Hi. I've put this thread up for two reasons - firstly all the guides I've found don't quite seem to put all the info down. Secondly I would like to confirm I am doing everything right.
Please note this takes some time to do - doubt it can be done in one day.
Prequisites:
Laptop with real serial port set in bios to com2
XP SP3 install cd
Xentry install media - 7/12,9/12,11/12&1/13
WIS/ASRA 1/2013 media
EPC 8/2012 media
EPC 1/2013 media
PL_67
SDMedia 1/2013 media
Newguide2i
Missing pictures fix - 7/12,9/12,11/12&1/13
All Xentry addons for 7/12,9/12,11/12&1/13
Fixed bin folders (if using c3) for 7/12,9/12,11/12&1/13
Standalone das32r2 for 7/12,9/12,11/12&1/13
Appid253 fix (vboxservice)
Starfinder v3/2008
Daemon tools lite
1. Install XP SP3 creating two users - OWNER and STAR, install all drivers. Don't update, disable updates and security centre.
1a. Set laptop serial port to com2, ensure no conflicting devices, set to 8/n/1 no flow control, fifo on, and speed 115200.
2. Make Partitions as per newguide2i.
2. Make minor tweaks to xp (e.g. show quicklaunch, disable tooltray autohide, show extensions of known types). Matter of preference this step.
3. Change date to 11.10.12.
4. Apply wfpswitch from newguide2i, ensure in the window it is deactivating wfp, and don't reboot until you get a prompt about keeping unrecognised files (click cancel for this)
5. Copy i386 folder from windows cd to c:\, and change installsource in registry (optional but I like incase windows ever asks for cd in future)
6. Copy vboxservice to startup folder. (I tried putting it somewhere else and putting a shortcut in startup to avoid an idiot totally deleting the .exe but this didn't always give appid253). I'm toying with idea of adding registry entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and hiding .exe but I haven't tested this yet.
6. Install prepare.bat from newguide2i then press enter twice to reboot.
8. Burn 7/12 DVD 1 and put into laptop.Check cd drive is lettered G:\.
9. Create desktop shortcut to newguide - after installation.bat (sometimes starsecure won't allow access to folders after install and after installation installs starinsecure to fix this).
10. Run G:\stardiag\setup.exe. This will reboot once, then you need to run again, then it will reboot and resume itself and run to completion. Enter startkeys when prompted (I've found no need to enter earlier, and sometimes startkey centre keeps showing appid252, but when installing the proper startkey centre shows 253)
11. Either copy 7/12 dvd 2 image to laptop and mount image or put dvd in drive and run G:\stardiag\setup.exe. When this finishes, press windows+d and run after installation.bat from newguide2i, then click finish on install to allow reboot.
12. Optional - good time to take an image.
13. Apply 7-12 Photo fix
14. Apply cal.sli blacklist fix to F:\program\Xentry\llist (mark read only)
15. Apply 7.12 fixed bin folder if needed for c3, and if using c3, mod C:\userdata\config\HHTwin.ini-> SLAVE=PARTD2, F:\Program\Das\bin\cal.ini -> SLAVE = PARTD2. Mark files as read only
16. Apply all Addons.
17. Apply dasr32 standalone fix.
18. Confirm hhtwin.ini / cal.ini haven't reverted to previous values
19. Optional - Take Image.
19a. Install SDMedia 2013
20. Install EWA 2013-1/ASRA using Patrian's guide.
21. Install EPC to 2012-8, then 2013-1 using Patrian's guide
22. Finish config EWA/ASRA to 2013-1 using Patrian's guide, and install PL_67
23. Copy starfinder.iso and mount to unused drive letter like z:
24. Install Autodesk Whip from starfinder dvd
25. Take another image
26. Either mount dvd image or put 9/12 dvd in drive g:\
27. run G:\stardiag\setup.exe and when it prompts it has finished, run after installation.bat again before clicking finish.
28. Apply 9/12 Photos fix
29. Install all 9/12 addons
30. Reapply steps 14-18
31. Optional - image
32. Burn 11/12 dvd 1 and put in G:\ drive. Install like step 10 except no need to enter key.
33. Run 11/12-2 either from mounted image or real dvd. Before clicking finish run after installation.bat
34. Install 11/12 Photos Fix
35. Install 11/12 addons.
36. Reapply steps 14-18
37. Optional - Image.
38. Either mount dvd image or put 1/13 dvd in drive g:\
39. run G:\stardiag\setup.exe and when it prompts it has finished, run after installation.bat again before clicking finish.
40. Apply 1/13 Photos fix
41. Install all 1/13 addons
42. Reapply steps 14-18
43. Optional - image
44. Add desktop shortcut for F:\Programme\DAS\bin\dasr32.exe,
F:\Programme\DAS\bin\simdas.exe -*CALsimu -*ctxtsim.sli -*nolog -*len and f:\programme\HHT\PKW HHTPKW.EXE to get standalone shortcuts for everything, and copy xentry standalone to desktop. Copy missing icons just made to xentry start menu folder if desired.
45. Open control panel, admin tools, services, then disable star online update bg service and stop it to disable auto updates.
46. Use this solution to disable silly 2013 shell and ensure SDNC starts http://mhhauto.com/Thread-DAS-Xentry-01-...l-solution
47. regedit and delete this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings
48. Open ie and go to internet options, security, and enable automatic prompting for download, and enable file download, then go to content tab and disable content advisor.
49. Delete c:\programme\sdnetcontrol\networkfilter.exe
50. Create Desktop shortcuts and ie shortcuts for http://localhost:9000/EWA-net, and another for the htm file in root of starfinder dvd.
51. Open starfinder, it will prompt about installing japanese language pack. If you skipped step 5 you will need to insert the xp sp3 cd you installed from.
53. Copy xentry wallpaper to c:\windows\web\wallpaper and enable
54. Image
55. Enjoy.
My questions - firstly can the experts please comment if I am doing anything wrong? I know we can install from 11/12 not using 7/12 & 9/12 but this gives hhtwin.ini error and I have seen no proof this will cause no problems
Secondly, what are opinions on removing Symantec and replacing with Microsoft Security Essentials?
Thirdly - I'm using a d630 and cannot get the left part of sdnc is greyed out for workshop wifi connection. Is there any way to make this work (I've tried adding a second wifi nic but sdnc says this can cause more problems). I can select other options but I just want to use the "proper" one if possible to make it look tidy.
Finally, will it cause problems to install recent version of adobe acrobat or ms office?
Please note this takes some time to do - doubt it can be done in one day.
