[[Release] .NET Framework 1.1/2.0/3.0]

Does this addon really install all three versions of the .NET Framework? Cool! After updating the addon with the Service Pack 1 for .NET 1.1, this addon will be perfect! Thanks for your hard work.

um... you can't update it with Service Pack 1 for .NET 1.1, as I just said. At least, Windows isn't aware you've done so even if the patch works.

[[Release] .NET Framework 1.1/2.0/3.0]

Sorry for the double posting.

[[Release] .NET Framework 1.1/2.0/3.0]

This addon will not update to Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB886903)

[[Release] Notepad2 v2.0.15]

To clarify in case clarification was needed, this addon does not replace notepad.exe, but adds an option to the context menu to open a given file with Notepad2. You can easily tell XP to open all TXT files with Notepad2, though.

[[Release] Notepad2 v2.0.15]

After browsing without success for an addon of this notepad replacement, I've made my own.

I've tested it in VMWare and it works a frickin' treat.

Enjoy!

P.S. Does anybody know how to test these without having to get all the way to the VMWare stage?

[Hard disk goes crazy]

First thing - turn off indexing on that disk. Right click on the disk icon in Explorer and choose Properties. then uncheck the box at the bottom where it says, "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file seaching". That may not be the onoly thing, but it is one of them.

Second, if you are using Sysmantec AV Corp, the newer versions of that have an automatic scan on start up. If you have that, you can delete it. It's a good idea in a business, but a pain at home. [edit: I see you have AVG.]

Third, update to Adobe Reader 8 and you might consider the lite edition.

Fourth, put your pagefile on another partition, or even another disk.

I don't see anything right off the bat which might cause that kind of thrashing and I don't think it has to do directly with nLite itself. I see you've got AVG, so I'd check for a start up scan of some kind. Also, check what services are starting up with your Startup Monitor. You may find the culprit there.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated.

The problem here is that I have used this nLited disc on two powerful computers (one a brand new Intel Core 2 Duo machine) and both exhibit the same thrashing around for the first five minutes after logging in, and then settle down and are really zippy! The disc is not fragmented so I am thinking it is an error with one of the addon packs I've added. I do need to replace the version of Reader I am using with 8 - but other than that I am at a loss as to know what to do. I would also like to replace the version of iTunes I used because when Apple tried to update it (reported to have worked) it now won't open at all.

Any further ideas? I can't turn off drive indexing because I don't have the option or text at all to do so.

[Hard disk goes crazy]

hmmm...there's no virus scan running, because that was disabled. Registry shouldn't be fragmented (it's just been installed!).

I'm posting my nlite config file. Any help would be welcomed!

Can also post Windows task manager if that would help?

[Hard disk goes crazy]

Hi!

I would really appreciate it if anyone could offer an explanation or a way of discovering why my computer's hard disk goes mad for about three minutes post-boot up on an nLited XP disc?

In Windows Task Manager the 'System Idle Process' is at 98% CPU usage or thereabouts and remains there during and after the blitz.

I could post my INI boot config file?

Thanks!

[IE7 Bug - No icons for user account]

Or just integrate this registry fix:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico]
@="icofile"
"PerceivedType"="image"
"Content Type"="image/x-icon"

Thanks! That did the trick! Is there a better solution for use with nLite? Perhaps an addon release that doesn't do this in the first place?

Thanks again

[IE7 Bug - No icons for user account]

Thank you! Sounds perfect - but your link doesn't seem to work and I can't find the destination using forum search. I also don't know how to integrate registry fixes.

1 - is there a better release I should be using - one that doesn't do this?

2 - what else is affected? just user accounts?

[XP installation hangs at 33% installing devices]

Hi,

Two of my nLite created discs, on two seperate computers, have hung at 33% at the installing devices stage. If I then force reboot, the installer is able to pick up where it left off, only this time complete.

I wonder if this is because I have a Mac formatted external HDD plugged in via FireWire?

Any thoughts?

Cheers

[IE7 Bug - No icons for user account]

Hi

When I go into User Accounts, I am presented with the following iconless menu options.

I am running XPize via an nLite XP disc and using the Luna Royale Theme, and one of my addons is an IE7 release. Can post my config script if necessary.

[Slipstream Office 2003 SP2]

So is the consensus here that it's messy to try to slipstream anything past Office 2003 SP2 because sometimes internet update sites don't recognise you've actually got the hotfixes due to a flawed checking method?

[Office 2003 CD Updater]

This is a real shame - can this not be used to update Office 2003?

[[RELEASE] .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0]

Oh my babies where is the file?

[General questions]

If I promise not to be friendly does anyone have any thoughts on mine issues?

[General questions]

Hector's got so much love to give.

[General questions]

Hi chaps,

Having great fun with nlite (although it is such a time consuming process, I leave it chugging overnight!). Got some questions for you.

1) In trying to integrate XPize using an nLite addon, I've noticed that the nLite XPize doesn't seem to modify the login screen and doesn't seem to include TabSwitchXP!

2) I'm getting an error about Cmdow when integrating .NET as an nLite addon - how (in simple, clear terms) can I avoid this, my babies?

3) Can I:

silently install Office 2003 with nLite

silently install iTunes 7 with nLite

Loves,

H

[Problems and questions!]

Good news - of sorts!

Now NONE of my XP discs load as normal, even the original disc I used as my nLite source which has worked flawlessly time and time again!

Hmmm...guess I need to erase everything on the drive and start again! If anyone has any insight as to how this could happen I'd be interested to hear about it, because it sounds like something on the HDD is messing with the installation of Windows.

Hector's solved it my babies:

I had a USB stick plugged in. Only noticed when it showed up as a device in gParted.

As for why that would cause Windows to hang, I don't know. ey??!?!?!!?

[Problems and questions!]

Step 2 is so weird!

The disc works from within Windows - it loads the setup GUI! But when I try to boot from it - it just hangs! Any ideas?

[Problems and questions!]

Hi chaps,

I've successfully created my first bootable XP SP2 nLite DVD. It's great. I've got quetions, though!! hahaha woo lol.

1) Will most computers accept a boot DVD (vs a boot CD)? Is it true to say that if it can boot from CD, and the drive is a DVD drive, it will be able to boot from DVD?

2) I seem to have managed to create one coaster (my most recent DVD): when I try to boot from it, I get 'checking hardware configuration' but then it doesn't move beyond the blue screen for Windows setup, where normally you'd be asked about F6 for RAID etc. Any ideas?

Loves from Barbados,

[corporate cd > end user's own type]

does it matter that mine is a Corporate disc and the client's may not be?

[corporate cd > end user's own type]

Hi there,

I'm currently playing around with unattended installations and nlite. I think it's peachy.

However, for it to be any use to me in my job as a techie guy who repairs people's computers, I really need to be able to create a master disc for use in any client's machine. Is there any way I can create an unattended install using my product key and then change it to theirs when it's done? Does this make sense?
