@ Slycer - yes, you need only SP2 About the hotfixes - it really depends of what you remove with nLite. Example: when you remove wordpad you don't need the wordpad hotfix anymore. Also: different versions of WMP (9, 10 etc...) require different hotfixes. So it's a little bit complicated What I did was: Started to read this thread from the beginning, downloading the listed updates and then delete some of them when it was written some update is replaced by other update. Now I have all hotfixes I need for my nLited WinXP Being said this I really hope this thread will be updated so that I can continue to be up-to-date and know which hotfixes are not needed anymore.
