Spin Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi,A while back I found out how to use simpler installation screens without the microsoft "selling the product" text usually found during installation. I think it was like the windows 2000 setup screens.This worked fine. But I would like to set it back to the normal screens so I can use a customised XP setup screens that the users of this forum are making!Problem is I've completely forgotten how to go about doing this. I've had a good look but with no luck.Any ideas?ThanksSpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 copy the winntbbu.dll & winntbbu.dll_ (they should both be there i think) from your original xp cd onto your source, i think thats all u need, if that dont work, just copy the source & redo it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 why don't you take a look atgroups.yahoo.com/winntbbuwe have what you needI'm already a member! I tried it with one of cykasms screens but no luck.I think I remember a setting somewhere to enable the old windows 2000 style install screens. I just cant find it again anywhere to turn if off...copy the winntbbu.dll & winntbbu.dll_ (they should both be there i think) from your original xp cd onto your source, i think thats all u need, if that dont work, just copy the source & redo itI hope I dont have to redo it all just for a customised setup screen!Here is my current setup screen.

Tsunami Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I know what you mean, there's a setting somewhere that enables 2k-like setup screens, but I too have forgotten where that setting was (I thought it was in winnt.sif, but I can't find it in ref.chm).

Spin Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Yeah I cant find anything in my winnt.sif related to it.I've also had a thorough look at ref.chm but cant find any mention of it. Where else is the setting likely to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Krueger Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hello,I have a related problem. I wanted to replace my GUI-Setup-Screen following the "dummy-guide" of this forum. But when I test my unattended WinXP Prof. CD +SP2 in VmWare 4.5.2 I don't see any GUI-Setup at all, only a textbased one (see attached file). The same thing happens with the original WINNTBBU.DLL file (and non-unattened mode).What's going on here? I'm going crazy about this... please help!Thanks, Amanda K.

gamehead200 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Text-based setup is only present when you boot from the CD... It will ask you to partition your drive and ask you where you want to install Windows... However, if you're doing everything unattended, then it shouldn't ask you and just do everything automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Krueger Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 @ Glent: you were of course absolutely right... *shame on my impatience*The GUI-Setup-Screen appears after the first reboot, like it is supposed to do. :-DNevertheless thanks for your help.
