That's a totally different thing than tracking Imagex. For installing an MSI file you need to look at msiexec.exe but you'll notice that process stays active for up to 10 minutes after completing the installation of the MSI file.

I never got it to work by adding multiple locales in the XML file. I always use the intl.cpl and XML file. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ie/goglobal/bb964650%28en-us%29.aspx What is the default language of the OS you are installing? I mean, is it the En-US ISO?

It sounds like something might be on a delayed start on your PC that is causing the problem. From your description it sounds like you experience this: Turn on PC, open browser. Go to HTTPS site and it works. Wait some minutes, try again and it doesn't work. But I wonder if this scenario would also happen: Turn on PC. Wait like 20 minutes. Go to https site and it doesn't work.

I wouldn't have any idea what the real number is. I could guess maybe its at least 80% (or I could wager it might be something like 95%!) Even with my own projects, I had written the deployment system to count a Downgrade as a Windows 8 system. But we are in a time period where people can still buy Windows 7 without using the Downgrade program. They aren't forced into doing a downgrade to get Windows 7 yet, but I haven't heard when that time is. You can expect that once Windows 7 technically enters "downgrade only" phase, there will be a news update saying Windows 8 sales went up.

I know you put in the tag "all browsers" but you didn't bring it up in your post. According to your signature I presume this means you primarily use Chrome. Have you tried both the Desktop IE10 and the Metro Modern IE10?

That's "new technology" for you. This version of the forum uses a bunch of Javascript. So I guess that explains some of these "walls of text" people have been posting lately.

Windows 8.1 is a problem when it comes to "planning" deployments. Already got a look at the "new" policies and they are pretty much the same as Windows 8. So I am really hoping that I don't have to do much planning other than just doing it the same as Windows 8. So the problem comes in where I can't do any actual testing because how the Preview works. In the two installation paths (through the store or the ISO) they both require (or prefer) connecting to the internet. So its just a waiting game but I doubt there would be some mass scramble to get it rolling. I've heard that most of the Windows 8 licenses being sold are through the Downgrade Rights program anyways.

If you are going to stick with this board, you should probably try to get matching sets of memory.

We need a shush emoticon, I thought we had one. Oh well.

I am not entirely familiar with the name, but Kevin Mitnick did tweet about him last week.

I split these posts out of the suggestion thread.

If you mean something like this: The industry term is the "Mickey Mouse plug"

Hey I just remembered. You couldn't see the PNG files I had put in the alignment thread... I think maybe that's where the problem is! http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163491-align-bbcodes-modification-installed/

Does it look like this? Do you have this problem with both the Quick Reply (the reply at the bottom of a thread page) and also the regular Reply (or the More Reply Options button)? There is a button that makes the toolbar turn into that. It looks like a gear. The purpose of that button, I do not know. Anyways, if you click it, maybe the labels show up. I found the gear picture: Also, speaking of the labels. The GUI uses that method of having all the images in one physical PNG file and using coordinates to determine which to display. I do not know the name of this method as I've never learned it! But whatever this method is, maybe it is not supported by your browser as it is a fairly recent "development" I've seen on Websites. The images for the Reply Editor are used from one of these links: http://www.msfn.org/board/public/js/3rd_party/ckeditor/skins/ips/icons.png http://www.msfn.org/board/public/style_images/shift/editor/icons.png

Not to send the guy on a wild goose chase.... WAIK term stopped at Windows 7 SP1. Windows 8 has one called this: Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows® 8 I personally prefer the WAIK, I think the ADK adds a bunch of stuff into the bundle that I wouldn't ever use.

I missed it at first. OP put the software name in a thread tag: Paragon Partition Manager 12.

Well if you take a look at our users, OS death date means nothing. Windows 98 and 2000 are still going strong here!

That picture hurts my eyes. Also reminds me of the kind of things I could create with whatever bloatware came with the Windows 95 on my old Packard Bell.

What exactly do you mean by this? If we are using the same words, I see editing controls when I create a new topic.

I know what you are talking about. On some OSes, if I am working with a mounted image, *sometimes* it won't let me change some files. I have attributed this to Windows being "dumb" and treating any folder called System32 to be the one of the booted OS. But I rarely do any work using a Desktop OS (where this seems to happen most) and never have a problem modifying an image from a Server OS.

You are using the built-in Microsoft driver. I think even on Windows 8, the Intel drivers do not install. I have heard some complaints of USB3 not working as expected (speed related) using the built-in drivers. I know the actual driver file names you need for this (iusb3xhc.inf and iusb3hub.inf) but not specifically which package (there are 2 different ones with the release of the 8 boards).

There are actually 2 images in my test post. However, I have heard others say they cannot see that image on other forums. Its a PNG file (not sure if that matters) and the link to it is here: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/Tripredacus/sigs/GumballWatterson_avatar_zps1df3bcaf.png

View New Content operates within the section you are currently located in. If you do this from your profile (being in the user section) you see new users. If you use it on the forum index (the topic section) you see new topic/replies. I'm not certain that it is a bug. In fact, all the IP.Boards I visit do this same thing, for example Reboot.pro and Tformers.com.

Probably. Windows protection would likely prevent you from replacing some of those files after the fact, or be restore from the store after a reboot.

Server 2012 R2 Essentials Preview has this problem too. EDIT: removed URL, its in the Partner portion of MS Answers which I'm not sure everyone can get to.
