Windows Installer is required by many things and can be slipstreamed (at least with hfslip). And in fact, I don't understand how you may have a dotnet package that doesn't need WI3. :?

All versions can be used with nlite and I see no dead link. :? Could you be a bit more specific ?

I've checked your file thrice and couldn't find anything. You should maybe check eventvwr and setuperr.log : your CD maybe has a problem. :? Maybe try once without addons (though I doubt it will change anything).

Please attach your lastsession.ini.

I don't have ie7 but have thiese messages.

Forgot to report one thing. I maximized nlite's window and got that:

When do you install dotnet ? T-13/SVCPACK T-12/cmdlines T-9 WPI WIHU ... ?

Completely remove WMP, use MPC + WMLite + QTLite + RealLite. See http://ksphere.free.fr/site/codecspackage.php And this to configure MPC correctly (mainly for QT and Real) I've upped the corresponding topic. Forgot to say that you have to keep 'ActiveX for Streaming video" in nlite if you want to watch streaming *inside* IE.

Up.

I'll wake up at 8 or 9 a.m (Paris). Could you release it a bit before. Thanks.

Full XP SP1 update with HFSlip + high nlitement (down to 120/130MB) + DriverPacks + WIHU and not a single problem.

@N1K, I can't recall the name of that thing you have used for the banner. Could you give me a link ? Thanks.

Afaik, the navigation menu you should see on the top uses DTHML (+Javascript ?) edit: did not see the second discussion page.

ATM, when you change the destination of Program Files to "Programs" for instance, "C:\Programs" is written to winnt.sif. Why not use "\Programs" instead since it avoids conflicts and works ? Thanks. Nope, it's really Comtrol, according to Comtrol® Corp. Weird.

ATM and afaik, nlite can't slipstream DX. HFSlip can.

Try Reg/FileMon : they will tell you how the installer knows you have a more recent version. Have you tried to install IE7 ?

XP SP2 French is OK here.

Network -> Comtrol test Terminal Program. Typo ?

rc1 ? And is there anything to change to get rid of the files mentionned by Super-Magician; I'd like to avoid running hfslip again. Thanks.

Now I've solved (again) my XP CD problem, I can play with nlite. Removed (all of) them, XP installed correctly under VMWare. I'll see next week how it behaves on my machine. @nuhi and r3incarnat0r, thanks for your answers. It should disable WMI event subsystem and stop logging WMI events. See the *.log files in %windir%\system32\wbem\Logs (defined by Logging Directory value). If you don't need to use the logs, it will prevent from unnecessary disk I/O and also cpu usage every hour in Windows 2000. As you said, the Google would help. Btw this tweak has been requested here. Thanks. I've checked the logs and they are of no interest for me. I don't know if I'll disable this because they are small and are not frequently accessed. If there is any specific thing to test, tell me.

Not at all. MS P2P has nothing to do with DHCP and it only came with SP2 (1). DHCP is working here and MS P2P has been removed. (1) with "Advanced Networking Pack" in fact. ANd this update is available for XP SP1 (it also gives IPv6 and WPA*) Do you need the KB number ?

Veestah is OK for me. I'll ask some friends who use less nLite what they think about it. And about the components I would like to remove first, I think: - WMP (as usual) - Aero glass (I hope it is possible) - System Restore And UAC tweaking. Thanks.

Good luck with your work. And if I find enough time in my life to play with computers, you should be able to do just the same. Errrr, I don't have time any more.
