adiabolist Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) The only thing I can't get figured out after months of messing with options is what option I have checked or unchecked to cause the cancel, or retry, or the typical text found in install boxes to be missing. This only happens with certain installs, the C++ run times being one of them. But it is annoying to have 3 blank boxes in front of you and not know which is cancel, retry, or ? for the third box. Any incites from anyone else who has had this same problem is appreciated. Thank you!OEM XP, SP3last_session.ini Edited February 18, 2009 by adiabolist
johnhc Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 adiabolist, I see nothing obvious in your Last Session. Often when strange things happen, nLite has been run more than once against the same source. NLite should always be run using a fresh copy of your CD files/folders. Slipstream only one SP. Enjoy, John.

Enjoy, John.Always a fresh copy, but thanks for the reply! Unfortunately however it's not that. If I remove all options from nlite except unattended stuff it fixes it. I'm in the process of eliminating it, but it's taking a VERY long time. I also experienced this with an "eXPerience" release in the past. I'm trying to narrow it down and will post what I find here if nobody else has ever had the same problem.
johnhc Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 adiabolist, sorry, I don't know what an "eXPerience" release is. What kind of CD do you have - OEM, Retail, Recovery, VLK, etc? Please post a Windows Explorer screen shot of your CD files/folders. Enjoy, John.

It appears to be occuring when I integrate WMP11 into the install. I do the integration before nlite. Going to do a few more checks, but I believe it does something to mess up the way nlite compiles things ..... or something like that. Don't count on me to have the right technical jargon =P I'll post my findings in a bit. I appreciate your willingness to help though John I think I just lucked out and figured it out on accident. Actually it's what you were saying about a clean install, made me think that perhapse the WMP11 integration was corrupting things somehow; looks like you were likely right.

johnhc Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 adiabolist, good debug work! The latest version of nLite automatically integrates WMP11 using WMP11 Slipstreamer. Just place WMP11 into your hot fix list. Be sure to include any updates to WMP11 after it. You may need to install WMP11 Slipstreamer, but I see there is a copy in the nLite Program Folders folder. Please, let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John.
