[REQUEST] Vista Icon Pack 2.1

[Delprat]

No, makecab.exe.

Files are updated, but I can't repack them!

I saw your other thread. If i were you (sic), i would not use a DDF 'coz it will create a RPT and a LOG. (plus, it's not working )

No need in fact; if you want to reload icons, just use regular VIP installer.

Nooooo ?

Again, take a look at XPize. There's some mysterious thing called "autoreloader" that update hotfixed files unattended on reboot

Indeed but there's no real other solution to achieve the same goals.

Check ICL on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_%28icon_i..._file_format%29

I learnt that ICLs are not PE but NE (older).

Okay, now i know (singing) something that i didn't know five minutes before.

Thank you very much.

But that's not related to what i said... the mess is the PE (or NE) format itself. Well, it works very well for the end-user, but it's original purpose was to make portable executables... and look, ten years after, you need to install whole operating system and to bother helpful people on forums to execute a single PE

Argh, totally forgot about that!

And it's been ready for a while.

I still have to check it is correctly working though. If I forget this again (means did not post the thing within 24 hours) please PM me.

RunWait, MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX /L %SAVEDIR% %A_LoopFileLongPath%, %WORK%, Hide

Should work.

It would take to long for me to do that.

But what I meant was if you need to reload then you should use the regular installer. There's no difference, they do the same thing. There's no point for me to do such a thing.

I think PE is working quite well. It's simply you can't get rid of lib dependancies.

Found a free 64-bit PE Explorer !

XPize !

At last.

Attached. All resources seem to be updated correctly though I see fast no difference if I run iexplore.exe. Probably because I have "regular" files too on my computer. But I have no VM available here so I can't see by myself.

You will see an option to delete bitmaps. It is what VIP does normally and I advise to do it.

Then, there is an IE option too and a WMP too. WMP can only be used if WMP10 is present.

Files are repacked with highest compression available from makecab (LZX, 21).

There is no progress GUI, I will implement that later (should hopefully be faster than the slipstreamer :/ ). Process takes about 3 minutes and if you're not sure, the end is when the CPU usage drops from 100% to 1%.

for myself.

http://rapidshare.de/files/24202487/vip_slipstream.exe.html

Usage : extract the genuine VIP.exe file to any folder, put my file in this folder (near batzap.exe and Process.exe)

You also need to have $COMMONFILES in this folder (it gets extracted with 7z but I don't know what WinRAR would do).

Should I make a full (re)pack ?

Of course, source (Autohotkey script):

SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%

IfNotExist, *.res ;checks needed files are be present
	{
		MsgBox, Didn't I say this application had to be in the same folder as the VIP, near the *.res files ?
		ExitApp
	}
