Those interested in reducing install time further should look the following:
txtsetup.sif Stage 1: Copies Setup Files to Disk, then reboots
sysoc Stage 2: Optional Coponents, the part that says: Copying Files
syssetup Stage 2: Installing start menu, registering components...
Note: The device detection/installation speed of my release matches microXP 0.82.
MicroXP 0.82 skips Optional Components, and has half the amount of things to register and half the setup files.
That is why it is 5 minutes to install and mine is 10 minutes.
The difference? Mine is indistinguishable from retail in functionality.
His is reduced to be suited for 1 purpose alone: gaming.
For everything else, his edition is useless or should I say problematic; errors, no security policies, administration not possible, sharing hard drive is
automatically on by default, network problem galore....I could go on and on.
Anyhow, sysoc, syssetup are compressed you need to extract first. Make changes then recompress with jcarle "compression bin".
txtsetup.sif you can edit directly.
When making any changes to these files, you have to wrestle with XP.
There might be no errors during the actual installation, but then you go to \windows\setuperr.log and there is bunch of errors because of the changes you
made to the files above. You want that file to be either absent or 0 bytes.
This is my last release.
