nuhi Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Probably he uses the CD which was already nlited, meaning it has nlite.cmd and all the proper entries and then he Slipstreams SP3 which overwrites txtsetup/dosnet as it should overwrite all the files and thus removing copy entries and making the winnt.sif nlite.cmd call reporting missing file.emailaya, is there i386\nlite.cm_ in that folder where you slipstream SP3 to?If it isn't then attach your preset and I'll try (last session.ini). If you do anything else except the Slipstream because nlite.cmd ia added only on Unattended - Runonce.I tried it and it works fine. Edited August 16, 2008 by nuhi

If you do anything else except the Slipstream because nlite.cmd ia added only on Unattended - Runonce.I tried it and it works fine.there is nlite.cm_ file in I386 on the slipstreamed cd i createdi pasted the session ini in a PM i sent u few days agoall i do is slipstream SP3 (nlite asks for a permission to remove hotfixes and i allow it to do so) and made some changes in the explorer environment (details view, small icons and such).i didnt remove components and didnt ask to install anything after the windows installation is overi did put some info in the key and workgroup and defined administrator to log on automaticallywhat do u mean: Unattended - Runonce? this might explain things. perhaps the previous nlite cd (xpsp2) did need nlite.cmd while the new cd (xpsp3), doesnt need it but still it looks for it because of leftovers from the previous nlite version (xpsp2) ?
nuhi Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 You are starting to waste my time.Reread my previous message and see if there is nlite.cm_ in the folder before you slipstream sp3.
emailaya Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 You are starting to waste my time.Reread my previous message and see if there is nlite.cm_ in the folder before you slipstream sp3.i dont understand your aggresive reply when it is obvious i didnt understand where u wanted me to look for this filei remember u didnt understand something i wrote u in a PM and i just explained again without some additional remarks that worth nothingyes there is such file, which might just confirms what i wrote in my "wasting your time" post
emailaya Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 You are starting to waste my time.Reread my previous message and see if there is nlite.cm_ in the folder before you slipstream sp3.what this silence is all about?
Happy-Dude Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 emailaya, have you tried a complete redo for your disk?I think you should do that first before anything. Make sure that you do it with the latest nLite version too (1.4.8) and remember to test in VirtualBox.I hope you have your lastsession files handy !!

nuhi Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 emailaya, "yes there is such file". Then what do you want from me, to give you clean XP SP2 or what? It is not a bug I already explained it to you.
Happy-Dude Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 ((In other words, start over . What are you waiting for? Besides, you're just gonna virtualize it. Won't do much harm. Make another, test it, and if all goes well, install it.))
emailaya Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 emailaya, "yes there is such file". Then what do you want from me, to give you clean XP SP2 or what? It is not a bug I already explained it to you.well, its your app after all.if someone nlited xp -> xpsp2 (and put nlite.cmd as part of the process) and then nlited xpsp2 -> xpsp3 (without the need of nlite.cmd)and the above generates a problem that gives the user a popup message with a warningand still u think this is ok, i wont argue with u even though i find it weird to consider a warning message that shouldnt appear as "not a bug"to happy dude: my problem is that my xp is old and requires activation while my xpsp2 is newer and doesnt need an activationso i prefer to use the xpsp2 version.
Guest Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) You shouldn't be slipstreaming service packs into anything but a clean, unaltered source. This should be common sense. If you never had a clean SP2 source then I'd recommend buying one, or using your old XP source that you don't like because it needs activation.You can't expect nuhi or anybody else to support warez. Who knows what's been done to it before you received it, if indeed you did download it illegitimately. Edited August 20, 2008 by 5eraph

Guest Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The fact remains: Microsoft never released a service pack that removes activation. Period. Obviously, you're not being truthful about the source of your VLK edition SP2 CD. You did not slipstream SP2 into your activation CD and end up with one that does not require activation. You cannot expect nuhi to help you, nor can you expect me to believe you.
