@Milgathia
After slipstreaming you have directx9.0b no? I slipstreamed the sp2 2096 (not even the latest but the last one from m$). I nLited my install cd, and after installing it (nothing updated) I ran dxdiag, and it gave me version 9.0b (4.09.0000.0903)

One more Q:
What happens exactly when you remove the valueadd folder?

I have not splipstreamed the SP2 since it's not officially out yet and it's only available in english.

That's the reason why I've asked for more components in list

Anyway the value add is a folder with additional programs, mainly for sysadmins, you don't need 'em for setup purposes.


Kind Regards

I actually suggested not forcibly removing valueadd folder because I, like many of my friends who do tech work, put custom things in valueadd and remove the "3rd party" stuff that exists in there. Ive moved most things to runonceex capability, but for things that dont work there, I move into the valueadd folder just to keep the layout somewhat the same as the original...If i needed to add some text files, then I would prolly keep the DOCS folder also, but its just what I do...I did say that it could have been an option as to whether you wanted it removed...but I think the multilanguage bug is being fixed hardcore right now, so until that is done, I prolly wouldnt make any suggestions

[nuhi]

@Milgathia, nice...so even if mplayer is removed i may keep drm component, i'll see if it can be clensed from others

@ZuluDC, yahoo!...but that's weird, hoTy3k had error with beta8 and he has german windows too

@rudi1, i still haven't got your original, pre-nlite infs, so you could experience same problem.

@evilvoice, i don't know if you are aware of it but now it's all selectable, docs, valueadd, they will apear if detected

@hoTy3k please test this version and let me know.
If it hangs there again, try without selecting any driver.
Do you have the same problem with beta7 ?
I just reinstalled test version with your infs and it was ok.

There was ie, 'show desktop' and no language faults.
Others download only if you are willing to test and report language issues.

dreadful beta8 third version download here.

- changed encoding detection a little bit
- changed cdimage attributes, some problems could be a result of small letters as someone warned me
- fixed issue remembering last selected drivers and processing them

[Rudi1]

really sorry nuhi,becouse I misunderstanding
what files you need and I send you a wrong files,but now I hope that be o.k.
I have out of home.so I'am a little late
I try your latest build,but I have the same error

[evilvoice]

whoops nuhi, im sorry, I havent looked at a build since I think 4, tho I might have checked 6, just like an open and close type of thing...Im just sitting here patiently awaiting until after you get the multilanguage bugs fixed and start working more on options no rush though...Ill be out of town for 2 weeks.

PS Jazz, HELLO! and I like the sig, and a HELLO! to everyone else from 911cd, looks like you all found me LOL

[Jazz]

Heya evil wassup man ! long time no see

Well spotting you isnt that difficult you see... you make your self stand out wherever you go

Looks like after exploring the world of Hardcore bootable cd development, ppl have come here to relax their senses with unattended xp

anyways, i'll be hangin around ... i kinda like this app, this has enabled me to fit my cd on a 700mb disk, *phew*

BYe,
JAzz

[nuhi]

Just received Rudi1's email, he has Home Edition, so maybe that was a problem.
Now i got his infs and will check that later.

If you have some other language then english on a Pro version please try 8.3 from my previous post and let me know is it working...on email will be better.

[Milgathia]

Nuhi, since ther's the option to remove IE and OE, what about to remove the JVM too?


Kind Regards

[ZuluDC]

I was not able to let my fingers away from nlite

Like always short test in VMWare. I don't know if it was the Distributed Transaction Coordinator that make my beta8_second install to an fault-alert fiesta by clicking around...but now...

...i say now...

...it looks good...

...very good...

...very very good...

would say: Nearly perfect!!!

ZuluDC holds all thums up (...i think it is time to make a handstand once again )

[nuhi]

@Milgathia, gladdyxxx just sent me instructions so that i can integrate it faster, thanx goes to him and you know that will be effective only on windows xp and windows xp with sp1.
Sp1a and sp2 don't have jvm in them.

@ZuluDC, OO YEAH...finally good news, now just to fix home edition problem and i'm on the road again.

[nuhi]

beta 8.4 is out.

- fixed manual installation (temporary fix by Markymoo)
- fixed missing txtsetup entry for help and tour (home edition bug and maybe some others)
- moved Distributed Transaction Coordinator to Experimental

edit: o yes, and big thanx to Markymoo for his manual install help
If you are building AIO cd then after gosh slim you got session_3 error see below.

[bonedaddy]

bonedaddy

[nuhi]

@bonedaddy, i still haven't got time to look into 16-bit problem, i will put it in changelog if it becomes fixed

Temporary Working Solution to put nLite on Multi-Boot AIO.

Do not remove winnt32.exe support in the components list in nLite or you will come stuck.

Move your reduced nLite xp folder into your AIO folder.

Using the gosh method slimming down technique(will not make xp any smaller but have to do to make the boot folder).
Run "winnt32 /noreboot" from your nLite I386 folder.

Rename C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT to ... lets call it PRO1 for clarity and move it to your AIO folder. You probably already have a PRO1 folder so call it 4 digits whatever. Delete BOOTSEC.DAT and migrate.inf in PRO1 folder. Delete C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS

Copy the file smss.exe in your nLite XP I386\system32\ folder to your PRO1\system32\ folder. Thats right its missing.

Edit your txtsetup.sif setupldr.bin in PRO1 folder as usual and lastly winnt.sif which i explain below.

Using gosh method with nLite makes the below winnt.sif in C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT which is now your PRO1 folder. This dosent work. I've pasted it here to remedy quicker. So use your own or the one i've included which i pasted straight after.

nLite winnt.sif This is not working. I dont know why just yet.

A little tribute Even if I'm just starting this windows unnatended stuff, I just love this tool (it's in the lower section hehe)

[nuhi]

@Markymoo, thank you, thank you

I just tried your fix and it works, but i needed to copy smss.exe from original i386\System32\smss.exe to BOOT\system32\smss.exe and i386\system32\smss.exe

Winnt.sif i used from nlite...


edit:

@AztecMystic,

@Markymoo, yes, you are right, only in BOOT\SYSTEM32\smss.exe

[Markymoo]

@Nuhi I have removed OriSrc="C:\XP" look up

I described all that in the solution. The PRO1 is the boot folder C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT renamed.

Copy the file smss.exe in your nLite XP I386\system32\ folder to your PRO1 folder. Thats right its missing.

[nuhi]

@Markymoo, thanks to your help it's little simpler.

You are right, only copy smss.exe to BOOT\SYSTEM32\SMSS.EXE (or PRO1)

but....that winnt sif you mentioned, it's not nlite generated, it's windows..
only error is msdosinitiated="1"
needs to be changed to msdosinitiated="0" and it works...no temporary files error

Test it and if i'm mistaken correct me, i'm going now to find a source of the problem.

[Markymoo]

Yes its working with msdosinitiated="0"

Nice One

You know what?.... "I have been nLited"

Yes i didnt study straight away, happy it was working for awhile.

I meant to say Copy the file smss.exe in your nLite XP I386\system32\ folder to your boot\system32\ folder.


this and the language problem is sorted!!
