X1pheR Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 This looks like an excellent program!!! only I can't use it I installed it along with VB6 runtime (SP6 something) and also MODIFYPE.EXE in System32 in case it was needed.Only thing is that when I open a random WINNTBBU.DL_ from the other topic where every posts them it can't open.I get an error window with title "Loading aborted" and the message "Expanding the File ... has failed. Can't continue!".So I tried opening the original file from the CD and this one does open. Only when I edit it and attempt to save it, it won't save. It doesn't give an error only when I look at the location where it was supposed to be saved there will be no file what so ever.What is wrong? Can anyone help? Tried this on 2 machines, Win XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SP1.
X1pheR Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Anyone who can tell me how I can open/edit/make billboard setups with this program?

mazin Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 1- Extract WINNTBBU.DLL from WINNTBBU.DL_. A simple way is to rename WINNTBBU.DL_ to WINNTBBU.cab, then use WinZip to extract WINNTBBU.DLL from WINNTBBU.cab.2- Use ResourceHacker (or whatever) to change graphics/text in WINNTBBU.DLL.3- Use WinntbbuED to view/review your work and to change text colors to your liking.4- Use MODIFYPE.EXE to check your new WINNTBBU.DLL.5- Re-cab your final WINNTBBU.DLL to WINNTBBU.DL_ again.HTH
Kiki Burgh Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 hi! i tried this very recently ... i felt great to be able to change setup screens however, 2 things i noticed: (1) Billboards don't show when XPize is slipstreamed; (2) "Finalizing Installation" is not in Bold like the others ... here are some inquiries: (1) would the font for "Setup will complete in approximately: xx minutes" be changeable too? would it's text depend on syssetup.dll for it to be ready for editing? ... (2) i didn't change the resolution of the bitmap i used ... & it seemed to work ... do still i need to change it to lower resolution (640x480 or 800x600)? ... lastly i just need to confirm: after processing the file(s) with this nice little app, i just have to replace the i386 files with these, right (uncompressed winntbbu.dll & compressed syssetup.dl_)? thanks!
Kiki Burgh Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 hi! is TheMadGuy still active in this forum? just asking ...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 No, my pics resolution is 1024x768 and it shows fine.Yes just copy the files to your source AFTER XPize'ing.Nope haven't seen him forever!!!
Kiki Burgh Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 ey Kel! thanks for the confirmation ... already found out the ans to my Qs due to experiments (as sadly i had to create my build earlier than any reply could be posted ) ... no harm though ... perhaps, interest on this side of the forum has waned a little ... ... posted a resolution to my similar inquiry here ... a sample of what i did here ... thanks again Kel!
