adding missing components

[rzeljko]

I created custom install iso with nlite where I disabled some items (games, etc.), but now I need some of them. Is there any method which I can use to get this components? In add-remove programs/windows components there aren't this items in list.

[MrJinje]

Nope, best bet is to re-run nLite on your clean source, and be sure not to remove those things next time.

Yeah it is a pain, but that is the only way.

HINT: Import your session.ini to save time

The general principle is that if something was removed, it is very difficult (or impossible) to bring it back. You could look at this sub-forum http://www.msfn.org/...ams-t66361.html and hope you will find which files you need for what you removed. There have been some successful cases when users have reverted to removed functions, but you could have found that out by using search.

MrJinje, you beat me by seconds . rzeljko, by all means attach (not copy/paste) your Last Session.ini to give us a clue what you did, and be more specific on what you want to re-enable.

but now I need some of them.

As others have said -- difficult. Depends on what you want back. I created, and have somewhere, an Outlook restorer (for example). If you post what you want back you might have someone tell you how to do it. (If it's COM, MDAC, DTC, etc then you're out of luck, those are way too labor intensive.)

This is the search I did on my XPSP3 for "cards.dll"; the lines are present in the following files:

layout.inf

cards.dll	= 1,,359936,,,,,2,1,0

defltwk.inf

"%Systemdirectory%\cards.dll",2,"D:P(A;;GRGX;;;BU)(A;;GRGX;;;PU)(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;SY)"
