    WPI v8.0.3

    Make a file "cleanup.cmd" and call it last from WPI.

    I use the following code in my cleanup:

    DEL /F /S /Q "%Temp%\*.*"
    DEL /F /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\*.*"
    RD /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\"

    mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\"

    I'll do another integration just to make sure I didn't do something stupid. I'll send you the file it's choking on.

    OK, now it's choking on a different file. :confused02: It's been hung for about 10 min on that one file.

    SPRC041D.dll

    All GUI settings at defaults this time.

    You got PM.

    I used the Green theme (fresh download) with 3.0.0.11, and I can confirm rr650's post that the task manager issue #3 still exists. I did NOT try any other theme (my personal choice).

    BUT, the logon/logoff screen bug is now gone! :thumbsup_anim:

    *Edit

    Currently testing the Green theme with the Neon extras. I'll report back when done.

    Incidentally, in testing on my MCE source, leaving all GUI settings at defaults, the process will freeze during integration at SPxx416xxx.dll (can't remember the name of the file.)

    Disabling the translating options works fine.

    *Edit 2

    testing the Green theme with the Neon extras also fails the task manager portion. :(

    Thanks. I'll give this a shot.

    Also, I just noticed that a bunch of files are getting dumped to the root of %systemdrive% during integration. I'm not sure how long they've been there or what version started doing it.

    I've already deleted them but I should have taken a screen shot first. I'll see if 3.0.10 solves it first though. :)

    *Edit

    Here's what I'm talking about (3.0.0.10 used, Win7 x64 host).

    The Real Story of Bottled Water Vs Tap Water

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    100% true! I'm lucky that where I live the tap water is absolutely delicious.

    The first time my parents came to visit, they asked for some water. So I went to the fridge and grabbed a 1L bottle I had prefilled earlier from the tap.

    They said "wow, this brand doesn't taste like the one we get at home; it's better". I said "that's because it's from the tap. :)

    OK, quick question on 3.0.0.9. On the "Additional Options" step, "Misc" tab; "Enable Resource Translation" option is now greyed out on my XP Pro ENU. Not really a problem since I was disabling that option (English-only sources), but the checkbox is checked and I can't un-check it now. Is this by design? Thanks for all the hard work so far (and the work to come).

    *Edit,

    In fact, ALL the options are greyed out on that "Misc" tab...

    Just tested 3.0.0.8 on a fresh XP Pro build and the login screen says Windows XP Home! :crying_anim02:

    I'll delete all my theme files and try again with fresh downloads.

    *Edit

    Confirmed.

    Pro source results in a "Home" logon/logoff screen.

    Testing with an MCE build works perfectly fine.

    Testing with a Home build works perfectly fine.
