Tribble

good to see that topic here, so i dont need to start another one is it possible to autologin with "Administrator" Account on first boot and on all followings, with a special password and without using winnt.sif? And is it possible to skip the creation of an admin account on first boot? or is that this oobe thingie (which i already disabled now) ? thx for ur help

it adds a checksum to the file which windows setup checks for. if it's a 'protected' OS file and the checksum doesn't match, setup will fail. so where does it get the checksum from? i mean how does it know what the checksum should be? and this digital signature has nothing to do with WHQL, right? Because i would wonder then why all the new betas of drivers etc. has no digital signature, when its so easy to 'add'. a driver which has whql always looks nicer for peoples than a driver without one.

i know how to apply it having just 2 posts here, doesnt mean im a noob ;p was just interesting what modifype does actually. so what does it with the checksum? updates says nothing

reading through the whole nLite Thread atm, stressing found "-winnt.sif is only copied if there is none, it will not overwrite yours It's needed because you can get some unsigned drivers questions if there is no line to ignore driver signature,..." im at work atm, when im back home i will give that a try, not sure if there was any winnt.sif on my xpcd. @bucketbuster's thank you, already read that thread but didnt noticed yet what modifype was for. finally got it, nice tool does anybody have more informations about modifype, how it works ? tried google but doesnt give much informations at all, just that it manipulate the header of pe executables. edit: "A PE utility that can add/delete physical/virtual space in any PE file. It can also realign your sections to make the files smaller. Source code included. Written in NASM." but how does it get winxp to think the file has signature in this way? the question should be now what actually a driver signature is, i always thought its some special header in a file or something?

"Added automatic hacking of syssetup.dll for OOBE disabling (if you choose to remove it, this will not crack Activation)." Doing this on a German SP2 RC1 CD will setup in text-mode cause to not copy syssetup.dll because of missing signature. Wonder how to remove that 'pit-stop' ? Have to press ESC to continue with setup. This was the only error message i got during text-mode setup while copying the files to the harddisk. In windows-based setup no problems at all. Very nice tool, great work ! Waiting for more Updates Reduced my XP from ~500mb to ~180mb BTW the download-link seems broken now. No wonder, after 100's of news pages reported about nLite which caused a lot of bandwidth b/c everybody linked to the same page. Seems someone removed the file now from the server
