Hello, aquaxp's board is screwed up again and i'm unable to post there.
The error returned was:Sorry, you do not have permission to reply to that topic
Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the installer? What should I do?
*edit - well, I chose ignore and 4 or 5 more errors popped up.
yeah I had the same thing, just keep clicking ignore, thats what I did, and it installs fine
I have installed this twice and no changes have been made. The only thing that changed was when I started IE - the icons where missing - had to add them back into the toolbar but the icons were not changed as well.
did you restart after installing?
yes, of course - 
hmmmm, did you have the file protection warnings popping up, while installing this, again I did, whihc i always presumed to be the sign that file modding was working. Other than that, Im not really sure why this wouldnt work, ill think some more though
I installed again and i'm going to reboot manually after a few minutes to see if any more popups show up.
Is anyone else having trouble over at aquaxp? I cannont use any functions over there (PM or posting) will someone inform them of the trouble?
Nope - Does not work. I waited some 15 minutes to reboot. No files were replaced. I guess i'll try in safe mode now.
Ok, no errors in safe mode - I did not see any system file replacement popups either though. Upon reboot, the only change I see is log on.

First of all, I would like to thank Croka99 for all his hard work to finally make an installer for Pack's System Files... I could only imagine the very tiresome efforts involved especially tweaking the shell32.dll...
Previously, I have manually installed all of Iceman's System Files for XP SP1 (of course) and was very pleased with the results, however the manual replacing 'wore a little on my nerves'...lol!
I had just completed a 'clean install' of my WinXP SP1 system, and the only file that has been modified is the uxtheme.dll, so that I could apply some great OSX style (msstyle) themes from our great themers...
Unfortunately, after installing this package, (21 MB) D/L from aqua-xp (thanks Shak for updating the link), after rebooting, I found only 1/4 of the icons replaced...Thinking that I needed to clear my 'icon cache'with TweakUI, it still remains the same...
On my Start Panel (WinXP Style), the Help & Support, Control Panel, Run, ect. did not change at all...all system folders were still the WinXP default (yellow), and after further investigation, I found out that my shell32.dll had not changed at all...Dialogs did not change...
Now, I use this laptop for fun, so another clean install is not a big deal...I do realize that any radical modification like this can cause these issues, and I am not unhappy, but slightly disappointed...I did notice that when the installer was performing, it did list files like Explorer.exe, shell32.dll, ect. as 'skipped'...
I did run the uninstaller, but this took (2) times to complete, with a lot of 'copy not performed' listed...please I really appreciate the efforts put forth for this, but I am just relating my experience...I am sure that other member will have complete success...
I just would like to 'find/figure' out why this happened with my very clean system of WinXP SP1....btw, I do have installed all the critical hotifixes for WinXP SP1, prior to trying this package out...Hopefully we as mature individuals, can work within our great communities and our very knowledgable collective membership, to come up with possible rectifiable solutions...
Regards
This was posted at aquaxp initially...all installations performed without any errors, but the final results less then what I desired...btw: WFP (Windows File Protection) did come on acouple times, so I assumed that all was going to be fine...
i actually had the exact same experience with mine installation as gahbmwM5's... files showed up in the installation as 'skipped'. also, on the uninstall, i got the 'copy not performed' and the entry on the add/remove list did not delete (if i clicked on remove again, it actually looked like it was performing the uninstall all over again). I did get all of the file protection popups, so i thought i was good to go, but like stated in earlier posts, only a few changes were actually implemented. I don't want to give up, it looks like it's close to success...
:Jewish: (this is what i look like, "aquajew")

es.xxi,
No reason to...We all are here to experience the wonderful work and efforts of all who make our communities so grand...
Take the example of Three Drives who is currently developing a msstyle theme based on an OSX Panther OS...he has been graciously assisted by Iceman, KoL, ja450n, and other fine talented members that we are so fortunate to have...
Everyone is contributing so that all our membership may enjoy...that's the true beauty of the Aqua Commuinities and the spirit that should be displayed...
es.xxi ... when your mod pack install work snay better, you might even think of it, until then? No you can't.
As I have said else where, NEITHER of these have made significant changes on my system. I uninstalled what hotfixes I could, and no better.
So what gives guys?
Cheers
i say we should have windowsX make an installer too 
my newest version comming out at AquaXP will fix your problems, and i do have Pack's Full Permission; As of Today!
Final Final version of my installer is now available at AquaXP.com
it adds a few Themes, and little enhancements to the installer!
I was just at aquaxp, i don't see a new link, all there is are the old mirrors that were 21mb. the one on your website is 22.5? aquaxp said it was going to be 24.
so, so, so confused

Excuse me! I suppose 'did you try both installers in safe mode?' isn't a helpful comment is it? No, of course not I should go around advertising my installer in other people's threads shouldn't I, like a certain someone.
CAClarkes.xxi ... when your mod pack install work snay better, you might even think of it, until then? No you can't.
I presume you mean 'stay better'. If both installers don't work I highly doubt it's mine AND croka99's installers being faulty but probubly either your computer just won't accept the changes or your not following instructions.

Yes, I'm sorry but sometimes I just get pissed off with people.
The new version of the installer is on his website, but his website is down. I asked him to let me know where to get it and I can host it for him for a while. Hopefully he will let me.

Easy guy, my comment wasn't meant to be rude as it may have sounded. I HAVe followed instruxtions, run both in safe mode, removed as many hotfixes as windows will allow, but neither fully modefy eveything they are supposed to, for example, file copying still have flying yellow folders, HOWEVER, file downloading has the aqua style. So I dunno what the deal is, but it isn't inherrently a problem my end, more a potential generalised failure if the installers to replace the files required. I'll keep trying though 
Cheers!
hello all, i would prefer that i do not get in the middle of a flame war here, but i have noticed that im the only one here to actually try to fix my installer!
i have rewriten the whole installer from scratch!!!!
and i have tested my installer on a fresh windows xp install, so i know it works flawlessly.
check aquaxp.com often for updates!!!
Sorry croka99, but your site is down.
sorry but my site is only on from 7am to 9pm Pacific Standard Time!!!
so at the moment its on!!
