Jhorton, I saw that error sometimes myself and it was reported before. Essentially it is the random and rare CAB extraction error. However if you have the latest nLite (exe version 1.4.0.5) I thought it won't happen any more. Not so much my fault as it is combining the new (c#) and the old (cabinet.dll). I had this popup maybe 3 times in all of time using nLite. Then I just exit, reboot machine, recopy clean installation files, load preset and redo. Then it works. But if it's every time the same error for you then you should do what the guys already told you, reinstall VC8 runtimes and .NET 2. Maybe even try disabling possible antivirus resident protection if it scans all files, set it at least to scan on execution only.

That's not a standard Vista version so it's unexpected. There is still no uninstall language pack option, will be eventually, but you could try deleting those language pack folder. Especially if you choose the one you don't remove as your GUI language in the Unattended-Regional page.

Truly good comp? Check the benchmarks all over, tighter memory timings don't help, considering how much they cost. Some to the price of dual core CPUs and for what, 1-2%. It's all just marketing talk, ego and "overclocking potential" which if you want your pc to be silent and enjoyable, can't have. Next Intel CPU will finally have a memory controller onboard, that should help some.

Pistolero, still you're talking about fixing when it's upgrading to be more convenient. I'm not corrupting your CAB. SlimShady, I remember now why it could be. Do you use some other winnt.sif (unattended settings) than what nLite creates? Make sure that nlite.cmd runs during the install as it is intended to. Maybe something else fails before it then it aborts, check the Windows\setuperr.log for errors.

What actually quits after the first Next, "Setups"? Windows setup? nLite itself or any application installation, for example which?

Breezer, games use that dll to detect some stuff. “small pictograms in menu start”, be sure that you're checking Start Menu (classic), not Panel, or vice versa depending what is tweak for. System Restore can't be set less than 10%, if it can for you let me know. Be sure to check first after install. SlimShady, did you select the user on the right in the Autologon dropdown? If you just leave it at None then that will happen what you said. Gompedyret, gonna check that, I think I know what it could be. Pistolero, what bug? All I see is a suggestion. Gonna do it btw. nLite already does check for corruption of system CAB files like Driver.cab or SP2.cab.

I'm just listing the (even remotely) possible differences, you don't have to bury them if you have the answer. Gonna try that manual partitioning just in case and tamper with the Bios settings. But probably someone else will do it before me because I just reinstalled my OS.

Then maybe it's the bios setting or type of USB stick/hdd. Friend for whom it works uses a USB stick, not hdd. For me when it failed I also used USB hdd. My bios had some emulation option in the bios but I didn't play with it too much. Somehow this is starting to be interesting, my DVD RWs are really slow on booting.

No one believes me I said unattended doesn't work for me, but all they ask is basic questions. Btw that error is unrelated to vLite. What you could try is that manual diskpart thing, if you used Logical Disk Manager like I did. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=715889

Auch. Vista will always use all your RAM for caching so it's not easy to say how much memory it uses. One could do like RealFreeMem = Cached + Free. I have 10MB free, isnt' that hilarious, they should add some new portion "recoverable memory", like how much from cache is possible to restore without dragging basic OS functions. With all removed, and recommended kept (in the compatibilities) you'll notice some serious speedup. I never cared about memory, HDD or RAM, just to reduce the amount of processes and threads running in the background. Of course smaller OS installs faster and easier to maintain so that is like secondary priority. RAM now is cheap, if you don't have 4GB go buy some, I think that 1GB is like $20.

It's not about the ISO creation, it's CAB compression. Which is weird since I never heard that it corrupted for someone. Please redownload nLite if you use older than 1.4.0.5 exe version. Also you can try running it with the /makecab switch which will make it use makecab.exe and not internal engine for compressing the CABs. Let me know how it goes.

Oh but you can try nLite's own IE7 integration of the installer itself, not the addon.

runningfool87, well IE7 obviously isn't the one breaking it in your case so I don't know what it is. Try nLite all at once as suggested, or if you plan on using other tools use it before nLite.

dieburnbot, Media Center doesn't have so called HD codec in it, your problem is elsewhere. Maybe HDCP issue. Try FFDSHOW codec pack if you haven't yet. And if you are watching HD WMV then of course keep at least WMP Codecs but I recommend the play as well, in that case only. rayof86, then maybe that wmlite might help you, there are few other wmp codec packs which have browser plugin as well but I never managed to make them work under Firefox for example, I was missing some ActiveX streaming control. That was XP though...now I just don't watch WMV streams, if it doesn't have Flash stream I skip it because it's so rare these days.

Removing Media Center doesn't remove WMP11, you chose that separately. Also you could even save the codecs but I get it you didn't know you'll need it. Try this http://codecpack.nl/wmlite240.exe but I doubt it will help, you'll probably need Vista original WMP11 Codecs, you'll have to reinstall with codecs, or whole wmp11, kept.

No you can't, gotta reinstall with that component kept, that's why it is called Printer Support. Be more careful, this is really basic.

Are you sure that you kept Printer Support? Sounds to me like you removed the hardware support, not just the drivers.

maveric73ph, you're using some addons, I would start by eliminating those in the test. If you still get the popup then I'll try the preset without the addons.

I would get that error during IE7 integration for 64bit but that was fixed. Can you check the nLite + IE7 alone, starting from the original files, with sp2.

How did you confirm the corruption and when, after nlite or nlite popped up the warning during processing?

I'll check that, it's about the INF files, some uneeded one is trying to apply, nothing to worry about but it is annoying. You can deny the popup in this case. Btw are you sure that it's wise to integrate x-fi driver, it has those Creative addon processes which are best installed after install, at least that's how it was in XP.

This talk looks familiar. Essentially it's UAC that you guys need to enable if I remember correctly. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/04/0...-on-or-off.aspx Btw built-in Administrator which you log-on to by skipping user creation does not have UAC enforced on him by default even if UAC seems enabled. Create another Admin-priviledged user and try it there or tamper with the policies.

That's a good question. If you use IE then keep it, if not then it probably won't hurt. I didn't notice any slowdowns or DNS issues on Firefox.

Start vLite, click Browse on the right and point it to the CD drive letter with the first CD in. Then it will ask you where to copy, choose some new folder on the hdd. After it's done copying it will ask you to insert other CDs one by one.

Yeah, or if you don't want to type http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=714784
