No, my pics resolution is 1024x768 and it shows fine.
Yes just copy the files to your source AFTER XPize'ing.
Nope haven't seen him forever!!!

ey Kel! thanks for the confirmation ... already found out the ans to my Qs due to experiments (as sadly i had to create my build earlier than any reply could be posted ) ... no harm though ... perhaps, interest on this side of the forum has waned a little ... ... posted a resolution to my similar inquiry here ... a sample of what i did here ... thanks again Kel!

Great tool, just one question, once you changed the background, how do you save it to replace the original??

got it.

The program works fine only when I try to open packed .DL_ files it gives an error. It cannot expand them.
However if I use windows its own expand.exe they can be upacked just fine. Anyone else experienced this? And how to resolve?

[danker]

Just expand it by your self!

[X1pheR]

haha lol that could work also. but with a large collection you can just have the compressed ones. now since it cannot extract you have to keep the original unpacked one which in total over a large collection of files is quite larger then packed.

It's funny? isen't it?
How big is your collection? (my only 120MB)

Do you know "Make_Expand" or "Cab_Tool" ?

This way is very easy!

this program is impressive...allowing on the fly changes and even a simulation of the final product is really handy. If this helps, i'll note that all of the text on the billboard showed up in english correctly except for "Installation will complete in 39 minutes". Instead, it said:

Installation abgeschlossen in ungefahr 33 minuten

which i'm guessing to be german or something along those lines.

Hope this helps, keep it up.

I had the same problem until i copied the syssetup.dll file from my C drive after installing XP and putting it in the same folder as the program and hey presto all in English.

Thanks a million for making this program m8 i have now since made my own billboard to use and it worked from the first try i was really impressed!! Thanks again bro!

Hi Evry1!

I'm not sure if i am too late with this, since not much happening here anymore...
But anyways, i had a little spare time and was tired of the work needed to modify texts in the winntbbu.dll, so i put together a little VB-Application.

I tried to keep it as tight as possible, so if i am not mistaken all you will need to run this are the vb6 runtimes (which, if you dont run winxp anyway, can get from ms directly).

attachment

Note, this is the first release, consider it Beta, there are limitations, much room for improvements, and surely there will be bugs. But i will try to work on this as my free time allows.

Ok, to make it bit more clear heres the list of current limitations:

In its current Version this editor only allows editing of
the following in Winntbbu.dll:

   *Colors
   *Fonts (Large & Small)
   *Headlines & Billboards
   *Step Texts
   *Pictures (HighColor & CDBoot only):
        Backgroundimage
        Step Images
        Top-Left-Logo
        Processinganimation

----------------------------------------------------------

Preview:

  The Preview is currently only available for small
  resolution setups. Only changes made to the appropiate
  Resources will take visual effect. Of Cource all made
  changes get written to the dll.

SysSetup:

  Though for visual completeness Texts from syssetup.dll,
  if present in the same directory as the selected 
  winntbbu.dll, are displayed, they are, at least at the
  moment, not editable.

Pictures:

  There are no validation Checks on the Bitmaps
  that you might use, so have to take care yourself.

  All Pictures are limited to the use of Bitmap Images.

  Every Bitmap has a display in the pictures editor
  with its current size, hold the mouse over that,
  and you will get a tip with the size microsoft has
  intended.

Fonts:

  The font that you use MUST be present and registered
  at the time of setup.

  Since only Fontname and Fontsize are stored in the .dll
  even though the dialog for fonts allows it, you cant use
  styles like bold etc.

Dont Knows:

  There are still some aspects in the resources
  i dont know what they are good for, any additional
  information is welcome.

Comments & Suggestions are very welcome

Last Update: 29.07.2005
Current Version 0.3.1

Thank you very much.

I used your soft and created new winntbbu.dll, copy to i386. But when i burn a cd and setup in my pc, not change anything.

Can you help me!

Thanks!

[Kelsenellenelvian]

The Mad Guy has not been around in AGES. But I am the current host of the program. Please upload you winntbbu.dll somewhere so I can see what, if anything went wrong.

Also tell me what steps you took after replacing the winntbbu.dll file?
