Volatus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Alright, yeah, that totally didn't even scratch my question. If you notice my profile, I use nLite and vLite on every Windows installation ever since I found them.In all the time I've used nLite and vLite, I've never even heard of WAIK. So therein lies my question. What is all this uproar about WAIK about, when neither nLite nor vLite use it (whatever "it" is)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 vLite does use WAIK. What happened though is that vLite 1.1.6 and earlier included the necessary files but v1.2 does not. Some people dont know where else to get the files needed other than to download the huge WAIK and thus they complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 vLite uses a couple of very specific files from it. It is whats needed to compile the image from what I understand. It is a very key component to vLite.But ever since the AutoPatcher fiasco MS has been anal about redistrubuting files... Nuhi doesn't want to take the chance of any cease and decist orders or the like.Think of it as the gas in your car, your car may look pretty and everything but without gas it is just a pile of junk and doesn't go anywhere.

Volatus Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That's really strange. I used vLite to create the version of Vista I'm using right now, done under XP, and never even saw a reference to WAIK. I'm certain I was using the latest version as well.Confused, as, hell. o_OMaybe it was because I upgraded from an old version of vLite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes it was becaues you upgraded. Like Nuhi said in the release post. If the old version is installed first it bypasses the need for WAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either:A = You DID and uninstalled itorB = You never fully installed it.Either way you need to fully install 1.1.6 Before 1.2beta and all will be fine...

nuhi Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 bapt, make sure it is the exactly the same folder. If it was then install 1.1.6 and then download 1.2 selfextracting archive, run it and choose again the same folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
