Perhaps the fact that the hfslip entries get busted once you try to uninstall any component using the add/remove components window and that it doesn't happen when the file is defraged is good enough reason.

As you already did add a dependency on wget for the updates of hfslipfc itself, would it be possible to extend the functionality to automatically download all the missing updates?

I get a few file copy errors in txt mode for for example these files: bitstransfer.format.ps1xml certificate.format.ps1xml and some other .ps1xml and some other files although the corresponding packed files and entries in .inf are there, I guess the txt mode doesn't like the long extensions.

Your site lists KB971276 as English only and the file-checker also displays the ENU filename when it's missing, but there are localized versions of this fix, recheck the download page.

^^ That was with RC, which still contained loads of debugging code that was holding it back . Even though I expected it, I was really surprised how much faster the RTM version is compared to RC, it really flies.

Running fine here on A64 3200+/1GB RAM. I was very impressed by the beta so I installed RC as my main OS. It's not faster than XP, but also not slower and a lot less sluggish thanks to the improved memory management - that was the only gripe I had about XP, 30+ second HD grinding after minimizing and maximizing Firefox (just an example) even though there was a lot of free memory was driving me mad. Vista, in comparison, was totally unusable on the same machine.

Sorry, I don't understand your reply, unless you didn't follow the link I posted and have mistaken the program I linked to with some other with similar name. The patcher I linked to is only 72 kB big, so it definitely doesn't contain any prepatched files.

Well, apart from working on anything from XP to V7, that one is patching the actual files you have on your system, not just dumping some prepatched files, so it's version and language independent.

This one - Universal Theme Patcher - is a lot better option.

There are a few possibilities, but the most probable is, that you have a multi-core processor, so your system is using ntkrnlmp.exe instead of ntoskrnl.exe. The other possibility is, that your file gets overwritten with the file from SP3.cab.

Not exactly true for DVDs, media rated for higher speeds don't like being burned at too low speeds, also you can't burn at 1x as that is not supported by any current drive, the lowest speed for DVD is 4x. You shouldn't be so concerned about speed, more important is the brand of the media you are burning on.

You don't need source to release a virus/spyware loaded version of nLite/vLite. And there is already loads of virus loaded OS ISOs created with nLite/vLite, releasing it's source wouldn't make any difference, no one would bother with it as there are simpler and more effective ways to distribute malware.

Not that powerful yet, there is no support for menu/dialog/string etc. resources, so outside of the scope of xpize (replacing icons and images), it's not very useful yet.

Works of course. You still have to enable the "Win XP compatibility mode" for v.9.6.0+ (or just when using "some" plugins), same goes for Vista as well due to outdated "bla bla" in the code. Don't run foobar in compatibility mode, update the affected plugins. That warning isn't there just for fun, there was a bug in the SDK used to compile plugins, that caused serious troubles on Vista, that's why a check for this was added. All currently actively developed plugins were recompiled with newer (fixed) versions of SDK.

I only integrated SP3 and created the ISO, nothing else, so there is no Last Session.ini.

No Last Session.ini, as I said, I only integrated SP3, no other modifications.

Czech obviously, it would be quite noticeable if half of the system was in English, provided that it would let me integrate it in the first place.

After slipstreaming SP3 I get this in setuperr.log (it's in Czech, my translation in parentheses). The installation finishes without any problems and everything works, but when running sfc /scannow, I get hundreds of file protection errors. I only slipstream SP3 (the source is a clean SP0 disc), no addons, no drivers and no component removal. All CAT files in CatRoot are valid. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Why not use an installer, for example Inno Setup, it's pretty simple. And if you use ISTool (a visual Inno Setup script creator), it shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes and just a few looks in the helpfile, even if you never used it before.

Any plans to add support for actual resource editing (like Resource Hacker - dialogs, menus, string tables etc.) not just image/icon replacing. It would be nice to have an actively developed resource editor with x64 and .NET support.

I would rather guess it's because the case is buried under all that mess you have around it and there is not enough distance from the wall, so that it can't properly exhaust all the heat. Try to pull it out and run it outside of the desk for some time and you will see.

From your other post on forum, you switched from a NV card to ATI. Well, that is not as bad as switching motherboards, but still Windows sometimes freaks out because of this, you will probably have to do a reinstall.

Actually you can delete it even in Windows, you just have to take ownership of it as normally only the SYSTEM account has access rights to it, but there is no point to it, as it will be recreated automatically, so no, there is no way to get rid of it.
