How To Replace The Luna Theme

[ahmedramzi]

I have recently tried the "Longhorn M5 Transformation Pack v3" and it was the best theme that I've ever seen.

the question is how to add it to my unattended installation and make it the default theme?

P.S: the "Longhorn M5 Transformation Pack" is an exe file, not a .theme one

first you need to get the .theme file from the exe file extract it.

and then you can think about replacing the Luna Theme.

and this hould be in the Unattended CD Section by the way

Just use a batch file to run the exe, and call the batch file from your winnt.sif file. Like this:

In your winnt.sif file add:

[GUIRUNONCE]

%systemdrive%\Install\Theme.cmd

In your theme.cmd add:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Longhorn Transformation Pack.exe

To make it install silently, you need to have the correct switches, which depends on what installer the pack uses. If you could post that information for us, i could be a little more helpful.

I'd rather recommend that you download the file yourself as there are things more than knowing the type of the installer. for example, the windows file protection will be prompted during the setup process..

here's the Download page

take your time guys, I beleive that you'll figure out something in the end..

and you should try this themepack anyway, it's marvellous

If you replace your uxtheme, then you shouldnt be prompted

[ahmedramzi]

no, I've replaced my uxtheme with the patched ones, but the WFP still prompts me!

the installation wizard itself says that this will happen and i should press cancel.
