i pulled that info form this website. here. so basically if i use the dll they have on the site i can run the batch files from sp1?? if not i will try and work on making them work with SP2 and try to slim it up some.

can anyone confirm that following these instructions to change the syssetup.dll file will work?? Unlock Windows XP Setup.. Some of you are familiar with SYSSETUP.INF because this file is responsible of components installation. In the past, this file was editable and we were able to customize Windows installation with some modifications to this INF. This file is now signed and to be able to play with it, we need to skip the signing verification in the setup process. I give credit to Timothee Ruas for identifying the function called for this verification (pSetupVerifyFile from SYSSETUP.DLL). Many calls are made to this function but only one is important for unlocking SYSSETUP.INF. For the Service Pack 2 (SYSSETUP.DLL english version 5.1.2600.2180), the function call we want to skip is at offset 336BC. Call 697712CA inc dword ptr [ebp+FFFFF5B4] mov edi, eax cmp edi, esi je 6974426A jmp 697442F0 What is interesting is the jmp 697442F0 if the INF is good. Earlier in the ASM, in a block beginning at offset 3366A, there is a jnb 697442F0 followed by 2 functions call to get information's about the INF (before doing the verification). mov eax, dword ptr [ebp+FFFFF5D0] mov ecx, dword ptr [ebp+FFFFF5B4] cmp ecx, dword ptr [eax+04] jnb 697442F0 push esi push 00000104 lea edx, dword ptr [ebp+FFFFF7DC] push edx push ecx push eax ...... SetupQueryInfFileInformationW at offset 3368A pSetupGetFileTitle at offset 336AC ...... If we change jnb 697442F0 to jb 697442F0 then we skip the verification and our modified SYSSETUP.INF is not recognize as an invalid file. This mean that only one byte patching is needed. So, at offset 33679 you should read and write the following : 73 75 : jnb 697442F0 Changed by 72 75 : jb 697442F0 Finally, checksum of SYSSETUP.DLL must be changed to be able to put it on your installation CD (folder .\I386). PECheckSum can do this correction, just look at JDOE Tools section above to get it.
