Packaging for non-logonstudio users?

from Stardock Forums

I downloaded logonstudio today and liked it, got the hang of it.

But I realized that 'standard' I can only make logon screens for people using logonstudio.

 

Am I missing something or is it built that way?
And is there a way to bundle up the logon screen made with the software to be installed (safely) on a computer not running logonstudio?

I assume it can be done with something like Inno Setup to distribute the files to their respective locations if need be.

 

Any insight?

Logonstudio is the safest way to change your log on screen and it's free (both xp and vista). I don't know why anyone would use another method.

Just my opinion, though

Well yeah, but I was wondering about those people that might like something I create but don't like installing software they will likely not use by once or twice.

Like, there should be a way that people can create the logon screens with this software and then easily distribute it to people who don't want to install the software.

Say, I run a company or organization and decide to give my staff custom logon screens for the organization. They shouldn't have to install some software just to install the screen. =/

I mean, obviously there is a way to install them without the software but i was hoping someone else had discovered it so I wouldn't have to. lol.

Well that sucks. T_T
Oh well, I'll just work on it. =P

it's gonna have to be applied with a 3rd part app or as an exe - either wiay, they're gonna have to install something

 

might as well be an app that also gives them the ability to use all the others in the gallery...

You can create it as a logonui.exe, but then they would have to go into Windows/System32, make a backup of logonui.exe and replace it with yours. And then do the reverse to change it back to Windows standard logon.

Hardly worth it...
