:welcome:

yes, soon we will release in which this problem will be resolved, perhaps tomorrow I do not know, I had already done today, but the win2k3 update pack to me at all times.

...Looking forward to the corrected pack before rolling out any machines that use it... :prop:

Thanks!

Well, I'm checking TXTSETUP.SIF to see if I can find "Home Edition" or "Professional" in the file. If I find "Professional", I check for MEDIACTR.CAB as my check for "Media Center". It just struck me that those strings are probably localized for each language and these strings work only for English versions of XP....

FWIW...you might consider checking: "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Pid" ....if that would help out....

Well, I already started to make backups more often, now in daily manner Not an easy and quick task, about 500MB in zip file

...not that I am pushing a product but, try out "Drive Snapshot" (a drive/partition/volume imaging tool)...."very" small footprint and "very" fast and runs from within the OS (or from a boot disk)....uses VSS so "hot" images can executed. Images are mountable for individual file recovery or are restorable for complete drive/partition/volume recovery). Multiple GB imaging/backup in 5 - 20 minutes...we image our data drives - 4 drives @ 100 GB each in 18 minutes per drive (or volume if you prefer...).

We typically install the OS twice on different partitions thus, we can perform system maintenence - including system volume restores - from within a Windows XP or 2K3 environment...thus, no "boot disk" required....

...just some thoughts to make life....well, faster....

@bober

I have not had the time to try this out yet (but I will !!!)...just curious but, how would one handle downstream MS updates that replace your patched resources...?

Do (or could you) you have a "reloader" type of function similar to XPize...?

Thanks for your efforts !!! :prop:
