It appears to be fixed now! Thanks boooggy.

Denney

I just wanted to let you know, I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access your site boooggy!

Denney

Awesome work guys. Keep it up.

Denney

Although it is apparently fixed, here is the proof it isn't: In entries.ini: [ExtraFileEdits] presetup.cmd|%CDDRIVE%\OEM\bin\7z.exe x -y -aoa %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DP*.7z -o"%SystemDrive%"|%CDDRIVE%\OEM\bin\7z.exe x -y -aoa %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DP*.7z -o"%SystemDrive%"<NEXT>XCOPY %CDDRIVE%\OEM\D %SystemDrive%\D /E...

This isn't really an error... more of a cosmetic bug. When using the [HexEdit] section, the hex edits are applied but the log file shows the following: 12:30:01 - Hex Editing Files 12:30:02 - SYSSETUP.DLL 5.1.2600.2180 No match at offset 38296. Patched at offset 12:30:03 - SYSSETUP.DLL 5.1.2600.2180...

Denney

Damn... haven't seen the news in a couple of days... didn't realise it was THIS bad...

Denney

Damn. I take back my comment about wanting rain like that. I only want a bit... not that much... Hope you don't get to much more damage Ryan. (move into the attic and put a trap door in your roof.. just in case!

)

Denney

This is an awesome thread. I may contribute one day. I just want to say thanks to the authors of these plugins.

Removes my need to use nLite now (cause of the extra crap it removes...).

Denney

I run my configuration program during setup which is based on .NET v2.0. It was based on v1.1 but once we found a way to install v2.0 from SVCPACK it was all good. I'd still like to be able to integrate .NET framework straight into the CD though.

Denney

I wish we could get some rain like that down here in Aus. Brisbane is sooo dry right now. Sure, we've had some "showers" in the last day or two but nothing to write home about. We were tempted by a storm last night but it went straight around us and fizzled out... :( BTW... I LOVE storms also... Whe...

Denney

All he means is keep the cab files you're integrating OUT of the folder your integrating into.

Denney

Is there anymore progress on this?

I've tried to clean this up myself but it's just a real pain in the arse for me. I just can't seem to get it to work.

I've ended up giving up and now I've got .NET v1.1 and v2.0 installing via SVCPACK.

Denney

@swampy: I don't know if that'll work as the problem appears to be with the LegitCheckControl.dll file and not the wgatray.exe and wgalogon.exe files but I'll give it a shot once I'm done re-installing my comps later on tonight and see if that also fixes it. Doubt it though.

Denney

Just take a look at the Internet Traffic Report (http://www.internettrafficreport.com/). Barely even makes a DINT in internet traffic. They're just smokin' the usual stuff before a press release. They just want people to buy the DVD so they can make some more money without spending it on bandwidth. ...

Denney

I have a feeling that WGA will eventually be like what activation is... after so many days of being ungenuine or unactivated it'll lock you out of your computer until you pay for a genuine license... *shivers at the thought* If they can't get all their legit users to validate properly WITHOUT tellin...

Denney

@techtype: What are you smoking?

Denney

lol. Guys, my addons will be back online soon. My website got hosed the other week and I can't find my addons anywhere at home. When I find them, I'll put them back online and update my topics.

Denney

My 2 cents: A hacker (or anyone for that matter) can find a hacked LegitCheckControl.dll file ANYWHERE on the net. Hell, there's one out that will prevent WGA from updating itself until v8.*.*. That's pretty lame protection. A legit user like myself though has jumped through hoops to get my copies o...

Denney

Hmm... I don't have that file on any of my drives. Please post it so we can take a look.

Even though Ryan's removing WGA I'm still curious in looking for a fix for this problem.

Denney

@RougeSpear: SAV still seems to pivot on the "silent install" bit but yes, installing WGA via Windows Update works fine. Having it integrated causes the problems.

@Ryan: lol. Has Microsoft given you and official word on anything yet?

Denney

If people know their computer may never boot again, I'm pretty sure people won't mind if they have to install WGA post-install. lol.

Denney

New Test (can someone else confirm this): Remove WGATray and revert back to the old LegitCheckControl.dll file. Is this problem gone? I've removed WGA totally and reverted back to the version from v2.0.5 (pre-WGANotifications) and tested that. I cannot get it to blackscreen at all. Over 4 hours of t...

Denney

Just so you know, the version of the hacked LegitCheckControl.dll I use is NOT one that is updated between builds. It's a pre-hacked version that will last until WGA gets to v8 or something like that. There are MANY differences between it and the current one so I can't narrow down the exact edit tha...

Denney

As per my previous post, it was my fault boooggy's and xable's packs were black screening and ryan's wasn't. I didn't remove all the entries properly. Here's where I'm at: 1. Standard. 2. With WGA (integrated). 3. With hacked WGA. 4. With WGA removed. 5. With updated WGA. Stock Windows XP: Only numb...

Denney

My thoughs of the WGA hotfix, although fitting perfectly, may not be the only culprit.

I removed the WGA hotfix from all 3 packs (rvm, boooggy, xable) and only Ryan's pack seems OK. Unless Boooggy or Xable integrate the WGA hotfix differently, I can't figure out what's wrong.

Denney

Hey Ryan, I might have found a solution... update your pack! lol. I've tested it with booogy's and Xable's packs and can reproduce this issue easy. Now, to the solution... I downloaded the latest updates and slipstreamed them into the source (haven't done that in a while, the pack looks a little dif...

Denney

1. We seem to centered on SAV/SCS. It's not ONLY those programs. I managed to get it to black screen with just installing Windows Live Messenger 8!! Only did it once but I did it. There are many other programs I've tried that cause this issue. 2. This issue MUST have something to do with WGA because...

Denney

Hey guys. I've told Ryan about this but I need someone else to test it to confirm. Perform the following: 1. Install a stock Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation. 2. Goto Windows Update and apply all updates (including WGA). 3. SILENTLY install SAV. 4. Reboot a few times. If you manage to get a bl...

Denney

Sorry to ask these questions but what is the advantage of having the MCE2005 fixes? I think I need to clarify better. Why pick Boooggy's pack if it has less fixes than your's? I know that seems like a biased question but I'm wondering what fixes your pack has that would cause someone NOT to use it a...

Denney

Hey Ryan. I'm always confused by this pack and Boooggy's. I never know which one is the most updated one... :? Anyway, are you and Boooggy still going to integrate you're two packs like you hinted at last year? Is there a definitive comparison between your's and his? I know there are posts about it ...

Denney

@twig123: If you have "cmdow" on your CD, just add it to the "dll" (which is really a .cmd file that gets renamed from .dll to .cmd during setup) file like you normally would (pathtocmdow\CMDOW.exe @ /HID).

That's how most command files are hidden these days.

Denney

I think it's more the fact that people want the pack quickly... using a torrent you need to wait until you connect to some seeds and then download. In most cases, it's fine with a lot of seeds but as has been proven by MANY sites, unless you can host a torrent's files at a quick 24/7 host, you're li...

Denney

@twig123: Take a look in the cmdent.cab file in the I386 directory. Rename the first file to whatever.cmd and edit it in notepad. That's the file that registers stuff I believe. I haven't tested this since it first came out because i've been waiting for an update so I can't remember off hand what th...

Denney

lol, that's an unhealthy obsession.... lol.

Denney

Trust me, we don't all have RapidShare premium accounts (I wish I did). The main reason I think people use RapidShare is because it's quick and easy. Ryan isn't around 24/7 to upload peoples packs so it makes sense really. Also, people had to ask Ryan to host their packs. He won't automatically host...

Denney

I have to agree with GK. WGA causes more hassles for legit users than it does for illegit users. Just take a look around the net. Most of the updates this WGA "protects" are available to download elsewhere. A user with an illegal copy would obviously be able to find those updates somewhere else anyw...

Denney

@Fencer: We do have a VLP deal. Some computers (around 20 or so) are personal computers for the users so they have their own personalized copies. It's a bit of a pain in the arse setup but it's company policy. I've rung Microsoft and spoken to my contact about this and they have the keys in their sy...

Denney

Kool. I'll give this a try.

The reason I ask about the drivers is that I have an old SCSI card that I use and the Windows XP drivers don't work with W2k3 and they won't produce a W2k3 driver because the card is to old to support (only 4 years old mind you, released in 2001...).

Denney

Funny you should say that Fencer as I have to work with 200 Windows XP Professional Corporate computers and NONE of them pass WGA. They all come back saying that their keys were never released by Microsoft. An official at Microsoft has told me to either circumvent WGA (not in those words ofcourse) o...

Denney

Does this thing resolve all those "driver conflicts" with Windows XP based drivers? If it does, then I'm sold.

Denney

Heh, yeah, that'd be cool.

Denney

I take different approach... I have one CD for each operating system, optimised with BASIC modifications for all PC. I then have a script that asks for an "Update CD" and that CD has another script that will install various things, ask the user certain questions, that sorta stuff. The "Update CD" ca...

Hey dgelwin, I know you don't like to but would it be possible to upload what you already have so some of us can have a play around with it maybe try and finish it ourselves?

Denney

Ok kool armond. Sorry I didn't see it.

And what's a little healthy competition.

Your pack also includes "cabarc.exe". Mine doesn't. It only contains "makecab.exe".

As no-one has replied with any errors, can someone change the title to [Release]?

@hughes40: It seems what I said was taken in the wrong context... I hate trying to express emotions with words.... I didn't mean it to sound like "that's all it does ALRIGHT!!! :evil: ", I meant it to sound like, "that's all it does, alright (insert thumbs up smiley here)" as in, it does nothing mor...

Denney

That's all it does alright. Just a simple cut and paste job from your pack really.
