i'm in the process of creating an nlite cd for my HTPC. round 1, add service pack 2, hotfixes, all ok round 2, add drivers, ok except for sound card ok i'll do it manually round 3, remove components, choose lite from preset, leave uk keyboard and uk langauage, also uncheck ALL drivers and hardware support. but still by doing this i end up with a driver missing in device manager details are In Keyboards on a normal XP build i have API Generic USB K/B MS eHome Remote Control Keyboard Keys yet with nlite i have API Generic USB K/B MS eHome Remote Control Keyboard Keys MS eHome MCIR Keyboard unknown device I dont get why the nlite version installs the MCIR keyboard which i dont yet own and whats the other device its trying to install........its definately to do with the MCE Remote because if i unplug it the unknown device disappears. Only thoughts at present is that Ryans Rollup bundle includes the eHome drivers and its kicking off as i dont have the keyboard, if this is the case can i a single hotfix be removed from the bundle? btw the remote works but i dont like the idea of my system calling for a driver and it not finding it :-s. Any help would be great as this is really bugging me.
