I just found a new tool called depends.exe

It is located in your XP CD in SUPPORT\TOOLS and is compressed in SUPPORT.CAB.

It lists program dependancies and should be quite handy for this topic.

Hi!
What components are needed for normal functioning of ADSL connection and ADSL modems?
THX

[alsiladka]

Office update ?

[bolajones]

BaRoMeTR,
I have an ADSL connection and I remove all network and tcp/ip services and components. The only issue is that if I remove DHCP Client, an icon on taskbar is showing trying to search a network. I fix this configuring some IP on TCP/IP protocol on Local Area Connection. I use 192.168.254.254 for IP, Gateway defaullt and first DNS Server. But any IP will work.

So you don´t need any component that nLite can remove for now.

It is ok to you?

Do you have to dialup or are you using a router ?

If you remove this file pre-installation The backgroun transfer service, numerous shortcuts and the my "folder name" collection of folders will fail to be created.

In the latest nLite version(1.0rc7), Warcraft III: TFT no longer requires the Protected Storage service to be running under Win2k. You can safely disable it, and I presume safely remove it. I am not sure what nLite version this changed in, but apparently something connection related is all better now.

Can anyone tell me what not to remove in order to make ZoneAlarm 6 work ?

[husalov]

The entry for Adobe Acrobat Writer is wrong...it definitely does not depend on System Restore but on COM+ which System Restore depends on as well.

[atomizer]

just a word of caution about disabling the start menu MRU file list:

i just caused a 2 day headache for the developer of FreePCB (circut board design s/w) because i disabled the startmenu MRU list. he changed his his code to make it work with it disabled however (available later tonight or tomorrow). the problem was 'exceptions' when trying to open or save a document. since i also removed dr. watson, it only made things that much more difficult for the poor fella i won't be removing either in future builds.

I just wanted to add, renaming 'Program Files' might cause a slight inconvienience to those that use tools such as system (file) cleaners. For instance, if you use CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/ or any other utility which has a database outlining the 'program' directory, it might not find the custom naming scheme if you do so.

An example, CCleaner uses '%ProgramFiles%' in it's .ini file. So the app wouldn't find your custom location and some features in CCleaner wouldn't work.

Why were the icons of WMP for media files deleted and replaced with this s***ty old versions?

[Zardoc]

Yo all,

anyone know what is causing Acrobat reader to show text in weird shapes like Chinese or what??

Someone notice what is removed to cause this??

Thanks,

Is there anything required for beta versions of office 2007?

[cmanser]

I am using nLite to remove crap and I want to use hibernate/standby on my laptop - what option allows standby?

HELP...

[Camarade_Tux]

In "Options" page, don't check "disable standby".
In Components, under compatibility, don't tick "Battery".
There's a tweak (maybe in unattended page) to disabled hibernate, don't check.

Apart from that, there's nothing to avoid.
(I'm running my laptop without any problem)

I did not remove input method editor yet office 2003 updates wont work for me. It has been happening since a pretty loong time .

ranging from many versions of nLite and many windows cd. All i can remember is just once was my office able to update itself.

I have asked this question separatly in a thread but no help

Someone please come up with a solution!!!

i do not install the complete office suite though , i leave out quite many stuff. it should not matter i guess.

I can update the service pack but not the other!! What should i do?

I'm also having this problem... I read in this topic that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is also needed. just making a cd now with this included... gonna see if it works.

If anyone in the mean time has a list of everything needed by microsoft/office update then that would be great!

Do not remove npptools.dll (I believe it's part of Network Monitor) if you use WinPcap for any reason (I use it for wc3banlist).

Took me a while before I discovered how to decompress NPPTOOLS.DL_ from my un-nlited xp-sp2-ryanvm-ed XP source.

[Camarade_Tux]

Is npptools.dll the only needed component ?

Last time I tried to use nmap, it failed though I restored npptools.

Anyway, "Network Monitor" seems to be the only component that could cause WinPcap/nmap/Ethereal not to work.
(gonna check this soon)
