no problem MrNxDmX.

hmm...now all we need is chess and texas hold em...i think i can provide either or both of those if needed, but someone will need to patch them and what-not to get them working in xp (as i'm clueless with both VAIO and addon making

)

Added megaupload.com links provided by joll69. Thanks very much.

any luck on the chess?

Also thx for making it so that we can install on existing builds.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 10:01 am

Waiting VAIO to support RTM games in order to patch them, there is no other way to run them n on WinXP.

I re-compressed all addons containing the main addon for smaller size.
Also, uploaded them to accounts that RyanVM and RogueSpear opened.
Thanks very much to both for the free hosting.

so what is going on with this? Any luck on the chess one? Any news or what?

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon May 07, 2007 5:36 pm

No news yet. I (or hopefully ricktendo64) will make them addon when they are available. But VAIO doesnt currently can patch the final games.

s2mishappy · Post by **s2mishappy** » Wed May 09, 2007 8:06 am

I downloaded : NR_VGamezMain_Addon_1.1.cab, NR_VGamezP5_Addon_1.1.cab, NR_VGamezP6_Addon_1.2.cab.

and install them with clean XPsp2 with the other addon:
5er_MSSignedThemes_v2.2_Addon, CXP_AddOnSuppress_igames, CXP_AddOnSuppress_moviemk, CXP_AddOnSuppress_msagent, CXP_AddOnSuppress_msmsgs, CXP_AddOnSuppress_msnmsn, CXP_AddOnSuppress_netmeeting, CXP_AddOnSuppress_sc, CXP_AddOnSuppress_srchasst, CXP_AddOnSuppress_tour, Foxy_7-Zip_4.42_Addon_v1.0, Foxy_dotNET_1.1_and_2.0_SVCPACK_Addon_v1.0, Kels_lite_addon_v3.2, Kels_OpenAL_addon_v1.9.9, Kels_RoyalMod_Addon_v1.3, Kels_VistaXP_addon_v1.3, KTTADDON_V1.4, MrsP_Neave_Flash_Games_Addon_v1.0.1, NR_CursorsAIO_Addon_1.7, PatchAddon_SFC_OS_v13c, PatchAddon_TCPIP_250_v13d, PatchAddon_UXTHEME_v13c, RH_OpusOS_theme_addon_v1.5, Ricks_Paint.Net_Addon_v3.05, RVMAddons_1.8.1, RVMAddonsDX9_1.3, TD_addons_7za, tg_Addons_w95inf_1.0.1, Themes_Kels_Midnight_Addon_1.7, Themes_Kels_Royale_Remixed_v1.46_addon, Themes_Kimbra_Addon_1, Themes_rytukz_Rista_3.1_addon, WMP11_TweakedAddon, Xable_OUE_OGA_v1.6_addon, and Xable_WinRAR-v3.51-RSA_addon. + RVMUpdatePack2.1.9.

and the result, I can play solitaire. but the solitaire was the XP's solitaire. not vista. and the chinese, it was error. so, whats the problem. I just removed them.

is there any runtime or what addon that I didnt intergreted ?
thanks

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Wed May 09, 2007 5:46 pm

s2mishappy, what was the error with chinese?

There is no other runtimes or needed files except the main addon for playing the games. I suggest you to try instlling them with inf files. extract the addons and right click the inf files, select install. Then choose the right cab file.
You launch the games from Start\All Programs\Vista Games. Did you launch them from that folder or used the default windows game?
Maybe the removal addons you used can cause sth but i'm not sure. I havent seen any other errors than vga error...

I will explain to you how it works, but some other day

s2mishappy · Post by **s2mishappy** » Sat May 12, 2007 6:56 am

oh I dont know what was wrong there. it said like this :

Runtime Error!

Program : C:\Program files\Microsoft Games\Shanghai\Shanghai.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

the same like solitaire, it has that error too. I've tried to intall the inf.
I'm using ATI Radeon 9600pro. driver 6.12.
maybe I'll try it on the other computer.
thx anyway...

here the pics

shanghai

solitaire

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sat May 12, 2007 7:05 am

Your pic links are no good.

But here is the BIG question?

"Did you also use the main addon that is REQUIRED to use theses games?"

s2mishappy · Post by **s2mishappy** » Sat May 12, 2007 7:28 am

sorry for the link... :p :">

yes, I used the main addon too. I used these add on :
* main add on : NR_VGamezMain_Addon_1.1.cab,
* Shanghai : NR_VGamezP5_Addon_1.1.cab,
* Solitaire: NR_VGamezP6_Addon_1.2.cab

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Sat May 12, 2007 3:56 pm

I think that you are trying to launch the games by directly launching the exe's. It will work for once but at second run, you'll get error message.
Use the cmd file or the startmenu shortcuts for launching games. This issue has talked before. You can check previous posts...

THanks very much ricktendo64, i got it added to the AIO addon. I will update it when i find more free time.

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Sat May 12, 2007 6:30 pm

Three little words...

Mahjong, mahjong, mahjong!!

...and maybe Chess too!!

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Thu May 17, 2007 6:53 pm

I updated the AIO addon pack. Now it has smaller size. The cab files in the previous addon didnt change. Only entries.ini and inf files changed. If you dont want to download whole 114mb addon, get entries and inf files here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31899936/NR ... s.rar.html
Size: 3KB, MD5: D7C7F0204BFE2E19A8D45D17016CF772

I dont know when i wll update others for this little reg entry.

Thanks ricktendo64.

I guess you haven't checked out the Shanghai Solitare then.

It's the mahjongg.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Tue May 22, 2007 4:12 pm

I updated all 8 seperate addons with the entries ricktendo64 suggested.
All are version2 now.

Sanjay · Post by **Sanjay** » Tue May 22, 2007 4:30 pm

I used the 'All In One' (NR_VGamesAIO_Addon_v1.3.7z) addon and all the games seem to be working fine except for FreCell & Solitaire. It seems that the Vista versions of 'FreeCell & Solitaire' installed by this pack and the Windows XP default versions of these two games are identical, or atleast that's what it seems like to me. Am I missing something, or is it supposed to be like this? I can't imagine why they would be the same and thus it seems there might be a problem with the 'All In One' pack. Can you please confirm.

Thanks.

Edit: I checked the Install path and I notice that for some reason both FreeCell & Solitaire have the XP version exe files in the 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\' path. That explains why both versions seemed to be identical. Nw the question is why and how did the XP version EXE files get there. I extracted and copied the correct files from the addon (NR_VGamesAIO_Addon_v1.3.7z) and both the games are now working fine. Although in the case of Solitaire I had to change the properties of the shortcut to point to sol.exe since earlier the shortcut properties showed it to be pointing to solitaire.exe.

Hi sanjay. After seeing ur post, i made an install on a running vmware system. Windows Xp Pro Turkish Sp2 with my update pack integrated. Everything went fine. No errors etc. I opened "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Solitaire" and the Solitaire.exe file was NOT the default xp one. It had version 1.0.0.1 in properties. But after checking the default xp sol.exe, i saw that it has v5.1.2600.0, that is very normal.
Also, if you check the NR_VGms1.cab file thats inside of NR_VGamesAIO_Addon_v1.3.7z, you will see that sol.exe program has version 1.0.0.1 in properties. And please check the NR_VGame.inf file, and confirm that you can see this:

Code: Select all

[SourceDisksNames.x86]
1="VistaGamesFiles","NR_VGms1.cab",,"i386"
2="VistaGamesAdditionalFiles","NR_VGms2.cab",,"i386"

These codes tells setup to look in NR_VGms2.cab and NR_VGms1.cab files, not the i386 dir.
Also, in NR_VGame.inf file, you will see these lines under [Copy.Solitaire] section.

Code: Select all

[Copy.Solitaire]
cardlib.cab,Sol_lib.cab
Solitaire.BAK,Sol.BAK
Solitaire.exe,Sol.exe
windowscodeintegrity.luacdf,WCI_Sol.lua

That will tell setup to look for sol.exe file and copy it as Solitaire.exe. And, in [Sol.ShortCut] section, that will tell windows create soliatire's chortcut:

Code: Select all

[Sol.ShortCut]
Name=Solitaire
CmdLine=16422,"%Sol_DIR%",Solitaire.exe
Subdir="%Short_DIR%"
WorkingDir=16422,"%Sol_DIR%"
InfoTip=Vista Solitaire

Here the shortcut refers to Solitaire.exe file, that setup previously copied to "program files\microsoft games\Solitaire" directory.

So, everything works ok for me. And i CAN NOT confirm your issue.
However, if you find the reason of this unexpected behavior of xp, i'll be glad to learn it.
Good luck with that.

Sanjay · Post by **Sanjay** » Sat May 26, 2007 2:47 am

I checked all the entries in 'NR_VGame.inf' file and everything seems to be in order just as you have posted. Also the files in the cab files are all in order. Why the wrong versions of Solitaire and FreeCell got installed is still a mystery. I will be making my UADVD again and will reformat my computer hopwfully things will go as intended this time. Will post the results once I am done.

Thanks for your help.

Why the name change, DmX?

ton80 · Post by **ton80** » Sat May 26, 2007 7:40 am

That's what it's called in Vista. I didn't know that was the name until I had to reinstall Windows

. I'm still hoping for the chess also. Me and a friend of mine that I also keep the install disc up to date.

Like ton80 said, i didnt change any names. I suppose they have different names cos they dont belong to vista final. I wish we could patch rtm games but no luck. VAIO project is dead

I tried AIO addon, everything works with last 3 released Ryan Update Packs, IE7, WMP11 and no errors. Many, many thanks for this AddOn, especially from my girlfriend, she loves shanghai

ton80 · Post by **ton80** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:21 am

I got the same type of error for solitaire and freecell on my friends pc that I just reinstalled winxp on. haven't checked mine yet. It's just the old ones.

I think that this didn't do this until after your last updates. Version 1 worked correctly.

Edit #1: fixed both ones per Sanjay's post; They both had the old .exes (Vista exes are very big about 700+ KB compared to the old exes 50+ KB) inside their C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\'folders'. Weird.

Edit #2 It was the same scenario on my own new install. Same fix as above.

Thereby also Fully Integrating It But Also Saving Extra Room As Well.

The links aren't broken. Turn off your firewall temporarily and then click on the link. Also, don't use a download manager/accelerator, just use your web browser. Worked for me just now (the AIO package).

I'm under the impression that because they (the games) are technically part of Vista (or 7), they fall under the same license as the rest of the operating system.

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:13 pm

Different boards have different policies as to what they allow, and it is my opinion that the board policy should be what dictates what you should post. Here they are a little looser than they are at some other boards. Things like your AIO would be allowed here, AFAIK, just like the various update packs by user_hidden, OnePiece, etc, and the rebuilt installers by Ricktendo and others, with the understanding that if MS filed a complaint that it would be removed. A moderator might disagree, of course, but I'd say go for it.

Cheers and Regards
