Strange nLite problem

[J3ph_42]

I just tried nLite for the first time a few weeks ago when XP SP3 came out, and it worked great. Now, I have come back to it, and if I only use buttons on the main nlite window I am fine, but whenever I click a button in a dialog, nlite crashes. File browser dialogs cause it to simply die, and trying to dismiss error/notification dialogs causes nlite to freeze, forcing me to kill it with task manager. Uninstalling nlite didn't help either. What can I do (other than not use nlite)?

Its look liek a windows problem not like a nlite problem!

Which OS to you use? which framework?

(nlite works best on XP and needs Dot.net2)

First you should try to reinstal Dot.Net2 and if this dont work then make a clean XP install and try it this way!

I'm running WinXP SP3. Not sure about the .NET version, it is at least 2.0

Full XP Sp3 as a host or previously nLited (not asking about the target folder) ?

Can you tell me some specific operation that I might try, like pressing Next breaks it or task checkboxes?

My OS was XP SP2, I just upgraded from the leaked SP3 RTM installer, not a slipstream SP3 install. Next/back is fine. The problem seems to be (from my amateur programming POV) that any time I trigger an OnClick() in a child window (like the file select browser dialog for finding a windows install directory to work from: I can open the dialog, and browse directories, but clicking Open or Cancel will cause the dialog to close, then nlite will die a few seconds later, if I choose a directory that doesn't have an i386 subdirectory, it will pop up a notice window telling me to try again, when I try to dismiss that, nlite freezes, same with the "that's a WORM media, you'll have to choose a working directory on your harddrive to proceed" notification window)

My .NET version was 2.0, btw, I tried installing the SP1 release for .NET 2.0, but that didn't help (although the .NET update said it installed properly).

Okay, I realized I had started using a a program called X-Mouse, which makes windows act like act like X in terms of mouse useage (focus follows cursor, single click copy/paste, etc.) Stopping X-Mouse seems to make nlite not crash.

You dont need a third-party tool to enable x-mouse behaviour in windows. Just mentioning this if you still want windows to behave that way.
