I do not believe it! Its that simple! Haha, John, sir you are a genius thank you VERY much Soa ll i do to stop it going read only is to add that to the RunOnce? How would i go about using copy or xcopy? With a .bat? Myles

John, I just tried with your INI and it failed AGAIN > I will now try removing the $Docs folder and see how it gets on, Myles

Hi John, I found the compressed version allright, All i do is once nlite is on the "Make ISO" screen and it says Explore ISO, I copy and paste my $Docs folder into the $OEM$ folder then click Make ISO, I then just use the ISO in VMWare to install XP, I am currently running the ISO with your exact settings (Had to remove the runonce stuff) If it doesnt succeed this time i will remove $Docs and then install that way with some components removed to see if it works, Myles

Hi Guys, Bit of a PITA this but my problem is that i ALWAYS use FF for everything, This is the only site i have ever come across that i cannot sign in on FF i am only allowed to do it in IE, I have tried all different version etc with no luck, Is this deliberate or a bug? Kind Regards, Myles

Hi John, Nothing private in this ISO at all, All my goal is to have the most crap stripped out of it as is possible and get it to run PiFast as it will only be used for 2D benchmarking Here is my cmdlines which i have left untouched: No idea what its telling it to do though? Whatever it does the nlite.inf is DEFINATLY initialized as the services i have specified in the past ISOs are disabled on boot with the exact same cmdlines Here is my $OEM$ Folders, All it does is adds a folder to Desktop on All Users called "Benches" with a number of other folders with programs inside them one of them being PiFast all others operate fine however, Myles

Thanks John. The one that worked doesnt have an INI, Just a straight ISO generated with nlite with nothing taken or added, Could it be that im inserting an $OEM$ folder and its not installing other things while it copies the files to the desktop as i have it set up to do? I have OEM PreInstall enabled Myles

Hi Jogn, Okay so if those two arent the problem im beat, There is absolutely no difference in any way except for the Fully Automatic and SFC. Started with a brand new ISO and everything, It seems that nlite once fully auto is enabled it breaks something, Can you post up your INI please? Myles

Hi John, Yeah i mean Fully Automatic, license key etc inserted, That is the Last Session i just attached, as you can see nothing has been added or removed all i did was enable Fullt Automatic, Thats what i thought it shouldnt remove anything unless i tell it to, is it because i disabled SFC in the "Components" section? I dont wee why this would effect the install, Myles

Hi John, I will try the same as your config, I have just tried the Autoinstall i always use and it did not work even with EVERYTHING left alone, so it seems that using the autoinstall method cuts out the installation of several system32 dll files needed to run the program. I will try and cut out the keyboards and languages and leave it on manual install and see what happens? Attached is my newest INI, Also one more thing that really bugs me, this site wont let me sign in in firefox but only in IE... Is this on purpose or just a concidence? Myles LAST SESSION.INI

Did as you said John and it works, But it seems to lie in that if i remove anything prom acessories/keyboard/languages It deletes DLLs from system32 that PiFast relies on? is there any way to protect those dlls from deletion with nlite? Myles

Actually, here is my DW when profiled Myles

Hmm thats probably because you are running x64 XP i suspect and this is a designed for x86 program? Myles

I used dependancy walker on both the original ISO and the nlite'd one already and i got no errors, Where did you see that error in dependancy walker? Regards, Myles

Hi John, Yeah it ran perfect on yours it may be the .net, C++ or MSXML Thats no pass just means it doesnt ask for a password and is blank, might the fully automated install stop it installing some components? I dont see why it would, Myles EDIT: Attached is the last session and last session_u LAST SESSION.INI

Hi John, Just tried under XP and EXACTLY the same problem, I would apprecciate it anyone else has used nlite to create an ISO would create a virtual machine and test out PiFast on their installaion: http://pifast.hexus.net/hexus_pifast.zip I really dont get it So strange, Its like its looking for a library that isnt there?
