Thanks so much for responding.

I was wondering if the included Resource Hacker res files in your packs could be used on the 64-bit version but only possible if you manually updated the Windows XP 64-bit resources yourself within Resource Hacker??? or does the 64-bit version have completely different resources inside its system files than the 32-bit version???

Thasnks for responding.

Unfortunately, I wish I could answer that question for you. I would ASSUME that the 32-bit resources are similar to the 64-bit, but I haven't looked at them at any length.

Hi mate.

Well it seems you can use the resources in your pack on the 64-bit Windows XP system files. Not directly with your installer but manully you can.

I have successfully updated the 64-bit Windows XP logonui.exe with the resources contained in your pack and it seems to work perfectly.

The only thing that needs fixed in my modified 64-bit logonui.exe with your resources is bitmap 2006 needs editing to include x64 between the Professional and the Edition text part of the bitmap, so I was wondering if you could please do me small favor and edit the bitmap for me so that it says Windows XP Professional x64 Edition???

The below attachment is the bitmap from your pack I would like edited so that it corresponds to the x64 version.

Note: I've tried to edit the bitmap myself but noticed the bitmap has transparent properties which must be kept in order for the windows logo contained in the bitmap to display properly on the logon screen.

I haven`t really worked with image files that contain transparent properties.

Have you implemented the fix we talked about?

[dougiefresh]

I'm sorry. This weekend, I have been trying to correct some other bugs I found. Unfortunately, the problem with the code is more extensive than I realized.... I've also had some personal problems which is slowing down my progress considerably.... I am trying to get everything implemented and it should be ready to release soon. I apologize if this is inconvenient, but life happens when it is least expected....

[dougiefresh]

We will look into doing so, although right now, I can't promise a timetable on it....

No problem mate.

I`ll just have to make do with it saying Windows XP Professional Edition on my Windows XP x64 for the time being.

No problem, its not important. The other version does what I need, so all is well.

What's Changed in v2.2.0.3:
- Fixed each page so that the "/SILENT" switch works as expected.
- Copied bootscreens from batch versions and placed them in BOOT folder in GUI.
- Before patching starts, bootscreens from BOOT folder are copied to resources folder.
- Log file now shows minutes and seconds instead of total seconds as time completed.
- Fixed Repatcher so that correct page is called in order to build a list of files to patch.

What's Different Between v2.2.0.3 and v2.999.0.2:
- Translation code is enabled.

I'm sorry it took so long for this version to be released. Quite a few things have happened that this last two weeks, including a minor rewrite of the code because I found that certain things weren't happening when using the "/SILENT" switch. This should take care of the incorrect bootscreen issue that JAMIS246 found.

JAMIS246: This weekend, we've been working on the new logo for Windows XP x64. We're coming close, however, figuring out how to do so has been a major pain in the buttocks..... Once we're done, I'll try to write some new code into the GUI to allow it to detect XP x64....

No rush mate.

Thanks for the progress update.

Here's the closest I could come to something similar to the XP Professional Edition logo for x64...

Let me know what you think about it.

Hi dougiefresh

I've tested out your XP Professional Edition logo for x64 and it looks great but the shadow effects on the text looks a bit overdone and makes the text look a bit weird on the logon screen.

Can you make the text appear just normal with a slight bit of a shadow effect just like you did on the original one for Windows XP pro x86???

See the screenshot below of your original ive attached and compare it to your new one above and you should see whot i mean.

I wish I could claim credit for the original LogonUI.exe logos. Based on my discussion with Bober, I believe that the original logos were created by Stimpy. I'm literally trying to figure out how to recreate the entire logo based on the original logos, which is fustrating... especially since I'm just learning how to do this stuff.....

How is this version of the x64 logo?

I`ll test that out if you could post the logonui.exe res file again with the new bitmap in place???

Thank You!

[dougiefresh]

Sure! Download this res file: logonui.exe.res.7z

[JAMIS246]

Could you please post one last time but post one without the shadow effect for me to compare.

Thanks.

Okay. Here's the link: logonui.noshadow.res.7z
