How to add programs as add-ons in nLite?

[john10001]

If I want to add the following to an XP SP3 slipstreamed disc in nLite, how do I do it?

IE8

Firefox

MSE

EmiSoft Anti-Malware

Zonealarm

Adobe Flash

Adobe Reader

Agent Newsreader

WMP11

Winamp

Ccleaner

Defragler

DivX Plus

K-Lite Codec pack

MS Office 2000

Nero 6

NET Framework

nLite

WinSCP

PSE

Pressreader

Java Runtime

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of other stuff too but I think those ones are the essential ones I would really like to integrate if its possible so I don't have to reinstall every single thing separately.

Is it possible to do all these programs as add-ons in nLite? If so do I just download the file and insert it into the hotfixes, add-ons and update packs section of nLite after I have slipstreamed XP and SP3?

Cheers,

John

First of all, use search. Look at all the sticky posts above the one you wrote http://www.msfn.org/...ation-add-ons/. They are full of already-made add-ons, so you can find the ones you need. I use this one most often http://www.winaddons.com/nlite-addons , but there are plenty more.

Most of them already are, and YES, you can add them as add-ons in ONE session along with everything else you want to do with nLite.

WMP11 is different. You will need this http://www.boooggy.org/slipstreamer/ . I may be mistaken, but I think you have to do this before you start nLite.

I suggest you slipstream SP3 into XP (with nLite or not), save it as an .iso and use that as a base for consequent work with nLite.

Cheers

Thanks mate.

What do you mean by ready made add-ons?

Can you not just insert the .exe file for the program you wish to be installed as part of the slipstream into the "Hotfixes, Add-Ons and Update packs" section of nLite when you're creating your slipstream? (see att)

I have had a look at winaddons as well as the RyanVM forums but there are quite a lot of things that they don't have add-ons for like Agent Newsreader.

No.

You could ask someone to make it for you (if that's possible) by posting a new topic with [REQUEST] at the beginning of the title. Here, I'll look into Agent Newsreader and tell you if I can do it.

Cheers

EDIT: Looks like you're in luck; you can find the add-on in the link in my signature

you wont believe this but i still cannot get the silent install of my office 2003 to work in nlite

i used the tutorial from here

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/71442-how-to-make-an-office-2003-cab-file-for-nlite/

when i double click on it, it installs perfectly but all the methods i use, svcpack, batch command none are working

i tried making an addon, also not

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Office CANNOT be installed VIA svcpack! AFAIK

You need to add it to runonceex.

then please explain how to add via runonceex. i tried the pdf tutorial from attended.msfn.org. Remember i have a silent.exe file now. when i double click on a clean machine or in vmware it extracts and after its there.

1. Use the ORK 2003 to create an unattended installation, with the serial and everything and save the settings in UNATTENDED.MST.

2. Copy the folder (e.g. name: Office2003) into $OEM$ and place this command in a batch file

start /wait %Source%$OEM$\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=UNATTENDED.MST /qb-

3.Save the batch as batch.cmd in the root of the XP folder (next to I386 and $OEM$).

In nLite->Unattended section->RunOnce enter this command

cmd /R %source%batch.cmd

and press Add.

That's it; Office 2003 will install from the XPCD. If you add more files to the $OEM$ folder, you can call and install them from batch.cmd

Hope that helps

Is this how the batch.cmd should look like, please edit where needed

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installation of Software" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Office2003" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB" /f

start /wait %Source%$OEM$\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=UNATTENDED.MST /qb-

EXIT

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

No.

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB" /f

start /wait %Source%$OEM$\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=UNATTENDED.MST /qb-

The first line points to an install point from your HDD. If you want it this way, put Office2003 folder in $OEM$\$1\

This way the contents will get copied to C:\ and they will be executed from there. Another thing (and I need confirmation for this) is that I'm not sure that if you call PRO11.msi, you will get an unattended setup.

The second line installs directly from CD. One of the benefits is smaller install time, since the contents of the $OEM$ folder don't get copied to C:\

It's up to you to choose

Cheers
