URL: http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos?rev=74550&view=rev Log: [USETUP]: Continue implementing the NT OS installation detector. What remains to be done here, besides cleaning up the code from temporary comments and DPRINTs (and fixing potential bugs), is to actually parse the NTOS loader configuration files (freeldr.ini in ROS' case, or boot.ini in Win2k3's case, etc...) to retrieve the actual installation paths. So far these are currently hardcoded for testing purposes only. Note that I try to distinguish between ROS and Windows installations by checking at the company name vendor of the ntoskrnl.exe & ntdll.dll files, in order to allow the upgrade of ROS installations only. Suggestions are always welcome.
We should totally allow "upgrading" Windows installations with ROS. We're obviously better ;)
Hehe yeah :D Just that since some people might complain we either break their installs / do not play "fair" with other companies products / etc... I prefer to play safe here :)
