I'll join the chorus of disagreement, integrating storage drivers is perhaps the most important option, on many systems doing so is the only way XP x64 can be installed.
-
Sorry but Windows (especially pre Win7) installations generally can't be transferred between systems with different chipsets, it's not like you're just changing the video card where Windows can fall back to a base VESA VGA implementation. This especially applies to storage device drivers which is the first thing that Windows needs in order to load itself, for instance with the old DriverPacks Mass Storage drivers were only ones that needed to be integrated into the textmode step. Note that things are different with Linux distributions which typically can be transferred between systems but that is due to both a radically different type of kernel implementation and by already having the needed drivers integrated.
-
You're generally asking for trouble doing multiple passes on an .iso, while not guaranteeing issues you're increasing their likelihood. By the sound of it, at the moment you have a CD that takes a minute (two at the most) longer to load for the first time only BUT is compatible with far more systems. Just so it's clear, extra SATA drivers integrated into the install CD will not lead to any extra bloat on a new system as any such drivers that are not needed will not be installed.

I can certainly tell you there won't be a 64-bit version of Windows 2000, that would require a near complete reworking of the code base. There is a 64-bit version of Windows XP, which effectively is Server 2003 with the server extensions ripped out and a few consumer items added. It was/is quite stable with the only real limitation being that not all manufacturers provided device drivers for their products.

I take it that you are referring to NTlite and not nLite ? Then the answer is yes, nLite is for the NT 5.x (2K-XP-2003) series and NTlite is for NT 6+ (Vista onwards) but I personally have only ran it on a Windows 10 host in order to create a fully updated Windows 7 install disc.
-
The only restriction is that it CANNOT successfully integrate a service pack for XP when running on a Windows 7 host, it has to be running on a NT 5.x (2K-XP-2003) host in order to do that.

There's no point in copying my own personal places.sqlite across as I'm asking in order to fix one of the minor bugs in this guide: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=277041 (the major bug is that certain Host CPUs don't like Windows 98se VMs) I'm using base KernelEx 4.5.2 with the updates from this reply: I won't have much time to test until the weekend.

Unfortunately using RoyTam's loader didn't help, nor did adding RaiseException=v4 to the Kernel32.dll section of kstubs24.ini Oh well, it's hardly a big deal, just a tad annoying.

Strange, when Firefox regenerates it on my system it comes in at 32,768 bytes. However, I don't get a history.
-
OK, it looks like the problem is caused by places.sqlite, if I delete that file from the profile folder, the issue goes away. It seems quite large for a history file (10MB), seeing as Firefox should not have really done anything yet. I take it you don't see any issue in removing it and letting Firefox create a new version?
-
I've got a weird effect in that when I use the portable version of Firefox 38 (from the 1st post) it always crashes on exit but otherwise works fine. However if I use the non-portable version that it calls and is packaged with, there is no crash on exit, is this expected behaviour or is there something else I have to do?
