I did a bit more on these icons and need your feedback before I can make the installer for them.

Thanks Mark.

so these are x64 only or can we still use imageres.dll and what not from the system32 folder on x86?

Edit:I tried the installer assuming the syswow64 variants would be ignored since i'm running 32bit Windows, needless to say it didn't work

come on with the x86 icons Mark!!

BTW, these are exactly wot i wanted a while ago?

Yo Mr Grimm:
I d\L the new black and gold icons and they won't install. Maybe its because I'm using the 7100RC and not the 7600RTM. Could that be the reason that they won't install. I uninstalled the glossy blue icons first but no joy in installing the new black and gold icons. BTW I don't use system restore, I use a product called "Rollback RX" to restore my system to a previous time. That means I don't have a system restore point. Since I don't have a system restore point would that interfere with the installation process of the black and gold icons?

Hi FyrmnJ, it might be because you have the RC but it should still install regardless I believe, although I think there are issues with API functions if you use the RTM dll on the RC, it might have something to do with the system restore being switched off also, You might want to check if the backup dll's are removed as well otherwise that will stop the installer from functioning.

If you don't have any other modified system files you can run sfc /scannow and that will restore the default icons but you will still need to remove the backups manually.

I will make a 7100 version as well if you like although you should be using 7600 by now as I assume most people would be.

Also @ Matt, I will make a x86 installer shortly.

 

[FyrmnJ]

Mr. Grimm can you tell me exactly where those backup DLL files are that have to be deleted, thanks. I don't want to delete the wrong ones.

Here are the installers for 7100 x64 and 7600 x86

7100 RC Black & Gold Icon Pack X64
Download




7600 RTM Black & Gold Icon Pack X86
Download



The files you need to delete are in the system32 and SysWOW64, the name of those files in both directories will be:

imageres.dll.bak
imagesp1.dll.bak
shell32.dll.bak

Okay i download the7100RC x64 black and gold icons, and deleted the files that you instructed me to. I get the error that is shown in the attachment:

 

[Mark]

OK I think I am going to need Generators help with this, he is the man who made the installers and I just modded one for the new set but I may have stuffed up somewhere.

Too add a little more info here, keep in mind that the glossy blue icons installed with no problems.

Grimmy,

I am taking a look at the two install.cmd in WinMerge - you've missed a couple of Black and Gold substitutions for Blue / Ultimate, but other than that I cannot see anything wrong.

BTW, why is the 64bit one for build 7100 only and the 32bit for RTM?

nm - found the original 7600 x64

 

[johngalt]

I should probably get the original files that you modified - where are those, Grim?

There is also a x64 for Rtm
Here it is http://virtualcustoms.net//Custom_Icons/Black&Gold_x64.7z

Yeah, found it when I went searching back, thanks Sergio.

These icons look impressive. But I need to find the *original* files that Grimmy modified for this set so I can see what is going om there - using WinMerge, I can (should be able to anyway) find the error easily enough....

 

[Generator]

The "'Gold' is not recognized.." error is now fixed although that wouldn't effect the install. (The system picks up the '&' as a command in the packs title so it needed replacing with the word 'and'.)


@FyrmnJ: that screen will only appear if the backups still exist in your 'C:\windows\system32\' folder. re-check you have deleted them.

(there is a batch file included with the icons package in the 'Data' folder called 'UninstallCleanup.cmd' that deletes the files for you as mentioned in the readme.)
