i only hope you are testing on a virtual machine before actually burning the cd
if that still doesn't work consider adding sfc_os.dll patch from the system file patches thread by zacam, that or for syssetup dll which ever does the trick
i am currently using the all-in-one system file patch's and it runs correctly

Nope I always test on a live system with a DVD RW, Your new version worked great, thanks man.

how about instead of condensing the descriptions, just put a tinyurl link for each service and that link will point to the service's description on blackviper's site? or if you really wanna use tinyurl bandwith, put in the preview links, mass advertise the addon on all the xp custom install forums, and noobs will have peace of mind knowing where each link goes to. and maybe tinyurl will have a fit, but who cares.

just a thought...

Hammering Black Viper's domain is not the best solution, methinks. Last I remember he was running his website out of his own home...

roweezy · Post by **roweezy** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 4:28 pm

LOL. sry, didnt know that.

ok then lets use http://shorttext.com/
free text snippet hosting. 30000 chars. might even be enough for 1 or 2 translations. short as heck links. no ads (for now i assume). use comments feature to notify users of updated info in newer shorttext link.
and more importantly, relieve blackviper's machine.

cmon ppl, lets think outside the box, use web2.0, blah blah blah, bs bs bs...............

updated! added sp3 descriptions. 4 or 5 extra thats all

choman · Post by **choman** » Sun May 04, 2008 10:35 am

@ ENU_User

Thanks for the update...

Hey is this addon smart enough to work on XP SP2 as well or only SP3?

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Sun May 04, 2008 10:51 am

some edits belonging to SP3 will get skipped on SP2 , same as SP2 will be edited only upon what is found by reference to edits or even after removals so, this addon remains compatible to both SP's .

Thanks for the info

This is destroying my disc... integrating with nLite I get a "H- is out of bounds..." something or other error... and completely breaks the build, nLite doesn't even finish copying over addons etc... have to start all over (ie: SP0 integrate SP3 > nLite)

sorry forgot using nLite 1.4.5 b2

run this addon with nlite if you want to completely screw up the source
sorry

Did you have RVM Integrator only mentioned before? I am so sorry if I missed that... or did you just add that... if I missed it, again I apologize for being an idiot... haha

Hehe. Next I'll have to confirm that using nLite after integrating this addon won't muck this up somehow as well.

ChiefZeke · Post by **ChiefZeke** » Sun May 04, 2008 5:25 pm

Coincidence for sure.

I recently posted comments in General about the Black Viper site having SP3 updates and here I find this today. Good job - addon downloaded.

The author might want to post this info/link on the Black Viper site and bring those folks up-to-date, just a suggestion.

I wonder if converting the Zip to a 7-Zip like most other addons would help it work with nLite? I never tried to integrate any regular Zip file in nLite, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to work. If noone else finds out in the meantime, I guess I'll let you know next time I use this (I never used it before).

you can use nlite after integrating this or before. this addon will know how to react- like nlite will still know whats to be removed.

the inf file in this addon forces some descriptions back! as I found out some new post sp2 files had descriptions embedded, overwriting whats in the older inf files
but having those few entries wont matter or show up if you happen to remove any of the mentioned services with nlite

as to archive formats zip, 7z, rar ... cant matter to nlite or RVMI
the same gets extracted regardless of formats

nlite does have the extrafileedits feature but as we know it! won't work as expected with this addon

hope this clears up some

Yes, thank you! Saves a lot of useless testing on my part.

Hi, I'm asking myself why you modify HIVESYS.INF usin the entries file and use an inf to do the same thing ? It's to be sure that the modification are applied ?

According to the black viper news page : http://www.blackviper.com/News/current.htm, he has only finish describing SP3 services A to D, and there's no trace of a new services description registry file ?

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Wed May 07, 2008 10:37 pm

not yet but there are 4 extra services with sp3 that are not fully described yet mentioning mainly that these are the new to sp3. mostly...

as to the first question: yes, those are re applied because some newer files since post sp2 keep descriptions embedded & that overwrites whats in HIVESYS.INF. the inf attached is to makes sure it overwrite the embedded ones ...

nlite removes entries when removing services so this is done this way for sakes of compatibility as well

Is there any way to *make* this compatible with nlite?

If not, should I integrate this into the source before or after doing an nlite setup?

If neither is preferable, is there a way to add this to an already running system (maybe a silent installer *after* everything else is run)?

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:38 pm

crashfly, you can integrate this both before using nlite ir after ...

you know its possible to quickly import a reg file for these services when in gui

& a reg file is available on bv's site which cant be to hard to find ...

Keep up the good work ENU_user! And thanks for the good word over at WinCert. Also saw your updated posts over at BV's and responded to you there. Didn't want to clutter things up by repeating things here, or referencing that post, unless you feel it's appropriate. Let me know.

Cheers and regards.

crashfly · Post by **crashfly** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:24 pm

Now, I am not trying to make more work for you, but would it be possible to make two separate addons?

The reason I ask, I would like to have some installs with *just* the informative descriptions, while only certain ones I want to have the services modified.

If not, I would understand (and would continue to use your 'before the update' addon). Otherwise, I hope it might be something you would consider.

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:56 pm

bphlpt good post over @ bv's (will get to it ..)

crashfly not a problem, i will have this separated when i'm back to it

thanks

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 6:20 am

I can understand the need to control the bits but then again the settings are too small here so it really isn't worth the time splitting!.

thanks to bphlpt there is now more information available for the services tweaking part here

its easier to sort out ...

simple to mod and modify once you can understand the bits involved , what more, its a completely harmless method and much safer then the regular methods that requires reg imports to change anything..., with this its easier to switch between settings without the need to change anything!.
EDIT: ADDED some help pointers to the inf file

I am unable to select different profile. If i change default profile to load, or set time, ... the windows wont restart & shut down, and after reset i am back at the beginning?
What 2 do?

Oh, it was Windows update causing troubles (some stupid thing wasn't finished installing). I'm sorry for doubting you ENU_user. Please have mercy, this is a great addon, i've been asking for it some time ago.

EDIT: ADDED some help pointers to the inf file

As a 'rehash' of an earlier post, I found the easiest way to make this work for me without modifying the way the services run was to comment out all of the lines in "section A" that actually modify the run bits on a service. This ended up being about all but three lines. This way, I still ended up getting all of the service descriptions, but I was also not forced to have them set to something I modified later with nlite.

Otherwise, I would still like to compliment ENU_user on a wonderful addon. Thanks for the great work.

Can this addon be modified to work with XP x86-64? I had originally used this addon when I was running XP x86-32, and since upgrading my OS, I was hoping to get some of the original useful functionality back.

Particularly, I am more interesting in just the descriptions. So if anyone has any ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

ENU_user · Post by **ENU_user** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 2:30 am

crashfly, I couldn't test it on VM, as I don't have VM for 64 on 32 bit OS\machine. if someone knows to direct me on to how, I'll run a test for it ..

yumeyao · Post by **yumeyao** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:02 am

VMWare 6.5.1 and Virtual Box will let you do that.

but this option is only availiable when you are running with some CPUs like Core2 etc. i can't remember it clearly but it's true that some technic is needed for your CPU to do the job.

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 6:28 am

VMware has a utility to help determine if a processor can run 64-bit clients.

CPU Identification Utility

I believe most AMD64 processors can, going all the way back to those produced in 2005, like mine.
