I have the ISO built and installs everything OK, but upon first reboot it never gets far enough to load explorer... im wondering if its missing some registry keys to get things going? Safe mode doesnt start up... same problem. Is anyone else working on 4074 lite?

OK, so its not completely locking up... It's loading winlogon and explorer extremely slow. After winlogon is finished, explorer is loaded (slowly) and the start bar never shows up.

It sounds like some mising files in WinSxS and/or assembly folder. Compare the original one with yours.
I also had to disable some compontents in sysoc.inf (almost like posted here on first page). If you have disabled the sidebar, you have to add this registry entry in unattended:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SideBar]
"AutoHide"=dword:00000000
"Width"=dword:00000096
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\SideBar]
"AutoHide"=dword:00000000
"Width"=dword:00000096
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

One is for 4053 and below, one for 4074. I don't know which was for which version, last work on it is long time ago.

i have completed this for 4074 and all components work and everything is perfect except upgrading from xp. i am trying to work out the upgrade bugs and will post a torrent for the iso if you are interested. every file except one is from 4074, and i intergrated the new folder fix as well.

I made everything like you say, but I get one strange error.
All installation finish without any problem, but on the first start/boot I cannot log in, there I get message "Waiting for Terminal Services to disconnect session 0" and windows freeze on this message.

So, maybe I'm doing something wrong because, this is happening on LH 4051, 4053 in VmWare and Virtual PC
Please tell me if you have some solution or send me a link for already repacked longhorn.
,Thanks
