Windows TinyXP Rev09
Thank you for trying TinyXP Rev09…
To install Windows TinyXP from this CD, set your PC
up so it will boot from the CD-ROM in the PC’s BIOS.
You cannot install TinyXP as an “upgrade” from within Windows.
This TinyXP now has a “Repair Option” (Option 9) where you can install
Windows the way you want, your own username, regional and language
options etc. One file was hacked in this untweaked “attended” version so
that you can see the product key on the actual installation screen as
you install Windows. The hacked file is for installation purposes only
and never ends up on your system. This #9 option in the boot menu for XP
is the same as option #2 except in #2 it is an unattended installation
and in #9 it is a standard install where you need to click next, etc.
Or you can choose any of the other eight different flavours of TinyXP.
Options 1 to 8 are all unattended and vary in size and whether they
install with the added drivers or not.
Only install TinyXP onto a freshly formatted partition or hard disk.
There is no upgrade option available in TinyXP, because the option
is removed. You do not need any product key in this release - the
installation of TinyXP is unattended, once you choose the drive or
partition on which to install TinyXP.
Even on option nine, the product key is filled in for you on the
screen, you simply click next without having to type a key in.
All installations are set to US English.
When you boot from this CD you have the following options:
Choosing #1 at the main menu, gives you the following menu:
1 - TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
2 - TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
3 - TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
4 - TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
5 - TinyXP BARE With IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
6 - TinyXP BARE With IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
7 - TinyXP BARE Without IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
8 - TinyXP BARE Without IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
9 - TinyXP With Repair Option (Product Key Already Filled In)
Choosing #2 at the main menu, gives you the following menu:
1 - Acronis Backup + Restore (Safe For Vista)
2 - ******* Small Linux v4.3
3 - Hiren’s BootCD v9.5
4 - SpinRite v6.0
Abbreviations from above:
IE —> Internet Explorer
OE —> Outlook Express
WMP —> Windows Media Player
Installations 1 to 8 of TinyXP include the following items,
which are all automatically installed along with Windows:
Service Pack 3 Final (Build 5512)
All Hotfixes Up To May 2008
DirectX DLL Libraries (24 to 36)
Flash Player v9.0.124.0 (IE) - / - Plugin DLL v9.0.124.0 (Firefox/Opera)
Royale Theme (Options 1 to 4) - / - Classic Theme (Options 5 to 8 )
Here is a breakdown of the twelve options:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3:
For Microsoft fans…
Options 1, 2, 5 and 6 all include Internet Explorer Web Browser v6,
Outlook Express Email Client and Windows Media Player v9. These older
versions of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player are what would
install with Windows XP by default. If you want to install the later
versions of these programs (Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media
Player 11) its no problem, those installers are in the EXTRAS folder
on the CD to be applied after Options 1,2,5 or 6 have been installed.
The IE7 and WMP11 installers are silent (just double click the file
once to install) and they even install the post IE7 and WMP11
hotfixes! Windows XP is completely up to date and as Bill Gates
intended.
For people who don’t like Microsoft programs…
Options 3, 4, 7 and 8 do not include Internet Explorer, Outlook Express
or Windows Media Player. Mozilla Firefox v3.0 is included to replace
Internet Explorer. There are no replacements in these options to Outlook
Express or Windows Media Player. You can just use your own programs like
Mozilla Thunderbird to replace Outlook Expess and Winamp/VLC/MPC to play
audio and video files.
For people who want the most features…
Options 1, 2, 3, and 4 are as full as this Windows XP could possibly be
made, while still fitting everything onto a 700Mb CD. You still have
System Restore, games, almost every single service. The only removed
services are removed because they are annoying, not to save space, all
functionality is still there. All services are set to their default
settings. This is the recommended installation, the first option,
because it is the most complete one - with added drivers too.
For people who want a smaller faster leaner BARE installation…
Options 5, 6, 7, and 8 are as stripped as W

VALUEADD
I have disabled and deleted the Classic Windows XP Install Screens with the info about XP and the blue Background.
You will just see a black background now and the install will look similar to 2000. This saves Space and gives more
info while installing.
The Minimum HD and RAM Requirements have been lifted. You can try and install this on whatever machine you like now.
High ISO Compression has been enabled to save space.

Install Notes:
1. Unrar the ISO from the archives using Winrar.
2. Burn the ISO using a program such as Nero, Alcohol 120, Blindwrite, ect… (Burn at a slow Speed to ensure no errors, 4x-8x)
3. Change Bios Priority settings so it boots from the CD-ROM Drive First. (You may be able to skip this step)
4. Insert Disc and Reboot PC, Follow the on screen prompts and enjoy.
Notes:
If you are getting errors while copying files. It’s your CD, not the release. Try burning it to different brand of cd/media and try burning at the slowest speed possible.
I just tested this in VMWare and it works flawless. You should get between 16-19 Processes and under 100mb of ram usage when using the computer initially. Everything you install/use will obviously increase this, however its the leanest XP Copy around.

CHANGELOG
(MicroXP v0.82)
Released: 2008
Following the release of MicroXP v0.82, this new version fixes an issue
with Wireless LAN where it was not able to automatically find networks
around you without knowing the SSID identification code of the network.
This problem only appeared with Service Pack 3. The fix was simple, just
replace three DLL files in this SP3 version with the older SP2 versions
of the files - problem is fixed and you can use wireless just the same
as you could in previous (SP2) releases of MicroXP.
Thanks to christianpeso from SRN for working on this and fixing it.
All previous fixes in all previous versions
of MicroXP apply in this new version 0.82.

[WHAT YOU CAN DO]
- PROGRAMS -
You can still install and run just about all the programs and games
that you can run on a normal installation of XP. There is a text file
in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs
that work and includes some that don’t work (not many). Even Office
2007 installs on this version of Windows
- GAMES -
Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not
working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all
about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of
Windows I have ever tested.
- LAN NETWORKING -
At last - MicroXP now has the ability to browse your local network.
All you need to know is the computer name of the computer you want
to connect to and thats about it, just right click My Computer and
choose Map Network Drive. All computers can see each other even
if every computer in the network is running this MicroXP.
- CAMERAS AND SCANNERS
Now in MicroXP it is possible to use a digital camera (USB only,
no Firewire) or a scanner. Tested and working with a Fuji FinePix
6MP camera. The Photo Printing Wizard is not included, neither
is the wizard to download photos from the internet, but the rest
of the functionality for cameras and scanners is as complete as
in full Windows. My favourite saying: whats missing, you’re not
gonna miss! Print photos with Photoshop or maybe even Irfanview.
Ctrl+P to print works in every single program that supports it,
so its not like we ever needed the photo printing wizard, which
only ever made all images I fed through it A4, even small images,
so it actually did not even work, unless I skipped a button but
there really are no buttons to skip in that wizard, its useless.
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -
You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem).
This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems,
a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband… in this
edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well
as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even
an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM
with 4Mb graphics cards.
- WEB BROWSER -
This installation already includes a basic web browser called
Browzar that uses a few core files left from Internet
Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select
files included in this installation that come from Internet
Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer
related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do
in this edition of Windows. This Browzar web browser is only here
so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape
or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD,
but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get
the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash
v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and
YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.
- PASSES WGA CHECKS
If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from
Microsoft’s downloads section, you will need to validate windows
by running the GenuineCheck.exe file that Microsoft asks you to
download as part of the Windows Genuine Advantage checks. Its
fine to do this, don’t be scared of your key being blacklisted.
- FLASH -
If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special
MicroXP edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google
Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just
watch the videos right away.
