Morishani Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I keep the first post updated with information about that. It will work with Windows XP X64 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehouserat Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It will work with Windows XP X64 too? erm have you not read the main post... it clearly states that it will currently not work with vista x64 and to stop asking about it. when a solution is found, i'm sure vertigosity will update us with whats going on.

plamen Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is the last version of the patcher compatible with Vista SP1? Do we need to uninstall the previous build before putting the new one? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is the last version of the patcher compatible with Vista SP1? Do we need to uninstall the previous build before putting the new one?Cheers! Yeah, there's nothing different about SP1 from SP0 as far as this is concerned. You'll need to restore system files before installing the new build, but you don't need to uninstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to restore system files before installing the new build, but you don't need to uninstall. I am mentioning it because I am with SP 1 and it seems that the patcher did not changed some things (or it did its job 50-50) for example - only the folders that are newly created or sub folders are "brown" (Like the tango theme) the rest are still yellow, the same is with the icons of the hard drives in my computer (only drive c: is with the new icon) the rest are the default vista icons. The same is with the control panel(but I know that they are not yet completed). Maybe something to do with SP1? Other than that works like a charm!

Other than that works like a charm!Sounds like it didn't clear the icon/thumbnail cache... That's probably not SP1, it's more likely I need to add a different path(s) to search in for thumbnail files. Of course, I have no idea what those would be...

vertigosity Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Just as a random update/FYI/heads up to anyone interested, I'm now legitimately licensed for 64-bit Ultimate (I've had enough re-arming, and 2GB isn't enough for Vista pretties + gaming, so I got 4GB). Oddly enough, five minutes after I posted my order, I checked my DA account, and saw this comment: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/78022625/705722394 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 when trying this on vista ultimate 32 sp1 I get: File not successfully reshacked: c:\Windows\explorer.exe What Gives?

I'm guessing reshack itself is failing - while you've got that message open, look for an explorer.exe.log or reshack.log file in the patcher's directory.

vertigosity Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Is restorator scriptable? Scriptability is one of its key features... but at $90, it's definitely commercial. I don't really want to have non-free dependencies... but its feature set looks seriously appropriate. But at least, if I bought a copy I could redist enough bits of it necessary to mod other people's systems, rather than tell everyone to buy something... I've been pretty busy lately, so I'll leave testing it on a 64-bit machine to someone else; their specifications page says it should work, though.

Rebdomine Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Vertigosity, can't you make a little simple guide, that tells which files to mod and which icons go where and stuff if you get what i mean. Im willing to mod the system files manually, to obtain tango icons lol. Seriusly.... I've done lots of modding, so i dont need no patcher :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
