So let's make a summary.

the 4 files are needed to be patched (services.exe, sxs.dll, umpnpmgr.dll, winlogon)

shsvcs.dll, uxtheme.dll and the normal msgina.dll are definitly needed (may needed to switch to xpelogon to keep shutdown working)

SystemSetupInProgrest must be 0 under HKLM\System\Setup

The Themes service needs to be restore (can be taken from normal XP)

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Themes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes

Themes have to be appended to netsvcs inside HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost

But there seems more to be needed (still using a mix between BartPE\XPE and LiveXP registry )

Thanks for the update!

Well, I not really a fan of Winbuilder Scripts so may someone give me a hand? Here is a very basic begin of one.

Can somebody add following to the script?

- appended Themes to REG_MULTI_SZ netsvcs inside WB-Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost

- copy the full Resources folder form Source to Target
- copy/rename blue_ss.dll from Source to Target SHELLSTYLE.DLL
- copy shsvcs.dll from Source to Target
- copy MSGINA.dll form Source to Target (overwrite the fake one)

- patch and copy sxs.dll from Source to Target
- patch and copy umpnpmgr.dll from Source to Target
- patch and copy services.exe from Source to Target

- patch and copy uxtheme.dll from Source to Target (patch will be added soon)

- patch and copy winlogon.exe from Source to Target

Please let me know In with way I have to adjust my patcher, that it can fit best in the script.

There is actually no problem.
Just use WinBuilder. Make a rightclick and choose what you want from the menu. A template of the command with complete syntax will be written in that spot in the script.

- appended Themes to REG_MULTI_SZ netsvcs inside WB-Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost
Ask Peter (psc) for that one, i don't know if it already works in WB.

- copy the full Resources folder form Source to Target
DirCopy,%SourceDir%\Resources,%TargetDir%

- copy/rename blue_ss.dll from Source to Target SHELLSTYLE.DLL
require_file,blue_ss.dll
FileRename,"%target_sys%\blue_ss.dll","%target_sys%\SHELLSTYLE.DLL"

- copy shsvcs.dll from Source to Target
require_file,shsvcs.dll

- copy MSGINA.dll form Source to Target (overwrite the fake one)
require_file,MSGINA.dll

- patch and copy sxs.dll from Source to Target
require_file,sxs.dll

Patching
ShellExecute,Hide,Filenam,"Parameters"
Filenam would be the name and path of your patch.exe and parameters would be the parameters your patch program requires.

- patch and copy umpnpmgr.dll from Source to Target
require_file,umpnpmgr.dll

- patch and copy services.exe from Source to Target
require_file,services.exe

- patch and copy uxtheme.dll from Source to Target (patch will be added soon)
require_file,uxtheme.dll

- patch and copy winlogon.exe from Source to Target
require_file,winlogon.exe

Hope this helps.

Yep, thanks Medevil.

Are there any volunteers? You need to have an XP SP3 Source.

Just hit the PLAY button, the following ISO will not work in Qemu but at least here in VmWare and my real PC.

Shutdown does not work, but I will add XPEShutdown soon, for now kill peloader in taskmanager to restart.

Please let me know if it works for You.

Just tested with german xp-sp3 as source, and it works great!
Good work.

It also works in VirtualBox but not in Virtual PC.

[MedEvil]

I understand the dependence on a certain service pack, but on the used VM?
What exactly happens in the 'wrong' VM?

btw. As far as i know, are all our XP based projects meant to be build from XPSP2. So a version of the script which could be used with XPSP2 would be a good idea.

[Lancelot]

Thannnkkksss a lot JFX

xpsp3enu + vmware:
package works nicely (bootsdi)
+
CreateISO with enabled FBWF works nicely
CreateISO with disabled FBWF works nicely

[was_JFX]

Good thats seem to work so far.

About the different VM's I really have no idea about what's going on with them .

@MedEvil, I will take a look a the SP2 winlogon.exe, but you know I not the original developer of that patch, so give me some time for this

let's make some test with bigger project's. I cannot imagine that's the I have seen so much is already gone.

Sorry, didn't knew that the patch was dependant on SP3, thought you've meant just the script.

Hi JFX

I cant reproduce the test with current LiveXP by matching the selected scripts of your package. Hoping you kill that too .

Jfx LiveXP package wb076---> Theme works:
http://lancelot.winb...0729_055044.rar
Latest LiveXP wb077rc2---> Theme dont work:
http://lancelot.winb...0729_061429.rar

[was_JFX]

Hi Lancelot,

I tryed also with latest LiveXP wb077rc2, but it worked for me

Can you compare the Target folders of missing files and may upload the 2 Registry Hives software and setupreg.hiv.

With this new Script Shutdown should work again

removed

[Lancelot]

Hi JFX,

I found the problem, I was using spaced basefolder, fixed with changing
...ThemePatch.exe","-Theming4LiveXP %target_sys%"
to
...ThemePatch.exe","-Theming4LiveXP #$q%target_sys%#$q"
All working fine now

With this new Script Shutdown should work again

Yep working (xpsp3enu, vmware 605)
maybe a checkbox to add xpelogon/shutdown will be nice

[MedEvil]

JFX, just found out, for the XP style to look, right you will also need Tahoma.ttf and Trebuchet MS.ttf

[was_JFX]

@Lancelot
Thanks I really was missing the '#$q' but for the CheckBox I like to wait for an alternative, so this will be a ComboBox.

@MedEvil
Very good find, but you forgot the 3rd (Franklin Gothic Font), I will add these 3.

[MedEvil]

Very could find, but you forgot the 3rd (Franklin Gothic Font), I will add these 3.

Ooops, where is that used?

Ooops, where is that used?

Startbutton and username.

Small Update for now

- Added Support for XP Sp2 Sources
- Bugfix, THX Lancelot

removed, new version online

[MedEvil]

Very pleased to announce that JFX script also works fine NaughtyPE.

[was_JFX]

OK, let's get rid of the XPeLogon/Shutdown

Can anyone explain me the problem with PE and Msgina.dll?

Someone see a way using the normal Msgina.dll and still have the Shutdowndialog working?

[MedEvil]

A good place to start is to ask paraglider, as he created the PEGina we use.
Keeping the PEGina and have Styles working, may just be a question of adding a few function calls to PEGina.

[was_JFX]

Good advice if 've send him PM.

So as everyone wants Options, try XpThemesv4

I think it's needlees to say I'm more the commandline Guy rather than a Gui one.

[paraglider]

There are 2 versions of pegina - one I wrote and one Sherpya wrote for xpe. Don't know which one you are using. They both do approximately the same thing: export ShellShutdownDialog which XP calls when you choose shutdown from the menu.

I am sure if you work out what additional functionality pegina requires for support of styles then additional entry points which foreward to the same entry points in the renamed msgina can be added.

[paraglider]

I don't use explorer shells on xp based pe these days so here is an experimental untested msgina.dll which expects the original msgina.dll to be called pegina.dll. It exports many more of the msgina entry points:

http://www.paraglide...Files/MSGina.7z

If your pe bsods then you know there was something wrong with it.

It creates a log file at %ramdrv%\ginalog.log which may show which entry points are used.
