Yes, but once again it (the new hotfix) disables runonceex (at least for me).

Yeah, I've seen it exactly as described. I don't know if it really is working, but I'd guess not.

Thanks, Ryan, I hope you never wear out!!

techtype

nLite's integration of IE7 is even a little better than "flawless" since it fixes the Microsoft bug mentioned above where runonceex is disabled!

techtype

Nice post, ViVa. Well done and handy too!!

techtype

I just use nLite to integrate IE7... Err, cough, choke, me too. The latest version of nLite finally passes all my requirements (it has to produce a result that conforms to Microsoft standards). As a bonus, nLite does not disable runonceex when integrating IE7. I still use RyanVM Integrator for almo...

Thanks, this is great! May I suggest that you add the ability to choose the directory that will be extracted to. Also, I have a little trouble choosing the file name for the SFX. It would be nice if you could type in the file name and then pick the directory where it will be created (and maybe remem...

but it seems that i have a problem after integrating it in my cd all of my runoceex entries have been ignored, strange,,, :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Yes, I am seeing this too.

techtype

You can edit the registry with a BartPE disk. Just be sure to do a "runscanner" first so that you are editing the registry on the hard drive. Google "runscanner" for more.

I believe that he is adding support during Windows setup for using a USB floppy by pressing F6 to add SATA or SCSI drivers.

Edit: Oh yeah, I see what you mean, it has to already see the floppy. This would not be an addon -- duh!

Could anybody make this into an addon?

They had a major highly embarrassing issue with it. A couple of very large VLK customers suddenly started getting the not-genuine message on almost all their computers. It was a huge mess to fix and during the upheaval, WGA notifications was removed from Microsoft Update for obvious reasons. I do no...

If only that were true what a wonderful world it would be!

Anyway, it might also be caused by your antivirus, anti-trojan or anti-spyware program -- worth a try to disable those when making your CD.

I'm wondering if it's the uxtheme.dll that is in the RVMUpdatePack2.1.2 ... My last test went like this : Copy XP Pro Corp with SP2 to working dir. nLite that dir applying various nLite'ish changes, including the uxthemes patch. Apply Bashrat driverpacks (all) Run RVMIntegrator 1.4.1, and apply ONL...

Bazza wrote: The most recent build/install includes JUST Updatepack v2.1.0, no addons & no nLite, yet both problems still persist.

If you really did just the Updatepack using just the Integrator, then you have a corrupted pack or corrupted source.

I did not see any size difference.

OK, it's a combination of their mis-statement of fact and your reading of it (in my opinion). Here is their mis-statement: If the software was pirated it triggered a series of irritating warnings. Now Microsoft has reacted to user anger by switching off the boot-up check. I can guarantee that it's n...

Read it carefully. It's a combination of old news (turning off the dailly check) and speculation.

techtype

Thanks!! Speedy too!

This won't work for everyone depending on their needs, but it fixes the network based delay: Instead of using mapped drives, create "Network Places" that point to the same location. For many purposes these work just as well and eliminate the delay in Explorer when VPNed or working on a large or slow...

Well, nuhi reads this forum and it's not nice to hurt his feelings. Maybe, you could just say that it gave you problems or something. I'm not an nLite user either, by the way.

Well, the latest version of WGA Notifications trashed my wife's machine again. I had hoped the problem was gone after I got the previous version working. Had to image her machine back to right before the WGA Notifications install to fix this one. Now, I'm going to avoid WGA Notifications completely ...

techtype

WGA Notifications already checks Office but does not do anything yet if it fails. You can see what it thinks the validity of your Office is by running WGAdiagnostics. Look for the Office return code -- only "100" means genuine.

techtype

Here is a wild idea out of the blue:

add the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service to your install.

Yes, adding the entry fixes it.

By the way, the problem with my wife's computer (described above) turned out to be a permissions issue, but not the ones suggested by Microsoft. I reset all the permissions to the defaults (even though they had never been messed with). Then WGA Notifivations would install properly. Microsoft was no ...

I always considered complaints about WGA as just a "Pirate's Lament". However, I've had an experince with WGA notifications that causes me a lot of grief.

OK, after going through everything, it's a very unlikely registry tweak: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000001 Set it back to zero (reboot) and it works again.

I'm just hoping that either the removal of something or the patching of uxtheme.dll / tcpip.sys will instigate the issue again so I can finally look into it further.
