Dont Use a path with spaces for the source of your XP Files.

But like dgelwin & vyas_vipul Said above the error is probably in one of the addons / .net addon

Paul_365

Nice Post dgelwin,

Thanks to you and Happy Holidays to you and everyone else.

Paul_365

I have a copy of the beta RVMUpdatePack2.0.2b1.cab if it helps

When is fcuk Acceptable? There are only 11 times in History where the "F" word has been considered acceptable for use. They are as follows: 11. "What the fcuk do you mean we're sinking?" --- Capt.

Your trouble is gone.

No, its just hidden or worked around, the original cause is still there and so are any other problems lurking in the background.

Make a new source with no spaces in your paths.

Paul_365

Why does it have to be a sub forum?
Just Park it next to the original addon forum, one for utils and apps and another for themes and related.

I agree the themes could do with being in there own forum.

Paul_365

Oh Man, thats just bad, system restore backsup and restores your registry when some thing like this screws up, its the last thing you should remove. The only thing i can suggest is to create a new user and see if the problem carries over to that new user account, if so, its time for the xp disk........

Paul_365

Like dgel sai, it just adds 1 to icon size, sends a sendmessage, then reduces the icon size by 1 and sends another sendmessage. I cant see how it can cause that. have u tried the icon repair options in tweakui? That looks like your theme has failed, try selecting luna and see what happens. And if al...

Paul_365

i allready found it last night, its been there for some time, its fixed in the latest dev version.

Paul_365

I too can confirm the problem with icfgnt.dll if the install is started from any method other than the cd. Infact its the sole reason i am here as i decided to make my own pack to try and get around that problem, unfortuantly i got semi sidetracked here and never got around to solving that problem. ...

Paul_365

i have a guess, do you integrate to a split path on a second drive like d:\this destination\

Paul_365

First and most important question, What Language is your original XP Disk.

We also need your sysoc.in_ and svcpack.in_

Paul_365

@ kiljaeden Thats RapidSucks clever coding, its reading your isp's proxy ip as yours and grouping you all together, ntl?

Paul_365

Thanks Guys, but i really wanted the original files so i can be sure we have solved the problem.

All is good, vier has pmed me so were sorted.

Paul_365

I need a unicode version of sysoc.inf or svcpack.inf for testiing, Can anyone help?

Please pm or post link if you can help.
Thanks

Paul_365

vier, can u link me to a copy of your SYSOC file, before you fix it

Paul_365

What Launguge version is your xp

Paul_365

Double clicking on the cp applet just gives me the hourglass for a brief second and then nothing. This is a live install so i might have messed something up but i cant see where.

what does the .manifest bit do ?

Paul_365

Thanks, which cpl is it for ?

Still cant get timezone to run even with the dll in the shellext

Paul_365

About FINDTARGET.DL_, the file is present in the cab but no reference in the entries file.

btw: which cpl is this file for?

Paul_365

Thanks, Never thought of google.

Paul_365

Where did/does this update come from ?

Paul_365

When you make or use a pack that has entries like the following you break the dos based installation mode of your cd and open up all sorts of possible "file not found" problems BootVis.cpl = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0 BootVis.EXE = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0 CDImageGUIx.cpi = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,CDImageGUI.cpi CDImageGUI.exe...

Paul_365

Damn ^^^ Those are some fine words, But what did you actualy say :P Highmat works fine as an addon but i feel wga should be part of the pack, It means that the user is not presented with any required updates when they visit WU or MU. Also it has the bonus of removing those posts from users who dont ...

Paul_365

Actually, its not even there at all in the version i just downloaded from the top link.

yep just redownloaded it.
vistaxp.th_ is not present in this cab, but is referenced in the ini

Paul_365

If Your using -
Themes_InspiratSEMod_nondef1.0_Addon_dgelwin.cab or

InspiratSEMod_nondef1.0_Addon_dgelwin.cab

Try dropping them, both of them contain theme.ini and at least one of them is flawed, It uses long file names in the txtsetup.sif, in the first part instead of at the end of each line.

Paul_365

@CelestialRaptor, Ive never seen windows use the word "won't" Perhaps you could furnish us with the correct error.

Also were you using a cd or a mapped iso, ive been stuck with issues like that before and all it turned out to be was a faulty disk.

and welcome aboard

Paul_365

Zxian, Using VMware what networked mode do you have vm configured 2, Nat or bridged, That may be the reason its we cant repeat the problem.

Having said that i dont think i ever got it to work (vanilla XP) using bridged, but i gave up real quick and switched to NAT.

Paul_365

Can i get a link for CPL file maker.

Many thanks

Paul_365

I have just looked at the code that deals with this and your nearly right. If [ProductCatalogsToInstall] is the last line in svcpack.inf or if there is no space between [ProductCatalogsToInstall] and the next section then the new cats wont be added. If [ProductCatalogsToInstall] is just a blank sect...

The 1.3.1 Version of the Pack has issues with New hotfixes, caused by too many hotfix catalog files.
Please read the forum for more details, there are a number of posts.

A new version is in the works and under severe testing.

Paul_365

It must be a typo on the component page, its definety not included.

Maybe its one of the ones Ryan removed.

Paul_365

Extract the 2 dll files and copy them into the system32 folder.

Paul_365

How are they failing? what are the failed symptoms?
Can u give me 2 packs that wont work together? so i can test.

Paul_365

Do all the inf's have independant names?

Paul_365

Create a blank inf file and include it in your pack, point that variable to the blank image so Nlite is kept happy. When windows processes the sysoc file it should hand off to the the blank file, do nothing, return and carry on with its business. If the Blank file fails or causes an error then try a...

Paul_365

Notes on the above. No files are added to the combined cab file that didnt allready exist in one of the original 2 files (driver.cab & sp2.cab) Any file mentioned in the the above 2 sections will not require a txtsetup or dosnet entrie. New files from hotfixes that don't allready exist in either of ...

Can you tell me which Autoit commands you use to access this file, maybe i can do some research on it, I am familiar with Autoit

Paul_365

When viewed in notepad at the very bottom of the file you will see something similar but smaller to this [] Some editors display it as what looks like a version of the pipe symbol | only shorter and wider. others don’t display it at all. You may need to look at a txtsetup.sif file from an original d...

Paul_365

Did You start from a fresh copy of SP2 ?

if so are you sure it was fresh? IE from a disk not a download

Paul_365

HI, I have done some testing and probing around to find out why one of my installs is failing and during the course of that i notice that the integrator isnt preserving the End of file marker in txtsetup.sif. I don't know how important this is, but several sites talk about preserving it, including t...

Paul_365

ah, no i don't use that method to create the source files, thats gosh's method and it uses the winnt32.exe to precopy the files to the hidden folder, it also uses dosnet.inf to achive this. where as the usual method uses just the txtsetup.sif file. While your having problems i would switch to just c...

Paul_365

nah, that’s not the case, I am still using the original sp2 floppy boot files with no problems I did exactly like you did TJ and all went fine, I suspect the visual problem is caused by you forgetting to drop the utxtheme.dll into your i386 folder after integration. As for the boot files, if you do ...

Paul_365

Same Here, only it worked for me and the install to VM just completed perfectly. I used c:\source and placed the full contents of my fresh slipstreamed sp2 disk there. I left the cab file and the integrator in the root c:\ I ran it 2 times, once on a vlk version and once on a genuine pro version. Ma...

Paul_365

RC8 Fully completed for me and i am doing a VM install as we speak.

The strange thing is i looked through my log file and could not find any of the above stings in my log at all.

Did you use the addon pack as well?
