Although not my favorite OS its funny how snappier R2 feels on some machines. On other machines like mine it doesn't run as efficent as Server 2008. Even 64-bit 2008 runs better im not saying this from a 32-bit perspective. Of course a 32-bit OS is going to boot faster there are less files to load. My cousin came over today cuz he wanted me to install 7 ultimate on his machine and I dual booted R2 on his other machine because he wanted to test out a server os... its crazy how faster and snappier R2 felt even though they were both baseline installs. R2 booted a tad slower but with eboostr i was able to get it to boot a good 20 seconds faster. Really makes you think down deep about the kernel differences between the two... On the outside they look the same but internally... this cannot be the case.

I tested out the converter tool using a fresh install of R2. Upon installing the Desktop Experience role using your tool I was greeted with a wmploc error "Version 12.x.x.x where 12.y.y.y was expected" when launching Windows Media Player. I was able to fix the error by manually uninstalling Desktop Experience in Server Manager and reinstalling it through the traditional way. I'm not sure if it has something due to with the tool or a faulty Windows Update that failed to configure... AGAIN. Thanks a lot R2! Good ole tried and true Server 2008. The gal hasn't let me down once.

Note: The ISO I used to install a fresh copy of R2 on my machine was taken from the Microsoft Dreamspark website.

Hi halladayrules,

I will run a "doctor test" on this issue to reproduce the error. I will post when done. :idea:

@ halladayrules :

I performed tests on all available R2 releases around from the Dreamspark ones, TN, MSDN, Evals and VL. In no way I was able to reproduce the error you got. I am sorry. I asked Secr9tos to do same and he did not manage either.

@sythrar

lol for not working for me..... :lol: :lol: it's only one feature of the whole pack. I'll check it out again.
Please could you tell me what did you install with it at the same time (ex, Features, Services,....)

There is sequence of hwo things need to be installed such a Features and reboots a required before you can apply new stuff,.... I need more information on how the error came up. Thank you for your detailed feedback.

It's important so we can isolate the error should Superfetch require soem special treatment. 8-)

Regards,

N :)

Hi !

TY for the feedback with the pics. ;)

Also TY for the release Edition. We'll take a look at it but it must be a release restriction since it's a modded one by BIE......

The tool was tested on M$ Original releases and we do not get such error.

I'll post when we have solved the matter.

I'll also download a BIE R2 Edition to see what's been changed in it..... ;)

Regards,

Neige 8-)

Ok !

It’s pure BiE related issue, here is why :

If “Enable SuperFetch” fails with “Code 1” it means that the environment-variable %SystemRoot% is not available or incorrect!

Nearly the same goes for “Disable Ctrl + Atl + Del” but this time the tool named reg.exe is missing on the system.

Trying to run run “path\>inst.cmd” which cannot work coz it needs to be invoked like “inst.cmd NUMBER”

Finally, the SysNative thing. It’s an alias for x86 programs to recognize if the windows system32 path got redirected. .. but again since %SystemRoot% seems to be missing or wrong, this line will fail respectively too.

So it's NOT a Tool Problem but a Release Problem. Sorry about that. :?

Regards,

Neige and Team. ;)

Yes, inst.cmd 1 (Disable Ctrl + Atl + Del) and 10 (SuperFetch) Work :D, but GUI not. :(

Ty for help.
