I have created a very lite Vista and I am testing it on a virtual PC. It seems vlite removed the "Indexing Options" in the Control Panel. Is it because I removed Windows search in vLite?? I don't know but anyway I wanted to remove it so that's fine. However when I check the properties of my drives, Vista still checks the mark "Index this drive for faster searching"!!?? When I want to uncheck it I get errors on some of the files: Ignore All > it finishes OK and the box is unchecked.
I also looked at the services and the "Indexing Service" has disapeared in Vista (even in full install)! So I can't disable it... (same as the CD/DVD burning service ><)
Anyone knows if what I did is enough to remove the indexing of the system?
Any comment is welcome! Thanks!
Windows Search is the indexing service. You will always get errors when unchecking the indexing service, since some system files are locked, so errors are expected. You may also have to go in and remove the scheduled task that indexes your drives, but normally that goes away when you uncheck index my drives.
As for anoymous_person, Just removing Windows Search does not remove indexing. Windows Vista in Indexed by default, so you must uncheck the box to remove the old indexes.

Hey guys,
Thank you for all the replies.
I'm at work now , but I'll try another burn when I get home.
And not to sound ungrateful, but this is a ton of information, and, um, I was kind of hoping that there would be a consensus on how to go about it.
I'll try to sign in earlier, so we can get some action, er, get this working, tonight.
Kel:
Upgrading to SP2 is the plan, I just wanted to be clear about the baseline.

"Wow! A female using nlite. Is that even possible?? Where are the system requirements? "
My requirements are far more than your system can handle.
Well if you still can not get it to work, this weekend when i get off school i will put together a guide using pictures and text in a step by step basis. It will also include how to add service pack 2, drivers, etc. and ryanvm packs so you do not have to download 200+ hotfixes as soon as you start up.

Avien: Thanks for the heads up - I did not notice the "Advanced" check box. However, I still don't see an option to show or not show "My Computer"! And I don't know what I could have done to make it disappear. I think it must be a bug somehow. No, I did not try tweekui (Thanks for that suggestion too). See below...
>>> Nuhi <<< I re-slipstreamed with minimal stuff changed and My Computer appears. I have detailed, step by step notes in a file of what I did both times, and of course I have the session files on the .iso's, and I have the .iso's. Can I send you any or all of the above? I don't have any place I can post large files... do you have a place I could store them? Or, I will mail you CDs if that is the easiest.
Nuhi may just need your lastsession file. Not 100% though.

So this does in fact work?

Based on your video, Security Center does not do the popups when installing things. That is UAC(User Account Control) found under msconfig/tools. Thought i would let you know.

If you had system restore enabled you could simply go back to a later date. If not you could try recovery console. I tried looking around in my vista for windows components but did not find paint listed. Sorry

I have played around with the services as well, but i would rather not mess with the function of windows just to save 150mb of RAM. 768mb is getting useless now, even with XP

This post is a year old....are you using the new nlite and ryanvm pack?

Did you select advanced mode under the registry tweaks in nlite? You can then make it start windows showing the my computer icon. This would be for future installations though. Have you tried downloading tweakui and trying that?

Found this article about configuring RAID with Virtual PC. Not sure if it does anything, but it might allow you to test to see if the drivers work.

I have a solution to convert your CD to Professional, but i am not sure if i am allowed to post it here.

You could even add updates into the disc, but lets get the drivers working first.

Stupid question, but did you update any of the drivers after you installed the new windows? What all did you integrate into your nlite? Are you using Microsoft Update?

I got a Windows XP SP2 CD down to 400mb. I stripped it of all the languages and keyboards but English/united states. I also went in and disabled hibernate, and system restore. I also set some services to disabled such as search, index, firewall, etc, and SFC to speed up installation. I also added a default workgroup and company, along with a key. The CD is 400mb with RyanVM update pack 2.1.8, addons, directx, and framework 1.1, and 2.0. I also added a 40mb folder called goodies which include a theme and some other stuff.
Haven't tried it yet, but it should work.

I was before I even clicked this topic.
Debby does nLite... no, I think nLite is doing you.
If you want to give the ISO SATA support without a floppy disk,
integrate the Bashrat The Sneaky driverpack "MassStorage"
AFTER you have done whatever you are doing with nLite.
Its really easy slipstreaming Bashrats drivers... don't be shy,
I know you're not, lol...
Download this: BASE
Download this: SATA Driverpack
Extract the BASE. Don't extract the drivers, just put the 7z file, as it is, inside the
"driverpacks" folder that the BASE spits out, then open the BASE program, its all
very easy from then on, just choose all the defaults and tick the "Textmode" box.
Seems to be a lot more work for her. She already downloaded the required drivers off their site and followed everyone else's advice and nlite does a fine job integrating the drivers. Plus wouldn't the driver pack contain massive amounts of drivers that might not be necessary and just add space?

Anyway to make this a installation only action? Or can someone post a way to reenable Windows Protection after you start Windows?

Try this taken from the above "another forum"
First, rename the network drive. Then navigate to...
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2
Your network drive will have its own key something like "##server-name#share-name", right-click the key and get its permissions.
Basically, you want to have it read-only. So, click the "Advanced" button at the bottom of the dialog, and uncheck the "inherit from parent the permissions.." checkbox. In the dialog that follows, choose "Copy", and <ok> that.
Back in main permissions dialog, security (the only) tab, unckeck "full control" for all users (there may be a "RESERVED" user, which has read-only access anyway, leave it as it is.) and <ok> back to the registry editor.
Your mapped drives will now keep their cute names for ever, or at least until you reinstall Windows.EDIT: beaker takes all credit, thought i would just add it here to make it easier to find

Cleaner in the sense that Ryan put everything together in a nice neat installer and there is last chance of this conflicting.
When the installation hangs at 13mins, have you tired exiting the command window, or restarting to computer and see if it continues on faster? If it works, make sure nothing was affect though.

Well i recently reinstalled Vista again for a weird problem. I just downloaded nlite again and ran it and so far i have not gotten an error integrating anything. I think everything relating to errors was my VIA chipset and ethernet drivers. They made it so copying would not work, would always crash and hang, which might be chipset or ethernet related since it affected networks too. Not going to reinstall them though.
here is the thread i started on the via forums.

OK, I've finished the cookies and the download. I know how to eat the cookies, but I don't know how to un-rar the file.
Did you get the drivers to integrate properly?

My current OS installed on my computer is Vista. I am trying to make a new XP CD with all the new ryanvm updates. When i run nlite and start to register components after i add drivers, etc nlite crashes. I have disabled UAC, ran it with admin rights, XP SP2 mode, yet it always crashes.
I need help, since my other computer cant use Vista because of the requirements so i need to make a new nlited XP cd.

I have no user account on my welcome screen, and that is because i only have 1 account and no password setup. So i think windows just bypasses it, even though there is no setting to change it. The user does show up though when i set a password.

nLite Keyboard and Languages removal?
in nLite
Posted
I am pretty sure that it copies all the keyboards to HDD. Seeing as you have tons of keyboards to choose from once you are done installing and running Windows. As for removing the keyboards and languages, i did it and the CD went from 700mb (drivers, ryanvm updatepack, ryanvm addon pack, ryanvm directx, and .net 1.1 and 2.0) down to 400mb with (drivers, ryanvm updatepack, ryanvm addon pack, ryanvm directx, and .net 1.1 and 2.0)
