Windows XP x64 Edition Uxthemes Patched

[vorte[x]]

Just wanted to give heads up I finally got thru with looking at AMD64 disassembly and patched up the 64-bit XP uxtheme.dll file(s)! As always, you can grab em from http://www.vortex-scratchpad.info

Really appreciate yr work :beer: but...

ALL

I need the uxtheme patch for my system, but unfortunately I was unable to download it from http://67.20.160.236:8080/repository/?path=Patches/Uxtheme/ as the link posted at http://www.extended64.com/blogs/rafael/arc...egory/1023.aspx

Could somebody plz give me a working link on that file, or maybe just tell me which bytes I should change and for which values, to get a patched file? It would also be fine to know how to correct the file checksums, so that it could be included into my own unattended installation CD and no error would occur while copying this file to its destination dir during install (I guess, modbin utility only works with 32-bit PE files?)

Correction: I've just found out that there are two files to patch (excluding the ones in dllcache folders, cos I guess a normal healthy mind person should have WFP/SFC disabled yet in the distribution source). First of those files is uxtheme.dll for 0x8664h machine architecture, located in \System32, which is the most essential component to patch, it provides theme and style support for generally all 64-bit apps and system components, such as Explorer taskbar, its windows and property sheets, 64-bit control panel applets, etc. This patch I have already achieved by assistanse of nLite distribution tunning software, which's version 1.0 beta 1 supports XP x64 Edition. As about the second file, it's an ordinary 32-bit one for i386 architecture, located in \SysWOW64 and providing style support for 32-bit apps and components running upon Win64 platform; that's the patch I really need, cos I have yet no source to get it. I've found already patched uxtheme.dll for 32-bit Server 2k3 w/SP1 (version 6.0.3790.1830), but its size is about 203k instead of ~215k for the file in the real x64 RTM distribution. Accordingly, only the 64-bit apps and components may use custom styles with the patched 64-bit dll and a "bad" version of the 32-bit one.

That is what I don't need, but I need only a fully working patch, including corrections for all necessary files. Plz gimme a bit of F1
