Make sure the key you're using is the Media Center Key. Make sure Media Center isn't selected for removal in nlite. Make sure the MEDIACTR.CAB SONIC.CAB and PLUS... cab are in the CMPNENTS folder before you burn to disc.

B)--> QUOTE(chris.b @ Dec 27 2006, 11:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Oops ... thats an logonui.exe ... Can you please post the right one without MCE pic? ThxEdit : XPero, do you plan to put this one into XPize 4.6 final (maybe beta2 too)? Looks very great and I'd like to patch my german winntbbu.dll with XPize. If this is not planed, maybe antonio_king can provide the resources so we can patch our localized files. Xpize will patch just the images leaving the text displayed intact, ie: if u run xpize on a german system, only the winntbbu images will change, and still keep the german text.

@ just laze Other than editing the hive inf's manually do u no of any other way to make visual effects load up on first boot?

using nLite is the best method... You'll have your tweaks loaded on first boot.

Try this DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"

I'm not sure if I like this? What does everyone else think?

The .msstyles file that came with your Tiger OS-X theme will tell Windows what fonts to use. This will be loaded on first boot. The default theme that comes with Windows tells Windows to use fonts like Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, etc... To have the fonts you want load up on first boot you would have to edit the msstyles file in Resource Hacker (or alike) and change all references of fonts to the ones you want.

This is a simple tweak implemented by deleting the bootstat.dat file from the Windows directory. In nLite's case I guess you'd just have to get txtsetup.sif to stop creating or whatever file creates it?

My windows is activated too.

Has the MCE support been dropped!?

I agree, this is the only way. Maybe nlite could modify the luna.msstyles file and the themeui.dll file ... the themeui.dll file specifies the default fonts for Classic Windows Theme. TBH, I don't think nuhi will take this on as it looks fairly time consuming to implement it, and I know he's been saying time is becoming precious. Would be really really nice though

How do you regsiter fonts as defaults? Edit, O I see what you mean, yea that method does work, however... You have to reboot before the fonts you specify come into effect. The whole point of this post is to point out ways that will apply personal fonts unattended, and so they're applied on first boot.

Xpero, you need to set it so it removes that resouce. Would it look nicer if I made a replacement image that would blend in with that top bar on the winntbbu? I've always thought the non-MCE winntbbu looked a bit plain.

Yea! I came across hacking the msstyles file a couple of days ago. I know alot of people have come across fonts not being applied on first boot. I'm not sure if it can be done at all with .inf .reg or .cmd files as when a user logs in for the first time it applies the system's theme for the first time, and its within actuall .dll's and msstyle files that the font is chosen from. I think the only way people can accomplish changing the fonts for first boot is by hacking these files. Would be fantastic if nuhi was prepared to implement this feature!

ok, i've tried that.. still isn't appearing on the menu. I tested slipstreaming ONLY wmp11 to my source. The option did appear, I'm assuming another hotfix or something else is effecting the menu.

The option to minimize Media Player 11 is missing from the toolbars menu on the taskbar. Posted here as I slipstreamed Media Player 11 using HFSLIP.

@ Tomcat76... POSSIBLE GOOD NEWS... I install my media center from CMDLINES normally in this order... "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf" "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf" "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection SonicDVDandCDBurning 128 sonic.inf" But since you pointed out the errors in MedCtrOC.log I changed the order to... "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection SonicDVDandCDBurning 128 sonic.inf" "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf" "rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf" After the install I checked the MedCtrOc.log to see if any errors occured... NO! I havn't had a chance to check whether this effects the results of Windows Update, will get back to you on that. Any way, a possible resolution is to try and involk the sonic.cab to install before mediactr.cab. This will resolve the errrors! UPDATE Unfortunately the updates are still showing up on Windows/Microsoft Update website. But at least this shows the errors on MedCtrOc.log are not the cause of the updates showing up on the website.

The same reg tweak file containing my custom fonts is ran at CMDLINES.TXT and RunOnce and from a batch script in the Startup folder. The fonts don't apply until I have restarted the machine after first boot up. This problem also occured when I applied my own visual display settings in the same manner, seeings as nlite has resolved this I thought would be a good idea to maybe have nlite let you choose what fonts you'd like to use... I guess another way I could do it is by manually adding it to the HIVE inf files that are loaded in BlueText setup...

Tomcat, are you using proper windows MCE discs or do u install MC from CMDLINES.TXT?

Very nice feature request!

What do you mean by "all the other updates"? Those within the rollup package or also the regular XP hotfixes? These are all of the MCE updates windows update asks for on my installation... WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325-usa WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB925766-ENU WindowsXP-KB912024-v2-x86-ENU So those are the ones I slipstream. When I run windows update it says KB900325 is missing. As you said yourself the standard installer doesn't work if Windows Media Player 11 is installed so I extracted KB900325.exe and ran that file. Windows update now says that it needs KB925766, KB912024 and Windows Media Player 11 for Media Center Edition.

The only key you need to import is... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents] "OOBETimer" The others make no difference.

KB900325 still shows up on Windows Update. In fact, even after manually installing the KB900325 update all the other updates show up even though I slipstreamed them with HFSLIP? Also have another REQUEST... Could we have a folder within the FIX one for MEDIACTR, So we can copy modified files and have it recabbed in the MEDIACTR.CAB when HFSLIP does this? This would be a fantastic addtition imo as I have to copy over the Royale.Theme file after Install to use my custom icons. thanks!
