The image I used I downloaded directly from Microsoft and I'm using a legal corporate product key. Microsoft offered images with and without SP2 already integrated. I selected the image that already had SP2 integrated.

Thanks johnhc. Sorry about the . I did the tags manually and simply forgot the closing tag that you mentioned.I started with an .ISO image from Microsoft that already had SP2 integrated. I didn't make any non-nLite changes to the image. I'll create another image using the same options but with either OEM Preinstall set to enabled or TEMP set as the normal value. I think that nLite said that having OEM Preinstall set to on prevented use of third-party drivers during the install process (eg having a SATA driver on a floppy) and I didn't see that I myself had a need for OEM Preinstall so I didn't enable it. Think I'll install VirtualBox or similar. Might make this easier to test. oh and the x86-64 thing. What Microsoft did referring to 32-bit x86 as x86 and 64-bit x86 as x64 is a bit odd. I remember years ago reading a post by linus torvalds where he asserted, I think, that x86-64 was the appropriate convention for the 64-bit superset of the x86 architecture, which was first called AMD64. Let me look this up. Ah, here we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/2/23/139 http://kerneltrap.org/node/2466 I'm obviously a bit bored right now. Except for the overwhelming amount of real work that I need to do right now.

Hello. I've recently used nLite to create a custom build for WinXP x86-64 w/SP2 integrated VL install. %windir%\security\logs\scesetup.log http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dckc7wcb_0r5wtjdg8 LAST_SESSION.INI from WinXP SP2 x86-64 install build #3: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dckc7wcb_1ctc8b3f5 LAST SESSION_U.INI from WinXP SP2 x86-64 install build #3: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dckc7wcb_2gt4tzbgr WINNT.SIF from WinXP SP2 x86-64 install build #3: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dckc7wcb_3sxqm79hp Everything seems to work well except for two things: "Program Files(x86) and "Program Files (x86)(x86)" folders were created. But this isn't the topic of this thread. During both the install process and also when installing things like Adobe Flash, I get a dialog box that says "The driver software you are installing has not been properly signed with Authenticode" with the reason "the parameter is incorrect." A quick google search shows very few hits on this error. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I didn't disable any services or components, but I did change paths and UI settings. I've created other images as well that didn't have this problem. The one difference in this build (which I call build 3) that I remember is that I specified an alternative TEMP folder which is listed in WINNT.SIF as this: temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Temp I also noticed that the file %windir%\security\logs\scesetup.log has a lot of warnings listed as follows: "Warning 2: The system cannot find the file specified." Do others get these same warnings in the same frequency? I checked another system and it has a couple of these warnings but not nearly the number on this x86-64 system. Thanks.

I'll do that. Thanks.

This doesn't seem to be fixed. It would be really nice if it were fixed in a future version though. At least I had a chance to fix the registry values myself before installing programs. Netmeeting is in one of those bad folders, though.
