^so this is my problem: in most (but not all) programs where you must browse for a folder (foobar2000, Recuva, etc.), i cannot even see the folder treeview, much less browse for a folder, because the entire area is greyed out. Other than the shortcuts for the "Games" not appearing (not a big deal, I created them manually), my windows install went perfectly. And this is not a major issue...but for programs like Recuva where the "browse for folder" dialog is the ONLY way you can use the program, it's kind of important. And if at all possible, I would prefer NOT to have to format and reinstall.

i think "tree view" is what's missing, although I don't think there is an option in nLite (or a viable reason) to do this. If it helps, pressing "windows key + E" which usually brings up an explorer window, generates an error box that says "the parameter is incorrect". something else i noticed - in the "save as" dialog in microsoft office, if i click on the "my computer" tab, none of my drives show up. also the treeview isn't broken in all programs...winrar, for example, shows the treeview just fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :thumbsup_anim:

{Windows XP x64 SP2, all updates & hotfixes, WMP11 integrated with Booogy's integrator, IE7 integrated via nLite, used RyanVM for 3 addons that in no way affect system files, all 64-bit drivers up-to-date and working properly} <---yes I'm aware that this isn't the x64 section, but I think this is more of a nlite or general windows question.

I would get that error during IE7 integration for 64bit but that was fixed.

Can you check the nLite + IE7 alone, starting from the original files, with sp2.

[runningfool87]

original XP x64 SP1 disc + SP2 + IE7 + no hotfixes, tested in VM...and no problems


maybe it would help to describe how i integrated:

1. start with XP x64 SP1
2. integrate SP2 with nlite, quit nlite
3. integrate WMP11 and hotfixes w/ booogy's integrator
4. use ryanvm integrator to integrate 3 addons that do not affect system files
5. nlite: tweaks, removal, integrate my computer's drivers, IE7 and its hotfixes, and all XP hotfixes. 100% unattended install. final disc size approx. 600 MB.

my guess is that so many steps/modifications caused nLite to produce a few small errors? one more thing i noticed though...internet explorer shortcuts were never created. i dont mind this, as i use firefox. but maybe it will help figure out exactly what is wrong.

and nuhi, is there ANY post install solution to this? i would like to avoid a reformat + reinstall at all costs.

I think you make this to much complicated. nLite can do all of this. Install latest WMP Slipstreamer and then run nLite and add WMP11 installer and it's hotifxes on the hotfixes list and nLite will automatically detect WMP slipstreamer and will use it. nLite can also integrate all those addons. And my advice is to don't run nLite more times. Do all you need to do in just one run of nLite.

Cheers

[runningfool87]

yes, but is there a post-install fix for this? as nuhi said, this is a documented problem...

[mara-]

Most of the time there is not post fix. Maybe for this exist but I don't know it. Someone else maybe could help, but I think that you will probably have to make a new disc and to reinstall XP.

Cheers

[nuhi]

runningfool87, well IE7 obviously isn't the one breaking it in your case so I don't know what it is.
Try nLite all at once as suggested, or if you plan on using other tools use it before nLite.

[runningfool87]

ok, i did 2 test installs today:

-in one i did the exact same things as my first install, except i didnt integrate IE7. IE7 was installed after windows installation.

-in the other i did everything in a single nLite session, including integrating IE7.



...both were done in VM, both showed the "browse for folder" box just fine. so basically i now have a working ISO for future installs, which is good. but does anyone know if its possible to fix this on my current install, w/o having to format and reinstall winXP?

again, thanks in advance for any help.
