RogueSpear Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 It's been done before<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well I wasn't aware it had been done before and honestly, I never would have even though to look it up or ask. Sometimes a little repitition about an obscure topic isn't that bad. Thanks for the tip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBarras Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 My pleasure... I actually did look up Manufacturer Link and couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstorm Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I beleive that you can also do this using the OEM Preinstallation Kit, as well as a number of other little tweaks and hacks that are normally reserved for OEMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I tested this out some time ago and this CLSID is the only place it'll work. So if there is already an OEM link present (say if you have a factory PC/LT) you have to replace it but not add another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBarras Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes, it'll only work with this CLSID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
