JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ok Im making an unattended fully self installed windows disk. Now here is my problem I used nlite and told it to take out windows tour and msn messager but everytime I install the tour and msn messager still show up. So at this point I ran the disk in nlite again and the options to take out windows tour and msn messager are gone along with most of the other stuff I remove.

johnhc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JayDogg, please don't chop up your Last Session and paste it in the forum. After you have attached (no pasted) your Last Session, we can take a look and possibly help. I suspect (site unseen) that you have run nLite multiple time against the same source and this often leads to unpredictable results. So, I will leave you with my standard advice: Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dear Johnhc I posted the Last Session that you asked for, I did run it in nlite 2 times but it didnt seem to effect it. The first try (only ran in nlite one time) and last try (ran in nlite 2 times) both did every but the tour and msn messager everything else worked just fine.LAST_SESSION__205507.14_13.35.44_.INI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JayDogg, I loaded and ran your "Last Session.ini".Your folder should be at least 563mb - the original should be 588mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 what folder... my install disk is about 4 gig with the $OME$ folder and the driver and stuff... is there a place\file I can add some reg tweaks to get rid of the tour and msn messager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Sorry, you didn`t tell us about your $OEM$-Folder.When you start right from the beginning (wittout any OEM-Stuff) your XPCD-Folder should be about 588mb (~ original size of XP-SP3).After run nLite with your "Last Session.ini" it should be smaller, about 563mb (~ 19mb removed).

johnhc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JayDogg, sorry, I did not see where you attached your complete Last Session. Do you mean in another thread? You can run a .reg file from RunOnce in Unattended section. The code you showed is part of a .reg file and needs this in front:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00Note blank line after this line and at the end of the file. However, you should not have to do this. I remove both Tour and Windows Messenger and have neither after install. That raises two questions in my mind: Where did your source come from and what are the AddOns and Update Packs doing to you. Assuming you are really starting with a really fresh, legal and valid copy of Windows, I suggest you strip out all that is in your hot fix section and let us know the results. Enjoy, John.

JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dear johnhc I thought about adding the reg file to the RunOnce but the RunOnce doesnt run till after the tour on the first start up... doing me no good. There must be a place I can add the reg tweaks to get loaded before the tour loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 O and yes I have a legal and valid copy of Windows I ripped the disk to my hard drive I think it had server pack one on it, and the sp3 I download from windows, The stuff in the $OME$ folder is everything from my Doc and Pics, work stuff and a bunch of stand alone free ware programs I use like CCleaner and so on.

johnhc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JayDogg, I still comment that you should not need the Registry tweaks, but you can add the necessary commands to the nLite.inf before you cut an ISO. I use Reg2Inf, found here, to convert the .reg to .inf format. Are you not willing to run an experiment, removing all your hot fixes? Enjoy, John.

JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes but the tour runs before the desktop loads too and the tour runs before the RUNONCE runs so that is not going to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Maybe i didn`t catch the problem? If I delete "MS Tour" with nLite (like "JayDogg" did) I don`t need any Regs - the Tour is gone.The XPCD is shrinked by ~19mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes but the tour runs before the desktop loads too and the tour runs before the RUNONCE runs so that is not going to help me.I would figure out why tour is not being removed like others have mentioned but we must be talking about different things. I'm taking about the balloon that pops up in the notification area when you first install XP. The notification area or systray is part of the desktop and runonce runs before you get there...at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDogg Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 The problem is I told Nlite to take out the tour and it thinks it did but the tour still starts up when I do an Install... Im looking for a quick fix I dont really want to start fresh and remove all the addons and updates and hotfixes... there must be file where all the reg files get added during the install. I could just add the reg tweaks to that file.... if anyone knows what file add the all the regs it would be a big help also I would need to know the reg tweak to remove msn messager also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
