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:

Well ive tested the XptspScriptLive with SfcEnabled . While patching the annoying dialogs shows up constantly. but in the end the patching still works. :). if anybody out there that has sfc enabled. test and confirm it please. Else it would just be my system doing its charm

i dont have a problem releasing my scripts. i already did with the XptspScript (Source Patcher). its just right now i dont feel like i should.

Amnesia: You have a PM waiting for you regarding GUI source... Thanks!

Regarding copy process, evidentally my computer and VM don't want to cooperate doing "simple copies". I've had to jump through hoops, trying to get it working properly.

im sure that the script patches the resources and the msc are just being replaced. the script just copy the files in the appropriate directory

Edit: when i say replace, i mean that the file must exist before there, this is in the script because i dont want to add files that i took out prior to the clean install of windows

about sfc and replacing files :

replacing the files in dll cache might not be enough, i have seen windows get a copy from the cabbed sp?.cab file in i386 temp in windows dir.

so one might want to even delete that cab file ...then replace the ddl cache files then rename the original file from within their original paths,then copy over the edited files.(thing is to do a clean job, the files might be in palce but the renamed fiels are still in use byt system handles or what ever, so uppon reboot at runonce, we would have to delete those renamed files)(or would a simple kill of explorer work? i dunno, but i think a closer look at the repalcer script might be of help, if not simply using it, i belive adding the list of system files to be replaced to a text file will get picked up by the script if its in the same dir...here is a sample of that script:

 :sys Get system file
cls&set "sys="
call:say Message GetSys
call:say Message KeyEnt
call:say Message OrQuit
call:get sys||goto:sys
call:quo sys
if /i %sys%=="Q" call:brk Now
if %sys:\=%==%sys% (
if not %sys:.=%==%sys% (
call:scn %sys%))
if defined pth (
for %%* in (%sys%) do (
set sys="%pth%%%~nx*"))
call:chk %sys%||(
call:say Message KeyCon
pause>nul
goto:sys)
for %%* in (%sys%) do (
if /i "%%~x*"==".txt" ( <<<this is what i mean
find/i ";; ReplacerScript" %%*>nul&&(
call:scr %%* )))
call:ver %sys%||goto:sys

(about the sp?.cab,the system might get its drivers from that,when adding new hardware)so then we should rename this cab, do our replacements,then revert back to the old name once were sure the system has finished complaining.but this is only on system that have ben updated with a service pack...so us rvm users/nlite might not have this situation..this might explain why things might work for some and not for other(live patching-wise))

ill try and read the last post/pages and give some insight if i can.

(if some of you ahvint noticed i have stepped down from the project, but still itend to help out when i can, 1st post and releases will still get updated by fixit(thx))

Windows has a feature that, when properly manipulated, will move files at system restart. INF files can make use of it easily, but AutoIt scripts have a little harder time (no sarcasm) with it as we must add to the string as we go. I have not gotten NTOSKRNL.EXE to be replaced by this mechanism, nor a "simple" file move/copy.

If Windows is pulling from Driver.CAB/SP?.CAB, then that would explain why replacing NTOSKRNL.EXE is being a witch..... When I get home from work today, I'll give it your suggestion a try, utilizing the above mechanism to put the cab file back to it's original name. Thanks for the tip, Bober! Wish me luck!

EDIT: Will replacer work?..... I don't know. I doubt it for this particular problem.

I'm running RyanVM Post-SP3 Update Pack v1.0.2 on both my real system and my virtual machine.

EDIT2: This last weekend, I've felt like throwing the machine out the window. My patience has gotten thin with the bootscreen problem..... Maybe all I need is a break.... Sleep doesn't help, it just gives me energy to try more things....

ill try n do some tests and find a fail safe way to replace files.

btw, ive manualy replace the nt kernels by hand no batches or scripts,so i dont understand why ure having problems.

dougie, did you try the replacer script?im planning to take a crack at it and see if i cant do something with it.

What's Changed in GUI v1.4.0.2:

- Bootscreen installation successful!

- Added hex-edit to SP3 version SETUPAPI.DLL to fix battery prompt during setup.

- Fixed "/PASSIVE" switch so that it doesn't hang upon execution.

- Added timer so that user can see how long it took to patch the system.

- Added section to XPtsp.ini for SETUPAPI.DLL patching.

- Rebooting is OPTIONAL again. Option whether or not to reboot is given.

- Explorer is not killed at ANY point during the patching.

- "/REBOOT" switch added to force rebooting the system after patching is complete.

- "/NOREBOOT" switch added to force no reboot after patching is complete.

nice bmpS amnesia

edit:

ok so i was reading back and saw this:

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...

and i could have sworn the output was gibberish, this change was done a long time ago and im prety sure it had to be done in order to have a clean patch...but i could be wrong....but i dunno...i wouldint have added it for nothing lol

also about the setuapi.dll and sfc patched syssetup.dll (if what i understand is correct on that website ):

000456C7: 74 EB // Disable error messages in Setupapi.log and pop-up driver install dialogs with patched syssetup.dll.....

so wouldint sfc patching be mandatory?

that looks pretty sweet fixit.. The blue one I think is too blue for me, but the black is neutral enough to work. I like the purple one too, I would use that on some ladies comps if some of the obvious problems were taken care of. but all in all, that's some amazing stuff!
