Hello, I'm new here, and I'm having a slight problem with following this tutorial.
I mount the .wim and follow all specified directions, remove and add what I care to do, etc. When I am finished and choose to unmount it does not do anything. Perhaps I am not patient enough (I've waited at least five minutes each time) for it to do its task, but I don't make too many changes and your tutorial says it should not take long.
Thanks in advance.
Select "commit" Make sure you select (click on the) image you mounted, and then click unmount.

I removed everything. It was just a test install to see how Server 2008 would perform on my computer's specs so I know if I could run it or not.
No wonder it failed. Thats why NEVER remove everything from server or else it will fail. Server is different compare to vista when it comes to vlite. Removing certain components causes server not to install. Even if you dont remove too many components and succesfully install it, then server "add features and add roles" will fail to install its features or roles as well. Only 3 or 4 components can be removed safely.
btw when vliting server, vlite gives you a warning when you select "componenets" something like this, "removing components can break add features"
My advice is, do not remove anything if your planning to use server features, as server is not bloated compare to vista, you can remove certain stuffs and it will work fine, but might cause problems later. Tweaking server with vlite is safe.
How many features is removed and whatnot has absolutely nothing to do with that the file copy part fails.
The disc has most certainly been badly burned, burn a new one at slower speed.
Do not give advice or such if you don't know what you are talking about.
I know exactly what am talking about. I have vlited server countless times for testing to see how it works and its "add features and roles" function, if you do remove everything then server fails to install. If you remove few components then server installs fine, but "add features" break, only few items can be removed without loss of server add features functionality
And yes, the high speed (bad) burn disc can also be an issue as well
No, you are wrong. Please don't give advice based on your obviously lacking knowledge.
I do not use Vlite, but I'm pretty sure Nuhi didn't give support for 2008 server if it will not install when removing all components.
Me and Nuhi have had our differences, but I know he sits on that much of knowledge anyway...
In any scenario, failing file copy stage has absolutely nothing to do with capability to install, and have no relation whatsoever with removed components.
You boot from boot.wim which is loaded in memory, then the files from install.wim gets extracted to HD. After file copy to HD is done your system reboots and then your installation continous from extracted files. The only files you are altering with Vlite is the ones residing in the install.wim image. So I hope you can now see, that if file copy fails it has nothing to do with components removed.
Instead of simply base your 'knowledge' on results from clicking vlite buttons, do some reading and try to understand what is going on in the system.
I runned into same problem as above, "server 2008 failed to install". Reason was because i also did remove everything with vlite, and server setup failed. Thats why i said, i know what am talking about. Maybe you should try testing server and remove everything with vlite, to see it for yourself.
Maybe you do have more experience than me in many things, but you can't master everything in computing, and sometimes some people with less experience than you can know more things than you in a particular topic.
Sorry don't mean to be rude here
EDIT: Yes you were right, the filecopy (expanding files) has got nothing to do with component removal (even i knew that), its main cause was badly burned cd. Just vlited and tested again BUT this time burned it at a low speed, (before i was burning cd at a very high speed), thats were i got the same problem as above, and gave wrong advice. So yes you were right

I think thats a very good feature request. I have many HDD drives, and my hotfixes, drivers, languages, etc. are stored very deep inside folders (just to keep it neat and tidy) so a feature like this will definitely make things so much easier as i use vlite alot
Also another feature i would love to see if possible, is to add programs (addons) will be great, as am still waiting for this particular feature but never requested before.

Before you bought Vista, you should have researched it a little more and you would have probably found that it's not really that good. It's up there with Windows ME which was short lived. If your a gamer, I would recommend sticking with Windows XP as you said, the games run faster. Or you could have put your $300 toward a game console that's intended for gaming (like Xbox 360, PS3, Wii)
As for MS Waiting 5-6 years, I think it's better they focus their energies into a better OS! Instead of taking all the negative feedback and trying to patch Vista, They can start clean and build in all the improvements from the ground up.
Windows ME came out in 2000 and was replaced by Windows XP in 2001. Windows XP took 2-3 years to become usable by my standards and works fine today. But I thing Vista is following Windows ME's footsteps, that's why MS is working on Windows 7.
I totally agree

ok i got the hang of this now thank you for a great tut 10/10 but i need to know what files to modify for logon and bootscreen basically what im trying to do is make a ultimate vista with custom themes, programs, boot screen, logon, etc i am hoping to get it done soon so i can upload it and share with everyone and one more thing how can i change the installer interface? if anyone can upload some files i would very very much appreciate it
Read Forum Rules, you can't upload your custom made vista or anything, as its ILLEGAL and against forum rules...THIS IS NOT A WAREZ SITE!!!

When using a new or even old version of vlite, its ALWAYS recommended to use a clean vista source, otherwise these problems very unlikely, but can occur

Thank you, however, I want DP Finisher to install first because it pulls apps from the network. If it doesn't have network drivers installed I won't be able to install the apps.
Simple, Put this first , before your other apps command
eg.
@echo off
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\xxxxxxx
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\xxxxxxxxx
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\xxxxxxxxxx
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\xxxxxx

(1) How is this done. Is it done in Notepad or some other way and do I need to include any other code for the complete batch file?
Yes it done in notepad. But when it comes to saving, use "save as" option and save it with the extension "bat"
(2) How would I add this batch file to nLite, is it still through the Unattended-RunOnce or is added some other way.I prefer my way, which is the through GuiRunOnce by editing the "winnt.sif" file.
Open "winnt.sif" with notepad, and add this (winnt.sif file is inside folder i386)
[GuiRunOnce]
%SystemDrive%\xxxxx.batNote:
In your bat file add this at the end
del %0
This will delete your bat file from HDD as well when its finish running your commands
In order to do it this way you need to create a new folder in your xp cd.
Create a new folder and name it $OEM$, and inside this folder create another new folder and name it $1, thats where you must put your bat file in order for it to work
eg.
@echo off
del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*VLC media player.lnk"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Eset\"
del %0On xp there are many ways of running bat files, but thats the way i prefer and i do it
Good Luck!

Updated installer pack. Fixed a major bug

I dont know if it can be done by a reg file, never tried it, But i do it with a bat file.
For deleting a shortcut link :
del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*VLC media player.lnk"
For deleting a directory or folder in start menu:
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Eset\"

Vista Mizer
in nLite
Hey did you try "V'ISO" by ricktendo
Its an awesome transformer. It transformS xp to proper vista look, with icons and animations. (It sliptreams all icons and animations including boot and logon stuffs straight to your XP cd/dvd, so out of the box you will have vista look and feel)

To find out which codec its using in MPC, just right click when the video is playing, and then choose "filters" it will show you what codec its using.
You can use ffdshow, but remember, if your video card has "dxva" (video acceleration) then ffdshow will not use it (it can't use it). Ms mpeg2 codec uses dxva if available to provide more smooth and better video playback.
i recommend you download "k-lite codec" and ONLY install cyberlink mpeg2 codec from that pack, Its the best mpeg2 codec out there

Try the new version of vlite v1.2 beta, there is a new feature in tweaks section, "SERVICES" here you can disable many services.

I have a video that when opened in WMP11 (with Vista's MPEG2 codec), there is no video, only sound.
I thought it was a problem with VCP so I sent the file to Shark007 and he told me that the video plays fine for him.
If I use ffdshow to play the file, then it plays fine (video). Thus the problem is with Vista's MPEG2 codec.
It could be a problem with WMP11 as well. anyways the best way to find out is by playing this video file in media player classic and configure to use Microsoft mpeg2 codec to see if it plays there. if it does play then its WMP11 problem, and if does not play then, ms mpeg2 codec.
btw i did register mpg2splt.ax and mpeg2data.ax, and it registered succesfully.
let me know, as i did have a similar problems to yours in the past, and managed to fix it (can't remeber exactly how i fixed it, as i messed about alot to get it working)

what is the exact problem your having? can you play mpeg2 videos?

What component (or preferably file) is needed for Vista's MPEG2 codec?
"mpg2splt.ax" and "Mpeg2Data.ax" these are the mpeg2 file.
I dont think removing any components removes, mpeg2 codec (i have removed almost all components and still mpeg2 worked)

Because Windows Vista is Windows Millenium Edition Reloaded :)
