Hi

While I create my nlite CD i think I have missed the BITS service to install and I want to get it back without reintalling whole OS.

Could you please guide me how can i do that?

santhoshworld, SOL - Sadly Outta Luck (polite form) - from acronymfinder.

You have removed a lot of stuff. You do need to remove the Tweak "Explorer-Launch folder windows in a separate process". This exposes a Windows bug, but has nothing to do with your problem. Did you read nLite's warning (in red) about this service being needed for Network and Windows Update? I cannot help you get BITS back. You will have to wait to see if someone else has been down this road. I assume you have searched far and wide for an answer. In general, to restore a removed component requires a rebuild. Good luck, John.

santhoshworld, in the process of trying to learn something about .INF (Information) files, I ran across the file QMGR.INF (extracted QMGR.IN_ in your I386 folder.) It looks like this is the INF that installs BITS. I am not knowledgeable enough to tell you how to use this information, but it looks like this file contains the files and keys needed to get BITS going. Hopefully someone else will comment and we will all learn something. If you do decide to pursue this, please be WARNED, that messing with this can cause real problems on your running system. I would recommend that you first install a copy of your OS (with missing BITS) on a Virtual System (VirtualPC, VirtualBox or VMware Server - all free.) You can then test without risk to your running system. Please let us know what you think and learn. Have fun, John.
