dougiefresh Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) What's New in GUI version 1.1:- The ability to patch a Live System is now included!- Modified code so that sections needing patching will be built automatically!- Page 2 is now available (selection between Integration and Normal Install)- Page 3 is now 2 pages, one specifically for each mode.- Updated resources to match batch v1.1.- Included new XPSP1RES.DLL and APPMGR.DLL resources, found in post #1004.- Included resources with updated icons, found in post #1006.- Included new MSC files, found in post #1024.What Is Still Not Done:- Repatcher has not been written yet.- Uninstaller has not been written yet.- More error checking still needs to be written into the code.- Component selection code has not written (Is necessary for Repatcher!)- No shortcuts at this point....- Additional software is not installed via Live Patch mode.I've spent a good portion of my weekend trying to get the Live Patching code working correctly. It appears to be functional. I've run it on my system and it works for me. Please test it and let me know if you find anything that needs work! Thanks, everybody!Download Page Edited December 15, 2008 by dougiefresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougiefresh Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) I was looking on the net for something and found this. Is there any chance we could get something like this for the boot screen?Also, I was looking through the control panel applets and saw this:Isn't there supposed to be a graphic on the left-side? The other tab looks correct.... Edited December 14, 2008 by dougiefresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bober Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 argh more updates, ill do one last update ..maybe this week.dougie i think ure right, there is something wrong with the speech tab, im completely missing the tab in ure screenie.also super duper work on the live patching,ill try to have a test run in a VM.amnesia thx for all those updates!and about that nice bootscreen, i have no idea what the win 7 boot looks like but im thinking of maybe including it in the win 7 version of xptsp thta i will work on.

dougiefresh Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Bober: I did some research and realized something.... The boot screen image I posted is 24-bit. The logo needs to be 16-color. Reducing the image to 16 colors yields something very UGLY! So replacing the bootscreen with this is not realistic. Bummer.... :thumbsdown_anim: :crying_anim02: Link for Windows 7 boot screens for XP: http://www.askvg.com/download-windows-7-bo...for-windows-xp/JBE: I like some of the other screenies, but they are all contaminated by the "Microsoft Vista Ultimate Edition" wording.... Even if they weren't, I still couldn't use them for the boot screen. Now, the logon screen, sure! But not the boot screen.Everybody: During my testing, the boot screen resource files got moved/deleted. I forgot to re-include the boot screen resource files in the package, so the boot screen won't be patched through the GUI yet. Next version, definitely!

amnesia Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) dougie i think ure right, there is something wrong with the speech tab, im completely missing the tab in ure screenie.that's because U don't have "Microsoft English (U.S.) V6.1 Recognizer" from Office 2003 installed p.s. or SpeakQ (http://www.wordq.com/speakqenglish.html) Edited December 15, 2008 by amnesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
