Bear woke up, checked his stash and standing guard.

Changelog and download

This one is basically to catch up with the updates.
Lets see if it has some tiny worms eating the bits.


Updates:
09.11.2008 - v1.4.9.1
09.04.2008 - v1.4.9 (nlite.exe v1.4.9.1)
09.01.2008 - v1.4.9
07.20.2008 - v1.4.8
07.01.2008 - v1.4.7
06.12.2008 - v1.4.6

Note: I read that some of you think that nLite breaks the floppy F6 method. That is not true, it is a Windows limitation, just disable the OEM Preinstall on the Unattended - General page or integrate the driver.

'Honey' is welcome after long winter hibernation. It rejuvinates and so does 1.4.5b!
Integratation of IE8 and security centre fix are most wanted changes that I wanted to see.
Thanks!

Love this tool! Thanks...

If you could find the time to add a couple more tweaks, I would love it even more.. ; - )

(don't) Display simple folder view,-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced - FriendlyTree

Do not cache thumbnails,-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced - Disable Thumbnailcache


Hate these, and always disables them with a reg-file, but would be better in nLite....
Will try the new version as soon as possible, it will probably be OK - as usual.

[lol.2.dol]

Hi!
Thank you for the new release!
I try to integrate IE8 in XP SP3, but i've an error at the end of the process...
I don't know why, all what I've done is Slipstream SP3 (on SP2 source), add IE8 executable in the hotfix lists!

[boyan.sharic]

A bug, possibly not on nLites behalf. On the second page, when choosing the folder witch contains copied Windows installation CD nLite freezes and ProcessExplorer is reporting that nLite is taking 50% of CPU (because i have Core 2 Duo, if a had single processor i supose it would take 100%). On the same PC i have WinXP and Win200 on Virtual PC and nLite is working fine on those. Ive tried both self extracting and the installer versions - still no joy.

Dino, sta je reci?

[Bossman7]

looking forward to testing this out, thanks for all your hard work nuhi

Thanks. This one must have been hiding itself on my computer..

The program works perfect here with me - once again!

WIN XP PRO VLK SP2 Polish
1.4.5 beta doesn't completly integrate those hotfixes for me:

H:\winproLENOVO\I386\SVCPACK

2005-12-10 21:47 5˙223˙664 KB900725.exe
2006-05-14 09:30 4˙712˙760 KB908531.exe
2006-12-02 13:10 693˙048 KB914440.exe
2006-12-02 12:24 694˙584 KB920213.exe
2007-04-29 13:08 1˙653˙560 KB925876.exe
2007-05-13 21:54 1˙273˙736 KB927891.exe

It put them into svcpack folder and adds entries to svcpack.inf - so it works - BUT 1.4.1 Final and earlier versions integrated them completly.
(and I can also integrate them manualy by using /integrate:INSTALL_FILES_PATCH switch)
The only operations done are:
Clean SP2 source (ziped archive used in many many working builds)
WMP11 0.991 + hotfixes (noWGA)
Then
nLite with only those:
-hotfixes option (Winins3.1v2,IE7+2hotfixes,+~120 normal hotfixes)
-100TCP/IP
-uxTheme

Everything works but those ~20MB are precious if you use BTS and .NET on CD.

----
EDIT:
Also many files are left on CD uncompressed. Making I386 next 20MB bigger in 1.4.5 beta
for example:
aaclient.dll
aaclient.mui
agentdp2.dll
lhmstsc.chm , exe, dll ,mui
msi31.dll
shell32.dll
xpnetdg.exe, xsl

Same Problem Here, my XP instalation grow 27mb, 6 new kb files in svcpack and 3 new diretories in I386 folder using this nlite 1.45 version...

Sugestion:
Can NLITE verify and remove duplicate files? Then NLITE integrate only one version of this files into instalation and copy additional ones to destinations directories when needed.
in lastest driverpacks I found 41 duplicatated files eating 5mb of disk space and to make a better XPCD each MB is precious....

Sorry for my english...

Tryed the new 1.4.5 beta

I had trouble integrating thise critical hotfixes
KB944533
KB933729
KB927891
kb929213
kb932168

I am slipstreaming a Danish (DK) version og windows xp sp2 (from original cd)
I only slipstream hotfixes and copy my winnt.sif file to source befor making an iso

The same hotfixes work fine with 1.4.1.

I always had a problem getting the wga tool to work, but I extracted it and install it from my runonceex.cmd instead (nlite 1.4.1 and 1.5)


By the way Nlite is cool.
The time I invest in getting my xp source just right comes back 10 fold.

So thank you creator of nlite.

Best regards Michael

[nuhi]

lol.2.dol, what kind of error (that is important)?

boyan.sharic, antivirus is scanning all files, set it to scan executables only.
Pozdrav.

anonim1979, good catch, fixed in beta 2, out today.

[monohouse]

is there a version of nLite that runs on IA64 ? and can delete files from XP 64-bit ?

[nuhi]

Never tried it. If it does not accept normal 32bit then no.
And it does not support IA64 modification, only x64.
