System-files cannot be replaced by simple admit to everything : )

I tried (I did not verify) with Fileunlocker (which needs reboot). I also know of batch-script / command cmd-program “replace.cmd” that will replace system files “live” by caching everything where it is needed.

BUT I also found a solution with 1. detailed manul instructions and 2. setup 1.0 and setup 1.1.exe!

This will install GPedit.msc on ALL Windows Vista’s : P

I also noticed that my XP hack used some other dlls. I do not yet know how similar the Vista equivalent is to XP’s gpedit.msc. When I install my XP hack on Vista, then install your Vista hack over the top, I get a better result, not perfect, but better.

I get past the “MMC cannot create the snap-in” error, but the whole Administrative Templates folder does not exist, not empty, but non-existent. This makes it almost useless at the moment. I think this means we are both missing 1 or 2 dlls. I will keep trying, and when I get a breakthrough, I will report it here.

There are also many, many, more templates available, in particular in the new .admx file format. Microsoft is giving them away in one redistributable package here: http://www.microsoft.com/downl.....laylang=en You really need to have a look and decide what to do.

Unfortunately, work is slow and difficult my end, because I do not have a copy of Vista Business, Ultimate or a retail CD, however I am managing because I am downloading dlls off the dll download sites and confirming versions with the Microsoft Vista Virtual lab.

For your interest and research, my XP hack needed these dlls that you are not using:

appmgmts.dll
appmgr.dll
fdeploy.dll

Do not rush into using these dlls, but do consider them.

I will report back if I get a breakthrough. Good luck,

I have followed these instructions, and get to where you add the snap-ins, only to find out windows wont add it.

Saying something like, “this snap-in is not for vista home premium or you are running vista home premium this snap-in may not be used with this version of vista.

I have come this far now, has someone got a solution, as to what you do next

Upry.

But I can’t get it to work. I have followed all the steps including Connor’s post about ownership & permissions. The only dll that registers okay is gptext.dll. The other three always fail. I’m not too familiar with windows internals. Any ideas?

Turn off User Acount Control

Set the permissions and ownership of the files as your user name

Then run CMD as admin and input:

regsvr32 fde.dll
regsvr32 gpedit.dll
regsvr32 gptext.dll
regsvr32 wsecedit.dll

and then it works!
