Bringing syssetup.dll support to WinntbbuED

[TheMadGuy]

Hi Guys 'n' Girls.

as mentioned before a few times, i really lack sparetime.

but i still would like to bring support for editing syssetup.dll strings in WinntbbuED to you as fast as possible.

So why dont you give me a hand in doing so ???

What i need are the resource Id's of the strings that are used while CDBOOT GUI Setup runs.

The ones that look particular intesteing to me right now are:

54 (yeah, KMan you were right...)

1164 - 1170

1177 - 1180

If you know, or can figure out any more, this would help bringing the support for editing to life much faster, then if i had to research it all by myself.

Come on, this doesnt seems a too hard task, does it ?

All help welcome here

TIA

tell me how to find these resource ID's and I'll gladly assist

do I need to reshack something?

sorry, not to knowledgeable when it comes to deconstructing Windows

Nothing to be ashamed of

The worst and boring part is, you have to sit next to setup and watch it the whole time, note down all the texts that get displayed in the bottom left.

Then open syssetup.dll e.g. in ResourceHacker and go through the StringTables, if you find a matching string note down its ID (in ResourceHacker the number on the left) and post them here.

Thats all

[piXelatedEmpire]

note down all the text, ok I'll give it a shot 2moro when I try my new install of nlitend XP... will let you know what I find

Take your time!

Any help on this is very welcome!

On a side note,

As it seems, there have to be additional sources for texts displayed.

During setup there are texts which seem not to have their origin in

either winntbbu nor syssetup.dll. So if any one can point me in the

direction where to look for them.... I'm listening

Hi All!

to be hounest this is a bit disappointing, almost a month now, and so little feedback on this. I'm still on the subject, but it will take signifently longer, when i dont get any help at all on this

[lionhrt]

THIS IS THE ORDER OF THE TEXT DISPLAYED:

- INSTALLING DEVICES

- INSTALLING NETWORK

- BUILD LIST...

- PERFORMING...

- COPYING FILES...

- COMPLETING INSTALATION

- INSTALLING START MENU ITEMS

- REGISTERING COMPONENTS

- REMOVING TEMPORARY FILES USED

So what i can see is

Istalling Devices - 54 & 1177

Installing Network - 26

Performing ...? 87

Installing Start Menu Items - 1164

Registering Components - 1165

Saving Settings - 1168

Removing any temporary files used - 1170

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL?

I'm still on the subject, but it will take signifently longer, when i dont get any help at all on this

My apologies for the lack of assistance I have been able to provide in the last month, I have just started a new job in the last month and it takes up a fair bit of my time..

thanks to lionhrt for the above info.. this is exactly what I have been doing, but he has found out more info than I did.

Hi All!

to be hounest this is a bit disappointing, almost a month now, and so little feedback on this. I'm still on the subject, but it will take signifently longer, when i dont get any help at all on this

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not that i normally would do this, but like you said you were disappointed with the lack of help or response to this post. I think your app is a useful tool to have and use it regularly. But I did take the time to format my drive, seeing it really needed it and sat down as suggested by you so that i can get the strings (atleast to the point of getting the ones listed in my response.) Sent you an email stating as such since you seemed desparate to get syssetup integrated properly into your modifier. The least you can do is thank a member for helping you out. Not that it is important just if a site is set on the idea of being a community then why not reply with at least a "Thanks M8".

EDIT. I only responded because you did re-enter the site after a period and responded to your one post. If it was that important you would have checked this one as well.

Hi!

i can see why you are unhappy about the lack of feedback from my side, BUT i have a real life to handle aswell which kept me quite busy through the last weeks, and to be hounest the last time i was on the forum i was in quite a hurry and only checked the main thread for my tool, so i missed this thread and your reply completely.

If you have watched the progess on my tool you'll find that no help of any kind stays unthanked or uncredited. So yours wont be either.

I am currently trying to get a bit more time free again so i can continue on this , but first things first, and this here just doesnt pay my bills.

Nevertheless my appologies that i gave you the feeling of beeing ignored, i really appreciate the time and work you put into this. And what you posted was exacly what i ment and was looking for, so thank you very much for it.

though i really cant tell at the moment when i will find enough time to continue my work, i am still eager to add the support for syssetup, sadly i still lack the time to do it at the moment, but i will pick up where i left asap.

"Thanks M8"

there's so much love in this here thread

No real harm done mate. And completely understand, I too myself am a busy guy on the real side. Wife, kid, bills and my 44th bd coming up.

Just didnt understand why you hadnt replied. when info was provided. But do so now.

So lets move on, get your homelife in order and lets get working on this. heh. Its a good app and with the integration of syssetup would definately be a benefit.

Thanks again for the reply
