What file did you edit in order to change the "Install Windows" and "Checking Performance" screen?

sorry for the late reply it is the

spwizimg.dll file

[sp00f]

Edited mine to, but no popup like that.

[radigast]

google "shell32.dll, -21799". This should give you some more info...

spwizimg.dll is located in 5 places on an extracted WinVista SP1 cd:

1. ".\Sources\"
2. In install.wim - "%windir%\System32\"
3. In install.wim - "%windir%\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-s..on-wizard-framework....6.0.6000.16386_none_b652e536179397f"
4. In install.wim - "%windir%\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-s..on-wizard-framework....6.0.6001.18000_none_b41c233a548e28ab"
5. "\.Sources\Support\MIGWIX"

I've edited the appropriate .bmp resources in EVERY spwizimg.dll in ALL locations using reshack, and none of the install screen .bmps are changing. I've made sure that the .bmp files I am using to replace are the EXACT same resolution as the ones ialready in the .dll file.

Are there any more copies that also need to get edited? What program are you using to edit and replace .bmps in the .dll file? You are replacing them with 24-bit .bmps, right? Did you do anything special to get the images to appear?\

Change only this one :

2. In install.wim - "%windir%\System32\"

I have changed this one, and only ever see my images after the computer has restarted and begins reading off the hard drive. I want to see them both when Vista installs from the DVD and when it restarts and finishes installing off my hard drive.

Where are the ones that are read off of the DVD during the install? I have scoured boot.wim, but that doesn't have spwizimg.dll.

[Buster67]

To change edition name you have to edit the basebrd.dll this can be found in the install.wim
You have to mount your wim file first.

Mount\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US\basebrd.dll.mui

Did you edit the files in the .wim files ?

s dude.....i mounted that file....and changed other files like welcome center, imageres.dll.....like that....but i cannot able to change the windows edition name which is appearing system properties...and not in login screen......i want to change only in system properties....by the way tell me....which file i have to modify to change the setup background image.....?....Thanx in advance...

[Buster67]

To modify the background image you have to edit the spwizimg.dll file this file is in four different places.

They are at the root of your disk in boot.wim & install.wim

1.@ the root of your disk is Support\migwiz\spwizimg.dll

2.@ the root of your disk is\sources\spwizimg.dll

3. install.wim-mount\windows\system32\spwizimg.dll

4. boot.wim - mount\sources\spwizimg.dll

As is said before to edit the windows edition name this can be found @ Mount\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US\basebrd.dll.mui

Very messy posting...Please use the edit button next time instead of bumping the thread. Your posts will get read.

shell32.dll,-21799 looks like a resource that is trying to be used from an invalid CLSID (probably with garbage in InProcServer). I think it's the Common Desktop shell extension.

Have a look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{C4AA340D-F20F-4863-AFEF-F87EF2E6BA25}
