Browseui.dll - sp1 - 64-bit

[junk angel]

Hello.

I've run multiple themes on my win XP with no problems at all.

Recently I've got a notebook with an self made install of vista home premium - 64-bit. I've managed to patch the three basic files with vistaglazz without any issues.

But when I try to replace the browseui I get into problems.

I managed to get the registry hack working, which gives me control over said file.

Afterthat, supposedly all I have to do is rename the file and copy paste a new one in there.

The renaming goes without problems, but when I try to copy a custom one, I get a pop up if I want to overwrite browseui.dll (renanmed original into broseui.dll.old) and in the end it does not allow me to do so, as it's apparently still in use.

If I try to put

%systemroot%\system32\browesui.dll into explorer's address bar, it tells me, it can't locate said file.

I've also tried it with restorator - that does no difference.

As a last option I tried renaming the file, killing explorer in the task manager and copying the new browseui with winrar.

That did work.

But when I tried to either restart explorer or the entiriety of windows, I get a crash with explorer saying that it cannot locate browseui.dll.

One more thing. I've even tried turning off themes in services.msc (motivy in my language version of vista (cz) and it still does not allow me to overwrite the original file even if it's renamed.

Even restoring the old one does nothing.

And I've got to say it's total fun running system restore from the task manager.

Any help on getting modded browseui's to work would be appriciated.

Weird.. Im able to just take ownership of the file, rename it to something random and put in a new then reboot :s you do take ownership?

[junk angel]

Well unless I'm messing something up in this step, then yes I am.

;p

[Malskazz]

Should do it :s.. Weird..

It says it cannot locate browseui.dll? Are you certain the file name is correct :s?

Also, in 64-bit you must also mod the browseui.dll in SysWOW64

[junk angel]

Now that is something no one mentioned before :p

So I have to take ownership of both the browseui in system32 and syswow64, rename and copy the new one (designed for 64-bit)

Correct?

Thanks :)

Update

Apparently I can replace the one in syswow64 without issues.

But sadly, still have the very same problem with the one in system32.

I turned hidden system files off. and searched for browseui

Could someone tell me, if I have to replace any extras apart from the one in syswow54 and system32.

Here are the results of the search.

Nope, the rest are either just cache or something, and the .mui files is text.

Hmm.. Uninstall your current take ownership reg entry, and get this one: http://www.herbystweaks.net/files/TakeOwn.zip (use shift + right click to see it)

Try with that see if you can do it with that one

Sadly still the very same problem.

Just to make a sort of double check, I also looked into the folder with firefox.

And weirdly it lists a lot browseuis in the system32 folder than I can see. I only see one. The one I give the old extension.

But firefox shows me this
