this is becuse khaled add to 6.17 a manifest to enable Xp Visual style
if you type /run notepad.exe mirc.exe
you will see the falling code is add to mirc.exe 617
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="mIRC.mIRC.mIRC" type="win32"/>
<description>Internet Relay Chat Software</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
if you want to work with mdx u need to use another code an put a file with the name : mirc.exe.manifest in the same dir with mirc.exe is
exampel:
first /write mirc.exe.manifest
then /run notepad.exe mirc.exe.manifest
add the code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
name="mIRC.mIRC.mIRC"
version="1.2.3.4" />
publicKeyToken="8275b28176rcbbef"
<clrClass
clsid="{65722BE6-3449-4628-ABD3-74B6864F9739}"
progid="mIRC.testClass1"
threadingModel="Both"
name="mIRC.testClass1"
runtimeVersion="v1.0.3705">
</clrClass>
<clrClass
clsid="{367221D6-3559-3328-ABD3-45B6825F9732}"
progid="mIRC.testClass2"
threadingModel="Both"
name="mIRC.testClass2"
runtimeVersion="v1.0.3705">
</clrClass>
<file name="mIRC.dll">
</file>
</assembly>
after saveing mirc.exe.manifest
type /run mirc.exe to run a copy of mirc
this sould fix the problem for all thoes want conntinue using mdx.dll
Note: do not try to patch mirc.exe with this code just use a mirc.exe.manifest. EOF.
