CuBie Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 This will update your Windows XP with Longhorn M5 GUI by adding some themes and patch system files.A new refresh of the 4.0 version Longhorn Transformation Pack is now available. This time WindowsX has done it again with "real" complete by solved previous bugs, tuneup installing and minor changes about new wallpaper and more.Changes in Version 4.0 Refresh Added Aero Enmeshed wallpaper Added Setup CD path line in dialog to notify user to eject CD in that drive or move that folder to somewhere else Fixed Boot Screen deselected installing problem (Cannot find ntoskrnl.exe) Fixed license and readme spelling and grammer Keep Longhorn Screensaver while uninstalling Minor fixes for Longhorn Keynote PDC theme in Longhorn Aero This time I will tell you guys about extracting only files. You can do it by add /x after command line e.g. "Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0 Refresh.exe /x" Updated processing operation script (More stable and reliable)Source: http://www.soft32.com/download_3720.htmlBtw - this was the first result on google, when i searched for 'Longhorn Transformation pack 4.0', maybe if you try searching next time you might get a quicker answer!Edit: Getting an answer in 15 mins aint bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patters Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'd caution against installing this. It doesn't seem to have an uninstall and switching to a different theme doesn't completely undo the changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datalore Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 If you're doing it at school, just be on the safe side and use a theme instead. No system files will get changed and it pretty much looks the same. Transformation packs are good for XP -> OS X, but I don't think that much has changed between XP and Longhorn to warrant a system-files change.If you want a Longhorn theme, check out ThemeXP.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datalore Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Ah, ok. I just saw the word school and assumed you meant the school computers There's a bunch on StyleXP, search for either Plex or Slate or Aero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawks5999 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 hopefully my experience won't be the same as yours....Installed, rebooted, and..... doh! try to reboot again.... dang, how about safe mode.... hmmmm? last known good?.... nope, let's see now.... start normally, nope.... all i get is the white progress bar before the boot/logo screen and then nothing...Oh, well, I was due for an OS reinstall anyway.

black_mantra Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I installed this successfully but nothing changed except for those longhorn wallpapers and I think this is the reason why my xp became unstable..deleting/renaming/right clicking on folders takes almost almost 2 minutes before my pc responds If anyone knows how ro remove/uninstall this sh*t then pls post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
