What's New?
  • New since XPize 4.x
    • Full x64 and XP SP3 support (including XPx64 winbrand image)
    • Internet Explorer 8 support
    • More visual styles and wallpapers
    • More bitmap styles (including Luna Element and XPize 3.x's own Energy Blue style)
    • Includes xpize Darkside (courtesy of Antonio King)
    • XP 7-Zip skin and icons
    • Numerous little things
    • Full MMC3.0 support
    • Intelligent icon patcher replaces icon subimages, rather than deleting them
  • New since the last release (Beta 3)
    • Numerous bug fixes
    • Better I386 support, including AMD64 support
    • Brings back the clock face bitmap (English only)
    • And fixes the System Performance control panel (English only)
    • And other little things

Known Issues

There's only a few known issues with this release which, I think, can be safely ignored:
  • Users of non-English Windows may find their shell32.dll and other files go over some undefined size limit which causes incompatibilities with some programs. If anyone has this issue it's important you let us know.
  • Localisation
    • Swedish and Simplified Chinese aren't full translations, they're missing a few strings
    • There are a few English strings that aren't localised. You will only see these under error conditions or at the end of uninstallation
  • Uninstallation
    • Uninstallation has been tested, but not to the same extent as installation. During my testing on x64 it seemed to go by okay, except cursors aren't restored and your window title font won't be reset. This is easily corrected by just flipping your visual style selection on-and-off.
    • Font antialiasing settings are not restored by uninstalling. You can manually change this via the Display control panel
  • Boot.ini
    • My Boot.ini classes haven't been tested on a dual-boot system. They apply the bootlogo to the default OS and assume boot.ini takes the format of the Windows XP version. If you are running a dual-boot system, report any difficulties.
Requirements

As always, it requires the .NET Framework 2.0 (Click here if you're on x86, or here if you're on x64) otherwise you'll get errors about the application not starting right.

Download Link

Download xpize 5 Release 4 from the downloads page.

Let's see how many terabytes a month I'll burn through by self-hosting the file.
