Starting Fresh with NLite

[brokenwall]

I use to work with nLite alot about half a year ago, and now I'm trying to help my friend out and trying to help him build a new restore CD for the computer he just built so he don't have to worry about the CD ever again or anything.

I use to use alot of RyanVM's updates, WGA, and other nLite addons, but I see they are no longer up-to-date.

I installed a fresh copy of XP Pro Sp2 and saw that there is a total of 125 updates (that includes IE7, WMP11, .Net Frameworks) I would like to find a new place to try to get all the update packs so I don't have to download all the old update packs I used, then use a RunOnceEX to use the switchless installers for the .Net frameworks.

Also has anyone found a way to slimstream the .net Packages into an install CD, so you don't have to use the RunOnceEx and use the switches for the Microsoft Distributed Installers.

And whatever happen to Boogy's WMP11 plugin, I see his slipstreamer, but should I do that before or after I start working in nLite?

The basic things I'm looking to get installed are

Flash

Shockwave

Java Runtime

.Net 1.1,2.0,3.0 w/ Hotfixes

WMP11

IE7

WGA

WGA Notifcations

Can someone help lead me the right direction again. Sucks coming back and everything is new and changed.

Get XP SP3 Release Candidate. The public release is v3264 it contains all the updates you need.

RyanVM's beta update pack from his forum, is up-to-date, and which i would recommend instead of using non-stable MS testing products. If you only want the high-priority updates, then i can highly recommend Xable's update pack instead.

As for the rest of your questions, then please search the forum for the info yourself, as it isn't hard to find, and as i don't use those things myself...

SP3 is stable. Its the Release Candidate so its pretty polished. There should be a few bugs left in it, but I haven't found any myself.
