Patched uxtheme.dll in windows setup?

[Tom_B]

I've tried a couple of things both with different results. First thing I tried was taking a patched uxtheme.dll and converting it to a cab using makecab uxtheme.dll then putting it into I386. However, this causes an error which stops windows even getting to the GUI part of the install. Probably due to a size or hash check of the file.

Secondly I tried putting the patched uxtheme.dll into $OEM$\$$\system32\ and while it seems to copy across alright it doesnt actually work.

The only way it works is running the patcher. However copying across a patched uxtheme.dll without running the patcher it does not work. The patcher must do more than patch the file.

How can I integrate the uxtheme.dll into the setup? I dont really want to run the patcher... seems kinda pointless if all it does is patch the file.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Newer tried this theory (I´m an nLite´r) but think it works.

Copy your working uxtheme.dll, then

Next, ModifyPE your uxtheme.dll

Next, at the command prompt, type in this command.

"makecab uxtheme.dll", It will become uxtheme.dl_

Last, replace your uxtheme.dl_ in your unattended CD/DVD.
