Hello All, This is my first post. I used nLite to make 158MB Windows XP installation CD for 324 PCs I installed for our customer. But I wanted to make a CD of my own with tweaks, and fully customized installation screen. I have read through almost all of the forum topics to make my dream come true. You guys have done a wonderful job. But I would like to tell you, what happened when i tried the tricks. 1. A custom installation screen that works only during an upgrade using WINNT32.EXE. During DOS based setup, it says, WINNTBBU.DLL was not copied correctly. I say skip, but the background becomes, black during GUI installation. I have the following files in my i386 folder - WINNT32A.DLL, WINNT32U.DLL, WINNTBBA.DLL, WINNTBBU.DLL. I edited WINNTBBU.DLL. I also tried making it *.DL_ file using 'makecab' but no use. Anyone could help? 2. I tried running applications from CD using the method described in this forum, but it is continuously giving me 'file not found'. I think it is not checking my CD drive. 3. I tried using winnt.sif. I used microsoft's reference file from System Manager folder and added all the entries in the components section, What i have found is the installation using all the sections but none mentioned in Components section. It even installed the games that I set to Off 4. I am confused of the GuiRunOnce section. Where in CD should I place the batch file i put under this section. 5. Could anyone give us a complete information of HIVEDEF.INF. Its not userfriendly, but i think its more appropriate compared to batch file based reg tweaks as it let me disable services during setup. 6. I have found many people successful with unattended and customized Windows. Can any of you, put together all these things in to a single thread and make a clean and easy tutorial for the DUMPs? Thanks you all for the Brainshare you do. Forgive my english :-) Salute! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Software Box says "Requires Windows'98 or Better", I installed Linux!
