No MS does not just GIVE them out. You need to be a MSDN or TECHNET member or by one off of the shelves.

This is most commonly caused by the fact that the key has been blacklisted or you are trying to use the wrong type of key with the wrong media. See in every service pack they blacklist keys that have been found on the net or used way too much, so by now over a thousand (maybe several thousand) keys will not work anymore.... Also are you sure you have the right key for the right disk. There are differences between XP home, pro and mce. Plus on top of that there is a difference between OEM, Corp (VLK) and retail. So you are looking at several different versions of XP.

OK mritter sent me a small adjustment to the uid pop-up. So I made a silent update.

KK updated with the new langfiles and manual files. THANKS

Remake it to Bliss.bmp Makecab on it. Replace in I386 dir. NEVER worry about it again..

WOW thats pretty ambitious What are you using for your bootmenu? EasyBoot?

We need the actual model and make number to attempt to find you drivers for it.

DID YOU PAY FOR IT??? WTH is this attitude? Nuhi worked on this and nLite for years without charging for it. He has a life to live now (Seems others expect us developers to not have lives and do all this for free) Where would you be if all free programs just pulled the plug? Posts like this give Nuhi justification for taking as long a vacation as he needs...

Updated.

Yes

YEAH!!!

Its only for when you make a new entry on the newer gadget system.... All of the old config files are fine. Hitting TAB just "Activates" the rest of the interface.

#1 YOU'RE YELLING! Which just plain p***es people off. #2 Hirens is warez and you'll find no help for it here.

You don't get what I mean. I am talking about the end result. 90% of users cannot understand nor are willing to learn how to read the code or how to see a line or 2 of code in several thousand lines that will cause these issues. While 5-10% of the users will use these means to their advantage. The other 5% will be honest to try and make sure these issues are rectified but by then the damage will already be done. As for making wrappers for the installer, yeah that can be done but the official website has file size and MD5Hash...

YES! My time machine WORKS!!! YAY

No-one here will give you a way to download a finished cd that is illegal. Even if you have your own key.

Something like this needs to be in a VERY controlled enviroment. Too many people could easily make nefarious versions and sucker the common user without their know. Leave a port open here.... Dial a open address... Poof PC and data plus connection GONE. It's already being done with one of the most infamous WAREZed copies of XP and Vista out there. I am barred from mentioning the name here (By common sense and forum rules) This copy I mentioned actually sends the maker data and not only that he gets paid for the use of your pc... Ads, toolbars and soforth.

Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI for short) is a hypertext application designed for giving users choice. While Windows XP offers many ways of customizing the setup process out of the box, its major drawback is the lack of being able to select which applications an end user may install. In the past, end users and administrators needed to either download the files manually, or create overly complex scripts that could only be used once. WPI allows you to create one image, which can then be custom configured, and optionally, automated, so that end users can install any applications. WPI is a simple to use automation program for the choice and installation of multiple programs, tweaks and scripts. No longer will you need a dozen CD's or more when doing a fresh Installation. No longer will you need multiple files when you are servicing another PC. With Windows Post-Install Wizard all that you will need is 1 or 2 CD\DVD's to fully install your PC with all of your apps, scripts, registry files or tweaks. Instead of having to re-download those apps like adobe reader, flash or updates to programs you can have them all on one disk. With WPI you can have all of them all on one disk and then have a nice interface for selecting which apps to install and after configured properly WPI will install all of them without any needed input from you. WPI also and is commonly used added to your windows installation disks. This way you can automate the complete process of Windows and program installations. With your typical setup of WPI you have your OS and all of the apps, tweaks and such on one disk. After windows installs, WPI kicks in and you are given a selection of everything you have configured WPI with, then you can select the ones you want or simply let the timer run out and your default apps will install. Highlights of the newest version! v7.5.0 Updates - Released April 30th, 2009 ======================================================================== * Fixed bug that when starting with no config file, the first entry would cause an error in the grid. * Finally got the xGrid and xWindows to work together to show the alternating colors for each line. * Fixed bug when add new Config entry it always asked if want to update all UIDs even though it is brand new. * Added function isUserName() Usage: isUserName("Joe User") Returns: true or false * Added function isComputerName() Usage: isComputerName("Accounting") Returns: true or false * Added function isUserDomain() Usage: isUserDomain("Workgroup") Returns: true or false Note: If not on a real network, domain will be the same as computer name. * Added function isLogOnServer() Usage: isLogOnServer("\\Server1") Returns: true or false Notes and Extras Suggested disk folder layout: With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like: ["%wpipath%\Install\Blah.exe" /switch] Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI! Ok this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for CCleaner (A.K.A Crap Cleaner) This assumes you have all of the WPI files either in the WPI folder at the root of your Windows cd or all of the WPI folders (Common, Graphics, WPIScripts, Tools, Install and Themes) and the file WPI.hta at the root of your cd. Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program! 1. Download the app and place it in the WPI\Install Folder. (CCleaner.exe in this example) 2. Run WPI.hta and click on the “Config” button\Icon area. 3. Go to the very top area above the config section and click on the button that says “Add” 4. Enter in the name section “CCleaner” No quotes! Then press the TAB button to activate the rest of the wizard. 5. You will notice the Unique ID (UID) section gets automatically filled in for you. 6. All apps are selected to be installed by default right from the start so if you don’t want it selected by default you must uncheck this box. 7. Choose a category for your app to be displayed in. If you want the app to be displayed in a category you don’t see simply chose other and a box will appear that will allow the entry of you choice. 8. In the commands tab click on "Add" at the controls area just right of the command line pane and then the the little folder icon and browse to your folder that contains the app, preferably the .\WPI\Install folder then select the CCleaner installer, this will place the appropriate path in the command line. 9. Add the necessary switch(s) for the program to run silently. For CCleaner the switch is /S so you would have your command line looks like so = "%wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe" /S (This can be easily done for most standard apps by simply clicking on the USSF button on the far right of the command line.) Other switches for apps that USSF cannot identify you can try looking at the forum section here = MSFN Application Installs section, 10. Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! Afterwards you configure WPI to run with your CD using whichever method you choose. We suggest using one of the pre compiled and nicely provided $oem$ (Source folder if your are using Vista or Server 2008) folders that can be found in the downloads section. Then you can use an app like nLite, vLite, CDImageGUI or the Makeiso* program included in the tools folder to make your CD w\WPI bootable again. * MakeIso.exe = Adds make bootable .iso to the right click menu of folders. It is a silent installer so DO NOT click on it 50x a simple double click is all that is need to install it. It can be uninstalled from the add\remove programs menu! Just go to the source folder (The one that contains I386 and WPI) and right click then select Make Bootable ISO... _____________________________________________________________________ I have seperated the tools out from the main archive.

SO far the beta's have ALL been "Install Ultimate version only" So I don't even know if that code will work yet... Also v7057 is considered as WAREZ so you'll find little or no help for it here.

Moving to the applications installs section. Sorry but I cannot help you with this.

Hmmm can you elaborate? The theme is already made that way. Pretty much anything can be done just use paint or whatever to circle the areas you are speaking of. Also go make your own copy and quit stealing! i.e. the OBVIOUS use of warez in the pic...

You might be selecting the wrong dir. Unpack the addon and see all of the contents. P.S. There is a nLite forum and a nLite addon forum.

I am not sure if variables will be recognized by then but you can try these: .\Folder\program.exe or ..\Folder\program.exe Not you need to try using all of these in VM it will save you LOADS of time and headaches.
