Loading update pack

[graham01]

I'm having a problem with loading update packs into Nlite 1.4.8. With a Ryan update pack if I click import, select the rar file then nlite just gives me an incompatible format error - see help (what help). Everything else works fine but the updates I must be missing something.

try extracting the update pack -- there's a 99% chance it doesnt have an entries.ini file associated with it. Which update pack are you trying to use? links please?

I tried both Ryans current post-SP3 update pack and Onepieces post-SP3 update pack. Extracted both of them and they both have an entries.ini file included.

The actual nlite message says "unsupported file"

Figured it out

you should download the Post-SP3 Update Pack from the first mirror. its gonna be a 7z file. open nLite, follow SOP and add that 7z file to it.

I had no problem... check that you downloaded the right file.

WARNING!

!!! I haven't actually tested the RVM-Update Pack-SP3! the problem was not being able to add it to the Addons page! RTFM for help! http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/nlite.html for instructions!!! !!!

Thank you so much - I'm full time getting my daughter moved today but will try that tonight. I do have a set of all the Microsoft security updates since SP3 in original download format (..ENU.exe) - I know those are ok. Is there a way to make those nlite compatible?

TTBOMK, they're already perfectly silent, so you can add them directly to the hotfixes. they'll be added right to the list of addons and integrated at install time.
