Revolutions Pack Live 6 Release Notes
Highlights
- 7 Languages supported: English, Dutch, France, Polish, Spanish,
Russian and Italian.
- ^^ You can change your Windows language after installing!
- Vista Basic ('RC1') styling
- ^^ That means new super-improved skinning engine!
- Improved installation&uninstallation
- ^^ That means no longer restore.bat, SP2 and other bull****!
Too much changes to list.
Instead, some useful info:
Installation
- You've probably already extracted archive contents and started
setup.exe.
- Now, there are prerequisites your system should met.
- And Next button.
- Click it!
- Darn good.
Installation notes
- It is good to reboot before trying to install.
- If "Sorry" dialog pops up, you should do what it says.
- Make sure your computer is not more than 6 years old.
- Make sure that you have turned off all that Windows ME file
protection.
- ^^ and make a good backup if you want to try RPLite6 on that OS.
[Uninstallation]
- Now you're probably disappointed in RPLite6.
- Go to Control Panel, select 'Revolutions Pack 6 Components' (or
something like that in your language)
- And remove it.
- Got bad webview? Fix it by running regsvr32 webvw.dll. Make sure
that %windir%\web exists.
Using
- ^^Lameskin. This is a name for the RPLite6 skinning technology.
- It is enabled but not activated by default.
- There are 3 skins installed with RPLite6.
- Find them in Display Properties->Appearance.
- Press Apply.
- Tweak fonts. Tweak Something
Else.
- Press Apply. And so forth.
- Use rpconfig (Start-Run-rpconfig.exe) to completely disable or
enable LameSkin.
Setup.exe <very useful> switches
setup.exe [/silent |
/verysilent] [/noinstall] [/noreboot] [/nobackup] [/nomui]
[/warez]
Installs Windows 98 SE Revolutions Pack Lite 6.
- /silent: install automatically, display all dialog boxes
and errors, if any.
- /verysilent: install does not display dialog boxes and skips
errors, if any.
- /noinstall: copies, extracts and patches all files into
%temp%\TempRP, but does not execute install.inf's.
- /noreboot: does not automatically reboots.
- /nobackup: does not perfom system backup.
- /nomui: Don't copy MUI
files and save 20+ MB of disk space.
- /warez: FORCE install with
Shell Update without Windows ME CD.
- ^^ You'll probably end with trashed
installation and that's all.
Notes:
- With auto (silent) installing, components requiring Windows ME CD
will be skipped if [HKLM\Software\Revolutions
Pack] "LastPath" won't contain path to Win ME cab files.
- If you don't want to install some components, you may trick Setup
by deleting folders with unnecessary components and using /verysilent
key which doesn't fail on errors while installing.
