3to4 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hello,I just joined the forum. I heard Window XP SP3 is going to be out pretty soon. So, I wanted to prepare my installation using this fantastic software "nlite". What I want to do is to remove "Security Center" and "Automatic Update" at least. So, I intergrated SP3 to Windows XP OEM (without any SP) by removing these elements, il installed fine, but I see "userenv" error in Event log. What I don't understand is that when I tested some time ago, I also removed "Security Center" and "Automatic Update", and there was no error in Event log, and this installation is even now working in another PC. But, unfortunately, I did not backup the ISO, thinking that the process was easy, and I could reproduce the same ISO.As far as I remember, the difference is, when I made the first test, I removed many other elements as well. Is it possible that "not removing some elements" gives this error?? By the way, when I just integrate SP3 without removing anything, it installs without any error in Eventlog. Does anyone have some clue? How can I remove "Security Center" and "Automatic Update" without having errors in Event log? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i would just edit the startup type in the services tab to disable the 2 services. cant think of a reason why youd wanna bring back security center but the auto updates service has to be started for windows update to work so i at least leave it in even if its disabled by default.

3to4 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thanks, geek!So, I tried several times, removing "Security Center" and leaving "Automatic Update".I still got the same error in Event Viewer.I also found a "setuperr" file in Windows directory, which goes:Error:Setup could not register the OLE Control C:\WINDOWS\system32\userenv.dll because of the following error:DllInstall returned error 2147746132 (80040154).***Error:Setup could not register the OLE Control C:\WINDOWS\system32\eventcls.dll because of the following error:DllInstall returned error 2147549183 (8000ffff).***Error:Setup could not register the OLE Control C:\WINDOWS\system32\swprv.dll because of the following error:DllInstall returned error 2147549183 (8000ffff).***I checked, and these files are there in "system32" directory.Has anyone succeeded in removing "Security Center" without having negative consequences? I really would like to remove it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 as a general rule i leave everything in but just have security center (and a few others services set to disabled by default. that way i can turn them on later. saving space on the iso isnt that big of a deal for me.

3to4 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hello,I tried many times by changing the combination of the components to remove. I notice that if I remove something, not necessarily "Security Center", I get this error. (If I intergrate SP3 without removing anything, everything is ok. Or, so it seems. )When I get this error, I notice also that WMI service is missing. I have tried nLite 1.4.5 b2 and Final, but the same result. If I understand well, it seems like an earlier version had this problem....("'WMI failing"???) I am using OEM Windows XP + SP3 (5512). (I tried 5503 and 5508 with the same result.)It seem that other people are not having this problem.So, I would like to ask. What could be the cause of this?Thanks.

litvinoven Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Hello, all.I have absolutely the same problem!I had tried many variants and every time met this problem. Only in full system all is OK.In last variant I remove only: old and not used hardware supports, all drivers (and install my new ones), all keyboards and all languages. No system components are removed, no tweak are applied, etc. I compare this system with full one and found that only in \System32\Wbem\ more then 70 files are absent (incl. winmgmt.exe! but winmgmt.dll - present)!!! In Txtsetup.sif and Dosnet.inf all (?) these files are present (in both systems). All files from Sp2.Now I am investigating this problem.My system: WinXp Pro Sp2 Rus VLK with integrated Sp3 (last version), now with KB952287 and KB892130 hotfixes, installed by Winnt32.exe. nLite - 1.4.5.4.Many thanks Nuhi for nLite!P.S.Sp3: Administration -> Service -> Properties - "dependency tab" disappears! Is this a bug or may be adjusted? Edited May 18, 2008 by litvinoven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
