Re: Boot Screen - Change

I have the same problem that Fatima4rasel have.
"Generate Boot Screen File Failed : Could not find a part of the path 'C:/Windows/system32/boot/he-il/winload.exe.mui' "
Thanks for the help

Re: Boot Screen - Change

Yes I get a similar message, but referring to Windows\System32\Boot\en-GB\winload.exe.mui. Pre-SP1, the file to be altered was, if memory serves, C:\Windows\System32\en-US\winload.exe.mui. Googling for the \en-GB directory (in either place) comes up empty

Re: Boot Screen - Change

Hello AloNs and AvatarOfTheShip,

What was the full path of the Picture location and MUI File location before you clicked on the Apply button?

Re: Boot Screen - Change

Brink - hi I downloaded a few .mui files which are in, um, D:\Resources\Vista Cosmetic\Bootscreens and the pictures I tried were in D:\Resources\Pictures. Is the prog expecting them to be in a specific place?

Re: Boot Screen - Change

No, but I was seeing if maybe there might be a common location for the people that are getting this error. Not sure why you would be getting that error yet.

Re: Boot Screen - Change

Maybe its because i did an update to the computer and accidentally downloaded a lot of language packs.
It could be it? because it's searching for the system language in the boot folder in system32...

Re: Boot Screen - Change

Seems like it could be related. Otherwise, I wouldn't know why it would be searching it that nonexistant location.

Re: Boot Screen - Change

But I never loaded any of the language packs. Also aloNs had trouble with 'C:/Windows/system32/boot/he-il/winload.exe.mui' " (Hebrew, apparently) whereas mine made more sense, in a way - mine was 'C:/Windows/system32/boot/en-GB/winload.exe.mui' " and my locale etc was set to UK, not US. But where is the program getting these directories? I had a look at the environment variables but... Well, it's just a cosmetic thing I guess, so no need to get all bent out of shape about it, but it would be nice just to figure it out

Re: Boot Screen - Change

I'm not sure where it is getting these directories from. It seems like some bug with the program on non US locale set systems. You might also contact the support for the program to see what they may say to.

AloNs, what is your system locale set as?
