[febelus]

thx

Some more information would be helpfull... like do you run XP embeded or ordinary XP with minlogon?

If you are running XP embeded some other important things could be missing.

Maybe you can post your error.log from the centrafuse dir?

Kindly regards,
Tore

Ok, then i can't help you, but maybe there is missing support for minlogon and david should look into this issue...

Kindly regards,

I'm also having problems with minlogon, with mine CF loads and wants to go through the initial setup again each time, once loaded the buttons for plugins do not display and nothing works. choosing to exit CF (I run it as shell) causes both explorer and CF to load again causing the initial setup to be run again.

My feeling is that there is something in winlogon.exe that CF relies on. support for minlogon.exe would be great.

Thanks

Hi to you.
Are you sure that you have removed an earlyer version of CF, it may be the problem with the initial setup again and again.Could be the whole problem.

JOFO is right, this sounds more like an issue where you've tried to install RC 4.1 over RC 4 without first uninstalling _AND_ manually deleting the original RC 4 folder. You HAVE to do this.

Also... If you're trying to use a stripped version of XP (for example, nLite'd) then it's been shown that CF simply doesn't like that.

Also #2... You're talking about MinLogon on the standard desktop version of XP, right? i.e., you're NOT trying to run XP Embedded? I don't know that MinLogon is "supposed" to work on Standard XP, and the other side is that I don't know that CF will work with XPE.

Also #3... Check out a post from "wishie" (post #15) in this old thread:
Centrafuse XLE RC1 Bugs. He never got a response, but it may be worth a shot to drop him a PM and see if he still has the problems.

I am using an nlited version of Windows although I I have done it carefully and left most of the origional install intact. CF runs fine in this config but acted strange with minlogon.exe. I didn't manually delete the Centrafuse folder, just ran the uninstall routine from add/remove. I have updated to RC4.2 now so will test again and if still no joy will manually delete the folder and try again.

Thanks guys

Again after a little play with minlogon on nLited WXP i discovered that problem with repeating CF setup screen and all other troubles comes from fact that when you logon as system your environment variable list is not including temp tmp paths in the right way you should set temp and tmp variables by hand in My computer>Properties>Advanced>Environment variables.
My working environmet looks like this:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Desktop>set
COMPUTERNAME=SA
ComSpec=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
FP_NO_HOST_CHECK=NO
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1
OS=Windows_NT
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\Sys tem32\Wbem
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WS F;.WSH
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 6 Model 9 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel
PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6
PROCESSOR_REVISION=0908
PROMPT=$P$G
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS
TEMP=C:\TEMP
TMP=C:\TEMP
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Default User
windir=C:\WINDOWS

In a short - play with environment variables and CF will work with minlogon.
btw the best is to set variables first before even installing .Net framework and CF.

I`m getting the same problem with nlite version of windows 2003
I have tried uninstall of centrafuse, .net and reboot and editing env settings and then reinstall but and still getting the same bug as above.

Attached are my errors and xml files.

Will carry on playing, I have had other nlite installs and have had no probs with centrafuse hmmm.
