    changelog:
    W7 LOADER 0.95
    ==============
    0.95:
    * SSDT search hang fixed. Default mode now skips this completely
    but old mode should behave better. (thanks RyanThaDude29)

    0.94:
    * New SLIC table placement method using lower memory when
    available, otherwise previous method is used.
    Previous method available from recovery menu ("Older" option)

    have no idea if it's daz only release or not..
    but it's private, so I will of course not share it because I respect zsmin wish.

    btw- can you add loader mode options (for example if I want to install the alt loader as default.. etc..).

    you should really use Daz loader if you want his features, this project is more
    about getting other people started with programming .net, and Daz is clearly
    territorial about his ideas.

    if v0.95 is not public then I cannot add it sorry.

    I dont think it's his idea (No offence Daz).
    it is something alot of users suggested, many users want to make the alt/forceful loader mode of zsmin loader the default because it's the only mode that works for them.. and it's not something new (Napalum loader also has loader mode options).

    this project is open source, users can help and add code/suggest/fix things to make the program better (like PAYMYRENT code).

    I really like this open 7 act*vator because it's:
    Very small (500kb!. smaller then Daz loader)
    Very fast! (the installation procces to took only 10 seconds, faster then Daz program)
    and working very well.


    when zsmin glrdr v0.95 be public, will you add it?

    adding v0.95 will be as easy as replacing file 1 and 2 in the resources
    folder, I will think about the default loader modes. what modes do you
    suggest.

    you can also get Visual Studio 2008 and change the GUI and add any features you like, and use it however you like. you dont have
    to share your code if you dont want to, you dont have to give me credit. just try to learn somthing. If you do post some code dont
    get upset if you find someone else has used it.

    I suggest the default alternative mode, forcefull mode, older mode (basiclly everything..)..
    i don't musch of a pro programmer, I really a at very beginner stage.
    so do you thing I will be able to code on Visual Studio 2008 (I did not even learn it at school)

    PAYMYRENT

    everytime i tried the compiled one you posted it didnt do it but it has something to do with the background worker maybe put a busy = true at the begining of the get_os sub

    and a busy = false at the background worker run worker completed sub

    I thought it was a bad WMI query for XP so stoped that query on unsupported
    OS's, your solution did stop the crash on XP. did it fix the debuging issue?

    I did a little more reading and RCW are also used with WMI.

    I still cant recrate the problem

    no i still get the debugging issue no matter how many times i try and stop the background worker before it closes i just thought of something ill test it and tell you if it worked or not

    nothing i do works to stop the debugging error oh well
