Problem between: Resource Hacker/Icon Packs & MUI

[moataz]

When i modify/replace Windows XP SP3 RTM files with Resource Hacker, then apply Arabic User Interface... some strings and dialog boxes still in English.

But this doesn't happen if i leave the files without Resource Hacking.

Any reply are welcomed?

This topic also exist here.

it depends what resources you change man.

only icons and stuff, should work just good, but if you try to change dialogs and strings, then you are in trouble

so, what do you change?

changing strings will not effect,

I read that any modifying of Original XP files will change the checksum value (digital signature) of these files, so the MUI resource loader won't load the MUI'ed files without the Original checksum.

Please if u have a time, try with your Dutch UI.

thats what they call modifype man

it will "fix" the checksum, maybe you should try that.

just google for it, "modifype"

The Arabic user interface is stored in .mui files. So to reshack dialogs, you will need to modify the associated .mui file.
