Works like a charm on Windows XP SP3, thanks.

When will v1.0.3 be released ?

i have an .iso image prepped with IE7 (and WMP11) if i integrate this addon will it give me a fully working version of IE8 and hopefully not interfere with the contents of the .iso?

it is recomended to start from scratch and not use an already integrated iso. it might work but also it might not......

For me it messes up something with the rights on \Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer as I can't create "Quick Launch" folders in it for any user. I had to create it with a PE. I'm pretty sure it comes from the addon as I retried without it and it was solved. ...But no IE8

The link in the first post no longer works

updated to v1.0.6

hmm any chance for a script or at least instructions so that we can make our addons for our own language?

updated to v1.0.7

for own languages:

- replace the .mui files in IE8.cab with your own

- replace the .chm files in root and inetres.adm with your localized

- copy your localized [strings] sektion to IE.INF

- modify in IE8.inf the following lines:

Copy.IEM.Local = 17,"IEM\0407"

Copy.IE.Local = 16422,"Internet Explorer\de-DE"

Copy.Sys32.Local = 11,"de-DE"

and insert your language..

for example 0409 and en-US

thanks, i'll try it asap

three questions:

1) What do I do when my localized IE8 don't have a IE.INF file?

2) My localized IE8 also didn't have a cabinet (.CAB) file, the .mui files where simple all scattered in the installer folder, does it matter?

2) Copy.IEM.Local = 17,"IEM\0407" where do I find these language codes?

I still have the problem that no "Internet Explorer" folder is created in ...profiles\Application Data\microsoft\ and so also the "ShowDeskFix" that runs from RunOnce has no effect because the folder is missing. I can't have QuickLaunch unless I manually create the \Internet Explorer\QuickLaunch folder myself. I even tried an addon to add QuickLaunch.

Am I the only one in this case ?
