Like I just answered someone's PM, I will get to making a new MSI. But i don't promise to even start till next week. I lost the old file structures, so I'm gonna be either basing the MSI off of the old installer (sometimes a bad idea) or starting from scratch YET AGAIN (better in the long run assuming I back it up more often then I did the last one) But yeah, Thanksgiving....maybe

now by rip them all yourself, you of course mean illegally copying music from the CD to your harddrive and converting to say MP3? Technically, if you go by the full part of most copyright laws, what you did is illegal. You trasnfered from one media to another without permission. Remember back in the old days when you would copy a tape with another tape? That was illegal as well. Almost everything you do with the CD besides playing it, is illegal (according to the RIAA). Even letting someone in the same car as you listening is illegal to them. YOur friend should have his own CD to listen to the music.

the two lines he gave you didn't concern "default user". It concerened ALL User, and your user (the one currently loaded). Isn't that where the WMP link goes? Or are you refering to one on the StartMenu?

I'm still personally unsure of how I went form killing those electric dudes to them charging me up..... Your dog picture is kinda dark. And those things in Ravenholm are kinda....spooky. But fun to cut with the saw blades. lol. Where did you get your first two shots? I don't remember them. Maybe I'm not there yet....lol.

Do I have to use exactly this ? With the dots and Command_x after ? the dots are ellipses and the Command_1 and command_x simply show that you can have an infinite number of commands (perhaps). The commands should be enclosed in quotes, and should actually be commands. But CMDLINES.TXT is NOT A BATCH FILE. It's a VERY limited command interface, and most people call a CMD files so they CAN use all the capabilities of a batch file. you've been given examples of what it can be used for. Look at them.

SEARCH. Asked and discussed before.

I hear it's 1.5 hours till activation. SO if you preloaded through Steam, you should be able to play at 8:00 GMT I believe. Too bad I'll be asleep Oh wellz, just means I can't wait till morning.

you do know there IS a difference between Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 right? I can't tell which you're talking about. "Halo 2 Channel" at an halflife 2 irc server. The blog has an excerpt for Halo2 in your Half-Life 2 post. And I thought the Xbox release of Half-Life 2 was still some ways away.

How much work you plan on doing? Most probable answer is NO. However, if you install patches, and then IE6 do you seriously think you won't get an error? I have used XPCREATE to make a 2K disc, and have had no problems. greenmachine.msfnhosting.com Look into it. And Search.

Please search and ensure you are using the PROPER SFC for you system. WFP/SFC has been discussed COUNTLESS times.

since you're executing the install from within WIndows, $OEM$ needs to be within I386 i believe. CMDLINES.TXT does not work, because you didn't write one. You have a file called CMDLINES.TXT but it is NOT the proper format. [Commands] "COmmand 1" "COmmand 2" Is how CMDLINES.TXT should look. Most people call a batch file (what you currently have) from CMDLINES.TXT because alot of DOS functions are not available directly from CMDLINES.TXT but calling a batch file solves that. As for MSN Explorer and MSN Messenger, do a search. SOmetimes its the placement within WINNT.SIF and it fixes it (usually right after GUIUnattend). If that doesn't, try using nLite to completely remove it.

so search.... it's a NSIS installer i think, that means /S then you have to taskkill something I believe. if the /S doesn't work, try /silent

BAH! It's not winnt.sif. Just copy winntbbu.dll and wnntbbu.dl_ from the SP2 network install source, into your I386 folder. Then readd the lines to txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf. Next time, don't use nLite to remove it if you want it.

Cool... I really dont need that patch myself.. Buy, I wish microsoft would stop being so secretive/protective of their non-official (or whatever you want to call them) hot fixes. Like the one that is still not on windows update but was luckily a big enough problem for people to notice and thus be posted all over the net. By "the one" i mean the one that updated tcpip.sys to solve the VPN client connection problems. well, it's not on WU simply because it doesn't fix any SECURITY flaws. It's a programmatic flaw. If you look at all the updates that Microsoft has in SP2, you won't find a good majority of them on WU. Alot of them were just workarounds for something to work, same is the case with the TCPIP.SYS patch. It's not security, and thus not EVERYONE needs it, so it's NOT on WU. Pretty clear logic ot me. If you have the problem, you should hopefully know what ot search for to resolve said problem. I just wish there weren't so many SP2 patches... lol. But that's Microsoft for ya. Fix one thing, break 4 others.

now seriously...you have some understanding issues.... InstallRite is a program that monitors an applications installation, then creates a custom one from the changes. "copying over the registry files" Definate misunderstanding there. It does NOT matter where you copy over the registry files...HOWEVER, all that DOES matter is that you run regedit.exe /s (regfile) to actually import the registry changes. Otherwise, no matter what folder you copy the REG files to, that's all that will happen. The REG files are copied, but nothing is taken from them.

did you try /? on your hotfix? That tells you what you need. Bare in mind only the POST-SP2 hotfixes support integration. And ONLY hotfixes, not WMP or the stuff like that, or the IE update.

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess Will execute the RunOnce keys without rebooting.

rd /s /q is the QUICKEST way. You have to make time for the deletion. Either make the countdown longer, or move your batch file outside of your install folder (perhaps to %systemdrive%) then delete the folders, then call the shutdown command, then delete the batch file itself. THAT"S IT. AS I SAID YOU YOUR PREVIOUS THREAD. ::Double Post::

i get a twoline taskbar without editing the DAT file. Mine's a simply registry tweak. I set how I want the taskbar, restart. Export the TaskBarXP key, then reimport during install at CMDLINES.TXT and GUIRUNONCE. I dunno if both are needed, but doesn't hurt.

you WON'T see them as entries for Uninstall were NEVER added. SP2 was slipstreamed into the source, as was teh RyanVM's fixes. Not entries are made to allow them to be uninstalled.

try searching TaskbarXP or QuickLaunch One is bound to have it.

did I not say it was caused by you not recreating the boot folder? just follow the XP part of the flyakite.msfnhosting.com website again after slipstreaming SP2 into the source.

don't know why you were waiting..... almost all the information came from MSFN. Just check the references. Most is a rewrite of http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm , but presented in POSSIBLY an easier to read manner for people not used to editing files. Looks like I got another page to bookmark incase someone doesn't search....

load up the BMP file for your main screen (resource 1 i believe in ntoskrnl.exe) and wipe out it's color pallette. That should fix it. I believe it starts at offset 0x34 but I'm not sure. You'll notice it. It's usually after a long string of 0000000

if the batch file is inside of the folder being deleted, the batch file will terminate in favor for the deletion. Try and see...it will. The OBVIOUS solution to your problem, MAKE THE COUNTDOWN LONGER! Or copy the batch file out of your install/drivers folders, delete the two folders, call shutdown, then delete the batch file. Finished. Remember. Topic Closed EDIT:: DARN YOU MCT!! You beat me to it.
