I have been struggling ever since Windows XP SP3 came out. I am the network admin at a fairly large company. We roll out new Windows installs on a daily basis. We use Microsoft's Business Desktop Deployment to install via a PE environment. An entire system with updates and applications installed can be finished in about 20 minutes this way. I have always used nLite to facilitate this process. However, we have hit a huge wall now. Microsoft's solution does not provide a simple way to integrate drivers into the Windows source files, so I use nLite. However, as has been confirmed by the numerous posts here, if nLite touches a Windows XP SP3 source any winnt32.exe based installs are severely broken. I have tried the numerous workarounds changing the txtsetup.sif and wbemoc.inf files. I did manage to get a system installed that seemed normal. However, there are still system log entries with WMI errors. And as a perfect example the system can no longer detect if AntiVirus software is installed. Here are a couple of the event log errors:

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.
Source: SecurityCenter Event ID: 1802

Windows couldn't log the RSoP (Resultant Set of Policies) session status. An attempt to connect to WMI failed. No more RSoP logging will be done for this application of policy.
Source: Userenv Event ID: 1090

All that I need to be able to do is integrate a few SATA and RAID drivers into my Windows source files. Does anyone have any suggestions as to something else I could do to integrate drivers?

Are you aware that utilising nLite within a corporate environment violates the software's licence agreement?

5. nLite is free for personal use only, you cannot use it for any company or business purposes at this time.

No... I guess that missed that part of the license agreement. Time to find another solution.

I believe quite a few people wouldn't mind paying some bucks for being able to use nLite this way. I actually didn't know until now either, and used this marvelous piece of software to make computers at work MUCH better.

Hi nuhi
Can you fix also the SP3 to MCE2005 slipstreaming problems ?

I speak about:
- medctrl.inf and cat overwrited with files for MCE2002 from SP3 - gives installation errors due to missing files
- WMP10 files overwritten with WMP9

I know, this is a Microsoft problem, they seems to forget about MCE2005 when have build this. But as you fixed slipstreaming under Vista, I just put the question...

Installing SP3 as an update over MCE2005 works but still creates problems, so an fix in slipstreaming process could be the only solution.

What is the best version of NLite to use on Windows XP SP2?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I would hazard to say:

Always use the newest! Even if he has concentrated on SP3 it still has gotten updates for SP2.

[Innocent Devil]

small prob:
the xml lite update (KB915865) in IE 7 package is not fully integrated, it installs from svcpack.inf only

the new windows installer 4.5 (KB942288-v3) too not fully integrted, it adds lots of junk *.mui files to I386 and installs from svcpack.inf only

[ranjeetmalik4444]

Get the SECOND one and integrate it as a hotfix...

Nice one, I just noticed that there's a little mistake in description. goto Components -> Hardware Support -> Ports (COM and LPT):

blablabla
...
Needed for:
   - Smart Cads
   - Infrared
   - Printer Support
   - Infrared

looks like Infrared is in twice...

Thanks for the fatest reply....

I tried downloading the nLite 1.47 self-extracting but it was an inno setup file. Is there a working link to the self-extracting?

thanks

[johnhc]

gkar,
I DLed the self-extracting from mirror '02' and used 7-ZIP to extract with no problems (17 files+folders). The only reason I used '02' is because it was considerable faster than the one labeled 'download'.
Enjoy, John.

I have found a bug

When I try to remove all the languages, when it gets to the removing compounents part, it just skips and when I open nlite to double check and they are still there

*PS it is the western europe and US part, others remove fine

another one- I nlited an addon of aero mouse cursors and when I install xp they are not set by default when before they were

Found another one

I nlited my xp sp3 again with all the same settings and stuff removed but now I dont seem to have a internet connection (just stays on aquiring IP)

tested it before on a different version and it worked

Just in case can someone look over my removed components to see if that would make any problems (I left hardware support alone so theres no point in showing it)

Thanks, it had the correct file.

Is there a list available, with the modifications nlite makes in removing each component?

Just an FYI - it appears that v1.4.7 has solved the issues I was having installing with the winnnt.exe method. No more errors in Event Log, and all services appear to have been installed. Event Log does show several warnings about 'event 5603' but this seems to fairly well documented and apparently a non-issue. I would think these warnings would show up even if installing XP without using nLite, but I'll install it that way later today and verify.

Thanks, Nuhi, for updating nLite for the few of us who use this 'dinosaur' method of installing XP.

Bug found in 1.4.7 -

I was trying to leave only Hebrew, Russian(and irremovable English USA of course), but get left with the whole "Western Europe and USA" and "Cyrillic" categories no matter how many times I try, went back to nlite 1.4.5 and it sure did remove those languages and save me 0.11mb of space

Does this have anything to do with Russian nls file bug fix?
