    XPtsp GUI v3.0.0.26 - February 27, 2012

    in XP Theme Source Patcher

    Yup, the wmp11ext.inf is somehow being broken.

    None of the files in the section WMPlayer.Copy are extracted from wmp11.cab to the correct destination.

    INF clipped to relevant sections:


    [SourceDisksNames.x86]
    1 = "Windows Media Player Files",wmp11.cab,,I386

    [DestinationDirs]
    WMPlayer.Copy = 16422,%WMPFOLDER%

    [WMPlayer.Copy]
    wmdbexport.exe
    wmlaunch.exe
    wmpenc.exe
    wmpnetwk.exe
    wmpnscfg.exe
    wmpnssci.dll
    wmpshare.exe
    wmsetsdk.exe
    LegitLibM.dll
    eula.txt

    [Strings]
    WMPFOLDER = "Windows Media Player"

    *Edit

    I just noticed you updated the GUI to 2.0.1.2. I'll download that and try it to see if it's fixed.

    *Edit 2

    Nope, 2.0.1.2 still has the problem. :(

    The command that seems to be the cause of the problem is contained in wmp.inf

    [Run.PUI]

    "%16422%\%MP2_FOLDER%\WMPEnc.exe /RegServer"

    But I'm at a loss as to what's actually causing the problem. It seems to be referenced correctly. :?

    Unless it needs a double-quote (because of the double string usage) like this line:

    """%16422%\%MP2_FOLDER%\WMPNetwk.exe"" install"

    *Edit

    Well that didn't work! :(

    Adding the double quotes only changed the error text. The file is still not being found because it doesn't exist.

    I imagine that the file-copy process for some wmp11 files is being broken along the way somewhere.

    CMD script not working - FOR issue?

    MSFN has an excellent resource on ROE.

    Dark madness is right. You need to declare the number order


    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Alcohol 120" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\alcohol\setup.exe /qn" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\alcohol\register.reg" /f

    Sweet! I'll get to testing this right away!

    Incidentally, the corrupted setup.exe tends to resolve itself once I reboot the host system. It's probably a glitch with Win7 since I run the GUI with "run as admin" under a normal user acct.

    *Edit

    LOL, the download speed bug is back. :) This while downloading a fresh copy of "green.7z" from the new GUI.

    I know for a fact my download speed is capped at 1100kb/sec (speedtest).

    *Edit 2

    Still failed with the same advanced .inf failure as before. :(

    Testing with Home now.

    Oh, I just noticed you're from India. Ooh, it gets hot depending on your region. My favorite is Madras. :D

    Passive cooling won't be good enough if your ambient temp is high. Water cooling might be your best option. Using an external vented reservoir along with a massive radiator with slow moving fans would be an ideal option. The only problem is cost. A good kit will cost between USD$150-300 depending on the components. But will be damn near silent.

    Any card with a passive heatsink would be ideal. Anything above a HD4xxx series would run a bit hot. I have an HD3450 I use for DriverPacks testing and it runs fine. Newer cards have a built-in HDMI port which is ideal for HTPC builds.

    Are you looking to buy or asking for donations? Your OP is a little confusing.
