I used the xp home sp1 cd that came with my laptop with nlite beta9. After going through all the steps and testing the iso with vmware I get Copy Errors for the missing cursor files,music.wma,music.asx, and music.bmp. No other problems were noted. All seems fine after the install

@Hamner...ok, i have made some kind of tooltip when you cross over Make ISO button, will be in next release...i still don't want all page for making iso, maybe later.
Winnt.sif...well, as Milgathia stated you can put your own in data or overwrite before making iso...it's not crucial, you can put any winnt.sif, just it's good to have those sfc and driver signature entries.
Winnt.sif maker tool exists, made by bored i think. Search for it.

@Rudi1...yey...about empty folders, i'm still searching from where they get made, i'm affraid if it's syssetup or layout then there is no cure, they have signature, can't be touched.

@Markymoo,

@bigman1, just don't select Music Sample option...this is second time i got this bug report, putting it on known bug list, thanx

About cursors...i'll see that, it's a new option so there could be an error

I just try nLite beta 9 with latest xp sp2 2135 and work without any problem.I try this in xp home edition retail.It's really miracle what so small progi can do!



i have just a litle not important guestion:when everything of install is finish in program files left empty folder(IE,OE,movie maker...)?

You'll probably only be able to delete those by disabling WFP and deleting them via a batch script.

I just tried beta9, and it works great; NO errors!

One question: why is the scrnsave.scr needed?

Keep up the good work nuhi

EDIT:

Forgot one thing: will it be possible in a future release to select what printers drivers aren't removed?
Because I use the XPdriver for my HP Deskjet 840C.

[AztecMystic]

I haven't tried installing my drivers in safe mode, just because I don't want it to do it that way. All the other setups run just fine. First I thought it might have been the problem of my RunOnceEx, but even when I tried in normal mode it wouldn't work...

I have tried it with drivers left in there, and with all the drivers out. No difference. Stupid setup from nVidia, first time I wish I didn't have this nForce chipset. Maybe the setup uses something I do not know, but so far I only know that the setup requires DirectX9 for install but it warns you if you don't have DirectX9. Is there anything else that the setup could need? I just left out everything that is recommended for removal except for wordpad, IE, QoS, firewall, Multilanguage support, error reporting, autoupdate, security center.

It's just sucky that everything else works just fine, but even if I go into the hardware manager and select the ethernet card, I choose to install the driver from a specific location, browse to the right folder with the right drivers in it, it doesn't find the drivers... I guess this has something to do with the GART drivers that need to be installed too, maybe this is because VMWare can't acces the chipset the way it's supposed to or not? I have no idea.

@ nuhi

sorry I was cleaning up
sp1 reduction, don't use nLite for sp1
use another method........

refering to the large spaces in textsetup,
sp2 is tight and I use nLite for that, of course.

Aztec are you using SP2, as there is a known problem with both SP2 and Lognhorn where the nfroce drivers won't install, i personally believe this is, because a new windows installer/installshield is included. XP SP1a/ has v2, SP2 has v3, and Longhorn has 4 although it isn't finsihed so i doubt the 4 is much different vs the current v3 builds in sp2.

[Famer]

nuhi are you getting close to RC1 it's a cool program

[AztecMystic]

@TomoDak
I'm using SP2 2096, but I have a slipstreamed nLited install on my system right now. Maybe it's just the VMWare that screws up or whatever... no idea yet so I'm back of experimenting.

[nuhi]

@bucketbuster, scrnsave.scr is just an example how can you save single file from component removal (and i like that "blank screen saver" )
About printers...it's hard to tell because they are all in one file, listen what you can try...edit ntprint.inf in your i386 folder and find section with your printer, copy file names used in that particular printer and put it to "File keep box", it may work.

@AztecMystic, that's a serious problem, tell me, you experienced that only on virtual machines or in the real pc too ?
Normaly virtual machines have their own emulated hardware, windows will not see it as nforce.

@Famer, acctually i was thinking about it, when "16bit" and music sample bug are solved it could be named rc1.
In a week probably.

[AztecMystic]

I only had this on the VMWare. I'm off, trying it on my workstation Got some screwed up dualboot already so what the heck. After I get this unnatended one really good, it's format completely dammit

[Milgathia]

A good winnt.sif editor is contained inside the dir SUPPORT\TOOLS just inside the Deploy.cab

setupmgr.exe is what you're searching for.

A curiousity:

The CAB compression algorithm wasn't developped by Microsoft, originally it was called LZX and was created on tha Amiga Platform many years ago.

Then they've purchased from the authors the technology and (maybe) recluted the creators inside the devteam.

@Nuhi

I've just downloaded the new version, I've checked a little it but... (surprise) no java eradicating option was inside!!! :°

P.S.: put an option to do not eradicate the DRM when you omit the mediaplayer from the installation!


Kind Regards

@AztecMystic
It's most likely that you're using the VMWare to test. It doesn't detect a single bit of hardware the a normal machien would except maybe the prcoessor.

It most likely works on a normal workstation.

Neither SP1a nor SP2 contain the MSJVM. Neither does Win2K SP4 or Win2K3. Why would he need to?

[AztecMystic]

Aaaah yes, that did the trick I installed everything on my corkstation (edit:workstation lol) just fine, thx for all the help guys.

Now a few little things:

The "saving settings" (T-9 > T-1) appears to take ages while with a normal install this was the part that went really fast... just wondering.

After this clean install with beta9 (which had a super boot ) a certain COM surrogate crashed, don't know what that is, but it's the first time I ever had that happen to me.

Anyway thx for the help and kudos (again) for the prog nuhi hehe

[nuhi]

@Milgathia, will do, both of them...i'm waiting sp1...i only got sp1a

@AztecMystic, first i'm glad it was a false alarm
(T-9 > T-1), never heard of it, probably something you added for unattended install...it's definatelly not nlite soo...
About COM...have you removed Distributed Transaction Coordinator ??
I'm glad it's almost working flawless ... enjoy in tha' speed

[AztecMystic]

I haven't uninstalled the distribution transaction coordinator. In fact I haven't removed anything which was not recommended. Weird, if it happens again, I'll let you know, if not... also

[mrmx]

Confirmed.
I use nlite Beta9 to reduction XPsp1a. On the setup process. XP report can't find Mouse Cursors like appstar2.ani appstar3.ani and so on.

follow is my option&log file.
