AlbertS2 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi Albert! This sounds like a good program but I ran into some difficulties as .NET framework 3.5 is always hanging on my machine and refuses to install as expected. My OS is Portuguese Vista Home Edition x64 Do I really need to install a 200Mb framework to run this program? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...en#Requirements Just a suggestion, please consider using a more flexible language that doesn't limit your program to be depending on the .NET framework. AutoIt (basic related) is a good example of this: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3 You'd be able to code a program that would surely run on most windows machines without any worries about including (redundant) .NET frameworks. I personally use delphi 7 (pascal based) for years and it's a heck of a good compiler and many other good options exist for C as well. This would be a plus when compared to other programs with similar functions that explicitly require .NET --- Downloaded beta 3 and used UniExtract to take a glimpse on the binaries you've included. To replace SmartWIM you can use WimUtil (coded in AutoIt by a russian developer called Nikzzzz for NightMan, author of VistaPE): http://vistape.net/beta - very simple to be used as you can double click on the exe to see the instructions. It's free and the developer will likely add any additional functions that you require, he can be contacted here: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/View-Membe...ofile-m711.html oscdimg.exe can be replaced with mkisofs.exe, look for it under the same page I've posted for wimutil and I'm sure that you can find replacements for most of the restricted copyrighted files that you're including on the package. --- Albert, since you're just starting up. Would you consider an open source development? It would likely relief you from a unlikely court-room process as it would become a non-profit development and also allow many other developers along the road to help you and provide additional features and ensure it would be used by other popular projects. I can help with free website/file hosting for large bandwidth usage and provide testing feedback as this project has potential to become very useful for a few Vista related projects such as VistaPE and Driverpacks but it would require team work to see this program grow instead of falling into oblivion within a few months. Wether open/closed source and requiring .NET or not I'll still be happy to help in whatever needed. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Take care. I use Vista with Sp1 this contains the .Net 2.0 with Sp1 and .Net3.0 with Sp1 so the 3.5 is just a little addon and not 200Mb the webinstaller downloads only the small 3.5 part i think this is not a problem.I don't want to learn another Language i don't have the time.If someone have a problem with the beta3 please report and i try to fix it.

Paraglider Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If you have problems installing .NET 3.5 try uninstalling .net 3.0 and 2.0 first. If you have problems uninstalling previous .net frameworks then you may need to use the 'MS Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to force remove the old versions:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-usThe tool has got me out of several uninstall problems in the past.

Nuno Brito Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi paraglider, nice to see you here! My machine doesn't display a option to uninstall .NET so I can't remove the existent files.Thank you for this suggestion.---Albert, the web installer hangs while trying to install .NET - I went to the microsoft site to download the whole package but I'm at home and my web connection is simply too slow/limited to consider large downloads as the package you include doesn't work on my machine.I'm looking for a portable tool capable of working on XP/Vista machines without requiring a .NET framework and I'll use the tool mentioned by sp00f.Good luck with your work.

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 @ParagliderI did uninstall all previous vers of the NF 1 & 2, I have only the 3.5 vers atm. Unfortunately still getting an error following sp1 integration when applying the image?Appears this is only working for a few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've tested it on my Vista 32 Bit and it works. The tool is a bit buggy when ypu try to integrate the Sp1 into the 64Bit version of Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp00f Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 AlbertS2, would you please answer my questions? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 What ver sp1 are you using if you don't mind me asking? I'm using the latest one: Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe.Even if I integrate just one driver it still errors?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzybody Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Very nice. Gotta love how someone on the outside can whip up a program to do what MS claims isn't possible. Now how aboot something that shoehorns SP1 onto a vLite customized install so everyone who has a whole bunch of stuff installed etc won't have to start over from scratch just to get SP1 on their system? Something that slaps it upside the head when it wants to crap out on something missing- make it just ignore it and move on to the next bit.

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Albert is gone? Maybe scared him away with all the Q's?? or was it a Mod?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Brito Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No, I don't think a mod has edited anything because I'm receiving the topic replies on my mailbox.Still believe that an open source project would be the better option on the long run instead of distributing MS copyrighted files..
