A surprise release for this weekend, a new theme. Going off another background designed by Phil2001 of DeviantArt, this theme features high resolution images (1080p) designed for wide screen televisions.
This theme has a good imaginative style featuring a road that seems to go on forever into the distance. The depth of field plays very nicely with a Media Center setup. To find out how to make your own themes check out this guide.
Installation:
- Download and install NowhereRoad.msi
- Close Media Center and wait 45-60 seconds for the system files to be released
- Run the Enable Road To Nowhere Theme shortcut as administrator (right click and select “Run as Administrator”)
- When the patch dialog appears press start. If you receive an error it is likely the system files haven’t been released yet, wait 60 seconds and try again.
- If the patch fails consistently, open Windows Explorer and navigate to "C:\Windows\ehome" and locate "ehres.dll". Right-click and select "Take Ownership" then retry the patch.
- Once the patch is applied successfully close the patch program
- Restart Media Center
Uninstallation:
- Close Media Center and wait 45-60 for the system files to be released
- Run the Disable Road To Nowhere Theme shortcut as administrator (right click and select “Run as Administrator”)
- Optionally you can permanently remove the program files through the windows control panel but you must do step #2 first or the theme will not be reset.
- Restart Media Center
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY:
In the case of epic failure open Windows Explorer and go to “C:\Windows\ehome” select “ehres.dll” and rename it “ehres.dll.bak”. Find “ehres.dll.original” and rename it “ehres.dll”
This theme is meant for use only on Windows 7 Beta 1 (Build 7000) Media Center. No guarantees are made as to the compatibility with other plug-ins or modifications. If you do require assistance, however, you can leave a comment below.
