My install works! Hell... even got sysprep to shutdown the pc so the end user has to put in the cd key.

However... in the process, my desktop background is black and have no "my computer" icon on the desktop.

I think this was from some testing along the way.

How can I make a fresh nlite config set or just start from scratch?

I clicked reset or defaults in all the windows but some previous settings ( like the black desktop) are still showing.

Thanks in advance... the cheque is in the mail as they say.

uninstalled nlite, reinstalled nlite

my source was c:\w2kcd.

copied my slipstreamed w2k_sp4 cd into a new directory "c:\nlite".

nlite somehow still saw my unattended settings and warned me about that but who cares... sure as hell not you.

fired it up blah blah blah

ran a few runguionce batch files...

copy the \support\tools files to \u and \sysprep (the only way I know how to create a sysprep folder)

expanded the deploy.cab files to \sysprep

run sysprep.exe -quiet

everything gets installed... sysprep runs and shuts down the pc.

end user turns it on and enters the coa key blah blah blah.

meh.
