ricktendo

What about bug reporting or requesting a feature that was later added?

You should talk to N1K a.k.a NIM over @ Wincert, don't know what he did but spammers were reduced to nothing

Can I get the "64" removed from my username and have it just be "ricktendo" TIA

Yep, same http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/installation/windows/Pages/deploying-windows-8-video-training.aspx

Dunno about Metro but Windows on ARM was before the ipad http://www.istartedsomething.com/20120210/photo-exif-evidence-points-to-windows-on-arm-before-ipad-release/

DirectX you can just take the normal installer and run it with /Silent, for all the VC runtimes you can use this installer of mine, also have one for .net 4.5 (you do know that XP is not supported, use .net 4.0) I also have a AIO with 1.0 to 4.0 but they all have a Spanish langpack

The drivers are probably failing to install because files may be missing...the best way to back up drivers is to install them like you would normally do, then go to %WinDir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, sort the folders by date and you will see your drivers at the top, back them up and use these to integrate

What version of Windows is the Media Center on?

Microsoft has blocked this from being integrated

Thanks for your reply hessam, I was able to get it working thanks to Dubby

You can find newer updated Realtek Audio and Ethernet drivers on the official site and you should be good to go with the Win7x64 VGA driver on Win8x64 (you could probably find a newer one on Station-Drivers)

Find out the exact name of the fonts and add them to nLite's keepfiles, but you may have to manually install them

Installing simhei font should suffice

Thanks, I may also be needing one of these soon

Hey guys, hopefully somebody here can help me. I am trying to create a rebuilt, updated .NET Framework 4.5 installer ***exactly as the original.*** I have managed to split the SFX from the original installer, integrate the updates and rebuild everything again but the only problem is the setup.exe checking for digital signatures (of the updated .mzz and *.msi files) that causes it to fail If anybody knows how to remove the signature check from the setup files I would greatly appreciate your help (I think its either Setup.exe or SetupEngine.dll need to be modded) BTW I don't know if this clue helps, but I notice that I can use the modded installer to "Uninstall" the Framework if it is already installed, the setup verification of the modded msi and mzz files passes Here is a link to the original installer http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653

Trolls

Who said I was cheerleading? I don't like that they removed Media Center (and are now charging for it,) I also hate that they removed aero (but after reading this article convinced me otherwise) but you don't see me whining (at least not as much as you guys) about it You should think about changing the name of this topic from "Windows 8 - Deeper Impressions" to "Windows 8 - Negative stuff I found on the net" Edit: @jaclaz same thing can be said to you all. Nobody is forcing you at gunpoint to use Windows 8, stick with whatever OS you are using now

Are you guys going to post EVERY negative article that comes out about Windows 8? I'm sorry but this topic is nothing but a diarrhea of articles, I'd even go as far as saying this is bordering on spam OK we get it, you don't like Windows 8

I don't think you need && for cmdlines, plus look at your x86 line it has {x64} (that's why it fails)

Use "&&" to separate them getBits()==32&&getOSver()=="Win7"

None needed, Windows Defender does the job

The IE flash player is already included/installed

Also make sure your computer clock is correct, I had the same sorta problem when the power went off my PC clock was reset to 2008
