Thx

I still don't have access to the staff forum

Hi there,

I'm trying to make my own theme patcher based on this one, for french version. I just saw some strang things in sysdm.cpl.res: all resource that are not modified in this file should not be included. Same thing applies to every other resources files, but I can't check them all.

Here is the modified version

Kal

EDIT : in resource Dialog 101, I don't like the : "Customized By:/XP-tsp Version:". We know you want to be famous, but comon, it doesn't really look professional :pirate:

Hi OnePiece & kontini,

Thanks for the answer. First, I just discovered that my iepid.exe is completely useless. See my post.

Anyway, I know that some CLSID are overrided by IE7 update.inf, like these ones :

;   ActiveSetup Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.0 Registration
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}",,,"%ASETUP_BASE_DESC%"
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}","ComponentID",,"BASEIE40_W2K"

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}","Locale",,"%ASETUP_LOCALE%"
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}","StubPath",0x00020000,"%SystemRoot%\system32\ie4uinit.exe"
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}","Version",,"6,0,2900,5512"

So no problem for these. But, for those that I posted above, they are not overrided! So if we don't include them in our ie.inf, they're gone. Example, in ie.inf, CLSID_USP10 = {3bf42070-b3b1-11d1-b5c5-0000f8051515}. Search for this CLSID in IE7 update.inf and you won't find anything.

About "cosmetic", they're not Windows version. Windows XP SP3 version is : 5.1.2600. You can launch a cmd session to get it. IE6 version is 6,0,2900,5512, and IE7 is 7,0,5730,0 or 7,0,5730,13 (need to check further). And IE4Shell_ID should be IE4Shell_NT, or if you have a reason for using IE4Shell_ID I would appreciate to know it.

Cheers and regards,

Kal

Hi there,

I finished to create my IE7 addon for French source, based on OnePiece one. While I was making it, I pointed some registry entries that OnPiece added/removed without any particular reason. Here is the list :

Bien sur, nous sommes tr

Updated. Coded a little utility (chgpath.exe) to modify PATH during installation and uninstallation. No ExtraFileEdits required anymore. So this AddOn is now completely compatible with RVMi and nLite (no more non ascii characters corrupted).

Here is the source, in Delphi, of chgpath.exe : ChgPath-0.1.0-src.7z

Will, I guess it's not possible to replace default defragmenter in Windows Disk Management...

I just realised some things keeping me from succesfully installing this inf with advpack.dll.

If I run CopyFiles in the section executed by advpack.dll, like this :

[Version]

Signature=$Windows NT$

[Optional Components]

Unix

[DefaultInstall]

CopyFiles = InfFile.Files

RegisterDLLs = AdvancedInstall

[unix]

OptionDesc = %UnixDisplayName%

Tip = "Gnu Unix Utilities AddOn By Kal"

Modes = 0,1,2,3

RegisterDLLs = AdvancedInstallOC

[AdvancedInstall]

11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %1%\%MAIN_INF%,Install"

[AdvancedInstallOC]

11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %MAIN_INF%,Install"

[install]

RunPostSetupCommands = Run.Add.Path:1

CopyFiles = Unix.Files,Wgetrc.Files

AddReg = Unix.AddReg

[sourceDisksNames.x86]

1="Unix Files",%MAIN_CAB%,,"i386"

That won't work during Windows installation. Indeed, it will look for cab file in %SystemRoot\Inf\i386 (from where INF is launched).

So that's how it needs to be writted :

[Version]

Signature=$Windows NT$

[Optional Components]

Unix

[DefaultInstall]

CopyFiles = InfFile.Files

CopyFiles = Unix.Files,Wgetrc.Files

AddReg = Unix.AddReg

RegisterDLLs = AdvancedInstall

[unix]

OptionDesc = %UnixDisplayName%

Tip = "Gnu Unix Utilities AddOn By Kal"

Modes = 0,1,2,3

CopyFiles = Unix.Files,Wgetrc.Files

AddReg = Unix.AddReg

RegisterDLLs = AdvancedInstallOC

[AdvancedInstall]

11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %1%\%MAIN_INF%,Install"

[AdvancedInstallOC]

11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %MAIN_INF%,Install"

[install]

RunPostSetupCommands = Run.Add.Path:1

[sourceDisksNames.x86]

1="Unix Files",%MAIN_CAB%,,"i386"

Moreover, I just discovered that OptionDesc, Tip and Modes directives are only used by Option Components. So no need to put them in DefaultInstall.

Thanks Rick, your help is still appreciated

I need to launch a program that I've just coded, to change path keeping %SystemDrive% value in it. It can also remove a directory from path.

; after installation
[Unix.Add.Path]
%11%\%UNIXPATH%\chgpath.exe add %%SystemRoot%%\System32\%UNIXPATH%

; before uninstallation
[Unix.Remove.Path]
%11%\%UNIXPATH%\chgpath.exe remove %%SystemRoot%%\System32\%UNIXPATH%

Thanks LUZR4LIFE for pointing my double CopyFiles

Kal

Hi,

I've tried to launch advpack.dll through Optional Components, like this:

[Version]
Signature=$Windows NT$

[Optional Components]
Unix

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles	 = InfFile.Files
RegisterDLLs  = LaunchAdvancedInstall

[Unix]
RegisterDLLs  = LaunchAdvancedInstall

[LaunchAdvancedInstall]
11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %1%\%MAIN_INF%,Install"

[Install]
OptionDesc			   = %UnixDisplayName%
Tip					  = "Gnu Unix Utilities AddOn By Kal"
Modes					= 0,1,2,3
RunPostSetupCommands	 = Unix.Add.Path:1
CopyFiles				= InfFile.Files
CopyFiles				= Unix.Files,Wgetrc.Files
AddReg				   = Unix.AddReg

But it doesn't seem to work when it's installed with SYSOC. On a running windows, it works. Have I made a mistake ?

Cheers,

Kal

Gnu Unix AddOn Utilities v0.1.1

I'm a linux experienced user. When I'm on Windows, I really miss all those utilities that are grep, sed, sort, tail, head, find ... So I decided to make an AddOn with all common Gnu Unix utilities.

Info:

• Add %SystemRoot%\System32\GnuWin32 to PATH variable
  
• All these programs has been renamed to avoid confusion with their Windows equivalent :
  
  • expand.exe -> gexpand.exe
    
  • find.exe -> gfind.exe
    
  • lpr.exe -> glpr.exe
    
  • sort.exe -> gsort.exe
    
  • date.exe -> gdate.exe
    
  • rmdir.exe -> grmdir.exe
    
  • mkdir.exe -> gmkdir.exe
    
  • echo.exe -> gecho.exe
    

  [*]Uninstallable

  [*]chgpath.exe included to modify PATH variable

Supported Languages: English, French. (Just for translation in Add/Remove program manager)

Hehe, feel free to include in your addon my improvements if you wish

Kal

Arg, next time I should try Search function

By the way, your AddOn doesn't include French translation for Uninstall entry in Add/Remove manager, and it sets english as default language for JkDefrag GUI. So, even if I've found yours before, I should make this one to make it intertionalized

Cheers!

JkDefrag GUI AddOn v0.1.1

Info:

• Add shortcut for JkDefrag GUI to Control Panel.
  
• Add a menu entry to right click on Hard Disk to Defragment.
  
• It replaces default defragmenter, but DOES NOT ovrewrite it, it just uses a reg tweak for this. Default defragmenter is still accessible through start menu.
  
• Default screensaver is set to JkDefrag screensaver. This one, after it ends defragmentation, will launch default Windows sccreensaver : logo.scr.
  
• Uninstallable
  

Supported Languages: English, French. (Feel free to ask a language support if JkDefrag GUI support this language).

Kal's Sweet Utils AddOn v0.1.0

Info: Kal's Sweet Utils is a collection of system utilities, inspired of Kel's CPL AIO AddOn. I added some common tools, such as CmdOpen and GoRC. The reason I made this one is because Kel's CPL AddOn is not internationalised (no French language support) and it comes with a lot of tools I don't need. So I made mine

Supported Languages: English, French.

Good to know!

Thanks

Thanks for this post, really cool

What does the flag "No GrpConv" do? What does it hide?

Thanks for this layout Rick

What does mean "Cleanup =1"?

Thanks a lot rick for this AddOn : it works like a charm. Automatically in French

You made a nice job!

Kal

Is the asms folder supposed to be in the package?

edit:d'oh

anyway, is it safe to delete the 5mb folder?

No, it's not safe. The "open command promp right clik" won't work.

Kal

Thanks a lot for this solution, I had the same issue

thanks

Updated!
