[RC8 "Advanced INF Install Failure"]

I too am recieving this error, although I'm getting the INF errors twice. I spotted these entries in NLITE.INF:

HKU,".Default\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","nlpo_01",0x00020000,"rundll32 advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 ""%10%\Help\Tours"""

HKU,".Default\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","nlpo_07",0x00020000,"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nlite.inf,S"

I believe our problems are going to lie somewhere here. I'm about to do some testing and report back in a bit.

[Custom Process Dialogboxes]

Does anyone have a clue where I can find some process dialogs (copy, delete, download, etc) besides the kind that need an application to run fulltime in the background (like stardock)? I'm currently using XPize. I like the animation in the dialogs for some reason. However, I'm looking to change the whole dialog. I tried using the vista customization packs found in this section and I really really liked those dialogs, but those transformation packs finally ruined my system. I would have liked to figure out what changes were made to make my dialogs look that way. Any ideas?

Could stardock still hold an answer? Do I really need one of their programs running in the tray?

I guess I'm looking for something I can integrate in an unattended disc also.

thanks to all

================

Also...in what dlls would those dialog boxes be in?

[[beta] User Creation Tool]

This is something ive been looking for! Now only if i knew how to create multiple dif users

Has anyone tried this??

Incredible little app I've been playing with for over 8 months...it can do anything from adding multiple users (along w/ password expiration, set 'primary user', set roaming profiles, set user specific registry entries, etc) to installing files. Pretty sweet, no?

You can set it up to do only user setup, file setup or both.

[Unattended install]

Computer name and administrator password, eh?

[[rel] Vista Transformation Pack]

This looked to be like a promising pack and it's really a shame that it can't manage to even begin installing properly (amongst other things). The first time I installed I got several error 53s before it finally went tits up. I rebooted and some of my OS changed visually. Media Player, msn...they remained the same, but no worries. I tried integrating w/ nlite and that was a small disaster even through vmware.

Vista Transformation Pack has detected that
there's any Windows NT setup file in

E:\\i386

It's not recommend you to continue with this.
Please eject your Windows NT CD or move 
that folder to somewhere else. Press OK to exit
Vista Transformation Pack.

Now, it took me a long while to figure out what this was trying to tell me. Not that I ever did figure it out. Is it trying to say that there ISN'T any setup files? That there is? And WHY can I not continue to screw my system up if I feel I want to? Anyway, why does this app search the CD anyway? I first saw this message through nlite install. Then I just tried to install from my hd and got the same error. It wouldn't install without me having to remove my WinCD.. wtf?? haha

BUT THEN...

NTOSKRNL.EXE not found!

And I curse your camel!! but not really...

Since I am a sucker for pain, I tried the LITE version...

LMAO! It had a problem with it's SIF file. Something about needed data not found or something or other.

TSK TSK My friend.. but I guess today wasn't my day. It was worst than my toothache.

[[rel] Vista Transformation Pack]

Set vtp.sif to enable unattended transformation using First-Run transformation in your CD or get nLite/RVM Integrator Pack version.

Where can I find the nLite version?? I've tried integrating...I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Tells me something about NT Setup files found and quits.

[[rel] Vista Transformation Pack]

After installing and then running the setup again the maintenance window pops up. My question is:

What does Remove sponsership's softwares mean?

Is there spyware in this??

[RM on MCE extender]

As soon as I finished my last post, I went looking again for something better.

I can't believe what I came across.

I'm using K-Lite Mega Codec 1.52 w/ FULL options.

I downloaded Transcode 360, ran the setup...

I did NOTHING after the setup.

I powered on my Linksys Extender, picked an AVI movie, hit the Info button on my remote, selected More from the menu and hit an onscreen button called Transcode.

It worked. And not only with AVI files either!!!

HOLY s***!!!!

[RM on MCE extender]

yea i was hoping it may be a hack or something that you can do on the extender to make it watch it

Sure you can. I **** near scoured the whole internet looking for something that would work and wouldn't you know it....

XILISOFT VIDEO CONVERTER

Convert any file to be played on Linksys extender. Make sure to convert to MPEG-2 MOVIE format and that you overwrite the video size with the original. You'll see what I mean as Xilisoft shows you the original size and the default (which you can overtype). 

IT CONVERTS SUPER FAST. No kidding!

Oh, sometimes when watching the movie on the extender the movie would have that old kung fu godzilla effect (tall and skinny). Easy fix is to play the tv (if you have a tv card), sorry haven't tried anything else.

Also, you can convert the ms-pvr to other formats using DIGITAL MEDIA CONVERTER.

Expect to spend a day encoding though. It's the only one that converts MCE recorded movies (that I know of).

Hope it helps. And let me know how it works out for ya

[confused in Michigan]

and not only that, but I first noticed that wierd problem on my Linksys media extender. It seems to happen only on occasion on my pc itself. Some of the options in some programs like System Mechanic and Diskeeper 10 cause it to 'stutter' like that. Sometimes it takes a good 5 mins for the movie to continue playing.

I just push the fast forward every 2 secs or so instead of in quick succession.

A defrag ain't a bad idea either.

[tv tuner doesnt work]

did you install the drivers for your tv card?

I have a Hauppage PVRUSB2 and unless I install the primary INF and drivers, MCE won't recognize it.

All you need is the drivers, you don't need the tv programs that come with your card.

[Need switches for following apps]

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

NERO 7 -------------------------

First off you need a regtweak for this.

Copy and paste to NERO7.REG

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]
"Serial7_1140825345"="*xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

Keep that asterisk. Don't ask why!

Now before calling Nero 7 setup, add the above to the registry using %systemroot%\regedit.exe /s %srcdrive%\Software\Nero\nero7.reg or something like that.

Next, Nero 7 Setup

NeroSuite.msi PIDKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /norestart /qb

You must look for the NeroSuite.msi usually found in the Nero\Nero 7 Ultra Edition folder.

DVD DECRYPTER-----------------------------

%srcdrive%\Software\DVDDecrypter\Setup.exe /S

Make sure to use a CAPITAL S

ZONELABS SUITE----------------------------------------

Much like NERO this too needs a reg tweak:

copy to ZASUITE.REG

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Add to System Startup
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Zone Labs Client"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Zone Labs\\ZoneAlarm\\zlclient.exe\""

;Disable prompts to install MailFrontier on startup
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MailFrontier]

Call the setup program FIRST with the following commandline:

%srcdrive%\Software\ZoneAlarm\ZASuite.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Then regedit the tweak.

Hope this helps as these are the harder switches to come by.

Good luck finding the rest!

[ehshell.exe]

I've run into this error myself. The cause was ffdshow or something or other installed with KLite Mega. I've since did a minimal install of KLITE and no more errors. So it could be a codec. or not.

[MCE UNattended]

Why don't you slipstream using Bashrat the Sneaky's MassStorage drivers?

BTS Drivers Page

You don't need to slipstream all the packs. Just make sure to download the base and massstorage pack and slipstream AFTER NLite.

[WinntbbuED]

Hmmm...I have both WINNTBBU.DLL and WINNTBBU.DL_ in i386. Do I have to seperately edit both?

wtf

lol - I wish there was a little walkthrough for dumbasses like myself.

The reason I ask anyway is because I tried to edit JUST THE WINNTBBU.DLL (no syssetup). It seemed to work, but the install crashed at T-39 with an incomplete catalog type thingy message.

?help please!

-----------------------10mins Later........

Ok..I've figured the DLL and DL_ thing out. as for syssetup.dll, do I recompress to my install disc's i386\system32 or just copy there as is(uncompressed)?
