Q: what are .mui files? i see a folder scripting but i disabled/removed all scripting.
A: I'm not 100% sure, but I think these files is for Multilingual User Interface. If You use only Windows English Interface, it's useless

so i see lots of .mui files laying around my OS, there sohuld be an option to remove them

Q: do we really need the system folder with only a winspool.drv? (is this from 16 bit support, then its not removed?)
A: if You use printer, better leave this file as is. Every printer - even oldest and even supermodern notyetreleased printer can ask this file to work correctly.

printer support and 16 bit support are both removed ... so i geuss i dont need it.

Q: no option to remove Themes service.
A: There is option to remove it. But removal of THEMES SERVICE REALLY SLOWS EVERY PC!!!!! If You simply disable this service, it's OK!

Hello Friends!

I'm coming here to raise a small error:

When you load the saved settings, some items are not selected, they are:

- Windows Media Player | Disable silent acquisition
- Boot and Shutdown | Auto-End tasks immediately

Details of use:
- I'm using nLite-mode "Portuguese (Brasileiro)"
- nLite v.1.4.9.1
- Windows XP Professional (SP3) VLK

The nLite it's great!

Hi to all ,

I am french .

Details of use:
- nLite v.1.4.9.1
- Windows XP Professional (SP3)

When i try to use a CD-RW or DVD-RW previously used .
NLite re-format those media . OK .

But , when I try to burn those elements , Nlite don't recognize these one (???) .

Can you tell me what to do ?
Regards .

Try making just the ISO with nLite, then use a mainstream disc burning application (like Nero, Roxio, Ashampoo etc.) to burn the image.

Hi ,

Thank's for your answer .

Dispate , that's what I have done with "cdburnerxp" .

If the possibility to burn the media is wrong (with nLite) , put it off .

Regards .

[senmar]

First of all thank you big time nuhi for your work. nLite is great. I'm using it for my windows XP pro x86 cd.
Second I have a few remarks
I'm one of those guys that only use classic start menu. But for some reason some of the tweaks don't work properly.
- display administrative tools in start menu (administrative tools are diplayed but in classic start menu->customize this option is not checked. after closing the customization of classic start menu or rebooting the computer the tool disapears from start menu)
- use small icons
- disable personalized menu
Third I would like to kindly request additional tweaks:
- autohide taskbar option and show quick launch
- an option for cpl->system->performance settings->adjust for best performance
Thank you in advance and once again for your devotion to this project.

have question... nlite detect if update alredy integrated in the source?

[korri]

Would anyone know why setup requires nowadays net.exe?
This must be some hotfix introduced after October.

I get error msg "Unable to execute file: net
ShellExecuteEx failed; code 2"

That's not it. It's:

Command-line tools

and/or

Ethernet (LAN)
NetShell Cmd-Tool

It was this one. Still, it would be interesting to know what has changed, since I haven't changed anything else than upgraded the post-SP3 update pack and some of the addons...

[Angelico_Payne]

A question about integration :
I want to integrate IE7, WMP11, and all the subsequent hotfixes (which include some WMP11 & IE7 updates) into XP SP3 installation.

1.I start nlite - put all in the list for updating source installation files.
2.Program starts integrating and asks for WMP11 slipstreamer i download it and put .exe file in the nlite root folder, program continues and everything finishes OK.

However I noticed that the WMP slipstreamer has a function to slipstream WMP hotfixes as well.

So my questions are :

1. Were all WMP hotfixes integrated into installtion, althought they were added to be integrated via nlite and not using WMP slipstreamer
2. Are IE7 & WMP11 and all later updates for them really integrated into installation, and not just added to be installed via svpack or some other method in later stage of installtion

Great program...great work...great man!

Svaka čast!

Re Angelico Payne

After completion of nLite look in the directory /1386/SVCPACK
Files not integrated you will find in their original state.

It is possible to integrate WMP 11 and IE7 in your source and after that
to use nLite, use Google to find the program HFSLIP.
You have to add into HFSLIP the file "HFSLIP_POST_getnewfiles_v3.cmd"
and use the resulting file NEWBIN.TXT to add to the keepbox of nLite
the relevant files. You can use Notepad to edit LastSession.ini.

If i select in nLite to remove Drivers like the Toshiba driver then nLite doesn't remove it from the TXTSETUP.SIF file because of that i see always in the TXTMODE if Windows XP loads the Driver that the Toshiba driver gets loaded.

I think nLite removes only the Driver files but not the text in files like TXTSETUP.SIF that points to the driver.

I'm waiting to make a customized version of XP but on the website on the latest version it says Still polishing, so when the version 1.5 will come out ? And is it worth waiting ?

[wwwoholic]

I have a simple suggestion.

The [Hotfixes] section of the profile contains file names with full path. This makes it impossible to transfer your work to another computer. How about using path relative to working directory?

Lets say on one PC we have C:\NLite\Build\ as working directory. Then for C:\NLite\KBs\WindowsXP-KB892130-ENU-x86.exe file it will be:

[Hotfixes]
..\KBs\WindowsXP-KB892130-ENU-x86.exe

And we'll be able to move entire thing to different PC with output directories like:
D:\Slipstream\XP32\ISOFull\
D:\Slipstream\XP32\ISOLight\

as soon as we place KBs like this:
D:\Slipstream\XP32\KBs\WindowsXP-KB892130-ENU-x86.exe

Angelico_Payne, I looked here, curious what was being posted in a 'sticky' that would consume 19 pages. I was surprised to see problems. I think it best to post problems in the main (non-sticky) part of the forum.
Running nLite multiple times against the same source can lead to weird results. You cannot place .NET directly into nLite but you can use the RunOnce exit to install it. Here is a great guide (to XP x64), that includes .NET and its updates. If you have further questions or problems, please post them in the main forum section and , please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Enjoy, John.

Angelico_Payne, please move your questions over to the non-sticky portion of the nLite forum - lots of knowledgeable people there. I am not sure I can answer your questions. I can comment, since I use Kurt_Aust's method to install lots of stuff. I see the batch file start after the last boot. My auto login account is active but my theme is not installed and Windows Explorer is not running yet. I am also not sure why you are concerned about the service pact not applying. If you are talking about SP3, nLite slipstreams it into the source folder, so when Windows is installed, SP3 is there and ready to go. Come on over to the non-sticky with the rest of us. Enjoy, John.

After slipstreaming, I have problem installing the windows. It come to a BSOD after copying the system files. when i restart, it state the windows\system file is corrupted or missing. Sometime no NTDLR. any idea what i did wrong?
