Don't know we should be happy or sad.... Coz Xpize is released here first in MSFN. But rather in Neowin.

Anyway start testing and slipstreaming

we must be happy, it was born here and i'm proud to share part of my work

shots here!

[clavicle]

Downloaded, slipstreamed and used installer for installed windows. Great experience. Xpero has really put in a lot of effort. Keep up the good work!!

BTW I don't seem to get along with winrar skinning option. How to get it through? I tried it on Winrar 3.42 installed fresh. But no success.

Thanks!

Clock doesn't work with me? >_>

Otherwise: nice!

[iwod]

i still could not find how to use xpsize to change winrar icon.

[radiognome]

it messed my computer :\
i used the system restore point thing and everything's fine now

i have turkish windows, if that helps for "debugging"

when the logon screen appears, my windoz restarted a few times. i turned off that "restart when windows encounters an error" thing and then removed 3.0

anyone can help ?

I'm the happiest man on the world...I just try to share my work for you all to enjoy, thats all.

Thanks for spreading the info. Dont have much time to answer questions. This weekend I will be at home, so I will have more time.

Best regards and Royalize your minds.

[slimzky]

great work...

suggestion: put a "thin taskbar theme"

[XPero]

@clavicle:
Do you have WinRAR installed in C:\Program files? maybe thats the problem.

@Nanaki:
Sorry, I forgot to give info about the clock. The clock is automatically installed for English and German systems by now. If you want the clock, just select "Enlgish" when the installation prompts to select language.

@radiognome:
hmmm, it doesnt sounds well, I cant tell you an exact solution for this. I've taken note of it, hope this can be solved in next revision.

hallo xpero

i allready wrote a mail to you, but i post here, becouse maybe other users know the problem

ok i want to install xpize silent direct after xp installation

in my modded registry the restore system ist turned off

so if i use XPIZE.EXE /S the silent install hangs messeging "creation of restor point failed" and i have to press ok

it would be great if there is a second switch like /NORESTORE implemented in the setup

if switches for the winrar and themes selection could be implemented it would be really great

maybe like this "XPIZE.EXE /S /RESTORE=0 /WINRAR=1 /THEMES=0 /EXTRAS=1"

thanks

Hi Xpero

I tried to skin Winrar both in Program files directory and also other location where I usually keep it installed. But if winrar directory is not located in Program Files, as suggested by you, then another problem could also be that my program files directory is a subfolder of the windows directory. So there will certainly be a problem because, perhaps, your installer is rather than using absolute paths is using fixed path for winrar. Am I right. I will work around with full windows and default folder structure to see the effect.

Thanks for the reply. But you must keep the option of manually adding the required directory in the path.

Thanks again! Great work again!

[yergling]

oh if the installer is using fixed path than may it happen, that the installation in c:\program files\ will bi patched, but i am currently working on my second windows in d:\program files\

that would be horrible ?!?

XPize3 gives me problems during T-12 without integrating. For a start, it gives an error when trying to make a system restore point. Then it resets my wallpaper. >_<

[Aegis]

Bug report: XPize modifies user32.dll, which in some unknown way, causes applications using some of its APIs to crash. Example: Futuremark 3DMark03. This bug was found on Windows XP SP1.

[clavicle]

Yes, xpize works to skin Winrar only when winrar is located in the default folder, ie, \program files\winrar. I just installed new windows and ran xpize to skin winrar 3.42 and it worked!!

[bonedaddy]

here's a couple of bugs that need to be checked, using latest nLited iso

during install throws a couple of popups, one stating uxtheme not compatable

with this version. Also, cdimage would not work. I had to uninstall command

window color changes ect. Over all very nice work and a great uninstaller......

BD

EDIT using XP Pro sp2, nLite 99.8b5 , WAIT installer, made one change went

back to xpize 2.5 and all problems were gone..........

[lilweirddude]

just curious, what is installed when you use the silent switch
btw, different switch configs would be great

[XPero]

Regarding switches:

By now, XPize 3.0 doesn't support the /NORESTORE switch. *Maybe* it will be implemented in next version.
Components selection switches are not supported and difficult to implement. I can't promise anything for next version

Regarding WinRAR:

In theory, the WinRAR patch is applied wherever you have installed WinRAR, cuz the installer looks for the value in the registry. Anyway, it is safer to have it installed in C:\Program files

@bonedaddy and @Aegis
I have taken note on that, I will try to find what is wrong.

Thanks for reporting and for comments

[kill3r]

same problem with the /s switch ...
if the system restoring is disabled a window pops up saying that the point creation failed and you have to click ok to go on, that isn't really silent

hope could be fixed fast

[lilweirddude]

maybe you could try enabling system restore before the install and disable it after
