Ok but those are Not editable fields right now according to the readme
I have them all in same folder when I'm messing with them.

@TheMadGuy
I found that after copying to my %windir%\System32 I no longer get that Error 9.
I created a right click on .dll and .dl_ to just open the WinntbbuED Editor but can't make it open the file I'm right clicking on. Are there any commandline switches? Maybe later on as its in its early day's.

EDIT: Some get the error and some don't.

Hi maxXPsoft!

with the help of the .dll you shared i could pinpoint the problem, it's caused by .dll's where BitMap Resources are completely deleted. (Missing ID's)
I will fix this issue in the next release.

As for the command line switches, there are none in the current version, but i put that on the ToDo list aswell.

Thnx for taking the time to test around.

P.S.: Be sure you have disabled Windows File Protection if you play in %windir%\System32, elseway you might get fuzzy results.

That wasn't my file I created. Mine don't do that.

What i ment was by pointing me to a non working .dll, i could find and eliminate the bug.

Thnx 4 that

Hi All!

Boy, have i got something up my sleeve

How about a new version?
Yeah?
OK!

Here goes:

V0.3.0 Getting a REAL Preview

f - the 'Runtime error 9 Subscript out of range' Bug
     this was caused when BitMap Resources where completely
     deleted and the resource ID was missing in the dll

a - My whole Pride: REAL PREVIEW
     In the extras menu you can call Real Preview in three
     different sizes. Its a Previewmode that actually uses the
     code from within winntbbu.dll to render the Preview.
     You can't get any more accurate :)
    
n - Do me a faviour, READ the Read this first!
     I dont want to see any questions that are already answered
     in there!

a - a Statusbar to the main window
     it shows the version of the currently loaded winntbbu.dll and
     also the version, if found, of the syssetup.dll or otherwise
     that it was not found.

a - Commandline passing of a Filename, now you can directly pass the
     name of the file you want to edit to WinntbbuED e.g.:
     WinntBBUED "f:\xp\cd\i386\winntbbu.dll"

a - 'Shell Extension' submenu to the 'Extras' menu
     here you can (un)register WinntBBUEd to the Explorer context menu
     for .dll and .dl_ files

This kept me quite busy, but it was worth it

Go grab WinntbbuED 0.3.0 right now!

OLD VERSION REMOVED

Great work m8 excellent program

[maxXPsoft]

hmm might take me a bit to get the right click going on it and update the reg. Should have worked with the \"%1\"

[maxXPsoft]

That real preview is awesome, excellent work.
You said VB, what version you doing? I do my own app in VB6

Thats an Easy one:
You only need the \ infront of double quotes when you are having REG_SZ Keys as plain text in your reg file, the command string you set is a REG_EXPAND_SZ in hex form, where you dont need the backslash.
Taken from your earlier post it should, to make it working, look like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\...\shell\Edit\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,\
  00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,6e,00,74,00,62,00,\
  62,00,75,00,45,00,44,00,30,00,32,00,30,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,22,\
  00,25,00,31,00,22,00,00,00

Note: this is just a correction of your earlier post, it would still point to %windir%\system32\WinntbbuED020.exe "%1" and i replaced the classname with "..." above, since its the same for dllfile and dl_file

Hope you get the idea anyways.
And you can also use the (Un)Register option in the editor itself if you like

Thnx!
I'm pretty proud of that too
Was quite some job to figure it out....

I'm using VB6 SP6

[maxXPsoft]

Ok I dropped the \ from mine and it did work so corrected above. It didn't with the .dl_ because it errors out and don't expand.
Are you saying it will set the keys itself now? with the Register option

[maxXPsoft]

Yep I got a "File you are trying to is not a valid WINNTBBU.DLL file" on the .dl_

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

? Errors out ? What kind of error ?

And yes, basicly thats what the Shell Extension menu does, though its a slightly different approach, i dont use (overwrite) the edit\command Regvalue, instead i add a "WinntbbuED" entry to the context menu, this is a bit more friendly for anyone who already has associated dll's edit\command to something else like e.g. a HexEditor

But it's based on your suggestion, btw did you check the about lately?

Thats strange, can you expand that file, go to properties of the expanded .dll, version and post whats the internal name is set to ???

or simply post the .dl_ file ?

[maxXPsoft]

? Errors out ? What kind of error ?

Only on the .dl_
That's ok I can expand them first.
No more error 9 on the downloaded WINNTBBU.DLL file when you go to pictures so you got that one down pat.

Ok you got the Right click built in now so I deleted the reg stuff of mine.
getting nicer all the time. picks up syssetup.dll although they need to be expanded also.

@TheMadGuy
BTW around here they usually post the Updated links and stuff in first post so peeps can find it easier, its up to you. You can let them read everything to find the latest and greatest. Hope you don't mind I posted a link in the Unattended section pointing here cause this is definitely a great tool to have.

[KMan]

WOW! Great Tool!
This really makes it easy to edit the setup screen!

Thank you!

Yeah you really should start putting the updates and versions in your first post.
It is a lot easier for people to see the current version and whatnot that way.

P.S. Could you capatilize the first letter of my name in the credits?

Cool! i always wanted to quote myself *lol*
I'm Already doing so since the 9th of July, actually since piXelatedEmpire pointed this out the first time.

But as it seems no one is reading the 1st post, so no one noticed yet

And just to make sure i also added the current version link to my signature about an hour ago aswell.

Hope this will make it easier to find the current release
