XPero Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) Before we start:- This guide has been made with Windows XP users in mind. This guide also can be applied for Windows 2003 and MCE users. - This guide explains my way of making an XPized Windows CD. Of course all steps explained here are not obligatory.Tools needed:- XPize- nLite- RyanVM Update Pack- VMWare Workstation (Optional: testing purposes)or- MS Virtual PC (Optional: testing purposes)- Your genuine Windows CDLet's start:1) Make a new folder and copy the contents of your genuine Windows CD on your hard drive (example: C:\WINCD\)2) Run nLite and make sure you select "Integrate Hotfixes".3) Select RyanVM Pack and then XPize as hotfixes for integration.4) It is recommended that you DISABLE SFC.5) Let nLite do all the job for you.6) Test your ISO on VMWare or Virtual PC before burning it to CD (optional, but strongly recommended).F.A.Q:Q: How can I get XPize extras using this method?A: Install XPize normally in your machine before making your XPized CD and take all you need. The logon is in C:\WINDOWS\System32\XPize_Logon.exe and themes are in their normal locations (C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes), the rest can be found in C\WINDOWS\XPize (hidden by default). However, if you like extras, it is better to install normal XPize after Windows has been set up.Q: Do I need the uxtheme patch?A: If you want support for third party themes, apply the patch using nLite or whatever method you use. XPize won't do that for you using this method. Edited September 10, 2005 by XPero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaletik Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 But how can I get the regkeys that xpize creates? For the Dosbox color, i mean. And can I get out the cpl file for Adobe Gamma? And are there other cpl files that XPpize changes? Please help. BTW, I tested this two hours ago and this is awesome!!! I will definitely use it.

Just Install XPize normally in your machine and take all you need: WinRAR, Adobe Gamma (found in their respectives locations), CMD mod called "XPize Command.reg" (found in C:\Windows\XPize), etc...then use them in your recently installed system.

nam265 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hi Xpero,Your creationo are excellent, i used it and it totally satisfied meThanks for bringing this to usoh btw, i have an idea for you. Before i use Xpize, Longhorn Transformation pack9 had take place for all my icons, such as My computer, Hardrive, My documents etc. I think they are pretty nice if you could also changed XP icon into Longhorn style, (I only taking about Icons that are in Explorer.exe and Shell32.dll) so Ya, if you think you want to give it a try, I could provide you my current (Explorer.exe and Shell32.dll) for preferenceBut it alright if you dont like it... It just something i think it would make it look betterThanks again for bringing us Xpize v3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 @nam265a Longhornize maybe? It's a good idea, but it is something that is already done. Thanks for the comments btw.XPero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiwas Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'll have a look at it However, the patch method didn't work for me at all. After the unattended install I get the normal windows look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaletik Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 What do you mean with Windows look? Because the theme will not be integrated with the i386 method. You have to pick the theme out of your current windows. On my computer, everything works. (XPize graphics, Royal Theme, WinRar theme) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrcoXP Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 7) Start nLite again and use it normally. Make sure you disable SFC protection Then make the ISOIs it possible to disable SFC only for certain files?Disabling SFc is not an option for me.
