Nope. Doesn't work. It DOES copy the IE7.exe system drive using $oem$, but, it does not install. Further more, even if I navigate to the system drive and manually execute the exe, it still doesn't run. Just shows a hourglass for a second, then nothing.

That's exactly what I did. I copied my XP Profressional OEM cd (label: VRMPOEM_EN) to a folder on my hard drive, downloaded the IE7 add-on, downloaded nLite 1.2RC, chose the Hotfix and Boot Image options. Integrated ONLY the IE7 add-on, installed in VMware, and ... IE6. :|

So what you guys are saying is that this add-on is only good for volume or pirate copies? So since I have a legit copy of XP Professional OEM, I can't use this.

Is it possible to release the final version on monday? I'm available monday.

There is no reference per say to the KB in the list of ULs because a UL contains multiple KBs within it.

Pfoof! I can post again! I was starting to think IE 7 was to blame!

Capricorn... nice reference. 1 post. Yea, ok.

Just tried it again using ONLY the ie7.cab in the hotfix section. Nothing. Not working still... Going to keep trying to figure it out.

I won't be so courteous about it. retox, you're an id***. You've come to the wrong place to insult nuhi. I respect and will stand to defend nuhi anytime.

nuhi?

If you have no hardware problem, then check your drivers, run SFC and windows updates. If you still have problems, then perhaps your windows installation is corrupt.

99% of all BSOD are hardware related. Check your hardware. 1) Check your CPU fan and heatsink for proper ventilation (dust-free and turning freely) 2) Run a memtest 3) Chkdsk your hard drive 4) Run your hard drive's manufacturer's diagnostics on your hard drive 5) Check your power supply

Then why are you running Windows XP? Did you look at the design specs for Windows XP? You know, again, I re-iterate what I said before. More performance comes from upgrading, not disabling services. You don't run Windows XP on a 256MB of Ram, you shouldn't even on 512MB. XP is greedy when it comes to system resources, and that's by design, hence why I recommend to all my clients 512MB as a minimum but 1GB as standard. Also, often neglegted is the hard drive speed. A lot of delays comes from waiting for the hard drive to find and/or load data. If the load that Windows XP puts on your hardware with a default installation is a concern, then you shouldn't be using XP, you should be using Windows 98 SE. And tweaking, in general, is a very vast word. I specifically referred to act of disabling services. There are some forms of "tweaking" that are just maintenance. Constant defragmentation and eliminating most unneeded startup programs (3rd party) is usually sufficient "tweaking" to speed up any computer. But I don't consider disabling Windows XP's default services as tweaking, I concider that crippling more then anything else.

The following registry settings would be very useful in a future version of nLite... would you take it into consideration nuhi? Prevents IE from saving zone information (stops that damned dialog that pops up when you open a file that was downloaded from the internet)! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Attachments] "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001 Allows the use of http://username@password:www.address.com/ in the URL (also useful for FTP in IE/Explorer). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE] "iexplore.exe"=dword:00000001 "explorer.exe"=dword:00000001 Prevents computer from becoming a master browser on the network. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters] "MaintainServerList"="No" Turn off Security Center warning popup balloons. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "FirstRunDisabled"=dword:00000001 "AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 "FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 "UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

Negative. Still doesn't work. Here's my LAST_SESSION.INI and my WINNT.SIF from the installation. LAST_SESSION.INI WINNT.SIF

Never tried the application add-ons for nLite. This is my first. So I included the IE 7 add-on using nLite 1.2RC during the hotfix integration stage as explain in the forum. I tested it in VMware, nothing. Still IE 6. I checked the SVCPACK folder, it is there... don't know what's going on.

Does not install. :|

You know what amazes me... people that spend hours fiddling with services. It's a complete waste of time, the only thing it does is reduce functionality. When people mess around with services, I picture them buying car then opening up the hood and throwing away different parts. The logic goes like this: "Airbag Computer? Hell, I don't need the computer as long as I keep the airbags installed." *rips it out* "Oh ABS Controller? I dunno what that is, I guess it's not important." *rips it out* "I need more space for gas!" *rips out rear seats and expands gas tank to fill now available space* "Well, I only brake 1% of the distance I travel when I drive, so I could go without brakes." *rips out brake calipers, discs, pads, shoes, drums, brake lines, master cylinder, brake booster, brake panel and emergency brake* And the story goes on until the person has a car with no doors, no trunk or hood, no parts. It's basically an engine, four wheels (what's left of them), a steering wheel, a cardboard box to sit on and a huge gas tank. But that's okay, even though the car has lost all functionality, is no longer road-safe, is limited to perform one function, as uncomfortable as hell, the user is happy. Why? Because the car can drive 300MPH for 4000 miles using 2 liters of gas and a 3 cylinder geo-metro engine. That is the logic of messing with services. The best windows installation is one with all services left intact running on good hardware. My computer is faster then 90% of people's computers based simply on the fact that instead of tweaking in windows, I upgrade my hardware. If you want performance, stop trying these damned miracle tweaks and make some real changes. Upgrade.

Anyone know how to integrate it at all? Even by hand?

Indeed, I moved all the updates to D:\XP-UPD and I move the XP cd to D:\XP-FR and everything worked wonderfully. Thanks.

It will only find those updates that are already download if you point to the same download location using the same options as you download. IE, if you download to C:\UPDATES using the Categories as subfolders and Products as subfolders options, those both have to be checked and the download location has to be C:\UPDATES for it to find what you previously downloaded. Make sense?

Try uninstalling WUD completely, then go to C:\Program Files\ and remove the entire Windows Updates Downloader folder. Next, open RegEdit and check to make sure that there is nothing left in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Supremus Corporation]. Re-install using the latest version of WUD, build 724. Let me know how that goes.

Right, I get what you mean. Well, in a way, this is by design. The color indicators do tell you if the file already exists, but it would be bad design to stop you from re-downloading it a second time if you really wanted to.

Posted on wud's homepage. Thanks.

I get an "H-Access to the path is denied." error with nLite 1.2 RC while integrating hotfix KB887472 into a Windows XP x86 FRA (French) VLK disc. Included is my last_session.ini file. Last_Session.ini
