I got Xplode to work on my test machine which is an Athlon XP 2000+, 512 MB memory, scsi cd-rom and cd-burner, 10 gig IDE hard drive. Registry tweaks install, the few apps I am installing work, and it also adds the two users I set it up to. Now when going to install on the machine it was made for which is Intel D915PBL motherboard with a 3.4 GHz Hyper threaded chip. 1 gig memory. 200 gig SATA hard drive. The partition I am installing to is 85 gigs. The apps install, it doesn't show the reg tweaks install, but when I boot in they seem to be there. The users portion does not install. My log file says 3 plugins do not load.
XPlodeAdduserPlugin2.xpd2, XPlodeFSOpsPlugin2.xpd2, XPlodeRegistryPlugin2.xpd2. On the test PC the log file shows a successful install. I have searched and seen other people with problems like this, but am unable to find a solution to it. Any ideas would be great.

This is a known issue, and at this time, I'm unable to find a reason as to why this is happening.

I will be speaking to you regarding testing XPlode3 in the near future though.

Turn off Hyperthreading (I suspect its enabled) in the bios and re-run Xplode

Thanks a lot for the help. Works like a charm now. Definitely something I would have never thought of. Thanks also to Wraith for writing such a cool and useful program.
