How do I change the font in "setup will complete in :" in one font and XX in another font and minutes in another font? John

Disassemble setup.exe, modify code & recompile.

- OR -

Write a program that will subclass WM_PAINT & WM_REFRESH mesages in the setup application and run it with DetachedProgram= in winnt.sif.

Hmmm... Are you saying that you are really planning to do that ?

Is it of ANY use ? (did you knew that someone walked on the Moon AGES ago ????)

Well... go there :

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/70/

In the left menu, the page you'll see is located under :

Advanced Users

> Cosmetics

> Setup Billboard

> New Style Setup Billboards

> Text

That's the "state of art" about setup billboard customisation... And, of course, there's only ONE font, not TWO...

[RBCC]

where do I put references to these fonts so my billboards will show them?

in hivesft? where in hivesft? Also where in my build disk do I put these fonts? in the $$/fonts folder? or cab them and put them in the i386 folder?

You'll need to cab your fonts in the i386 folder, add a line in txtsetup.sif et al. to make the font copied during textmode (easy to do with nlite or hfslip).

Then you'll need to update the registry to make GUI-mode setup "see" the font in the file "<X>:\I386\HIVESFT.INF" (or HIVESFT.IN_) wich contains the HKLM\SOFTWARE registry branch (in text)

(to know what to add : google for regshot, launch it, take the 1st snapshot, install your font, take the 2nd snapshot and "translate" the result into the INF form)

Finally, reshack the file as said on the unattended guide.

Lots of work

[RBCC]

delprat: Does translate=compare? Also how much of the comparison do I use?

[Delprat]

Look for tha batch i've posted into the HFSLIP forum, it should make the .INF file for you.

but then you'll need to run HFSLIP (or add the files by hand)

PS: no, translate was meaning "convert" (from the RegShot format to another one windows understands)... sorry for my bad english

I tried to use fontslip. After downloading fontinst.exe, I put it into the HFTools directories. then I put Fontslip.cmd in the HFSLIP folder. After that I put all my fonts in the TXTMFONT. But all these are on the 'H:' drive what do I edit in order to make me able to slipstream my fonts? John
