Any XPlite believers in here???

[GuriaTru]

Ok Guys and Goils__I have had a quick look around
for the quick answer, its not evident.
I am playing with a totally new install of XP PRo
(no updates) - its Ver2505 from memory.
Anyways,, I am trying to invoke the XPlite mod to
the OS and no way can I get the "simple install"
to activate from Windows.
What is it with that?
http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html

I have tried both the Free Trial and the <ahemmm>
testing version of Xplite Gold with exactly the
same result each time, nada !
There is a minor amount of HDD activity but no
dialog Pop or Boot to D0S console as in earlier
versions. Logged in as Admin using the
HKLM..//Dword=Admin
hack or simply logged on as the default Admin,
no diff.
SysRestore is turned off.
I have tried pointing the D0S CLI at it (in Windows).

Fast running out of ideas here for this Simple Install<G>
HAS anyone any experience on this version of NT
using this tool?
I have had mobs of success with its predecessors
through 98Lite and the earlier IEradicate for 95B-OSR2
and have a high regard for the freedom offered.
So you can see I dearly would love the same
advantages in this XP box ? 8-D

Kick in please,, maybe I have something to offer too?

Thanks for the time.

I guess you ably demonstrate that preclusive comprehension IS the prime
criteria in the MS skillset.

You posted here to get the exact response that you received. Why would you
be surprised?

You are apparently having a problem with that program you are trying to use.
Do they offer tech support or have their own newsgroups/forums or did your
original post hint that you are using an illegal version?

Haven't tried Debian, but I have a partition with RH Linux v9 that hasn't
really impressed me yet.

This was a release candidate version of XP. The older it gets, the more
problems you are likely to encounter. Many system files will remain at
older versions that current software may not work well with.

Your insults of others seems free flowing while displaying your own
vast ignorance.
I suggest you read your own post for a likely answer to your issue.

Did you contact the application manufacturer?
Did you also explain you are using Windows XP RCI?
Do you know all licenses to use RC1 expired more than 2 years ago.
Did it occur to you that changes made to the released product may be
part or all of the reason you have installation troubles.

Did you consider buying a legal copy and getting rid of your illegal
version?
If not there may be better places to attempt to get support for your
illegal version.

READ "customise" and rethink your observation Buddy.

Thats a hell of a fishing line full of gang hooks U r trailing there
Buddy. Find your own solutions/answers. I am *not* working for you.

Why am I not surprised? RH is exactly the spawn of like minded persons
who sit in NGs as this one. Picking their snot , rolling it into little
balls and flicking the projectile at unwary passers by.
Your type will never be impressed or improved.

Live with it.

Its been fun folks,, but I really MUST leave you to your dwaddlings.
Another group that follows a similar genre gets 150 posts in 12hrs.
You guys manage a whole 35. That must tell you something.

I am outa here.

...that is simply not correct Sharon, bordering on mischievous
maliciousness even.
Many know *exactly* what 2505 is, many more have/do use the GUI
quite successfully.
Your statement is more of a promotion of - "upgrade"' "upgrade"
"upgrade" - than of any real worth to an observer.
But then that would be "par for the course in here <m.p.w.c>, right?
[rhetorical]
Just who did come up with the smartarse idea of placing "customise" in
a hierarchy of MS/pub groups,, its some sort of sick joke, yeh?

My need was to interface the GUI with a real OS, *that* is why my post
went up.
XPLite offers the opportunity to reduce this 'Bloatware' to a footprint
that is manageable, very easily. No doubt I could achieve the same thing
with work Why reinvent the wheel, something you Micro****e believers are
quite adept at promoting and That is about the limit of your skills.

Hi GT,

XPLite WORKS on legit versions of XP and is a fantastic program.
Your problems are being caused by the fact that you are using a copy of XP
that expired years ago. ALL activations of 2505 are blocked.
2505 was the RC 1 candidate for Windows XP that was released to the public
as a preview with a 180 day license for it's use. The fact that people have
cracked it and continued using it illegally is something between those
people and their conscience. Just don't expect to post your problems to MS
operated newsgroups and not be ridiculed for your stupidity,

To top that off you clearly stated that you tried using a bootleg copy of
XPLite as well--no wonder you are afraid to contact their customer support
<G>

You seem to have all the answers so you figure it out on your own. I use
several third party customizing programs with a valid and current XP and
have no trouble running any of them.

All good points, Larry. For the record, I really wasn't trying to pass
judgment one way or the other about the version of XP being used. Rather
the point I was trying to make is that current software, especially a shell
replacement, is tuned to work with existing operating systems and their
supported file versions.
