First off, thanks for continuing and improving the work os Xpero, this really brings a shine to XP :-) I'd like however to report two icons that weren't replaced (one of them is probably outside the scope of xpize but still).
Anyway the first one if the windows update icon (i had the same problem with the last version Xpero made). The other one is the Nvidia PhyX icon. Find them in the attached pic.

I've done some research into this, and I'm sorry to say it's impossible to fix.

Control Panel icons are not pulled directly from the CPL file. Icons are actually gotten by loading the control panel into memory and asking it for the icon. The Control Panel itself has no way of knowing what size icon is expected and probably just returns 16x16 and 32x32 (and not the 48x48 subimage) which is probably what's happening (since all of the Windows Update icons in all the Windows files contain a 48x48 subimage).

Technical details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1299016...cons-windows-xp

It's the same thing with the nvidia control panel icon (mine, not yours), except rather than upscaling the 32x32 icon instead it downscales the 128x128 icon.

I don't like that skin either Marru_xD...

For media player I would recommend you Kantaris - its based on VLC.

I tried to include that WMP skin in 5B3, but it adds another megabyte and doesn't compress well.

Ugh, it filled with errors.

Try using Release 6 which I just pushed out and try again.

Although I don't personally recommend installing xpize to a CD image since it misses out on a lot of things that you can only get by installing it locally. I prefer to keep my installation media "pure" (i.e. only add official Microsoft updates and drivers) and do everything else after installation.

What are these things?
Maybe it would be good to inform the user, while he is trying to run the slipstream process.
