gosh Posted October 16, 2003 Author Share Posted October 16, 2003 If you double click on a theme or msstyle and it loads as windows classic, the only possible cause would be an unpatched uxtheme.dll, it's not a .theme problem.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0r3d Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yep, stupid me. That was the problem.First time patching the uxtheme.dll, so it sorta slipped my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aKaFrEE Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 so when making a flat, if i have the batch copy the files to c:\i386 instead of c:\source\i386 i should make the registry file say:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]"SourcePath"="%systemroot%\\""ServicePackSourcePath"="%systemroot%\\"and that should work?

climax Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 no problem i got so many helpful things in here so i thought i must post something, too.by the way the code works for installation of hotfixes for example so you haven't to write a line in your batch for every hotfix.mfg climaxps: im sorry for bad english...im german Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Another way to get the source files copied over to the hard drive is to copy your I386 folder to $OEM$\$1So it will be copied over durring the text mode part of setup.This will only work if you are using CDImage.exe to create your ISO image. Just add switch "-o" to your create image batch file.And I added these to my tweaks.reg file to redirect the OS to the new I386 folder:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]"Installation Sources"=hex(7):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,49,00,33,00,38,00,36,00,00,00,\ 00,00"SourcePath"="C:""ServicePackSourcePath"="C:"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]"SourcePath"="C:\\I386" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 gosh if climax'es batch is working update the frontpage as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climax Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 @jazkaldoes it work that when installing windows the i386 will be found in $OEM$\$1 or do you have to copy it on the cd twice?but even if it works i think my way is easier and takes just 1 line in the batch... climax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 On the CD, the I386 folder will be located in two different places:\I386\$OEM$\$1\I386It won't take up any extra space as the "-o" switch merges the two directories. Actually, I noticed a 20mb decrease in overall ISO size the first time I used this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmunir Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 hmmm...jazkal..can u pls explain this: wt will the technique u hv suggested abt pplacin I386 in $oem$\$1\ do. i mean how does it help. does it make things faster??thnksdanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I haven't tested it for time, but it does copy it very quickly.I only put it here to give an alternative. I figured out this method before I read gosh's way. It saved me some space to put more apps on my CD, but you can do that with out the I386 folder anyway, just use the -o switch.If I get some time, I'll run some time tests, don't know when though.
