[How do i include new DirectX versions?]

RyanVM's didn't work very well for me so I had to make my own with the /silent switch. It's about 35MBs larger than RyanVMs but it worked as it should. Anyway how did he get that addon so small? Seems like going from a 40 MB redistributable to a 5MB addon there would have to be something missing.

I managed to create a "switchless installer" executable file using the /silent switch and cut the file size by removing the x64 files, but how is this integrated in nLite? I tried integrating it as a hotfix but that didn't work. Any ideas and where I might be going wrong?

EDIT: just discovered this thread:

it pretty much answers my question

[Integrating VB6 KB290887]

Is there a way to integrate the Visual Basic 6 SP6 runtime library as a regular hotfix/add-on in nLite?

I'm using this file to install (from http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/vbrun6.html )

VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe

[textsetup.sif invalid line error]

that's exactly it... the ZIP file does not belong there at all. Sorry for the trouble. I'm building a new installation CD to see if any problems occur.

[textsetup.sif invalid line error]

I've attached the file... thanks for looking into it.

Studioworks_995E.zip

[textsetup.sif invalid line error]

setup was aborted early on due to a line a error in textsetup.sif (line 9939)

The line in question is

lg_monitor_driver_crt&flatron[1].zip = 2000,,,,,,,2000,0,0

to give some context, this is where it appears:

[sourceDisksFiles.x86]

2gmgsmt.sf2 = 1,,,,,,,,3,3

3cwmcru.sys = 1,,,,,,,,3,3

[200 lines later]

lg995e.icm = 2000,,,,,,,2000,0,0

lg995e.icm = 2001,,,,,,,2001,0,0

lg_monitor_driver_crt&flatron[1].zip = 2000,,,,,,,2000,0,0

lgmnt.cat = 2000,,,,,,,2000,0,0

lgmnt.inf = 2000,,,,,,,2000,0,0

I was integrating hotfixes and drivers into a Window XP Pro SP2 VLK, I'm going to try again, but this time I'll leave the particular driver out. I used to include it in my Win2000Pro VLK installation, but perhaps WinXP doesn't need it? Either way... what's causing the line error? is it a syntax issue or the driver?

thank you, as always any insight would be appreciated.

what is meant by "regular integration" here?

has anyone else experienced this warning... with this hotfix?

should I just shelve this hotfix and install it once Windows is up and running?

any help would be appreciate.
