XPize is a resources transformation pack for Windows. It replaces most of the non-XP icons, avis and bmps that Microsoft has always overlooked. The installer simply automates the process of replacing resources in critical system files, making your XP's look better. XPize is compatible with Windows XP, 2003 and MCE Editions. The installer also comes with an Updater, which you can use after visiting Windows Update.

XPize uAE has been optimized for unattended installations.

Silent switch: /S

Example:

ECHO.

nice update thanks for the hard work and effort youve put into it

Thanks. Only 3mb? Wow so small man. Thanks again.

Thanks XPero

This seems odd. Every download of uAE 1.1 is corrupted.

This seems odd. Every download of uAE 1.1 is corrupted.

I've just downloaded from MSFN and installed sucessfully. Can you provide more info? (where you downloaded it, a screenshot of the error, ...)

Sorry for is possibly a stupid question.

The file i downloaded is called "XPize uAE 1.1.exe" however in your example you wrote

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\XPize\XPize.exe /S

Did you rename it to lose the spaces? or am i mssing something.

Thanks

@oioldman the example was done with 8+3 (DOS) names to prevent the use of quotes. you can just rename the file "XPize uAE 1.1.exe" to "XPize.exe" and that's all

we can't forget we're playing with batch files

these are the 3 possibilities:

if file is named "XPize uAE 1.1.exe"...

ECHO.
ECHO Installing XPize uAE 1.0
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait "%systemdrive%\Install\XPize\XPize uAE 1.1.exe" /S

or...

ECHO.
ECHO Installing XPize uAE 1.0
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\XPize\XPizeu~1.exe /S

if file is named XPize.exe...

ECHO.
ECHO Installing XPize uAE 1.0
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\XPize\XPize.exe /S

i think this was what XPero tried to say

Cheers, I just wanted to make sure before running.

nevermind
