GurliGebis Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Xpero, so I should just open all the dll files from the ENU version and the DLL versions from the DK version, and them move the ressources. Could you make a bit more detailed guide for Restorator 2004, not sure what to export and import, and how to do it. (Sorry for being such a whiner) :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585112432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 I can help you make an installer (or even operation) that works on all languages (and all XP and 2003). Interest? PM me. 585112415[/snapback] Thank you! but not needed. Flyakite is developing it.

Kamael Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 @xpero: Couldn't this be released as a patch instead of complete new files? I mean, just the data that differs from the original files (very little I guess, since they're only icons), and patch'em into the files...that way the download would be _way_ smaller and you can even do some aditional checks in the installer like version checking...

It replaces the resource without replacing the files. the files are about 11mg the installor is about 4.5mb. installer works with window xp home, xp pro, 2003, and other versions Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585130237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: So the hotfixes packs are no longer needed then?

panicswitched Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 i noticed a small problem trying to impliment this into an already installed windows. the replacer said it exported the files correctly but i rebooted and windows went into a infinit looop :( i will try installing it in slipstreamed version of windows and yes i was using SP2 on xp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585132026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetRyder Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 The installer worked nicely for me. Installed and rebooted.

If you do a update via window update theres is xpize udater in the start->programs i noticed a small problem trying to impliment this into an already installed windows. the replacer said it exported the files correctly but i rebooted and windows went into a infinit looop :( i will try installing it in slipstreamed version of windowsand yes i was using SP2 on xp 585132026[/snapback] were you using the batch script or the installer? Note: This installer works with window xp home, pro, 2003, and many other version like window media edtion and maybe tablet pc.

mrt2 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 A bit confused and I know I will sound like a moron for asking...but what exactly does this transformation pack do? It looks just like windows xp to me....*confused* Or is this for people who want to change their modded xp files back to the originals or what?

They icons that still looked like 2000 are updated this pack. It just make window prettier. This pack had nothing to do with microsoft. I recommend you try it.

Digital.K Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Tried this just out of curiosity, and I must say very well done. This is a very clean shell pack and what I think XP should look like.

Sir Topham Hatt Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Is there a way to tell me what it installs and where? I like the change of animation when copying things, and some od the other BMPs, but I already have a Shall Pack on I like, so I do not want to mess it up :/ Thanks, Pete Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585165236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Another helpful thing would be just the changed files. Then I can ResHack them in myself? As I have to Install it or not. I cant put the files in a Directory and then see what it is actually installing :/ Thanks, Peter Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585165395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Topham Hatt Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Yea, thats what I mean. I dont have the original, and at the moment, do not want my one replacing, but I DO like that animation of the copying :/ - Is there one for emptying the recycle bin to?

XPero Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 @wizzer: The installer places all the files in C:\Windows\XPize (it is hidden) The animation (AVI) for the recycle bin is in shell32.dll Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/253187-release-xpize/page/4/#findComment-585166143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
