DaveXP Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 which version of Windows are you doing this on Pro or HomeTake the WINNTBBU.DLL and place it in the i386 then double click the Setup.exe in the root folder were you placed your Windows Files and click Install and see it that works to show you your setup screen.

MaLi Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 XP Pro with Sp1 slipstreamedrunning an unattended install, multi version per Gosh's instructionsIn "Gosh XP" you don't have setup.exe...but I took a winntbbu into my old setup and no images there either...Do you need both the packed one (.dl_) as well as the unpacked (.dll) !?Some odd sh-t that is...Put both files .dll .dl_ in the old setup, run Setup.exe and it works just fine.Try the same thing on Gosh's version in WMWare.... no-nothing.

MaLi Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Got it ! Had to change Bitmap 153 as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Using "gosh xp" you won't have winnt.exe or winnt32.exe. You can copy the setup.exe from the cd to the root of your local source, if you want to use the xp setup program (you can use it for everything but installing xp).-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoult01 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I've been making a install screen to match my complete redhat conversion of xp, and this is where its atLINKThe only problem is the white text, is it possible to have the text as black? I've looked through the string table and I cant find anything where 255,255,255 is written. Any help will be appreciated? Also perhaps the green bar that comes up for the progress, a nice blue for that would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I asked a while ago, nobody knew. I fixed it by adding a black layer directly above my layer (in your case it would be the white part). Then lowering the opacity to about 20%. It will turn it to a sort of grey so you can see the text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckotek Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Is there a place where I can look at the setup pages so that I can compare the string tables and see where each one is placed? I'd like to know exactly what I'm editing, but seem to be a but lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve02a Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I386\SYSTEM32\SMSSI386\WINNTBBA.DLLI386\WINNTBBU.DLLI386\WINNT32U.DLLI386\USETUP.EXEthat all i found so far. :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:it seems the:I386/system32/smss & I386/usetup.exe are the same file (when I look at them w/reshacker)..they have the same bitmaps.So, I have the bitmap I wanna use..do I change it in both files or just one?

steve02a Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Ok , well I've partially figured it out .....Large pic hereThe file I hacked was I386/WINNTBBU.DLL ( I use resource Hacker )-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The main background is bitmap 103 ( 256 colours )Bitmaps 100 , 101 , 102 are for the logo in the top left. Dunno why there are 3 - different resolutions maybe ?Bitmaps 185 to 188 are for the flashing activity glyphs in the bottom right.Bitmaps 104 , 105 , 109 are for the Status buttons on the left.You can change the text that is displayed by editing the String Table entries.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Once you're done editing you need to recompress the dll to winntbbu.dl_ to do this , open a cmd prompt in the I386 folder and type: "makecab winntbbu.dll" it'll create the winntbbu.dl_ for ya.Thats all I've figured out at the moment , have fun Got a broken link there now..but anyhow...what you described is right. Everything is right there - just make sure ya edit the right bitmaps or you'll have a strange looking setup. Be sure to back up your I386/WINNTBBU.DLL first in case ya jack it all up....Which is what I'm about to go attempt......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve02a Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'd like to know more about the String table...how to change the font, colours and font size - like in String Table 1-1033...what are all those #'s for? Same for 2-1033.Who wants to help me out here..or point me in a direction that will give me all the information and then some on the winntbbu.dll file......... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 how can i make the top left corner logo that says windows xp,, how can i make that transparent so it dosnt have the black back ground and it can look good with any back ground i choose ? and if this isnt possible,, is it possible to just remove the logo all together,,,, if i removed it, would that hurt the functioning of that set up screen ?let me know what ya think..
