For Windows XP/2k3, Last Updated 2011/11/9
If you use nlite to integrate this addon on Windows 2003, read nlite integration guide on 2003 for this addon. RVMI users don't need extra steps.
Description:
- This addon will replace your Internet Explorer 6 in your windows installation CD with Internet Explorer 8 w/ latest updates(QFE branch is used in this release).
Features:- Compatibility with XP/2k3 in one Addon(RVMI only). Only compatible with XP for nlite.
nLite users who want to integrate this addon on Windows 2003 should read the integration guide. - A syssetup.dll-patch-free method to avoid errors in setuperr.log while do not increase your install CD size.(NoSetupErr style only)
This method is even better compared to MrNxDmx(NR)'s:- File replacements are finished at T-13(NR's are not until OOBE), so any svcpack.inf execution that relies on IE(for example: WPI) works.
- Don't use the unique registry for delayed boot-stage file replacing so this key can be used by other addons/nlite.
- Don't require extra disk spaces
- Fixed some errors created by Micro$oft(wbem path and some reg entries), Cleaned some trashes left by Micro$oft(infobar sounds)
- Extremely easy for translators to build a localized version. The guide is here.
- Addon structure: File Copy and Registry handling are system-like.
- Save more several Kilo-bytes when used along with my WMP Addon.
- Compatibility with XP/2k3 in one Addon(RVMI only). Only compatible with XP for nlite.
- Internet Explorer 8 8.0.6001.18702
- Hotfixes and Updates:
- MrNxDmx, for his thought of making the addon free from setuperr.log complainning.
- nonno fabio and OnePiece Alb, again, for their invention to copy files like system components act.
- On XP with SP2 / 2k3 with SP1 or an earlier service pack level, proper update(s) that update sqmapi.dll, shdocvw.dll, shlwapi.dll, browseui.dll are required
- nlite users who want to integrate this addon on Windows 2003 please read the nlite integration guide.
- 2 Versions are released. They can be integrated upon each other seamlessly.
One is the "clean" style, almost no difference compared to onepiece's; another is the "NoSetupErr" style, i.e. no setuperr.log entries, it uses 3-pass file copying so it may be a litter slow than the "clean" style. (In fact the first pass is unnecessary but it's difficult to realize it by an entries*.ini)
- Clean Style: Files are copied directly. Having setuperr.log items.
Can be used together with this fix addon + cracking syssetup.dll to avoid setuperr.log reports.
