Want to change WM6 Wait Icon

[scotbotmosh]

I tried those actually and no go. Maybe after I update the dll and cab ...?

Ok I'm trying this now. Im actually downloading Visual Studio 08... I have used resource hacker to insert my 16 bmps.

I think what needs to be done is
-install the cab on device
-sign the dll with SDKSamplePrivDeveloper
-put dll on device
-copy the new dll to the \windows directory
-restart

is that right?

scotbot:

Yes. If you want to use my pre-made animation, all you have to do is install the cab, copy the DLL, and reset.

saumaun:

That is the correct procedure. Good luck!

Ok wtf I cant sign the dll... So does that mean that windows wont use it cuz it isnt signed?

[gbm85]

Yes, unfortunately using an unsigned DLL won't work.

Did you install the .NET Framework SDK? You should have signtool.exe in the bin folder of the SDK directory.

I need the NET SDK? I was using VS 2005 and WM5 SDK. Then I used the VS Command prompt to use signtool signwizard. I would find the certificate, try to sign it, and it would say failed. Im downloading the .NET SDK now... but i have a strange feeling that I already have it

Try using this original shellres DLL extracted from the WM6 ROM. It may be a better base than one that is just copied from the Windows directory.
