Got the latest version of nLite and I slipstreamed SP2 into XP Pro x64, I also did HotFixes and one sata driver. Went to install and get the error "txtsetup.sif is corrupted or missing, status 14"
So I redid it without the driver, same results, did it without the hotfixes same result, did it with just slipstreaming sp2 same result. I did all this on a Vista Business x64 system.
My original disc works fine to install, I double checked it.
I've never ran into this before with nLite and I've slipstreamed alot in the past.

Where is this txtsetup.sif suppose to be?
Why is this happening? Should I be running nLite on a x86 system? Am I missing something?

TIA

mrZoSo,
I think your problem is not running nLite on an XP x64 system. Any other OS will give you trouble.
I looked at my txtsetup.sif file (in AMD64 folder) and is a large (500 KB) text file. It has lots of data on disk names, file names and much much more.
Try nLite on XP x64.
Good luck, John.
mrZoSo
Well, that's partly why Im doing this is to install XP x64, I'm going to try a couple things, I'll report back.

UPDATE: Well I tried doing it under the "hidden" Administrator in Vista and ended up with the same results, ended up having to to it the old fashioned way.

OK how bout this?

Is your driver for sure a 64x driver?

Will you ATTACH you txtsetup.sif (You might need to comress it) so we can peek at it?
mrZoSo
I noticed something else when I opened the finished ISO with ISOBuster, the layout is different, not sure if this is normal or if it will help but here's a couple pics, one of a stock ISO and one of nLite ISO. I also attached a rar file of both sif files. Yes, the driver was x64, but I don't believe it had anything to do with the driver because I tried it without too, as mentioned above.

Stock ISO


nLite ISO

look slike you nlited the same source a couple of times.
try nliting a clean source that has not been nlited before
mrZoSo
I did try a clean source, I tried it several different ways only to get the same result.
The pic is just from one of the resulting ISO files I didn't delete yet.
I will try it later today using XP x64, now that I have it installed, because I would like to integrate a few more things.

mrZoSo,
I may be wrong about having to use XP vs Vista for nLite but I think you must use a 64 bit OS. See this post - the red at the top. It also has some good information and links for building XP x64 ISOs.
Enjoy, John.
mrZoSo
I did use an x64 OS, Vista Business x64.

i just made a new disc in XP Pro x64, I'm downloading VMware right now because I'm tired of wasteing cd's ,,,lol
I'll report back with the results.
mrZoSo
OK, it worked using nLite in XP Pro x64, installed with no errors on vmware. So it obviously has something to do with using nLite in Vista x64.
The only thing I didn't try was running nLite in XP SP2 Compatibility mode. I'll try it and see what happens.

UPDATE: Set nLite to run as Admin and in XP SP2 Compatibility mode, and it worked!!! thumbup.gif
Made 2 different ISOs and both worked just fine newwink.gif
