cluberti Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 i manually installed NFM's Pre-SP2 pack for x64 (how do i know if SP1 is installed?)All x64 versions of Windows (XP and 2003) have SP1 built-in. If you've got an x64 version of Windows, you've got the SP1 bits.As to the error, have you tried your Winnt.sif file without any of the program files options? Does setup work properly then?

selyb Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 i did try and i still got the same erroralso, i stripped the file down to some bear necessities (attached) and used it for regular winxp pro and STILL got the same errorwinnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ok, so it seems fairly obvious that the problem isn't with your .sif file, but with file(s) on the disc itself. Roll back to using a default, non-modified XP x64 source, and if it installs, add the NFM updates and try again. If that works, recab one file at a time until it all works, or it fails. Whenever it does fail, you'll know where the problem lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfm Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Did you try running:%SystemRoot%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separatein XP x64? This will load 32-bit version of explorer. I found it usefull because that's the only way to rename files using advanced tab on XP x64. I use it to rename .mp3 files and other.I include shortcut to 32-bit version of explorer in Addons Pack. Look at the screenie Linkbtw, there should be no problems with my pack, I heavily test anything that I release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
