Legolash2o

I know, can someone try using wimgapi and wimfilters from Vista SP1?

try the latest build here.

The program freezes? I think I know what it is now. I will fix it when I get home from work.

I meant the RC version of WAIK, but I think it's WIndows 7. It works great on some builds but yet works crap on others. It's strange.

Thanks, but its a broken link lol

A)I get the discarding error too, hopefully there will be a new WAIK RC for Win 7 so i use updated WimFltrs and wimgapi. B)Description problem has already been fixed in my latest build C)This is easily possible, i will see what i can do

Just a note... Users who use file hosting sites like RapidShare, i can not add those addons to the Addon list within W7T, as it can only work with direct links. So if you can use FTP or anything that can provide a direct link then that would be great. If you do not have access to anything like that then just continue using RapidShare, etc... Thanks. Lego

His version is newer and i don't mind, if someone wants to make newer versions of MY (Legolash2o) addons then go ahead, but that does not mean you can "clone" other users addons Saves me time because i don't have to update mine and it also helps users how to make addons

I have decided to remove the irrelevant posts from this topic.

Ok, let's end the arguing please. Please stay on topic. EDIT: Removed irrelevant posts.

Looks good!

I agree, please do not copy/convert/clone, etc.. anyone else's work, if you wish to do so then please ask them if you can first bearing in mind that if they say no, you cannot copy it. If someone has released an addon which has been copied and the original creator contacts me to remove it, i will. Thanks @Back on topic Nice addon, sorry i have not been replying much been very ill lol. Nice work as usual Reaper.

Updated to 3.0.8

Hello again, I have some great news for you! Today i announce to you 4 new tools: WIM Tweaker (now works with the actual wim) OS Tweaker (tweaks current OS) ISO Maker Addon Maker, yes you read correctly! Improved Coding I've done a bit of improvements to code, the one you would most probably notice is when adding lots of files to the Addon Integrator, before it just hanged until it was completed, but now you see each one being added as well as telling you which one is it working on and how many is left to do. Adding Addons to the list is now a lot more smoother! Addon Integrator As above, the Addon Maker has been completed and... fully working (it was very simple really), there are some useful shortcuts like when adding a file to the Copy File list, it will ask you where these files need to go and if its a Start Menu item you can just simply type in %StartMenu%. Addon Integrator now adds things to the list a lot quicker as mentioned above. Tweaks OS Tweaker and WIM Tweaker have been finished and just need to add more tweaks, they are both the same program except that there is a check (auto) if its going to the WIM or not and will apply the tweaks as necessary. Improvements Just checkout the change log Testing/Fixing There was one annoying bug where you can keep adding Addons from the download list to the download queue (fixed). General W7T 0.1.3 is amazing, fast (with build 7068 it instantly mounts images), and best of all stable. I would like to thank my Alpha Testers for doing a brilliant job, very also agree that it is stable Public Alpha W7T is now at the stage where if anyone wants to test the latest, they can do. Just send me a PM and i will provide you will a link to the download. If you encounter any bugs PLEASE PM me.

Hello again, time for some more news! Improved Coding Haven't really done much in this area, nothing much to report. Just did a tiny amount of code cleanup. I and also the alpha testers have noticed pretty much instant image mounting in build 7068 so that's good! Addon Integrator The Addon Integrator now lets you specify which build the addon is for, this is really useful for if you patch system files which and you don't want your users using a patch for 7057 on build 7068 which may damage the system. The Addon Integrator now also lets you specify a website within the tasks.txt so when users double click the addon whilst it is in the list, it will open the website using the default browser. Tweaks Added lots more tweaks have been added, and some general improvements in that area. Improvements Done quite a lot of improvements. *Double clicking items in lists now downloads them *Addon Integrator now lets you specify website in addons *Addon Integrator now lets you make build specific addons *If there is only one image to choose from it will automatically highlight it *Driver Integrator will not be shown if W7T does not detect Dism.exe in system32 Testing/Fixing Some fixes too. *FIX: Main form disappears clicking cancel when choosing download location *FIX: Some images did not work correctly with WIM Manager *FIX: Driver Integrator now integrates correctly *FIX: Item add count when adding files in the MSU to CAB Converter General W7T is just getting better and better, its certainly stable! Its running smooth and cool Im still on the hunt for bugs even small bugs. Don't forget there is still 3 alpha testers places remaining. Oh, sometimes the WIM Manager did not list images i.e. Vista SP2 pre-integrated, apparently its working now due to a big improvement in the way the WIM Manager gets values from the WIM Change Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *FEATURE: WIM Splitter *FEATURE: WIM Tweaker Tool (currently hidden) *FIX: Main form disappears clicking cancel when choosing download location *FIX: Some images did not work correctly with WIM Manager *FIX: Driver Integrator now integrates correctly *FIX: When W7T was maximized, the buttons on Addons and DriverPacks got too big *FIX: "More Info" not working on some lists *FIX: Item add count when adding files in the MSP Extractor list *FIX: Item add count when adding files in the MSU to CAB Converter *FIX: CAB Retriever just did not work *FIX: Vista SP2 list now displays descriptions *Double clicking items in lists now downloads them *Addon Integrator now lets you specify website in addons *Addon Integrator now lets you make build specific addons *If there is only one image to choose from it will automatically highlight it *Driver Integrator will not be shown if W7T does not detect Dism.exe in system32 *Added filter on Tools Manager *Separated Ultimate Extras in Vista SP2 list *Allowed resize of main form *Forms are less transparent by default *Service Packs are display at top Vista SP2 list *Descriptions were not appearing properly or not at all on some items *Improved code for opening programs *Download files into separate folders (Download Queue) *Improved status information on MSP Extractor *Cleanup tool has been updated Update All settings are saved in a file so all your changes will not be saved and W7T is now portable

Requirements: 7zip I recommend using InstallWatch as it records what new registry entries there is and also which files have been modified. Every .WA needs a tasks.txt file within it so W7T knows what to do with it, an example is below: Make a folder i.e. D:\Addon Step 1: Tasks.txt Name=Mozilla Firefox Creator=Legolash2o Version=3.0.6 Arc=x86 Description=Open Source internet browser. [CopyFolder] Mozilla Firefox::Program Files [CopyFile] Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Name This is the name of the program or addon Creator Your name or the maker of the addon Version The version of the program/addon you are making Arc Which version of the program you are making their are only 3 choices x86 - These addon will work on both x86 and x64 images, if it is integrated into x64 it will put the files in folders like "Program Files (x86)" or "SysWOW64". x86! - x86 only x64 - x64 only Build (Optional) This will only let you install the addon on certain versions of windows i.e. 7068. This is useful for patches like Themes. Build=7000! *Build 7000 only Build=7000 *Build 7000 or newer Website (Optional) When the addon is double clicked in the list, it will open the website specified Step 2: Copying Folders [CopyFolder] Mozilla Firefox::Program Files This is easy... name of folder::where to put it Mozilla Firefox will be copied into Program Files folder. Put Mozilla Firefox folder in your root addon folder (D:\Addon) Step 3: Copying Files [CopyFile] Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Put Mozilla Firefox.lnk in your root addon folder (D:\Addon) Also easy.... name of file including extension (.exe, .lnk, whatever):: folder to put it in Firefox links will be copied to both Desktop and Start Menu Step 3: Registry Entries Just simply copy the exported .reg file into the root folder of the addon (D:\Addon) Note: You may want to clean the registry file and remove entries like your name, serial codes, temp stuff like MuiCache and sometimes there is a really long entry and i mean long, remove that too! Normal Registry File Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=dword:00000001 Delete Key (Note they hyphen (-) before HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=dword:00000001 Delete Value (Note the hyphen (-) after the equals sign(=)) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=- Step 4: Creating the addon file (.WA) Using the example above you should have something similar to... D:\Addon D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox\ (with firefox files within it) D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox.lnk (shortcut) D:\Addon\Tasks.txt D:\Addon\Example.reg (optional) Simply highlight all the files in the folder, right-click, 7zip > Add to Archive Once its open change .7z to .WA make sure its on Ultra compression and click OK Tasks.txt Example 7zip x64 Name=7-zip Creator=Legolash2o Version=4.65 Arc=x64 Description=7-Zip is an open source file archiver designed originally for Microsoft Windows. Blah. [CopyFolder] 7-Zip::Program Files [CopyFile] 7-Zip File Manager.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs 7zip x86 only Name=7-zip Creator=Legolash2o Version=4.65 Arc=x86! Description=7-Zip is an open source file archiver designed originally for Microsoft Windows. Blah. [CopyFolder] 7-Zip::Program Files [CopyFile] 7-Zip File Manager.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Crap Cleaner for both x64 and x86 Name=Crap Cleaner Creator=Legolash2o Version=2.18.878 Arc=x86 Description=Cleans all the crap on the computer [CopyFolder] CCleaner::Program Files [CopyFile] CCleaner.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Notes When it comes to the "Description" in tasks.txt it can only be one line, it can not be multiple lines. For example: This program has the following features: *blah *blah *blah The Addon Integrator will only display "This program has the following features:"

CODE That seems to fit perfectly for me, maybe you have something like noscript or maybe its just your browser, if its IE8 try compatibility view

Good idea, closing topic as i think we have enough tweaks for a lifetime Excellent work!

No probs! You have done very well though

Menu items and everything seemed to have loaded fine, couldn't do a full test tho EDIT: Although your .reg file works, you could have removed any temp values i.e.MuiCache, etc.. but i've cleaned it for you

Nice one, you did not have to include the "Bitlord Files" folder though with the 3 shortcuts, i will test it and if it works i will add it to the Addon List in W7T Weldone

Alpha testers wanted! Requirements: Windows Live Messenger, using Windows 7 (preferably) or Vista. Amount of testers needed: 3 places remaining Task: Test W7T as thoroughly as they can, looking for even the most smallest things which could be better/fixed. Just send me a PM with your WLM address. Thanks

WIM Splitter, split your images into multiple swm files for so you can use CDs. Yep I know RC is planned for May which is a long way away, but i am planning on doing a lot of work to it, mostly fixes and improvements. When the Win 7 RC comes out i will have hoped to have done WIM Tweaker Tool, ISO Maker, a lot of code enhancements. All the stuff in the change log above was done just this morning alone. I may release it earlier than May depending on if i feel that its ready as the last few releases have been a bit buggy because i never did any testing so i will be doing quite alot for this release. Any questions?

Hey everyone, here's an update of what's been done so far and a little sneak peek of what's in v1.3.0 so far. I am going to use the categories in the first post and tell you what i have done so far in those area. Improved Coding I have made it simpler and tidier when opening external programs like 7z and vLite. Addon Integrator I have removed the addons that do not work with 1.2.0 from the addons forum, so far i have not done much in this area. Tweaks Ah, i have added the tweaks forum and the tweaks i have added so far are working and apply to the current installation of windows, it will require little work for me to get it working on WIM images too. Improvements Quite a few. I am looking at my program searching for the most littlest things which i think need updating. I am still doing this at the current moment, looking at all the tools and features! I have added the ability to select the option to download files into separate folders depending on the category of the specific file. Also on the Tools Manager you can select "Basic", "Average" or "Advanced" filters, so you don't get confused as easily Basic Average Advanced Testing/Fixing I have done quite a lot of fixing this morning, found problems with descriptions either not showing up or not showing up properly (fixed) and clicking More Info on some lists just did not work (fixed). General At the current time i am focusing on Fixes and Improvements, the next release of W7T is definitely going to be a BIG release! unfortunately i will not be releasing any alpha versions of the program to the public. Expect this to be released around the time Windows 7 RC is released. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Change log (so far) *FEATURE: WIM Splitter *FEATURE: WIM Tweaker Tool *Added filter on Tools Manager *Separated Ultimate Extras in Vista SP2 list *FIX: When W7T was maximized, the buttons on Addons and DriverPacks got too big *Allowed resize of main form *Forms are less transparent by default *Service Packs are display at top Vista SP2 list *FIX: "More Info" not working on some lists *Descriptions were not appearing properly or not at all on some items *Vista SP2 list now displays descriptions *Improved code for opening programs *Download files into separate folders (Download Queue) *Improved status information on MSP Extractor *FIX: Item add count when adding files in the MSP Extractor list *FIX: CAB Retriever just did not work *Cleanup tool has been updated ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will be keeping this topic up-to-date as possible, so stay tuned!
