[feature request] manual tweaks to winnt.sif

Recommended Posts

Hi,

maybe this was posted before, but I didn't see it.

Currently I'm using some winnt.sif tweaks which can't be set by NLite. This means I have a separate copy of a 'good' winnt.sif, and compare this with the nlite generated winnt.sif each time so I get a 'good' version on my image.

I'd would be great if there would be a section in nlite where you can enter some manual winnt.sif 'tweaks', which will be placed or changed in winnt.sif after it's been generated, this way, all the configuration is in the nlite preset.

You can already do this, example I have some theme addons that I want to set as the default theme on login so I edit winnt.sif to add this

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile="%ResourceDir%\Themes\Windows XP Luna Royale.Theme"

First notepad and create a file named Entries_whatever.ini and add something similar to this:

[AddDirective]

WINNT.SIF,Shell;<-This creates a [shell] section

[EditFile]

WINNT.SIF,Shell,DefaultTheme

; This is added under the [shell] section (the shell section needs to exist already for this to work

[DefaultTheme]

CustomDefaultThemeFile="%ResourceDir%\Themes\Windows XP Luna Royale.Theme"

If you post what you want to add to winnt.sif I can probably put together a entries.ini file and explain how it works

ah, very interesting. I think I can manage if I know exactly how to do it. At this time you didn't tell me what to do with this "Entries_whatever.ini" file, how is nlite going to use/process it?

What I want to change/add to winnt.sif is this:

[Data]
Autopartition=1

[Unattended]
Repartition="Yes"
AutoActivate ="Yes"

I'm curious to see your solution, thanks for your help so far!
