rado - I do have the refresh button but that doesn't change anything - the laptop is completly ignorant of the network it is supposed to connect to. Must admit the difference in terms threw me off first of all - I was looking for an update option.
Probably best to start from scratch though the main user of that laptop is perfectly happy to repair it every time so it is a low priority for me to sort out.

Thanks for the screenshots but I don't get that option.
I don't know where the option to remove Network awareness is so I don't think I removed it.
Further investigation seems to suggest that the problem PC doesn't have an IP address when it starts up so doesn't know what it is, so to speak. Using the "repair" function re-allocates an IP address then it works perfectly.
Intersted to see if a solution to your problem can also solve mine.

Can you possibly post a screen shot of that step - I have exactly this problem but don't get that option followiong your instructions above.
If I "repair" the connection it works every time after renewing the ip address and will stay on line for days on end but once I restart I have to repair again. It sound like it doesn't know its IP address and has to renew it every time to work.

There is an addon specifically designed to address this issue - it was listed on here last year some time as a method of enabling it after installing IE7, which seems to knock it out. Do a search on my user name and you will find the exact name of the addon.

There is an option in nLite right at the very last step before the final processing where you can enable an option to deal with exactly this problem. Sorry it escapes me now the exact name but it is in the same list where you can pick "OEM Branding" as an option which should guide you to where you need to look.
Edit - just had a look and the option is called "Minimum Memory Requirement".

You tell nLite where your Windows working directory is located right at the very beginning - that is your working directory. Let's call it nLiteCD.
nLite does its stuff and gets to the stage where you can add to your directory or carry on and make the ISO straight away. If you want to add to the directory, for example I add drivers for my Epson printer then minimise nLite by clicking on the "Tray" icon at the bottom left of the nLite window.
Now open your working directory nLiteCD.
Create another folder and call it something like Extras - you create this in your working directory as a new folder. So you now have a few existing folders and your new Extras folder all in your nLiteCD folder (working directory).
Add whatever you want to your Extras folder, creating sub folders if necessary - I drag my printer drivers into the Extras folder.
When you are happy you have added any extras that you might wish to have on your nLited CD close the working directory.
Click on the nLite icon which is showing in the system tray and the nLite program pops back up at the point where you left it.
Click on "create ISO", give it a name and save it to your desktop if you want to burn the ISO later or stick a blank CD in your burner and burn direct to CD.
This way your ISO includes all the Windows folders, a few files that nLite creates and your new Extras folder.
If you have the standard autorun on your CD you can browse the CD and open the extras folder so you can install whatever is in it at any time you want to.

I have two addons that I add with nLite to fix this problem. This is the easiest and simplest way round it.
Do a search for the addon by Ricktendo called "Quick Launch Addon" which ensures the quick launch bar is enabled by default. This was posted in approx 11th September.
and
The addon by Owikh84 called "showdesktopicon" posted around 5th November
Both of these work perfectly and I am using the latest version of IE7.

As an update I thought I had a working CD until I tried using media player - it threw up an error every time telling me it wasn't installed correctly. Turns out it is the RVM integrator that is causing the problem because when I remade the exact same CD but using nLite to integrate WMP11 (the Boooggy tweaked pack) it works perfectly and as a bonus gives a finished ISO about 30MB smaller in size too.
So to avoid the error it looks like nLite is definitely the way to go to integrate WMP11.

Be aware that the nLite produced CD will not autorun in the same way as the original Windows CD. By this I mean if you place the nLite CD into your CD drive while booted up in Windows it will not autorun. If you do the same thing with the original CD while in Windows it will bring up the box with all the choices on it - like "browse this CD", "perform additional tasks" etc. This is the welcome screen - it is not an indication of whether the CD you made in nLite is bootable or not, that is a completely different thing which you can only test by setting your PC to boot from the CD drive first. If it still fails then try nuhi's suggestions but I haven't had to do that on any of the nLite CDs I have made so far.
If you want the welcome screen on your nLite CD just copy the autorun.inf and setup.exe over from the original CD after the nLite process but before you make the ISO.

To answer my own question - yes you do exactly what I described.
Just tested my updated 6.1.0.0 addon and it works fine.
Pity the trial box pops up during the install - any way to suppress that (besides adding my licence key during the install - I prefer to do that later)?
0 -
Updated to v6.0.9.9
Version 6.1.0.0 is now out.
If I want to update this myself is it simply a matter of editing the ini file to reference the 6100 exec file and swapping the existing 6099 file for the new one, before repacking?

The latest release of Media Player 11 by Boooggy has fixed it! Managed to successfully make a working CD without changing anything else other than that one addon.
0 -
Yup, just saw that. Trying it out now...
[update] It works!
I tried the Zacam patch but it still failed in the same way.
But Boooggy has released a new MediaPlayer 11 Addon which is supposed to fix this issue now.
At least I know now that I was not the only one getting this issue.
Time to start from scratch with the new WMP11 release.

Looks like a solution may have been found. Will do some testing to see if it fixes the issue and report back.

I'm fairly certain I tried it with just the 2.1.5a update pack and no other addons and still got the error but I will try it without the mediaplayer 11 addon again. In fact that particular addon is different from the one I used for the November CD so I can try the older version too to see if there is any difference. At least now I know it is not just me with this issue but it is odd that I never had it before.
I use a whole heap of addon packs, nearly all of which I have used many times so it will take quite a while to narrow it down to a particular pack but that may be the only way in the end.
My non nLite CD is now around 880MB in size, compared to 670MB after slimming down so it is essential that I get it working again with nLite.

Apologies for the double post - don't know how that happened.
I have attached my last session.ini again because it does not seem to be showing correctly.
I have just been through the lastsession.ini from a working CD and compared it to the problem one that I last used and there are a few differences so I can try using the old ini file with my newest build and see if that works and report back.ethan.bmp

Hi, my first post here but I have been lurking for over a year and have made over 20 custom CDs with nLite with absolutely no problems until now.
Every single attempt to produce a working CD fails with the error shown below at the stage where it reboots to the GUI installation stage.
The singnature for Windows XP Professional Setup is invalid. The error code is 800b0100.No singnature was present in the subject.
***
Fatal Error:
Setup falied to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information.

This is in VM Ware _ I haven't tried a real install because there seems no point if it fails in a VM.
I did a search and found the same errors in a few old posts dating back to October 2005 but nothing since so it does not seem to be a common error. The suggestions in those posts do not seem to help in this case.
Here is what I have been doing.
I use the RVM Integrator to integrate the latest RVM update pack 2.1.5a which goes perfectly. If I burn an ISO and test at that stage everything works.
I then open the Integrator for a second time, delete any log files from the first run and then integrate all the Addons that I want to include. If I use the integrator to create an ISO and test it works perfectly.
The problem starts when I use nLite to slim down the installation - if I even make one single change it will fail with the above error. It makes no difference if I use nLite or the Integrator to make the ISO. I went back and tried the 2.1.4 pack to rule out the latest pack and the failure is the same.
I upgraded to the latest nLite 1.3b - same result.
I went back to 1.2.1 after deleting the nLite folder and doing a complete registry clean.
I am using the same source CD which has always worked perfectly before.
I tried using nLite for everything - integrating the update pack and the addons but most of my addons are geared towards the integrator - all have worked perfectly previously. The failure occurs even without a single addon being put in - it is nLite that is somehow no longer working for me.
I then tried my last successful CD which used the 2.1.4 pack in November and was slimmed down with nLite afterwards in the normal way. That CD works perfectly so I used that as my source, added some addons with the Integrator then ran it through nLite and it was successful, but I have some programs integrated into that build that have been updated or I no longer want in there.
Every CD I have made in the past has been successful - in the beginning they were done in nLite 100% then I started adding some addons with the Integrator before removing components with nLite and they all still worked fine.
I have run out of ideas and I can no longer use nLite to slim down my builds - I am removing exactly the same components as I always did - nothing new. I tried an old session and nLite then worked, which is tending to indicate that it is something that I am doing now that I didn't do before, but I can't find what I am doing differently. I've gone through the whole thing step by step starting from scratch and I get the failure every time.
I can integrate my addons using the Integrator but end up with an ISO of over 800MB, using nLite afterwards slims this down to 687MB so I still want this functionality to work. I am not removing anything dramatic - just normal things the same as I did before.
I have tried with IE7 and without it - same result.
I understand that my last session should give some clues so I have attached that.
Sorry this post is so long but I have tried everything I can think of so far without getting anywhere fast. It is definitely something to do with the way I am using nLite - I am hoping someone can spot what I am doing wrong and let me sort this out.
Thanks
