Custom theme won't work (sometimes)

[oviradoi]

Here is what happenes to me:

I have made an unattended XP CD. I have patched the uxtheme.dll file so it'll work with ALL themes.

I want to use a custom themes file, so I modified in winnt.sif the "CustomDefaultThemeFile" key.

When XP is running graphics-mode setup, I made it run a program that asks the user to enter the user name, computer name and workgroup. If the user does not enter them, it uses "User" and "Workgroup". After XP finishes installing, I use the RunOnceEx method to install some apps. I have made it check if the user has entered a name in graphics-mode setup. If he has, it continues and uses that user name. If he doesn't it asks the user and program name at the end of RunOnceEx.

So here's the problem:

If the user enters a name in graphics-mode setup, the custom theme is used

If the user does NOT enter a name, and the program runs at the end of RunOnceEx, the system uses the Windows Classic theme.

Does anyone know why?

Some help would be useful...

I have a similar problem. I noticed that when the user who logs is member of the administrator group, the custom theme applyes well, but if the user is memeber of the user gruop ihe gets the classic windows theme.
