sword_zero001, how much memory and how big is the partition you are using? Also, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

Sp0iLedBrAt, please attach your Last Session and we'll take a look. Enjoy, John.

AGlobalThreatsK, we will take a look, so, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John. Wondering: is a USB serial port different than a USB?

Great, 5eraph! I was hoping you would help direx, but certainly did not want to volunteer your services. Thanks, John.

direx, I suggest you DL 5eraph's Slipstream AddOn, extract it and replace the appropriate files and make the appropriate changes, then 7-Zip it back into a valid AddOn. Enjoy, John.

Jerry N, to change your boot drive requires editing your BIOS. I know of no nLite options to specify the drive letter or boot order in nLite. There have been discussions here some time ago about drive letter assignment, so searching might be useful. Good luck, John.

crevettehj, I suspect you have run nLite more than once against the same source, so, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Also post the BSOD error code. Enjoy, John.

rosswilson, I need a review. Are you still getting the key rejected? What do you mean by? If you are getting a BSOD, or hang, please let us know. If it is a BSOD, post the code. If it is a 07B, then you have text mode driver problems. Are you sure you have the correct driver? I see you only have one driver. Are your RAID drives attached to a SATA controller? If so, you may need SATA drivers as well as RAID drivers. My current system requires both drivers and when I have had problems loading text more drivers, Setup proceeded for some time before it crashed. Good luck, John.

snooppy38, please post a link to where you found this information. I am not familiar with this at all. If you will go to your SUPPORT folder (source CD) and expand a file called DEPLOY.CAB you will find a file called deploy.chm. It is a help file for winnt.sif and other Unattended files and methods. I found information about Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment), which is apparently what you are looking at. It talked about a file called winbom.ini, which I do not have in my Windows source folder. After nLite runs, but before you make an ISO or burn a CD/DVD, you can edit the winnt.sif file. I do so to change the network adapter for my VM. A virtual system is a great way to test these kinds of things. VirtualPC, VirtualBox and VMware Server are all free. I use VMware Server and can do an install (XP x64) in less than 15 minutes and burn no CD. Does it help for me to run this through Google translate for French? Enjoy, John. snooppy38, s'il vous plaît envoyer un lien vers où vous avez trouvé cette information. Je ne connais pas du tout. Si vous allez à votre dossier Support (source CD) et développer un fichier appelé DEPLOY.CAB vous trouverez un fichier appelé Deploy.chm. Il s'agit d'un fichier d'aide pour les sans assistance Winnt.sif et d'autres fichiers et les méthodes. J'ai trouvé d'informations sur Windows PE (préinstallation Environnement), qui est apparemment ce que vous regardez. Il a parlé d'un fichier Winbom.ini, que je n'ai pas dans mon dossier source Windows. Après nLite fonctionne, mais avant de faire de l'ISO ou de graver un CD / DVD, vous pouvez éditer le fichier Winnt.sif. Je le fais pour changer la carte réseau de ma VM. Un système virtuel est un excellent moyen de tester ce genre de choses. VirtualPC, VirtualBox et VMware Server sont tous gratuits. J'utilise VMware Server et peut faire une installation (XP x64) en moins de 15 minutes et ne brûlent pas de CD. T-il pour moi d'aider à exécuter par le biais de Google pour traduire en français? Enjoy, John.

snooppy38, sorry I do not understand the question. It looks like you used Google Translate and it did not do a very good job. NLite does not create partitions. You can use a separate partitioning program or Windows Setup (Install) will do it. Windows install will only format the partition where you are installing your OS. I hope this is what you are asking. If not, please ask again. Enjoy, John. snooppy38, désolé, je ne comprends pas la question. Il semble que vous avez utilisé Google Translate et qu'elle n'a pas fait un très bon travail. NLite ne crée pas de partitions. Vous pouvez utiliser un programme de partitionnement ou de l'installation de Windows (Installation) va faire. Windows installer uniquement le format de la partition où vous installez votre OS. J'espère que c'est ce que vous demandez. Si non, s'il vous plaît demander à nouveau. Enjoy, John.

rosswilson, the real question is, does the key go with the CD? An OEM key will not work on a Retail CD and vice versa. The MS EULA says that you can install an OEM version of Windows one and only one machine. MS collects HW information at activation time, and if you try to activate it on significantly different HW, MS will not allow it. They do allow for changes over time - a CPU change here, a HDD change there, etc. This should not prevent your key from working during install. I use the same key on my VM as is on my HW, but will never try to activate it. Please let us hear. John.

rosswilson, I failed to report that I see nothing in your Last Session that could cause any problems, assuming you are doing all your work in one nLite session. What (if any) SP does your CD contain? What is the CD label? You can see this by inserting your CD in your drive and double clicking My Computer. If you insert your key when asked for it during install, does install proceed? Are you sure the Key on the CD label is identical to the Key you are using? I am out of ideas at this time but curious why you purchased a Retail CD for a new build. I use OEM CDs for my builds - cheaper. Enjoy, John.

rosswilson, the quote is from your original post. What do you mean by 'the original MS CD'? Did this CD come with a computer? Perhaps you are just replacing the MB? What kind of key do you have? Did it come with your computer? OEM keys will not work with retail CDs and vice versa. If you are not sure if your key is OEM or Retail, try Googling the first 5 (only) characters and see if it will tell you. Please let us know. Enjoy, John.

nik, you must correct this first. The forum rules (see top of page) do not allow discussion of warez. If you are not sure, then you probably have obtained an illegal copy of Windows. These will always be suspect and may contain all kinds of bad stuff. You need to start with a genuine copy of Windows with a legal key. If you are adding text mode drivers (have a txtsetup.oem file), you must answer 'text mode'. Please let us know when you obtain a valid copy of Windows and a valid key. Enjoy, John.

PollieXmas, please post screen shots of a Windows Explorer view from the recovery CD you created and the recovery partition you have saved. This sounds like a very tough problem, but we can take a look. Enjoy, John.

rosswilson, each time you run nLite it loads a Last Session unless you have unchecked this option. This mechanism remembers all your settings, but allows you to change them all as needed. Be sure you have checked your key carefully to be sure there is not a fat finger in the mix. A fast format should be fine - all I ever use on my VM. The Last Session is the starting point for trying to get at these problems. It is also important that you have the correct kind of key to go with your CD. Please look in your source file SETUPP.INI and post the Pid value and tell us what kind of CD you have - OEM, Retail, Recovery, etc. Enjoy, John.

asecasp, WMP11 Slipstreamer is automatically called my nLite now. You just need to have it installed on your system and place the WMP11 installed into your Hot Fix section. There are slipstreamed AddOns available for IE8 (see AddOns sub forum above), but probably not in Español. You could, however, DL the AddOn in English and convert it to Español. I think we need to live with what is available for awhile. Please post on the vLite forum for your Vista questions. Enjoy, John.

rick456, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

rosswilson, your attempt with the XP Home system should have worked, assuming your key and Windows version are compatible. Both need to be OEM or both Retail, etc. Using Vista will probably work if you do not integrate an SP. I'm not sure what your are asking here, but the answer is no. The media does not matter. In fact, I use a virtual system and boot from an ISO file. VirtualPC, VirtualBox and VMware Server are free and best for testing builds. I can do an install of my XP x64 in less than 15 minutes and create no coasters. So, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

From Google translate:I wonder when will a new version of nLite and vLite or if the project is stalled or is going on with these and use this constantly. Thank you very much for everything. asecasp, there are a number of threads discussing this. The author/owner, nuhi, has taken a breather and there is no updates expected any time soon. If you have a problem, please post it and we will try to help you. If you will go to Google translate and present your questions in English, you are much more likely to get a response. Why do you think nLite needs an update? Enjoy, John. asecasp, hay una serie de hilos discutir esto. El autor o propietario, nuhi, ha tomado un respiro y no hay actualizaciones de espera en un futuro próximo. Si usted tiene un problema, por favor, puesto que y trataremos de ayudarle. Si va a ir traductor Google y presentar sus preguntas en Inglés, que tienen muchas más probabilidades de obtener una respuesta. ¿Por qué crees que nLite necesita una actualización? Disfrute, John.

nik, have you built an ISO without the .NET and following the following? Please make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

boooggy, question: Why is there a copy of WMP11Slipstreamer.exe in the nLite folder? Thanks, John.

I would like to have a tweak that would cause IE8 to always show the "Find on this page..." bar. Searching has found no solution. Thanks much, John.

Kurt_Aust, I agree with your delay. I certainly will not install it on my real machine. I also agree with all your other comments! Do like their product, though. Enjoy, John.

Kurt_Aust, I just DLed what I thought was CIS 507, but it turned out to be 509. It installs and seems to run OK on my VM. See here. Specifics: Size: 73.7 MB (77,369,632 bytes) - Size on DL site is wrong! MD5: 70db4a9cae82387c0e23cfeffe34d62b SHA1: 82490b8dc390cc76d8a2c59581cc127ebebd516e It's supposed to fix BSODs. Enjoy, John.
