February 11, 200917 yr Hi all,A strange situation recently developed when creating a custom XP CD. I Nlite as usual, which includes settings, hotfixes and addons. I know certain hotfixes modifies shell32.dll and I know XPize also modifies shell32.dll, thats why I nlite, then xpize and lastly replace shell32.dll with my own customized version in the i386 directory. But lately when I do this (like I always have) my shell32.dll is replaced by an older version, which is impossible but it happens. All I can suspect is that somewhere there is another shell32.dll in the source files that replaces my shell32.dll in the i386 directory for unknown reason during installation of XP. I have (and always do) turned OFF SFC in Nlite.Does anyone have any ideas?Thank you for reading.Jennifer
February 26, 200917 yr Probably one (or few) of hotfixes (KBXXXXXX) replaces this file. I don't have any other ideas.
February 26, 200917 yr Do you cab your modified "SHELL32.DLL" to "SHELL32.DL_" before you copy it into I386?If don`t, do you delete the original "SHELL32.DL_"?
February 28, 200917 yr Author Hi, I also suspect one of the hotfixes, I do cab my shell32.dll with makecab to shell32.dl_ and I deleted the original shell32.dl_.
February 28, 200917 yr We should take a look at your "Last Session.ini", especially at the Addons and Hotfixes.
