Bug? nLite compiles but incorrectly

[FireLily]

Hi All,

What an outstanding program! I just hope to get it working. (using v1.4.1) I think nLite might have a couple of bugs but being a newbie...

nLite is able to compile and create the iso image but there is a problem when it's loaded in Virtual PC. I'm using XP Pro SP2. Here's what happens:

VPC - Boots

Inspecting hardware configuration

F6 install 3-rd party SCSI & RAID drivers

F2 run Automatic System Recovery (ASR)

Setup is loading files

Setup is Starting Windows <- stops\locks-up here

I tried several different test images and every one of them stopped in the same place. I confirmed that it's not due to a bad CD; tested 2 XP Pro CDs. There's not a ripping or iso creation problem - tested with using PowerISO. Finally, it's not due to a conflict I might have made, tested with everything set to default with 'Unattended Mode' and 'Bootable' selected. All the results were the same. Is there a way to work around this? Does nLite rely on anything outside itself besides Net Framework? Maybe I have something disabled that should be turned on.

The other challenge is, nLite crashes during the compiling stage when it deals with the Themes section. I was able to get past the problem by editing the 'Last session.ini' file. I removed the entire [DesktopTheme] section including the title and reloaded. Then it worked fine.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I figured out the problem. I used another program to rip XP to the drive and mount in D-Tools. When I used nLite to rip directly from the disc it worked. Not sure why that should have mattered.
