So, I’ve found out that “collab.cpl” (and its registry entries + its mui files) has nothing to do with Bluetooth stack and so is needless in my installer.
So I made a new installer without the “collab.cpl” (and relative files/reg entries).
Big thanks to ExpertUser for pointing me to the right file name!

Thanx for the new installer Ascii ! 😉

I’ll remove the extra files in the MUI folders on the weekend. 😎

For the new release, the issue will be not there.

Also I am currently preparing a complete R2 ISO with ALL versions converted.

It will take some time but it’s worth it. 😉

I do not think that there would be a problem slipstreaming some Codecs, Java and Flash in the release. 😎

I do though recognize that I am not a fan of releases with programs already preinstalled as most of the time there is lots of stuff in it that you do not need. 😆

We could eventually post a new topic with a “little” wishlist for the release or we keep posting on this one and I take note of them at home. What you think ? 😉

It stinks theres no way to export my application verifier settings to a file on the hard drive which could be used to implement in your next version of Server 2008 R2, the reason why I ask is if you change the Product Type to 1 in “HighVersionLie” property of Application Verifier you can enable the sleep option in Start Menu as well as change the Logon style to Windows 7 style. I’m referring to when you reboot your machine and as its logging on the little orb thingy spins around with a message saying “Preparing your desktop…” in Windows 7 it just says “Welcome…” you can make it say that when this change.

Refer to my post here for detailed instructions: viewtopic.php?p=7330#p7330

Just repeat the same process for c:windowssystem32winlogon.exe to make Windows Server 2008 R2 start up like Windows 7!

Also on a side note I’d just like to take the opportunity to say.. F**k Google’s “instant search” feature. It’s the most annoying thing on the planet. I keep disabling it but when I clear browser settings for security reasons it defaults back to ON. Stupid google.

I’ll need to work on this part to see what can be done.

I basically think that we can eventually take in consideration for the next release eventually to make 2 : one with apps and one without. 😎

All this is positive feedback and this will help to improve it’s quality and content. 😉

We also need to port Media Center in that case…. 😀

Let’s keep those good ideas up, I’ll get myself some into this winlogon issue over the weekend.

Will keep you updated. 😎

I agree with integrating some programs but then it makes the release bigger and I do not think that it takes so much time to install some Codecs and Firefox. Well that’s my opinion. 😉

By the way, any idea why we have this “People Near Me” icon in CPL ? 😆

Java, C++, flash, Vista+7 codecs would increase the footprint of the ISO but not by that much more, maybe 300,400MB? I think these 4 things every single PC user will use regardless of the browsing habits. They are the BARE Necessities!.. the simple BARE Necessities …Forget about your worries and your strife, I mean the bare necessities…Old Mother Nature’s recipes…That brings the bare necessities of life!

Why not then ! 😉

I’ll get it fixed for the next one DC02 ! 😎

By the way, I named the release that way because the other night whiles I was checking it, I was watching Stargate movie but the Director’s Cut (8mn extra). 😉

For the extra icon, no idea I need to check it out as Ascii said that he has BT stack installed on his R2 and does not have the icon. 😆

Thank you halladayrules !

Nice feedback. 😉

I’ll start from the bottom of the list of thing to change :

1/ I’ll take note of the default homepage for IE and get into the next release. 😉

2/ gameux.dll is applied in the release, I only did not apply the Game Explorer and W7 Games tool from Arris. I left open the choice for the users whether to install Games or not. Maybe I did wrong. 🙁

3/ I did not use RT Server Customization Tool from Ben. I used the good old sysprep way. I have use Ben’s tool once and encountered some problems with R2 network components. It somehow disables some of them and may cause some trouble if you install Server Software such as Symantec Endpoint v11 and higher. I had secr9tos, our Reverse Engineer over w7v take the OS a part to figure out what happened, but without result. 😯

I agree with integrating some programs but then it makes the release bigger and I do not think that it takes so much time to install some Codecs and Firefox. Well that’s my opinion. 😉

4/ I’ll fix a less flashy Logon for the next one. Maybe someone on here has some good Photoshop skills to fix us a pic for imageres.dll. What you think ?

5/ For the last thing on the loader, I would suggest more uODIN or ODIN from secr9tos to activate the release, let’s say it’s not a loader way it’s a little more elaborate and get your copy activated just like a PC with SLIC 2.1 .

By the way, any idea why we have this “People Near Me” icon in CPL ? 😆

Thank you for trying out the release and I hoped you liked it.

We will do better on the next one. 😉

Hi Ascii !

The reason the files are in is because I used the initial System32 and Syswow64 folder I made for a previous version of R2, the one with the 5 LP’s integrated, where everything was set to have also BT working.

Having already 5 languages done I only had 30 W7 x64 releases to go ! 😆

It’s question of organizing the file integration in the install.wim file.

Basically it does not harm if the files are there, except that there is an extra icon in CPL that in not operational.

Nevertheless I will investigate further to see why it’s there. ❓ ❗ ❓

I’ve found a small bug!
There is a “People Near Me” shortcut in the Control Panel, but if you try to click it, nothing happens. 😕

Well it’s not really a bug !

I explain why :

It’s comes with the bluetooth stack you made (collab.cpl) 😎

Since the stack it’s not really installed and operational, icon in Control Panel is there but not working. LMFAO !

I will give you my personal review after I have downloaded and installed it. I will seed after I installed (for convenience)! I will copy the .torrent and ISO image to my D: and reinstall uTorrent and seed after I have completed all the updates/patches for windows, plus tweaked it to my liking! 🙂 I have a base image install of R2 to go back on so if i don’t like it it won’t be a problem, which I don’t think will be a problem you must a lot of effort into this and I think it deserves some props.

I hope it’s positive … 😆

No worries about the seeding I added open trackers to the torrent.

Well enjoy testing then. 😉

Please torrent this, its a pain in the butt to do it the “Megaupload” or “Rapidshare” way.

Will be done tonight !

TY Ascii ! 😉

Perfect ! 😉

I’ll get the release finished tonight and start to upload.

Got the message halladayrules 😉

Now this how far we are tonight : 😎

1/ Files for MigWiz from the 35 W7 x64 releases are done 😉

2/ Files for System Restore from the 35 W7 x64 releases too 😉

Now I integrated all files in the release but I will not apply the installer. I’ll put it in a separate folder, so the user can decide to use it or not. It will be fully working. 😎

3/ Files for Bluetooth Stack are also integrated, same issue, I put in the same folder the BT Installer 😉

4// Games will work with all LP’s too. Same here, the installers for Game_Explorer and Win7Games will be in the folder

Rest of W7 packs will be fully functional as usual.

I think it’s a good deal to have everything available and ready to be used.

Please let me know what you think. 💡

Add it, add it, add it … 😀

BTW: Is it your intention that it isn’t possible to choose the install language at installation? There is only “English” available … And I also know that the correct language is available after the installations … But … 😉

PS: Greetings to the principality! 😀

Yes it is !

There are no LP’s installed, but all the MUI files from 35 W7 x64 releases for the 35 LP available for R2. 😀

See 1st post !

This is how it works :

1/ You install R2 in English

2/ Once all done you add the LP you need, let’s say French

3/ Once rebooted you’ll have R2 in French with all W7 Extras working in French language.

And this for all 35 LP’s. 😉

You can’t slipstream 35 LP in the release, it will be like 10 GB size iso. 😆

There will be a delay in the release of the version I am going to integrate System Restore and

a fix for Easy Transfer. Please be patient.

Hi halladayrules !

I am already uploading the release… 🙁 🙁 🙁

Too bad. But…

I read the topic on System Restore, real nice work.

Well I can still add both tools to the release and upload it later in the week.

What you think ? 😉
