Windows XP Unattended CD SlipStream Plus

[MHz]

I have created a program that should help some newbie's enter into the unattend cd arena. While it will not do it all. No program can cater for that. This should help to some cause. But anyone's opinion's on improvement are welcome.

This is based for an unattended, user account made, runonceex with regtweaks etc. Example files are generated. It will help as far as I think some will need without going overboard. Give it a try and please give me some feedback.

maybe its just me.. but the screenshot u posted looks kinda like the same thing nlite does

[MHz]

Nothing that I created or designed is in any way is reflected upon nLite.

This program is no replacement for nLite, if you want features like component removal etc, please use nLite.

I do not use nLite, as I use manual methods of creating an Unattended CD.

This program results in a similar method as the Unattended Guide at MSFN.

I created it to try and help others, to get through some of the process without error.

haven't tried this yet

can components from plus be removed before slipstreaming? i want to install / slipstream only dancer from plus digital media edition and nothing else

[MHz]

This program can help you with the procedures as laid out in the MSFN unattended CD guide. It can setup your unattended answer file, slipstream service pack 2 into your windows xp cd, remove unnecessary folders, create cmdlines.txt, runonceex.cmd, useraccounts.cmd, regtweak.reg etc. as in the guide.

I do not think, the plus in the title is what you think it is. I am not sure about slipstreaming dancers?

Download it. Have a look at it, and judge for yourself.

Nice Start

After awhile on my app here's what I have now. I see room for improvement in your's as well as mine but we all work to that end.

XP Pro or Home Unattended CD Creator?

EDIT: Removed pic cause I don't want to take away from your post.
