Zayne Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Reverting back to VMWare Workstation 6.0 worked, thanks. On the bad side, even after enabling the Uxtheme option under Patches, I'm still once again stuck with the Win98 look and WinXP along with my Zune theme are nowhere to be found (though everything else seems to work just fine). Yawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Zayne,you need to attach your latest Last Session.ini. Did you correct your hot fix order? See this site for the correct order. Just DL and extract the file and open it with notepad. Please notice that the updates are listed top to bottom in reverse order. Enjoy, John.

Zayne Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Yes, I sorted every update and hotfix, top to bottom from earliest to latest. So they need to be in order from latest to earliest, top to bottom?Here is my Last Session:Last_Session.ini Edited February 25, 2009 by Zayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara- Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Remove this and problem will be solved.D:\KB\DotNetFx_All_In_1_Addon_v2.4.7zIf you want to install NetFramework it's recommended that you do that via RunOnce because it's known that installing via svcpack can cause problems.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Zayne, you have it correct in your Last Session. Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded this - DotNetFx_All_In_1_Addon_v2.4.7z - from somewhere that said it would install perfectly in nLite if it was added to the hotfix page. Would it work if I added the same file to the RunOnce you mentioned and all the Themes would be there?Cheers!

johnhc Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Zayne, I just discovered by reading the help (? in circle) on the nLite Hot Fix page, that nLite will oder your hot fixes for you. That addon is designed to be integrated and will not work in the RunOnce exit but you could run the installer from the RunOnce exit. DL the installer from MS DL center and use the /Passive /NoRestart switches to keep it from asking you questions and restarting your computer. I really have no idea if removing this addon will fix your problems but I have my doubts. Where do you stand now? Are themes still missing? If so attach one (if not too large) so we can take a look. Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Yes, I don't know what's up. I enabled the Uxtheme option under the Patches tab and put every single update and hotfix in order, but I tried the new ISO I made last night in VMWare and the Themes are still missing, I mean all the themes are missing except Win98 Classic. Also, what's wrong with that all in one .NET addon? Something wrong with it I need to know about?Cheers. Edited February 26, 2009 by Zayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 @ZayneThe themes you`re including are fully functional on your running system (from where they are taken)?Is the service "Designs" running in your Testinstall?BTW: Your .NET-Addon is taken from HERE.

But including missing that, even the default Windows XP Theme (normally Blue upon first boot) is missing as well, and in Display options, the only selectable theme that is shown Windows Classic, which is on on first boot.

johnhc Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Zayne, please look in your C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes folder on your installed system and post a screen shot of a Windows Explorer view of it. Also, please post you latest Last Session.ini. I suggest you begin some experiments to narrow the problem down. First, perhaps, remove all your hot fixes and addons, build an ISO and install (I hope you are using a virtual system - perfect for this). Let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John.

Zayne Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Will do, I'll attach another Last Session.ini and a screenshot of my themes folder (although I think the last .ini I posted was the latest one). Stay close by because it should only take me a couple minutes to go through it all).Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhc Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Zayne, this tells us that your themes are getting to your installed Windows. As I understand it, when you right click your desktop and click Appearances that your themes are not there - true? Go into the Themes folder on your installed system and find one of your themes, that does not show up, and double click the .msstyles file. See if your theme will become active after you click Apply on the window that pops up. Next is to run the experiment I suggested. Best, John.
