Has anyone seen this problem? I installed Autostreamer via the installer version. When I launch it It starts the windows installer fot Roxio EMC 7, why? If I hit the cancel button on the installer 3 or 4 times Autostreamer starts & runs fine. It does this on 2 of my desktops but not on my laptop. I do have Roxio EMC 7 installed on the machines in question. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

I believe Roxio EMC took over the installer format. Go to My Computer > Tools > Folder Options, and on that list search for the extension that Roxio took over.

That's not the case. MSI and MSP are the only file types associated with Windows Installer. Even if I double click on the AutoStreamer.exe file it starts Windows Installer. If I let it continue it starts the Roxio install. If I click the "Cancel" button on Windows Installer, (have to click 3 to 5 times and wait), the Windows Installer aborts and THEN AutoStreamer starts and runs normally.

This is really wierd, any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Problem solved!

What I had to do was download and install Microsoft's installer cleanup utility, (msicuu2.exe). Run the utility to cleanup Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. Reinstall Easy Media Creator 7 and patch to 7.1. All is now ok. My guess is that the web download and update patch for EMC 7, (run in the last several days), left garbage behind. Why it started "only" when I ran AutoStreamer is still a mystery.

If anyone is interested, I have a new installer that uses the Windows Installer available for download:

I uploaded a new build of the installer.

Changelog:

-If Windows Installer 2.0 or higher is not found, the installer will download and install it for you

-Fixed WinXP SP2 lockup problem

-Fixed some installation destination problem

-Fixed support site launch problem

If anyone finds any bugs in the installer, you can email them to me at [email protected]. Thanks! :D

Hello.

I downloaded and used your program to slipstream SP2 into Windows XP, but the .iso it created is 766MB and won't burn onto an 80 minute CDR.

Is this a common problem, and if so how can I resolve it? My original Windows XP Pro CD was 677MB.

Your "original" XP CD was probably actually slipstreamed with SP1 already, as if you slipstream and XP SP1 CD with SP2, there are many leftovers files it doesn't get rid of, thus having too big of an ISO. I would suggest using a true original XP CD as that should be no more than 505MB I think and probably around 600MB with SP2. :)

Hello people!

Can anyone tell me is it possible to use this with your currently installed Windows PC? I lost my CD, and was wondering if I could create the CD straight off of my PC (point to C:/Windows???

I thought thats what "specify own windows share" meant..

Not working =(

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
