    mind U "VISO.Live" does simple moving-copying on da in-use all the time (not an advertisement)

    Autoit should be able to do da same (note to myself: learn the autoit script, it's good for me. yep, fresh cup of script in the morning :)

    2 Autoit people

    are U locking yer scripts ? not nice... U make me do an extra step to read-learn yer scripts (oh yeah, i can send yours with funny comments ;)

    p.s. SFC, WFP, Recycle Bin and System Restore are evil :evil:

    I tried those same lines when I was building the live installer and came to the conclusion that they only work on a system with the SFC already installed. (Conclusion supported by research into those settings...) Some of those settings are useless without an immediate reboot, something I know you don't want to do before starting to patch files. Others are useless without the SFC patch installed.

    true, registry patching alone is not enough

    Also, you'll probably also get the pleasure of trying to replace in-use files. Research "replacing files in-use" for your answer. I had to, as a precaution. Turns out I REALLY needed it.

    moving and copying works in windows, while i was typing this, i've moved shell32.dll to C:\ and copied back

    (am i out of touch with reality? maybe...) (me feeling lost and stupid now, thank-you) :crying_anim02:

    EDIT: Oh yeah, I've already found out that while I can patch the NTKRNLPA.exe and NTOSKRNL.exe files, I can't seem to be able to move them into place using the "replace files in-use" method, or by direct copying. Probably because the kernel can't replace itself while it's in use..... How Windows Update does it is beyond me!

    kernel is in use during boot ? (me just deleted NTKRNLPA.exe and NTOSKRNL.exe and start to panic. how am i going to boot?

    voice of Smart Guy in my head just told me "U would never reboot without a CD"... i should have save those files... oh, i did ;)

    chorus: "it's a kinda magic"

    (me feeling better now, thanks, to the Beer :)

    - I'm using this batch and after fresh install I'm getting that "Hardware update wizard" window right from

    the first boot looking for Plug and Play driver ???

    sounds familiar ?

    guys at http://forum.oszone.net/showthread.php?p=1012184#post1012184

    have found a solution (Disable error messages in Setupapi.log and pop-up driver install dialogs with patched syssetup.dll)

    SETUPAPI.DLL Ver. 5.1.2600.5512

    needs hex change at

    000456C7: 74 to EB

    amnesia: Good question. Since I started developing the GUI, the batch file has always done it this way. I don't understand why, but that would be why RisingXun is getting a corrupted file without these lines.... I do this way because that is the way the batch file does it. I would redirect this question to Bober for further info....

    well, it's funny, cause VISO Live and original V'ISO never used delete command on logonui without problems.

    i just tested-patched original logonui again (with mine and XPtsp logonui.exe.res), seems fine without -delete...

    If someone doesn't mind bringing it up to speed in a few lines, I'd appreciate it, it's an awesome patch!!!

    Just a FYI why I quoted the above, just one of the update posts I didn't understand :confused02:

    _Update.01.11.09.7z (74 .res files + 2 .msc files in \Extra folder)

    meaning updated resources (new bitmaps, icons and some dialogs in .res files).

    - U can add these files to the batch version of XPtsp (\Resources folder) with WinRar.

    - or, to update a live system > extract XPtsp to a folder, add-overwrite updated .res files to the \Resources folder and .msc to the \Extra folder. add batches from VISO.Live.2.7 and start "1Copy.bat".

    After patching, system will restart ...

    is there a possible way to remove them permanently? its quite confusing specially you really have unknown devices you might overlook or think those drivers that your going install doesnt work anymore.

    to remove them permanently U'll have to rightclick on devmgmt.msc, compmgmt.msc, choose Author.

    in the applet, from the menu>View>uncheck "Show Hidden Devices", close the applet and say Yes to save changes.

    btw these r not unknown, but NonPlugNPlay and what U call confusing is informative to others :)

    U can use attached ones without hidden devices shown.
