Nebol, Windows 2000 Server SP2, why not SP4?

Anyway post your preset and I'll try it with the Final. But you're right, it could be the same as RC2.

Save Settings Still hangs on 1.4 Final. I kept my presets pretty simple; 1.35 has no problem.

The solution is probably one of those simple pain in the butt things.

Thanks.

Try to shorten the pathnames for the hotfixes.
They easily exceed 255 letters.

beaglebc, I tried your preset and it didn't hang. BUT I didn't put your addons meaning it must be one or more of them.
If you find which it is, easily by virtual testing few times, I'll try it gladly.
Or if that is hard for you then at least provide me with the links to download all those addons.

Thanks, I will try to isolate the issue. I get my addons mostly from winaddons.com.

Perhaps in my case it has to do with an addon or the unofficial SP5 from Majorgeeks :

I unziped this file and integrated through "Service Pack". Perhaps I will try the official SP4 and see what happens.

So far nLite v1.4 do the job on installing Windows 2000 and it works flawlessly. I have a good vibration that this version of nLite the v1.4 is the one will do the perfect job!

Oh by the way Im still trying to test it on my other test computers I hope I hit the jackpot.

@efrain
I´m so tired, I read "trying to test it on my brother´s computer", at first

Works for me flawless as well.

But I´m still curious, what made the install hang.

It also hangs for me

I'm using a legit copy of XP Home SP2, and I've tried both nlite 1.4 and 1.35, starting with a fresh copy of my windows CD. I have left the network dde in, too.

Attached is the last session ini when I tried 1.4.

according to your preset, you removed network dde

Wow, you're right. My mistake.

I went back and tried 1.4 again without Network DDE removed, and it hung.

Wiped the source directory, recopied off the CD. Uninstalled nlite 1.4, installed 1.35 (for the second time today), and redid the process. This time it worked!

So, I guess it's just something in 1.4?

@FlipFlops
Still don´t know, what you guys are doing, it´s working flawless for me, ever since.
Don´t think it´s the NetDDE, in your case.
You removed lots of drivers and components, but didn´t integrate any own drivers or hotfixes.
Did you use an already nlited source ?
If your using SATA, it´s obvious, why it fails.
Btw. this thread is for windows 2000 !

Yes, I know it's for 2K, but I had the exact same problem in XP...figured it was somewhat relevant. Sorry!

I have used a fresh source each time. No add ons, patches, or anything extra.

It's not a huge deal for me to use 1.35 anyways, this was just for my Eee PC install.

I didnt have time to read all 3 pages, but this happened to me yesterday and it was caused by installing the 2k extra tools (the ones that include the reg.exe that makes nlite's runonce work) into the system32 directory, dont know if any other directory is ok, but that one didnt let setup finish, i simply did not install it and voila.
