And now I should reply to some old and some new posts (sorry for the delay)

@ gusdi12

1. Tweaks > Start Menu, there is a typo in the first drop down box. 'Defualt' instead of 'Default'

Thanks for reporting. It will be fixed in the next release.

@ crunch81 Icon

As well as in Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit UAC will not be disabled when OS is installed.

Is that a know bug in the program or am I doing something wrong?

UAC is working fine. It has been tested already.

@beatmaster

Hello Blue,

a little bug I have found in the ISO creation.

A user told me that no ISO file was created, although gave no error 7customizer,

in the log you could read the following:

Quote

Creating ISO file: H:\Downloads\TEMP\Genticus Win7 x64.iso

Finished creating ISO file

Done. Exiting 7Customizer

Nevertheless, the ISO file was not present at the location.

The error was due to the spaces in the name of the ISo file. Without these spaces, the ISO has been properly produced.

Can you still fix it in a future version?

I will test this and report back.

@Adadu

The problem you had was due to using a modified installation source. This will be fixed in the coming releases.

@Wolverine1977

Is Windows 7 Enterprise supported for customization

For the time being No. If I could get an enterprise version I might support it.

@ascatem

Hi!

I've made an Italian guide to 7Customizer on hwupgrade.it - Link

I hope you enjoy my work

Could you make a new post with the link so I can link to it?

@seahotred2

hi every one

i managed to integrate some themes to my windows 7 installation (downloaded from http://windows.micro...ize?T1=themes). her is the way it have been done

1- extract themepack file using 7z

will have a theme file and DesktopBackground folder and maybe some wav and png files

2- rename DesktopBackground folder to some thing close to the theme file

example: Bing's Best theme the file Bing's Be.theme folder renamed to Bing

3- edit theme file with Notepad then find all "DesktopBackground" and replace with "%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\bing"

and then find and delete the line that starts with ImagesRootPIDL under [slideshow] (it will be very longe it may take 2 to 3 lines)

4- save and copy both file and folder to %systemroot%\Resources\Themes or to mountdir\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

i hope it is not an old method, but i just know it and i wanted to share it and maybe it will help blue creating theme integrating support for 7C.

What I made is simmiliar to your method. However, I put the themes in the default user profile. So everytime you create a user, he will have all the themes.

Thanks for sharing.

@ grabben

Hm maybe i should actually post the link to the guide aswell ?

@Bazzek

As a response to my own problem.

I was using a Windows 7 Enterprise DVD, apparently there is a difference between that one and our technet Windows 7 Ultimate DVD as the latter actually worked.

If i can assist blue4603 in figuring out why Enterprise DOESN'T work and Ultimate DOES, please let me know

For now i would say that 7Customizer (and all other tools like 7Liite, WinIntegrator, Se7en_UA that i tested) is not working with the Enterprise DVD.

Thanks for conforming. I will need a Windows 7 enterprise installation source to implement support for enterprise edition

but I do not have it.

@ bakkerbe

Stupid question maybe, but why can't I choose a Belgian keyboard layout in the unattend part this tool?

Hmmm. I will find out and fix it. Thanks for reporting.

Again, sorry guys for the delay.

Is that the whole log file ?

Dont seem to be. Any errormessage ?

[pedilover]

Yes, that's the whole log-file.

But it seems, that I have found a solution:

when I copy the folder with the Updates on C: everything is o.k. !

But when I want it to fetch it from my USB-Stick from G:

the Proggie show no reaction.

That did not happen with the earlier version 0.4.0a

Now ive taken a look at the iso, 2 integrates fine but the other two does not integrate at all.

I downloaded 7 Ultimate pack. The working are "7.themepack" & "7Bliss.themepack".

Noneworking are: "7Black.themepack" & "7Ultimate.themepack".

Yes, that's the whole log-file.

Weird, ran as administrator ?

[hclarkjr]

one service that is missing under tweaks is to set system restore. i always turn it off on my systems and would like that option with this.

[mrookie]

What I meant is a new post in the MSFN forum that contains your link. You can see some guides in the first post. You could do the same so I can link to your guide. Thank you.

It is planned for this release. It is mentioned in the first post.

edit: is it possible to you in the future to host the 7customizer archive in some websites like megaupload, mediafire, ecc? thanks

No. Please do not share 7Customizer. I do not want to publicly distribute it until I finish 7Customizer functions.

Thank you.
