attach your preset....

[Nameless One]

Could you please add a field to enter the location of vista via keyboard?
Due to a problem I have been having since I started using nlite 1.2.1
the browse dialog is broken, only "Locate the Windows Vista install files"
text and the ok and cancel buttons in an otherwise barren grey dialog box.

(All save/open type dialogs displayed by 32bit programs are broken in some way,
64bit ones are fine)

hey nuhi

first off thanks,
second off , if you need an alpha tester, I'll hose my system for it
then fix it right back up, and be ready to go again in an hour. lol


But I was wondering if any DRM can be removed, along with trusted installer services.

[nuhi]

Nameless One, I'm guessing you integrated IE7 with nLite into x64? That bug I was fixing yesterday and it may have been fixed, under testing now. Bad news is that you will have to reinstall to fix it, either don't integrate IE7 (only problem in x64 wow64) or wait new version and do integrate IE7.

gdogg, I don't want to aim for the sensitive stuff like DRM, Activation and similiar.

[nuhi]

This is too important until the next version, if you have error 5 remove read only attributes...blah.

Bug report for vLite 0.6

When removing Search Indexer, besides

\Windows\winSxS\x86_windowssearchengine.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en-us_8cee37712b17ca53

these file is also removed:

\Windows\System32\tquery.dll

that is required by Microsoft Sysprep 3.14

One of the sysprep plugins in Vista RTM uses tquery.dll and its \En-US\tquery.dll.mui from System32. The assembly itself is safe to remove.
The workaround is to manually restore them from the original WIM.

MFCK, ok I'll check

Mcfly000, well it could be but also try to get CDImage.exe somewhere from the net and make ISO with it, use boot image from vlite's root folder

Hanschke, fixed in the upcoming version

dexter.inside, thanks. And I know what you did last summer.

[dexter.inside]

hehe, I see you like NT 5.x being deployed with the beta-1 WIM and the longhorn setup. I like it better than Norton Ghost

so here's the other possible bugs i've been investigating this week:

1) Media Center is missing .NET 1.0.3705

There's this Media Center problem that keeps annoying me.... vLite has removed a certain component (not sure which) that has also removed the following: (as stated by HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs)

\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscorrc.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscorsec.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\microsoft.vsa.vb.codedomprocessor.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\microsoft.jscript.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\iehost.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\pxwma.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\pxcpyi64.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\system.data.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\diasymreader.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\wminet_utils.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscorrc.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\system.configuration.install.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscordbi.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\system.enterpriseservices.dll
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\vsavb7rt.dll

I do not think that it was your intention to cripple the 1.0.3705 .NET, so something is odd here.

Furthermore, pxwma.dll is required AFAIK by a certain part of the WMFDIST11, and I think it is related to the MPEG playback problem. Media Center crashes due to not being able to perform it's scrpting operations via the missing DLLs.

2) There's a missing assembly that shouldn't be missing

I think Windows Servicing Stack causes problems to the prefetch funtionality due to the absence of

\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_07289f4cca5f6990

I am not getting a Event Viewer response on this. More people should check this.
Check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version\6.0.6000.16386

3) Windows Help files are still registered for a MMC snap-in

Specifically, MSCs that load these three snap-ins cause small delays (the "adding snap-in" notification) because of:

\Windows\Help\eventviewer.chm in HKLM\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{b05566ad-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}\LinkedHelpTopics
\Windows\Help\taskscheduler.chm in HKLM\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{c7b8fb06-bfe1-4c2e-9217-7a69a95bbac4}\LinkedHelpTopic
\Windows\Help\taskscheduler.chm in HKLM\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{c7b8fb07-bfe1-4c2e-9217-7a69a95bbac4}\LinkedHelpTopic

My Event Viewer is significantly slower when using it than the rest of compmgmt.msc components

4) Windows Sounds

removing Windows Sounds does not remove these:

\Windows\media\tada.wav in HKU\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\FaxSent\.default 
\Windows\media\ding.wav in HKU\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\FaxError\.default

5) Removal of Windows Error Reporting should also remove the WER registration

(user-account)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue is no longer created so

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\VolumeCaches\Windows Error Reporting Queue Files\Folder

should be removed in order to prevent the ReadyBoost service to cache it. I also think that this is related to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\APITracing\LogFileDirectory

I still have arround 80 extra issues that I am investigating this week. I will continue the listing when I will have more time.
P.S. This thread is way more entertaning than the one that I've been seeing for the past 8 months in Vista Beta

nuhi thank's now i have a bootable Vista lite i did it with oscdimg.exe and a command script

CLS
@echo off
TITLE Creating ISO Image of Miscrosoft Windows Vista
ECHO.
ECHO You image is now being created. Make sure oscdimg.exe is present.
ECHO.
ECHO Creating your ISO...
oscdimg -bd:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com -h -j1 -j2 -m -o -x-lVISTA_LITE_ES_DVD D:\Vista\ C:\VISTA_LITE_ES.iso
ECHO.
PAUSE
EXIT

now it's 100% bootable and i wonder why your program didn't make it bootable in the first hand

i have used your other program "nlite" many times and it have never made a bad bootable iso with nlite ,
so that's why i wonder what i did wrong with vlite why i't didn't create a bootable iso

Are you referring to some Summer of Code you attended (was itfrom Google?). In any case, it all sounds a bit like jibbarish, but seems we have some nice help from somone who know his business.

[nuhi]

dexter.inside, nice, I'll review all of that.

Mcfly000, I presume you used CDs there, this control I'm using has some incompatibilities with few DVDs, they are working on it.

Jeronimo, I ment on some illegal activities so better to put it aside.

Actually no, that's another project I am doing. nuhi points out very well that the stuff I learned about how the NT 6.0 works and how Vista components interact were not learned through the "official MSDN channels", but through what I might call "complementary methods" MSDN comes always too late for me

6) Missing dependencies in DirectPlay 9Ex

\Windows\system32\dpwsock.dll and \Windows\system32\dpserial.dll are being removed by something.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Services\{5046ab8cb6b1ce11920c00aa006c4972}\Path
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Services\{5246ab8cb6b1ce11920c00aa006c4972}\Path

I think these two should not be removed. This issue may cause problems on games designed for DirectX 10

I will make today a minimal build with everything removed to check again these for further missing dependencies.

dexter.inside,

#1, I fixed the Media Center for the next version, it wasn't the .net, you can see in full Vista that those 2 old .NET versions are same as after vLite.

#2, also not true

#3, Ok, done

#4, Gonna check

#5, WER parts are left because needed

#6, also not true since I don't remove them, how about you research a little better before posting, I must say when I saw so detailed report I thought it will be true...but it turns out you're kinda trigger-happy. Anyway it's appreciated, we did fixed few things.

[toxin]

nuhi can you give a hint about when the next version will be relesed?

[nuhi]

In a few days, maybe tomorrow. If it doesn't don't blame me, I'm just trying to be polite
