ok guys, i guess this is the correct thread to post this piece of news from SysInternals:

I thinks this new policy will affect almost packs with SysInternals' appz includedThe Sysinternals freeware license page now explains scenarios under which a paid commercial license is required for use.
You are allowed to use software published by Sysinternals at home or at work without paying a commercial license fee provided that you downloaded the software yourself directly from Sysinternals, and:
- Use the software on computers for which you are the primary user; or
- Use the software on computers for which there is no primary user (e.g. servers, including Terminal Servers) and you are a full-time employee of the company that owns the computer; or
- Use the software on computers within your residence
A commercial license is required to use the software in any way not covered above, including for example:
- Redistributing the software in any manner, including by computer media, a file server, an email attachment, etc.
- Embedding the software in or linking it to another program
-Use of the software for technical support on customer computers

Yeah, that certainly leaves no wiggle room for what we're doing.

I imagine a LOT of ppl will be needing to buy a license now.. that policy is pretty restrictive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be all right if instead of posting the entire addon, only the inf and ini files were posted with a list of what files would be needed. My idea is along the lines of the MSFN tutorials people make for individual proggies.
I mean, you've gone to all the trouble of creating the addon, why waste all that work... plus this method might work for other programs with strict licences
Of course, I have no idea how complicated it really is to make an addon or to compile the program files but you never know, it might work for some... like the easy one dgelwin is finishing for .Net 1.1 + 2.0

That's exactly what we've been talking about in the announcement at the top

I`ve discontinued this addon because of sysinternals licensing.
An excellent sysinternals addon builder however has been made by n7Epsilon and avneet25, check it out here
