Sp0iLedBrAt Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well, that's strange. Do any pop-up messages appear? Which OS are you using it on? Have you tried running it in Compatibility mode and see what happens?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Well, I was thinking of Compatibility mode in case you were using Vista or 7. This hasn't been tested, but set it to Windows 2000 and see if it changes anything. You can always undo it. Report back.Edit: if it doesn't work, consider reinstalling nLite.Cheers Edited April 1, 2011 by Sp0iLedBrAt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docfxit Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I tried compatibility mode for 2000. It still disappeared.I tried pointing to the folder that nLite created from the CD. It gave me an error saying it needs to have i386 in the folder. It does have i386 in the folder.What's up?Thanks,Docfxit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Did you read the edit in my previous post? Try reinstalling nLite, both the installer or the self-extracting archive. Get it here http://nliteos.com/download.htmlThe culprit is obviously not .NET Framework, since nLite wouldn't start at all if that were the issue.

docfxit Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 After uninstalling nLite and re-installing it. I tried once again to run it. It still died on me.Thanks,Docfxit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docfxit Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I tried using a different CD. That didn't help.Docfxit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docfxit Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I installed nLite (same download) on a different PC.I copied the XP CD Install files (same folder) to the different PC.It ran with no problems.The differences I see between the two PC's are:1. The first PC is running XP sp2. The second is running XP sp3.2. The first PC has the XP CD folder on a different drive than nLite. The second PC has the XP CD folder on the same drive as nLite.Thank you for your help & support.Docfxit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It really doesn't matter which drive you use for nLite and for the process, as long as you try to have a short path for the source, e.g. C:\XPCD.As far as I know, the Service Pack level also makes no difference; if it works on Win2000, it will work on XP as well. I'm running out of ideas here. Wait around for someone else to give a suggestion.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 docfxit, try removing .NET and reinstalling after a reboot. Let us hear. I run just .NET 4.0. Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 There have been a few cases reported of nLite closing like that, the cause has never been found I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
