I'm just curious....
when do you get these messages?
If you're slipstreaming a XP source with SP2, it shouldn't prompt you with those messages.
Perhaps you're trying to install SP2 while within windows?

mySQL error: Access denied for user 'biggz'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
That one line told you what was wrong

I don't know what nuhi's intentions are over the long run. If he doesn't intend on commercializing it, then i agree, though i don't think this would be an easy task. Also don't know if he's signed and NDA's with MS that would prevent releasing parts of the code.
Again, I'm not talking releasing the source code of Nlite. As for commercializing, many commercial applications allow for addons to be created (IPB anyone?
). WMP has skins, Winamp has it's plugins, so on and so forth.0 -
Make nLite an open source project, I don't see any disadvantages.
Edit: I just noticed that Alanoll said almost the same thing
Actually, no i didn't. I say make a sort of SDK to ALLOW for opensource modules to be created, but I never said nLite itself should be opensource. I remember all the old discussions of open sourcing nLite, and I still agree with nuhi that it should stay closed.

My request isn't so simple, and could prove quite complicated and possible rewrite of a majority of the code.
Make nLite modular. Have a base engine that loads modules. Module for removal, one for cosmetics, and what have you. Along with this, the ability for others to write their own modules (say to include something you never would have though of). I understand you don't want to make nLite opensource, and so the modular idea with allowing users to write their own modules (granted the programming ones) and then could take some of the burden off you for different "components" of nLite.

because you could just as easily update them yourself?
because both nLite and the Update packs update the I386 FOLDER and not outside of them?

you ran two instances of nLites at once?

Has anyone had any luck in using the SEARCH of this forum?

Thanks, but I’m referring to Nlite modified/created inf’s and files that are run during the windows install. And maybe a bit on what their doing when they do it.
nLite.inf is executed at "Registers Components" and at first logon.
CAB files with apps are typically either first Logon or SVCPACK.INF (T-12)
Some of the windows components are parts of sysoc.inf. Do a search and you'll learn a good deal. RyanVM's update pack uses this method to install it's tweaks and such.

Do remember, nLite is not an install process. You use it to modify Windows. You're installing Windows when you reformat, not nLite.

now, do you mean a timeline for the 10 minute process of creating the disc? or the timeline for Windows Setup?
Windows Setup != nLite

Most people don't use the Administrator account as their normal account, they create one for their own. In fact, Windows hides the original Administrator account unless you unhide it or it's the only account on the system.

are you aware of all the intricacies of the XP setup?

They were valauble questions. A request is worthless without a reason.
I still fail to see how this could be useful. There are numberous other pages on the web with service listings and settings.
As for another way, you could import registry entries (nLite uses this method) to disable the services.

I guess I can ask Vad is he happens to have an english copy, thought i doubt it.
Good to know, originally that site started as a translation of MSFN's.

Hello all,I think it's could be useful some dynamic page of the services.an easy way to change the stratup status.
wmic service where Caption="Alerter" call changestartmode "Disabled"
3 points:
1.Use the display name.
2.Save as batch file.
3."Windows Management Instrumentation" service should be started.
Why would it be useful? Who would maintain?
Why use WMIC?

I honestly have NO IDEA what you're trying to do. Elaborate alittle more?

Leave the script. I don't mind the script. I just mind it when everytime there's a new version people feel the need to tell me. Then, everytime a new script is made they post in THIS thread....a thread about an MSI. If people weren't happy with the MSI, they could do a search for Winamp and come up with atleast 4 other ways to do this...including another MSI.

try the autoit script it works with the latest PRO version of winamp
Not to be rude...but...
EXCELLENT! JUST WHAT I WANTED! I came to a thread looking for a MSI and get directed to an AutoIT script that has EVEN LESS functionality then what I see here.
Sure it's a work around till i get time, but still....i HATE it when people hijack threads for their own. (You did write the script)

the file in the archive is an ISM file and when i changed the extension to MSI it gave me all these crazy characters
Did you happen to notice how that RAR with the ISM in it is just under 150KB? Perhaps the ISM is the original file that i used to CREATE the MSI using InstallShield 11.5. I uploaded it incase someone wanted to use it.
As for 5.23 MSI, I get to it. But my laptop is currently out of commission with a busted LCD.

July 11, 2006 will bring a close to Extended Support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me as part of the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.
Considering how close that deadline is, i can see how they wouldn't want to make any more patches.

12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:
- Oh no!
- Help
- I'm mad
- Please help
- Question
- I need your help
- Hmmmm ....
This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.
A few good examples:
- Strange problem with DirectX9b redist
- RunOnceEx install problem (double installation)
- Change Internet Explorer's Icon back to default
