lol...yes, I understand! I thank you for making your work available to others, like myself, who don't have skills in this field. gracias! :) I will continue looking for good detailed page about the differences and advantages/disadvantages between mypal and newmoon...and maybe I end up using and benefiting from your installer. I am not so happy with mypal as I had hoped to be... bye for now. Rico

430, hola from Mexico! I mean that I saw only an ftp-style directory listing with only the exe in it. I could not find any txt file describing exactly what the exe does, and whether it makes any changes to the system (e.g. registry etc etc.). You know, the 'usual questions' that a person has before downloading/executing any exe file. :) I did take a minute to navigate 'up' in the directory-structure, and even got to some website/pages, but I still could not find any page describing the installer. Maybe I just failed to see the right link? ps; today I was looking for better graphics-drivers for this older T60 laptop, and on another site I happened to see your installer mentioned again! There is a minimal description here, from two years ago I guess... http://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/10/roytam1-browser-installer.html I'm running mypal for past week now, but newmoon maybe is better? I am still trying to figure out the differences between the two! lol (newmoon and mypal) I hope I will soon find a detailed and well-written page about this. pps; yes, the installer link works fine now. buenas noches! Rico

fyi, the link underlying that URL in your sig is bad. The visible text works, but underlying link is not the same as text, and it fails. ( I speak of the link for your New Moon installer. ps; also, I couldn't find any description of the .exe on your site, so I did not feel good to download it). Rico

read first post..... uhmm....boooogy, I don't see any answer/info about this subject in the first post. Am I missing something?.....my browser not painting the page right? I've never installed, used, or even seen wmp11 so far.....so I would like to know...what were the 'tweaks'?? Is it worth me burning up life's-hours to chase down the 'tweaked' version that disappeared?....or not? thanks!

Me neither......which leads me to ask... Is it possible to disable all the nasty intrusive phone-home crap? And can this 'addon' do that?.....has the right 'switches' or whatever built in? thanks!

hi Iuli ! Thanks much for your kind, and informative, reply. So it wraps an installer around the existing installer... I guess I'm still missing something....I thought that nLite provided for specifying switches for each installer I tell it to run after XP-setup finishes and XP restarts...yes?...no? Please understand that, although I'm quite familiar with PC's, and have been installing NT since the NT3.51 days...I have -not- used nLite yet. I am right now in the 'research' phase....learning how to use it...especially, how to unpack these #@$#@ Lenovo T60 drivers and arrange them in a way that I actually get a proper automatic installation of them all (oh my, what fun we're having now... ). Anyway, I might well be confused, or simply ignorant, about the apps-install portion of the nLite process. If so...if I'm asking something 'stupid'....go ahead and laugh...or lambast me....I don't mind. You said... "Just think how much time you can spare if applications will install by them self, of course, with the default settings, but sometimes configurable through the silent switches. This is applicable to Windows installation process (if you want to include your favorite software)," oh yeah dude....I AM thinking just that!!...that's why I'm on this thread in the first place, eh? My goal in this... I want to end up with an nLited XPsp3 for a Thinkpad T60 which automatically and unattendedly installs XPsp3, all the T60 drivers (chip, imsm, hotkey/smif, power-manager, g945 video, uaa, soundmax, pro1000 enet, 3945wifi, bluetooth, ultranav, etc), AND a set of about 10-15 apps.... (All in 'cleanest' possible config....no phoning home, no auto-updates, etc) Tbird email Firefox 3.6.28 JRE FDM aka free download mgr CDXP ImgBurn Emule Mirc WinRar MediaMonkey3 Mathcad Foxit Filezilla Audacity CodecPak WMP uTorr Nirsoft collection SysInternals collection and a handful of XP utils 2nd goal... I'd like to be able to take this finished set of nLite/others configs-profiles that does all that, and twitch the drivers folder so that it makes the same install but for Thinkpad T61....and then again for an Acer X1200 mini tower....and then again for a few others... Like....without having to do all the config stuff from scratch again. I'm essentially a hardware guy, not a coder. Don't know C, don't know scripting, etc.. Most of the 'guides' I've read so far have post after post and page after page of script-writing etc.. I get disheartened, ya know? Especially, I have yet to find a truly step-by-step and FULLY explained guide for the Lenovo thinkpad drivers. Like, how to unpack the "hotkey" package and nLite it so that the SMI (system management interface) driver gets installed early, but the rest of the Hotkey package (like OnScreen Display etc) not until after all the hdw drivers. Well, I will keep looking. Thank you again Iuli.....appreciate your kind and quick reply. B) B) Grubstake

OK, color me confused....what is this program FOR ?? I couldn't find anything in the first post that explains what it DOES....in other words...WHY I would use it. I went to Iuli's website for a description, but couldn't find it there either. Does this take an already-installed App, configured the way I like it, and repackage it back up into an silent-installer? If so, that's cool and something I'd really like to have! If not.....then what do people use this SFXmaker -for-? thanks!
