        Description
        HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup makes it easy to automatically start sharing your music, picture, video, and document libraries with other people in your home.

          Anybody have a list of the HomeGroup components? I need it so that I can work on getting HomeGroup to work.

              Bump: WHS “Vail” has Homegroup support.
              It’s actually just a rebranded SVR2k8R2 Std. Now, time to see what makes it tick.

                  Well, I made some progress…
                  Here’s my installer for Home Group feature.
                  All files seems to be correctly copied from Win 7, but it doesn’t work… 😕

                          Well, here’s a new installer. I added all the p2p files and services, but it still doesn’t work… 🙁

                              The HomeGroup service “does not implement the service”

                                  Try to add “homegrouplistener” to “LocalSystemNetworkRestricted” Multi-SZ string and “homegroupprovider” to “LocalServiceNetworkRestricted” Multi-SZ string in “HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSvchost”.

                                      Hmm, seems as that Homegroup has 2 services which need to start at the same time.

                                          I got my service running after copying lots of dll, registries… but still I can not create new group, the control panels are already in place.

                                              I am trying to get this to work. I have “raped” Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition of its homegroup components and registries. I reviewed most of the registies to determine what files are used and wher they are. I have attached everything i came up with and the file structure.
