Mr. Dick C. Normous, i'm sorry i forgot to tell about cryptografic service error . in my way you must make a copy of the original update.ini then when you run update.exe you must fast copy over modified inf the origal one and it won't get that error

btw: that instructions should work for any patch or update designed for Windows XP on Windows2003

I have followed the instructions but dont get what you mean, where is the original update.ini? I dont overwrite one..

well i my first reply i said that you must modify the update.ini in order to work on w2k3 but first you make a backup copy of the original ini file . and when u run the update.exe you must very fast copy over the orignal ini file to avoid the crytographic service error :)

For some reason I am having a real difficult time getting the installer to work today. I've got to go to work in a couple of hours but I will work on this when I get home.

For the tinkering types out there you can try editing the two lines in install.bat that say "sleep 1". The number one is the amount of time the installer will pause before trying to do the file swap. Fast machines need less time to do the swap and slow machines can use slightly higher numbers.

The WMP team hearts all users. There's "N" people on the team spread across "Y" projects. Some choices have to be made to ensure that your favorite project gets due diligence. This very particular beta is Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP beta.

The right people at Microsoft are aware of the desire for this. :)

Sorry for the delay guys. I have been real busy at work (training new guys) and haven't had much time to myself. There are two update.INF's thechief55 is talking about. They're both located in the update folder inside of both wmp11.exe and wmfdist11.exe. I'm still working on this but I am about to give up. I cannot understand why something that worked time after time one night wouldn't work the next. If I hadn't been able to replicate it so many time on three pc's I wouldn't have released anything.

Possible Tip: If you have a very fast pc try bogging it down by running a bunch of programs. This may slow things down enough to give the installer enough time to do the swap.

anyone with an update to get around the cryptographic services thing yet?

I am almost positive I've gotten this working correctly. I've reformatted my laptop and desktop computers and have successfully installed WMP11 on both. I am installing WinS2k3 in VmWare now, when finished I will post a video of my new installer in action. I am trying to get this done before I leave for work but if not I will post the video tonight. I am going to test the new installer for a few more days and then if anyone is still interested I will post it.

Thanks, worked well, also got it to work on XPSP1 by taking out the "2k3" line in the bat file and changing the min nt service pack version to 0 in the original update.inf and then just running the bat file :)

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
