nLite crashes

[DLD-UK]

Hi,

I'm new to nLite and have successfully run it once and built a bootable CD, but when I try to run it again it crashes with the error below being posted to event viewer. This appears to be saying that a directory is not found, but I have no idea why. The reason for running it again is simply that the person whose PC I'm re-installing wants another account that he hadn't previously told me about. Although I'm running nLite on Vista the target machine is XP Home.

BTW, it would be great if there was an option to save the information that has been entered rather than just using a previous session. When the program crashes you have to re-enter all the information again and it gets really tiresome after about 4 times!

Anyone any idea what the missing directory is and why it is missing? Also, does nLite create error reports anywhere? I've checked the obvious places.

Thanks

David

Having run this a couple more times it appears that it is crashing when trying to include XP themes into the build. When nLite first runs it gives an error message saying that the luna.msstyles file is not found in my Windows directory. I'm not sure why it is looking in my Windows directory as I'm running nLite on a Vista machine to build a CD for an XP machine. I also have no idea why it is looking for the Luna msstyles file in the first place.

Anyone got any advice on how I fix this?

Sorry but your posting has really confused me. What is the relevance of the document?

You might try creating your Nlite XP disc using an XP running PC.

I havnt seen such error in XP SP2 machine

There is not any Luna theme nor Luna.msstyles but there are other themes...

Looking for luna.msstyles file sounds Strange...
