I have an app that doesn't show any ads now, but will this work on newer apps? like an universal solution?
I recently tried out how to remove ads from the Microsoft games, like Solitaire Collection, Jigsaw, etc. The sad thing (and problem) is that the XAML markup for these apps has been compiled into binary format (XBF) for faster load times. Now while it would have been pretty simple to change the plain text XAML markup and remove the advertising parts by hand, one now has to find a way to decompile the XBF files to XAML, change the markup, and recompile them back to XBF. Well, way too much effort for me at the moment since I don't know of any easy-to-use XBF compiler/decompiler out there. I think there must be a decompiler within the .NET Native stuff, as I seem to remember some guy mentioning it somewhere. For recompilation, I guess there must be a MSBuild task one could abuse. Maybe I work something out when I got some spare time...
Just a question, every time we install a new app, do you need to run the a) option, or go straight away to b), which removes the ads, how does it work I guess a) identifies the apps and b) patches them, am I right?
As we know this wonderful application doesn't work on Windows 8.1. While we're waiting for a fix, does anybody know how to mute the ad spot in microsoft solitaire collection? What mod I must do on the xaml file? thanks a lot
this is a problem of non-english windows installs thats a problem of CMD. at the takeown lines. the funny thing is that the CMD help say use y for talking over and n for not, even in the german version. there we had some bad translators. try to change the letter after the /d in the takeown lines with the fist letter of what the word "yes" means in your language, in case for German it would be a J for "ja".
