Hi thanks for quick reply... I went in to options but could not see anything for sort by numerics. I did manage to untick install by category and tick sort within categories which gave numeric then alpha from the file name (see image). Ideally i would prefer that it understood the numerical column but i cannot see the option, it certainly gives the option of numerical sequence in the config tab although you have to manually insert the number. I presume that the Install Order box in config requires numerics ? Just checked it does not allow alpha selection....

I have configured WPI with the programs i would like to install, and constantly saved the config as i added the apps. My problem is that although i saved them in the sorted numerical order before i save and exit the config page, once it goes to the opening screen or re-entering the config screen again it is never what i saved it as. I have installed this to hard drive but it is not in the sequence that i wanted. How do i get the sequence i want as it does not seem to follow a numerical order nor by the looks of it a alpha order either. Attached are screen shots Thanks

Hi, Sorry for re opening this thread. Made a successful new install a few days back. However after visiting update i still had a long way to go namely because of .Net So i decided have a go at integrating .Net well.... I followed this thread and used SNMsynth. It made 4 nice .exe's 11,20.30 and 35 (all good so far). I started up nlite and started again the process of new install files which is XP Pro sp1a qem self build. Pointed it to sp3 and hot fixes as time before and included the new .exe's (x4 .net). Set up un-attended install. Proceeded to make iso, and of went nlite to make new iso. Everything went fine with sp3 and hotfixes, But not with .net part. A splash screen came up to install .net immediately followed by a splash screen error of -q not correct parameter ( i am not sure of the correct terminology used but it was something like it). This happened a further 3 times. Nlite carried on and made the iso. I used the iso and installed it only to find no .net installed, i was not surprised though. It was confirmed by .net verifier. So it leads to the question what did i not do or what have i done wrong. The 4 .exe's work as stand alone installers so all time was not wasted. By the way my SNMsynth did not have upx.exe either i did download it and re run SNMsynth but it did not pack the 4 to 1 if that what its supposed to do. I did not change anything in SNMsynth either, i just used from its default. Attached are some logs. Any help in integrating .net would be very helpful.

@johnhc Thanks for the reply, but i sorted problem before you posted. If you look back at my post's you will see i had done clean rips several times as well as using sp3 integrated ones. Thanks for the reminder about event viewer, i have to admit i forgotten all about it.Just for information purposes i have attached the log, you will see that there are cdrom errors but they were nothing to do with nlite, in fact it was a damaged dvd by the kids that i was trying to salvage regretfully no luck, and it was also well before i started to build a new image of XP. You will also see i had no other cdrom errors. I have a feeling it copied too fast but i have no way of checking other than my ears. As regards your method of cleaning the optical drive I am afraid i don't concur with that nor would I recommend it. As the laser diode is a very sensitive piece of equipment and any scratch or mark from a brush e.t.c can render it useless. The best way and recommended way is to use compressed air you can obtain this in canister form. The above takes me back when i use to copy my kids games for them as they were so expensive to replace,you needed tiptop drives and system as some of the copy protection required a sub channel audio signature. So i do know a little about types of drives, disc's and dyes. Sorry went off topic there.... Regards System_Log.ini

Ok thank you both for your suggestions, Driver.cab was one error the other one was cab.lib I think not sure I was tired. No not a Branded disc just a O.E.M XP Pro sp1a Anyhow I went back and started all over again and got the same error. So I looked at the Driver.cab in the ripped folder and it was 37mb, I then looked at the CD Driver.cab and that was 71mb so I copied it to the ripped folder, i couldn't find the other file. I then started over again and nlite said i had to un-install sp3 and start again so nlite did.... and it worked no errors whoopee, so I guess the other file was in the Driver.cab ? So in essence the copy from CD to folder was not good, no apparent damage on the CD though and I was able to copy the offending .cab What gets me is that sp3 on its own installs fine why does it not pick up the error? and i have no problems with installing. weird eh ? Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick reply, i will attach the .ini for you i hope it helps it was the last one i tried with sp3... If you want i will do it again pre sp3 but it will be the same result. Sorry perhaps i did not make my post very clear... I do not have a problem applying sp3 to the original o.e.m sp1 installation CD. It works perfectly. I only have a problem applying the hot fixes e.t.c to it, regardless of it being modified with sp3 or the original & sp3 at the same time as the hotfixes e.t.c. Please excuse my ignorance but I downloaded this to integrate My link I understood that the hotfixes e.t.c were generic for all xp installations post sp3 ?? Are you saying that it is something in there that is causing it ? LAST SESSION.INI

Hi 1st post Concerning Win XP Pro, A long while back i had success in using nlite and sp3 (from oem sp1 original), but since then there have been some 200+ hotfixes and updates.So i decided to update the install disc. the kids keep screwing the system up. The problem i have is the integration of the hotfixes & updates. I keep getting the error of a corrupt cab file and a couple of others too. Nlite tells me this is serious problem and i should get new disc. Now i have had a bit of a play several times before posting. I started again from the sp1 disc and slipstreamed sp3 and had no errors, I then installed this image to the hard drive with no errors and it was fully automated. So that says to me there was no problems with cab files e.t.c I then down loaded the hotfixes e.t.c from 2 sites (as i have done this more than once). Firstly i tried to integrate them with the sp3 that was already done and got the errors. Next i tried from a fresh set up and still got the errors. I proceeded with the iso to a disc and tried to install, but fraught with errors having to skip files on install (not unattended any more) so i aborted install. Any suggestions please ? Sorry for long 1st post.

Hi joined forum because I am fed up having to do re-installs on the kids self-screwed up P.C's and re-updating them.
