I tried GrandAdmiralThralls crude hack of version 3.2.2 and I discovered that titles are not present in the tabs, and the menu bar was missing. Fortunately there is an adequate backport of version 3.3.3 for Windows XP by Barcode which you can obtain here . This is a single executable because it is t...

I waited and waited for 5ereph to make the final build of of the XPSP3 QFE POSReady 2009 addon, and I must say I felt let down when it dawned on me that he had abandoned it. As no-one else volunteered to make the final build I decided, with some trepidation, to do it myself, and I must say it was a ...

I have downloaded the XP2ESD driver package and I must say I am impressed from what I have seen without testing them. George seems to have exploited the NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender from Github, but he has made a better job of it than I could do, even going so far as to re-write the stock INF files. I must...

Remove Windows Movie Maker Addon Here is an improved version of the Movie Maker removal addon based on a file and folder comparison of an nLited source and the stock source using WinMerge. The real breakthrough occurred when I did a binary comparison of the patched syssetup.dll made by nLite and th...

Zephyr

The Harkaz patch kind of works, but it still causes problems like missing shortcuts for instance. Movie Maker removal is flawless when done by nLite, so I did a binary comparison between the stock syssetup.dll and the patched version made by nLite using WinMerge and here is the patch that was done: ...

I tried the link at win-raid.com but it is dead and the page cannot be retrieved using the Wayback Machine. There is a possibility of using the storahci.sys driver from the Microsoft SATA driver v2.1 using the NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender from Github that provides libraries of missing functions for the Win...

Remove Windows Movie Maker Addon I had a hell of a job making this addon, but I finally cracked it. No errors in setuperr.log except to say that my patched sfcfiles.dll is not correctly signed. I have patched sfcfiles.dll to remove the Movie Maker files from WFP monitoring. SFC does not indicate an...

I tried to patch syssetup.dll using PatchAddon_SYSSETUP_InfSkip_v14.7z so that I can edit syssetup.inf for an addon I am working on but the line in HexEdit I386\SYSSETUP.DLL|5.1.2600.5512|211753|73|72 causes setup to restart during the Preparing Installation stage. If you experience this problem try...

I am having so much trouble making a Movie Maker removal addon that I feel like giving up. The directive [obsolete_files] wrecks my installation as does the combination of [FileDelete} and [Obsolete_Entries]. The Program Folder is missing, the PChealth folder is empty and setuperr.log shows a number...

I have discovered a hack to enable daily virus definition updates in NOD32 Antivirus version 8.0.319. After some Googling I found a link in a Facebook page to a Youtube video with a link in it's description to a patch that enables a setting for servers exactly like the setting in versions up to vers...

The INF path variables are not the same as the path locations in [WinntDirectories] of txtsetup.inf.

Zephyr

I have discovered that the INF path variable %11% does not work in the RunPostSetupCommands section of Eng_Intl.inf, so I have replaced it with %SystemRoot%\System32. This should enable the subfolders in the mui folder to be deleted. UK English KBD_Eng_UK_Addon.7z MD5: E275DBF8A576E9323FD61CAE89A351...

A common mistake for "new" Intel SATA drivers: VEN_8086&DEV_3A20 and VEN_8086&DEV_3A26 (ICH10R) are missing (Intel P43 Northbridge). My Intel SATA/RAID driver addons do support the ICH10R chipset, so all I need to do is add the hardware IDs of your Intel SATA AHCI Controller found in the Device Man...

Zephyr

Thanks travma for providing samples of the Remove Unneeded Windows Components addons. I have studied Entrie_Accessibility_Removal.ini, and gained some useful insights. For instance the [obsolete_files] section not only removes files from the i386 folder of the setup media, but it also removes their ...

There is a Youtube video titled Eset NOD32 ver.8 installation with offline update and disable automatic upgrade in which garbled instructions are provided for using a patch the uploader has created that adds a dialogue box for a sever in the update settings.

Eset have ceased to supply updates for versions of NOD32 Antivirus below 10 on 19th September 2022. What to do? I love using version 8.0.319 because it retains the classic GUI, it is light on system resources, and it has some advanced features like anti stealth technology and advanced heuristics, so...

A common mistake for "new" Intel SATA drivers: VEN_8086&DEV_3A20 and VEN_8086&DEV_3A26 (ICH10R) are missing (Intel P43 Northbridge). It is likely that the hardware ID for your SATA controller is missing from the Manufacturers section of iaAHCI.inf in the Universal Intel SATA/RAID driver. Check the ...

I found out that the Autoit error was caused by a full stop a few lines below the last entry in my entries.ini file. The increased chance of such errors creeping into large entries.ini files might explain why they fail with this Autoit error message. If such an error occurs it might be worth searchi...

Optional applications are included. This ...

The same thing with VC++ - installer (in CP) version is different than files and also main fileversions differ from each other. Another tough one to decide but after I've downloaded all the older releases and analyzed all together I've decided to check for the .dll's that are present in every build...

Another 7-zip GUI frontend with a tree view pane I have discovered is called Jzip. The website closed down in 2020, and the last working installer available on the internet is 2.0.0.135670 released in 2015. It does not support some of the new archive formats that 7-zip can create and there is a bug ...

Zephyr

The original addon created by 5eraph removed four obselete files that are also protected system files. This means that if you integrate this addon System File Checker will flag them as missing. I have remedied this by disabling their entries in sfcfiles.dll using these additions in entries_IE8.ini [...

It is a shame that the links for these addons downloads are dead because I would like to update them and make them available for current XP users. Does anyone still have these addons archived, or do they know how they were built?

They resolve a problem caused by a limit of ten concurrent outbound connections with the SYN flag imposed on Windows XP and 2000.
