Hi

I have hacked uxtheme as cab ( uxtheme.dl_ ) and windowsxp setup will accept it without error .

provide me with a link to upload it so any one can download it

Hacked UXTheme.dll | Hacked UXTheme.dll (mirror)

@yazoo all the settings in your theme use %WinDir%somethin.whatever, I think it is missing the first \ after %windir% - like

%windir%\resources\Themes\Ximian\Ximian.msstyles

Edit - Ive just looked at mine and its like yours so forget that.

Edit again - I have looked at others and they are done correctly, its about 50% each way so i don't think it would hurt to add the offending \ in place but im not sure it will fix your problem.

@ AaronXP - Sorry dude i told you i was missing the point. I still think its the cab thats signed and not the file but time wil tell

@Paul it was the .theme file, it's got some custom icons which I didn't copy over.
I copied the icon library over to $$/icons and set the paths in the .theme to reflect that. Now it works great. Thanks for the tip you were on the right track. Now to start adding other things

How did you do this??
Did you use loaders or sth??
or only pack it with other tool then cabarc??

Look Here

Does this method prevent the error message in the setuperr.txt (or whatever it is called)? I did as many others, and just copied a version posted here into the I386 directory. Works fine, yet is listed as a problem in the error log, and causes a red flaged event in the event log. Does hacking the checksum overcome this problem as well, or does it just prevent setup from crashing?

I think it just prevents setup from throwing one. As in, he is just explaining how he made the file in this topic and the wfp cab topic.

Is this hacked version theme DLL for Windows XP or Windows SP1 or both?

It works for SP1, so I wouldn't suggest using this on a copy without SP1.

Thanks AaronXP. Just making sure since there was no reference to it.
