vertigosity Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Suicide said: >0.7.2a(05/04/2006): Fixed a few errors I made while refactoring, improve the documentation, update Tangerine to 0.10. thanks for the update! Yeah, there was a minor minor update. If you already had the shell32.dll script from earlier this week, or you feel like staring at the documentation for a bit (which I did when I was tired, so there's grammatical errors :(), there's not really much to grab it for, unless you're just a stickler for having the absolute latest point releases, or like murdering DeviantArt's bandwidth. vfiend said: Perhaps consider a link to this Tango icon pack for the extras? Sure. Interesting choice of first post, welcome to NW :) CeL_dAmAgE said: Jesus christ, my computer officially hates you. It's either that NOD32 is screwing up something, or I don't know whats going on. I think "Try it in safe mode." is going to be my new shot-in-the-dark snake-oil panacea catch-phrase, since doing that eliminates oh-so-many variables, and I think partially neuters Windows File Protection. The shareware version of NOD32 doesn't give me any grief, FWIW. I think your computer just hates me :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/423122-shell-patcher-tango-icons-for-windows/page/10/#findComment-587476772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeL_dAmAgE Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Oh wow... then it's something else on my computer that never lets it install. Does anyone know if IconPackager will break it maybe? But then again, I reverted the icons back to default XP ones before installing the pack.. Oh well, I guess I'l just wait for a real installer/uninstaller.

Everytime I ran the patch the Windows error for replacing certain files didn't pop up. But after the reformat they popped up like no tomorrow haha and it worked like a charm :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/423122-shell-patcher-tango-icons-for-windows/page/10/#findComment-587484404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 @celdamage: IconPackager won't affect the system file modification in any way, but it will affect what gets displayed. I wouldn't hold your breath too long for a real installer, I've been too busy to really work on it myself. GUIReplacer 3.0 might be pretty nice, though, if you don't mind the .NET framework. @archan9el: Interesting effect! I do have a tendency to reformat my desktop every 2-4 months (restoring from an activated image), if only as an excuse to play with the latest release of Vista or Ubuntu, my other test machines are clean VMs and a laptop that doesn't get mucked with much, so I can't claim to test on installs that've led a full life, so to speak.

Restoring from an activated image is a good strategy especially good for ppl doing DIY themselves. I used to do the image after M$ Windows and Office activation but prior to installation any other drivers and software. By doing so, I only need four CDs for a True Image exercise.

mauseum Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I use Iconpackager along with the shell patcher to Tango-a-fy (yes that is now a word) some things that the patcher doesn't and i never have any problems patching or installing new patch versions.

takkun Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 i used it for the first time, im impressed it worked way better/faster than the vista patcher. however it didn't changed my docs and recycler icons, other than that good job.

I should also mention this Windows was already built into my Sony VAIO laptop. The reformat removed the OEM version in place of a totally new fresh install of the whole system, much like a breath of fresh air free of pollutants (Sony Crapware).

In the recovery console, cd to change directories, dir to list their contents, and then copy should be all you need to copy a backup shell32 to the live system.After you find a good backup (if you've been using my patcher, the "original" subdirectory of it would be a good place to check), just copy it to system32 as such, "copy shell32.dll c:\windows\system32" and let it replace. If system file protection tries to stop you, copy it to c:\windows\system32\dllcache too. I hope this is enough for you to go on!
