Windows 7 - How to change boot animation in Windows 7

glad you got everything back thaimin, you might wanna make a backup.

and you should look into IExpress.exe for your patcher

It's up! v0.0.0.10 Alpha is up!

Coder for Life - Project - Windows 7 Boot Updater

I tested it the best I could in VirtualBox, however I found out that Windows 7 x64 can NEVER resume in VirtualBox, so I had to skip all 64-bit winresume tests.

Hope that this version is much more successful overall. I will be emailing everyone who emailed me through my website tomorrow, so you guys get a "sneak peak".

A couple of major notes about this version:

• It now requires .NET Framework 4.0 (unless you download a version built for .NET Framework 2.0 which I will be fading out)
• The BS7 format changed so old boot skins won't work. If you want yours converted, I can do it for you.

If this version is working well, I will try to release a beta soon, marking the fact that it isn't unstable anymore. My next planned features are:

• Better defaults for winload/winresume based on BCD data (I can find out exactly the winload and winresume you are using)
• Full image backgrounds
• An installer system and a sharing website

If anyone is looking for a good read, look at this: FGA: The Windows NT 6 boot process

I had an old-ish backup (approximately right before Alpha 9 was released). I just made a backup and will be setting it up to do automatic backups from now on... I learned my lesson.

@marcusj0015
Due to "TrustedInstaller" owning all the files I need to modify, CMD scripts don't really work. My program does a bunch of work to make the file accessible. Additionally, just providing modded files means that as soon as a Windows Update comes along, everyone has to make a new installer! Seeing that I now have a DLL version of my program, and a single call can do the update, I just need to make the right package!

Thanks mate, i will let you know how i go.

Hi
the Win7BootUpdater.exe no starting in my Windows 7 64bit sp1 no starting when i starting the exe file !!!

@georg, check your "Windows 7 SP1"

the REAL SP1 gets released today on MSDN.

@Thaimin,
that's true, you could have the takeown command in the cmd file that gets deployed, but it's best you have an actual patcher patch the actual files that are already installed.

@Thaimin,

thank you SO much for writing this app, back when i was thinking about it, and trying to get this project off the ground, you came along, and made my dream come true, thanks.

@Thaimin, you said that you were working with business's like dell, that Windows 7 animation in there comercials, is that your app doing that?

@Joakim
thanks for finding some/all the hacks, you also helped make my dream come true.

DOUBLE POST!

Admin, please remove

Hi my Windows 7 64 Bit SP1 (6.1.7601.17514) working fine !!! When i starting the older version 0.0.0.9 then see the GUI the new version not ???

well, the new version takes like 2 minutes to load for me, but i have aero disabled on this installation.

and,no you probably DO NOT have Windows 7 SP1 RTM.

the version you have is a leaked version, the final version isn't out yet.

the FINAL SP1 comes out today, on technet/MSDN and on 2/22/11 on Windows Update/Microsoft.com

Hi marcusj0015 have you 64Bit ???

Here my PC Windows:

Well i have had many goes at this, and i am unable to get the application to start.

This is the first error


As this is Visual basic 2010 file, i have managed to place this file in the correct path only to get application error when trying to start application.

I have tried this in VM Ware and a normal OS as well as SP1

In a nut shell, i can not get the app to start

keep up the good work
