Broken Hope Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 You need to make the installer compatible for the new system files that the latest critical update installed.

The Beyonder Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Instead of overwriting, why not just renaming the old Windows-files to be replaced and then copying the new ones into their directories? Don't know if this will work, but if I'm correct that's how the previous installer worked! The original installer left all the old files (example shell32.dll.mmx) on your system!

loc[a]lhost Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 i have a question, would you like windows file protection disabled after the installing the mmx, or should wfp return at the end of da installation? btw, it will be even easier to me to make the installer keep it disabled ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/29238-mmx-installer-convert-your-system/page/13/#findComment-565707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted December 27, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2002 I didnt get to ask permision yet Ok, those icons are Mikkel Madsons, I suggest you contact him here. Also, in regards the theme, a) make sure the theme you're including isn't a rip itself and b) if it isn't, make sure you contact the author of the theme. PM me with the details after you contact the relevent people because until then, any links will be removed, sorry to be a spoilsport.

loc[a]lhost Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 (edited) Shalayers, im using you visual style. its fine, right? and isnt it fine that i dont ask the permission but i include credits to everybody in the setup? btw, the installer is 90% ready :D i just wait for WMP9 to release so i can reshack it ;) Edited December 27, 2002 by acbd Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/29238-mmx-installer-convert-your-system/page/13/#findComment-567031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beyonder Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 (edited) Dazzla and Shalayer are right, abcd! Ask for permission BEFORE you release it! I don't think it will be very difficult to reach the people involved!!! You can get to Mikkel Madsen at MMicons.com, William Bart at BBXstudio.com and the author of the Visual Style can probably be reached here at Neowin! Ask for permission, it will be greatly appreciated by the original authors! Anyways, how is it coming along? Whatever you do, don't give up! I've been dying to get my hands on a new installer for so long! Thanks in advance!
