Fist of all Hi

A great site you have here, have to confess ive been a lurker for 3 months, and finished my first unattended OS, with the help and direction of this forum. Took me 3 months with alot of trial and errors, and alot of erasing and reinstalling DVDRWs but i got there in the end and am very pleased with it.

What i wanted to do was give my xp pro, a new look and be fully unattended with integrated addons, vista look, and with only having to select a fresh partition. This i have achieved, but i have my own personal APPs that i wanted to integrate into the OS,m either in My Documents or in my C/Drive, this i wasnt able to get my head around, or read wether this can be done. So what i ended up doing was, convert these apps into a iso file and place it in the OS in a folder called Applications, to wich i can run the disk again after installation and click on browse CD, and then drag it off and into my documents were i am then able to extract the iso and install, the apps when needed.

But im thinking there must be a easier way, to integrate it in the OS, under my specified destination, without having to go through this process.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

You might want to check nLite and its ADDONS section. In these forums (Members Contributed Projects).

Thanks mate, but the apps i have i dont want them to be preinstalled to the OS itself i want to install them to a folder in My Documents or a folder in my C/Drive, for which i can install when and if i want to at a later date. If that makes sense.

You could use $OEM$ folders for that for example, or silent, self-extracting archives (which don't install).
