UXTheme Patch wont install because of NT setup files??

G18241 · 2 Jan 2008 at 10:46

Just tried to install the UXTheme Patch on my reformatted laptop and it says there are Windows NT Setup files on C: and that it will not continue

Any ideas My laptop has XP and i have just updated it to SP2

slipstream sp2 into your cd, then install xp

could use nlite to do the slipstream, and it has the option to apply the uxtheme patch before installation

im pretty sure before it had been formatted i had UXTheme on it though

this error was coming up before SP2 as well

seems a lot of messing around just make it look pretty

uxtheme patches are designed to be run on the newest sp generally

get the one from neowin or softpedia

slipstream sp2 into xp, then install it -much tidier

am i going to have to uninstall SP2 then or will that nLite automatically just integrate everything?

copy xp disc to C:\xpcd
install nlite (and .net 2 framework to run it)
download the ~270mb sp2 file, point nlite at the c:\xpcd folder, select Service Pack Slipstream, then point it at the sp2 exe

select the make iso page too in nlite, then use that to make your new xpsp2 cd

then reboot pc with new cd in, format partitions, and install xpsp2

dont have xp disk for laptop, its a preinstalled one

tbh that really does seem to much messing about, i know ive done it before thats the only thing that is bugging me

no worries, thanks anyway mate but ill just stick with xp theme for the time being

yeah thats the folder it told me about, i just renamed it soemthing like i386a or soemthing, installed the patch and then changed the name of the folder back

could always try just moving the folder to desktop or soemthing then moving it back again?
