A thread with some common answers.

[Tsunami]

@Alanoll,

Please don't take what I am going to say the wrong way, as I value your contributions to the board, and your wonderful attempts to keep some order. You have also helped me a lot with many of your great posts.

However, I think you need to relax sometimes regarding what may seem to you as redundant posts. Pezzie's post was quite helpful to quite a few people, I am sure, simply because the "Search" function at MSFN, in my opinion, leaves a lot to be desired, despite all the pearls of wisdom hidden within.

The problem is that when you do a "Search" for something, and you are searching beyond just the title of the posts (which is more often than not quite necessary to get any results), you get some results with posts with hundreds of replies, and you have to wade through these pages and pages of replies just in the hopes you find the exact page with the reply you needed. It is extremely time consuming.

So, if Pezzie found that to be case, I am sure those trying to find the same info in the future will be grateful for his time-saving post, as they would otherwise also have to wade through the baloney to get to the important, hidden, msfn filet-mignons...!

If you take some time to learn how to use the search, you can do everything you just said. Just take a look at the Refine Search section of the search. There you can select if you want to search in titles or in posts, and you can show the results in posts. That way, you don't have to wade through the whole thread, but you get the post you need right away.

[Pezzie]

Astalavista - looking really good. Do you still need my files ?

@Alanoll: Sorry to p*** you off.

But plz relax and see this thread as a help to someone instead of getting all work up over a simple thing.

I not quite sure of what you complain about - that i didn't do it your way ( and posted in your thread ) or that i started a thread concerning some problems that you have plans on doing a guide later. Is it the credit or what man - really dont get it !

You keep complaining about no one using the search function - here is just wanted to start a thread with some common or not so common problems which ppl have been dealing with during their work with making their CD. Both to help ppl or to get inspiration from.

But hey - like a said earlier - delete the post if you are unhappy.

You already changed the title - right ?

Pezzie ( out ? )

[Alanoll]

I meant to change it to "common answers" instead of problems. More positive.

You didn't p*** me off, and it's not the credit. Let the thread continue.

I'm sorry. Just disregard my post. Let the thread continue, and we'll see where it goes.

@Tsunami

FINALLY!! Someone who knows how to use the search!

[willpantin]

@Alanoll and @Tsunami,

I am extremely familiar with how to refine searches, and know how to search as well as any of you. But quite often the information one needs is found in an unrelated thread, where the title of the post has nothing to do with the information you seek. This is most apparent when wading through application switches or registry tweaks.

You guys did not read my post carefully. I thought I had made it clear I knew how to refine searches by limiting to Titles of posts when I said:

I have a solution to a problem that has been driving me crazy.

The newest nlite 99.4 b2 combines both media player 6.4 and the new wmplayer 9 for removal.

This causes a problem if your like me and like the summary info for video files. Avi, mpegs etc And don't use any of the win media players. I usa media player classic.

I always thought that wmp 9 had to be installed in order to see the summary. Then when nlite seperated 9 and 6.4 I found out it was 6.4 that added the summary. Now the nlite put them back together I found out its neither of them. Its already there but its not turned on.

The summary for video files does not relie on any of the win media crap. Its 1 file that can restore the summary if you remove both media players. That file is unregmp2.exe. This is of course removed with the media players in nlite but it is designed to allow you access to the summary without using any player. So nuhi needs to fix that and add it back to the install.

Anyway I now add that to my install and when I reinstall I have the summary fix.

That's it

[Astalavista]

ok.... how did u change the background? I can't find it .

[Pezzie]

When you say background ? you mean what and where.

[Pezzie]

I have made a special edition of the WPI installer.

Only limitation is the you can just install 24 programs.

Its dedicated to those who lost their lives in 9-11.

Hope it can be of some help to someone.

Find it here ( English download )

Only for a limited period.

[Astalavista]

24 is not enough for me. i m targeting around 40 programs

I download the 2.98a so many bugs my reg key dont get registered..

I'm sorry, I read your post wrong I thought it said that you're always searching beyond the title of the topic. Yes, you're right that you not always get what you want, but that has little to do with the search, but with people who post it.

I don't think nuhi should leave the unregmp2.exe file out of the removal process, since it's a file that belongs to WMP. If you want it to stay, just put the filename in the Keep Files box, and you're done.

nice and great job.but exit installer function is missing.which is very importent i think.

remaining things r nice.keep it up

[Pezzie]

Astalavista - this is made in a speciel way - thats wht it only holds 24 programs.

You'll find 48 post in the files - but half is "disable" due to the layout of the WPI.

Bmm - hmm I dont miss the Exit installer - what resolution are you screen in - mine is 1024*768.

This is what it looks like at my screen.

pezzie

[bmn]

mine 800*600.

what and where i have to change. and how to change colour of the words.have a look at this pic i marked it.

[Pezzie]

Too change the text color you need to change the wpi.css in the "common" dir.

Open it in notepad and scroll down.

Look for these sections:

.txt

.main

.side

In those section you'll find a post called color.

Just edit this value ( e.g. for black write: #000000 ) and the tekst will change color.

@Bmm: Do you still miss the Exit installer ?
