Converting SuperW2K3_v2 to v3

[Brave01Heart]

Hi Khauyeung

Many thanks for your response, though I have one more query which I neglected to ask in my last post:

Please forgive my ignorance for asking you to answer this basic question, but I'm no expert and I would have thought that when you copy and overwrite the 3 files in the 5 directories, you could then just save and burn the ISO to cd, so what's the significance of using CDIMAGE.EXE at STEP 4?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) CDIMAGE Usage: From the command prompt run CDIMAGE and use this command line:

C:\Super_W2K3\CDIMAGE.EXE -LSUPER_W2K3 -T03/25/2003,12:00:00 -BC:\Super_W2K3\BSCRIPT\LOADER.BIN -G -H -M -N -O -X C:\Super_W2K3 C:\khauyeung_SuperW2K3_AIO_v3.iso

Best regards

Since the contents under our source root C:\Super_W2K3 is 4 GB, we need to use the CDIMAGE.EXE to perform an "Optimization", mapping and saving identical files to a single physical address onto the CD. That is why we have step 4 and not to burn the CD directly from the modified source root.

FOX, thank you very much for showing others the detail messages of the compilation process with the CDIMAGE. I think it is really helpful to those who are not familiar with CDIMAGE!

So its normal the error that fox have wrote here ?

I get the same thing here but im only at 16% now..

They are absolutely normal! CDIMAGE found some files which are very similar and almost identical, it warns you that there is possibly an error in the file(s), but we know it is normal!

Now you can relax!

[pittpull]

Thanks alot khauyeung

for clearing this out im relaxing now hehe

And to Fox that showed the progress on cdimage so fast to us..

Thx alot khauyeung for the V3....

Thx to everyone to ask all theses questions and all the answers from khauyeung!!


PS: i am currently doing the compression by cdimage .. and working fine !!

[Flammeus2000]

Here is additional informatiom for those who already installed v.2:
1. Extract DPCDLL.DL_ and WINLOGON.EX_ with WinRAR.
2. Boot Windows 2003 in a Safe Mode.
3. Copy all 3 files DPCDLL.DLL, PIDGEN.DLL and WINLOGON.EXE into \Windows\System32 Directory to overwrite old files.

Is it possible to open the ISO with UltraISO, delete the old files, add the new ones and save it?

The answer is NO because the 3 files appeared a multiple of places on the ISO!

Flammeus2000, your information is absolutely helpful to all of us. Thank you very much!
