another problem on the previous page, and I'll look into fixing it right now. Overall, though, I think "final" was slightly premature. (and I say that without malice, ill-intent, etc. I will still try to contribute toward WPI's development.) edit: Nevermind. I take back my point about the "problem" that I found. It had to do with a custom setting that I put in the CSS file. The fault was entirely my own. However, there have been reports of other bugs, but I do see your reasoning for wanting to just move on.

I was trying to get a cross-browser color-selector to work as a value in a form (using multiple colors: background and foreground), and I never did get it working. I was trying last night. Does that color selector work in multiple browsers? The one I have right now works in IE, Firefox, and Mozilla, but it just doesn't look right in IE. I have to do some more modifying to make it exactly how I want it. Anyway, just wondering if that color-selector will be of use to me, and if so, may I use it? Also, as an alternative to the alert, you can just document.write something along the lines of <span style="line-height: 12px; width: 100%; background: #f00; color: #fff; font-weight: 900;">Sorry, [variablehere], is not recognized as a proper color.</span> Edit: Here's the color-selector I was trying to use. I just couldn't get it to work with multiple menus. It might be useful to you guys, though. http://www.daltonlp.com/daltonlp.cgi?item_...amp;item_id=174 (in IE, you could change the cursor to the little dropper a la Photoshop)
