And the whole Windows system IS based off of Apple's operating system, as well as their Zune being based off of the ipod. And the Chadrcheze edition dosen't have the fixed setup.exe the reason that it works is because I deleted that one file In fact there are 2 other files containing japanese text in the root folder, but you probably didn't notice them because you don't really pay attention to detail. And just how slow is your piece of crap computer if it's quicker to download them individually than in one file. And by the way an extra 29.3 MB isn't that much when compared to a game file of 50 - 600 MB for a single game. As I have stated before "I only did it to help people", which it obviously has since miketh2005 suggested that others use it, in another thread.
Based off of isn't the same as "Oh hay, nice idea. Let's take exact idea, put more premade themes on". Generally, one would think that Windows was taken and actually had something DONE in order to change it so it isn't just "exact same thing but with more themes". It's forking. Your package isn't even a fork, it's a quick compilation of a few themes you happen to like and the core program. I have long come to terms with the fact that most of the stuff today isn't original, after all I didn't spontaneously learn math.
Now I'm quite done with talking. So, I'll let the user burn the energy to see what they want to do.
To the user, here are the facts:
1) A CRC checksum is unique to each and every file, provided that file is not a duplicate/copy. (wiki)
2) The CRC32 checksum of Chadrcheze's setup.exe is the exact same as the fixed setup.exe, meaning it is the same file regardless of where, how, when it came from whether Chadrcheze acknowledges that it is the same or not.
3) If you download the original filetrip download (here), delete the text file with a Japanese name located in the /moonshl2/extlink/TextEdit/ folder and run the setup.exe included, the program will fail and crash (provided you don't have an Asian Os).
4) This issue was addressed by Moonlight and the fix had this changelog:

For all users. Thank you for a lot of reports. I am sorry. ChildZwai was not able to be installed with "Windows other than Japanese".
The file that restores this problem is as follows. Please copy the unpacked file onto setup.exe of ChildZwai.
- avenir aptly summarized the problem in his post (link)
5) The package has skin files that add 4 minutes to the regular download (100KB/s) and it's not even convenient to preview them. You have to manually add them to the flashcart and then test each one individually just to see what they look like rather than just visit this thread and scroll down the list of previews and links. In my opinion, those 4 minutes could be better spent doing a quick scroll down the first post and all of the skins and getting the themes you want rather than spend 4 minutes getting the themes included and then having to spend another number of minutes just to see what they look like.
6) At least three people well versed in the workings of Moonshell2 have told him that the setup.exe problem was a language/OS issue (Mbmax, avenir, and myself), but he persists in believing that it isn't what Moonlight, avenir (who is also Japanese), Mbmax, and myself have told him.
7) I know pretty much every single file in the Moonshell2 download as well as what they are used for (so I also know exactly what the setup.exe copies over).
I have once had someone bothered by the problem that Moonshell2 was just TOO large for his small bandwidth for the month and if it weren't for the size, he would invest a bit to try it (and I helped with that...though it took a number of tries, I was able to get to the bare minimum of around 5-10MB by removing a variety of files). So yes, I try to keep in mind the people that I have helped before, but you don't see me putting "Moonshell 2.10 Child Zwai Minimal (Jurassicplayer Edition)" on filetrip because really I didn't do much. I deleted a bunch of files and burnt time testing it again and again, but really nothing critical. Your package takes less effort than that and you have the gall to slap your username onto it and distribute it.
