HELP with Kitchen R4 - Random Problems...
 

Thanks in advance just for reading this post...any help on the following issues would be greatly appreciated:

1. The registry entries in the Helmi_Addition OEM overwrite my personal zz_myregedits OEM (named them zz so they would load last.) When I make changes to the registry entries in helmi_addition, I get an error when I try to build the ROM. Is there any way to change some of these registry entries? Specifically HKL/Software/Microsoft/Shell "ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:0

2. The included OEM for Live Search wont work...it builds fine, but when I go to launch it it tells me that components are missing. I've tried a few OEMs for Live Search now, but none have worked. Any suggestions?

3. Windows Media Player no longer shows album art. Is this because of the crossbow skin we are using? Cover art works perfectly in coreplayer, so I know it's not my files, but I'd prefer to be using WMP.

THANKS again for even reading this far!

So I rebuilt a ROM without Live Search. I installed Live Search using the regular .cab file, but it still won't run. Does Live Search have a dependency on .Net framework as Ive been stripping it out of my ROM?

Thanks!

I'm 99% sure it does.

yes, live search needs .NET CF2. I will add that last 1% to willys response and make it a good 100%.

Re your #1 - what kind of error? Did you re-gen the .dsm? (not sure you need to).

For the #1 question, it is not the name of the OEM, but the UUID of the rgu\dsm. So, UUIDs starting with 00 are loaded first and ff are loaded last. I suggest you change your UUID in that OEM to fff......... and go from there. Make sure to populate the dsm again.

Thanks for your responses! I got Live Search working after rebuilding my ROM with .NET CF. I changed the UUID for my reg edit OEM packaged to begin with ff, but helmi's addition is still overwriting SOME of the registry edits. If there's a string contained in his OEM that also exists in mine - helmi's registry edits prevail, however, the registry edits in my OEM that do not exist in helmi's DO WORK. Has anyone successfully overwritten helmi's registry edits or managed to edit his .rgu file? Lastly, has anyone managed to get album art working in WMP? Again -- thanks so much for your ideas, my ROM is nearly perfect!

Best,
