    Mindows Project

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by slippykillsticks

    Just curious, how many people actually got this project working?

    I've had it working by adding the minxp.rar that DigitalFrost posted to my installation source and testing it in Virtual PC. It is strange the way he did it though. Leaves about 217 MB in the system32 folder (ack...). Maybe yours will come out smaller.

    BTW are you doing regtweaks and inf tweaks to remove crap that is left over from removed components?

    Here's my way: http://digitalfrost.planetzord.de/minxp.rar

    It contains Minlogon & CAD_Trap, open cmdlines.txt and remove the appropriate lines if you don't like it. It is ready for use with any XP CD, and should also work with a installed xp (just copy the files in $$ to %WinDir% and run DelFiles.bat).

    Aegis: You might wanna take a look at LiteShell, as the name implies it is very lite. Also there's a ext2 file system driver for XP (ext2fsd), but I don't think it is stable enough for serious use, besides the fact that you can only install xp to ntfs/fat32 with the textsetup.

    Yours works pretty good with a couple of problems though. It asks for WSOCK32.DLL (easily added to the keep list) and you most likely have to use a shell other than explorer unless you keep a bunch of other files like oleaut32.dll, etc.

    I'm changing the installer so that it removes files from the XP CD.

    That's a VERY good idea. That way you won't have any legal problems. I don't think people will get this confused with nLite, but you should probably alter your first post to have a better introduction to what this does and also explain the difference between MinInstall and nLite.

    Hope Inno doesn't give you any problems. Good luck and just ask if you need any help.

    slippykillsticks, this doesn't have anything to do with nLite, it's a separate project. This is where I stop because still haven't tried it.

    I didn't know, I apologize. Thank you for clearing that up for me. BTW I am an avid nLite fan. Can't wait til the next release.

    What if we added the regs by putting them in HIVEDEF.INF, for instance:

    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","ReportBootOk",0x00020000,"0"
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","Shell",0x00020000,""
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","VmApplet",0x00020000,""
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","cachedlogonscount",0x00020000,"0"
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","forceunlocklogon",0x00010001,1
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","LogonType",0x00010001,1
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","Background",0x00020000,"58 110 165"
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","SFCDisable",0x00010001,ffffff9d
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability","ShutdownDoStateSnapshot",0x00010001,0

    Aegis, first of all -- this is a great idea.

    Secondly, I was wondering how exactly can I do this? Using nLite? I read your first post but I really don't understand how you plan to reduce Windows to that size. Is this a post-installation thing or is it done on a source share and burned to a CD?

    Thanks for your work.

    Have you even bothered to read the entire thread? Aegis has made a batch file for this and posted it here.

    SEARCH!!!

    I read the entire thread and I have the batch file. I just don't know how/when to use it. That's why I posted asking questions. How do I use it? Do I use it in RunOnceEx after doing nLite or something? And what do I remove with nLite? Everything?
