i've already used nlite previous versions and got my unattended discs... but now i've tried so hard to do a windows xp unattended installation with all the hotfixes and intergrated drivers from a virgin WinXP corp w/o activation with the new nlite beta .99 or something, and i've been trying to put some applications in an apps folder and my iso office in an office folder so i can have it all on one dvd, not even unattended office during a windows install (i've tried that) it seems like everytime i try harder there's something nutty about the windows setup, either files not being able to copied over during setup or when copied files are done setup cannot continue.

i was wondering if anyone has tried this before, or can give me some tips from their experience. i've wasted too many dvd-r

USE A VIRTUAL MACHINE!

I dont' see a problem here or a question that needs an answer. I generally advise people to STEAR CLEAR OF USING NLITE TO REMOVE COMPONENTS AND ADD HOTFIXES till they know what they're doing on their own.

i did use a virtual machine, but for some off reason ms virtual pc 04 (which was all i had) wouldn't letme use such a huge iso file.... blah... guess i should've used vmware... also configurations on virtual machines sometimes don't match too well in real pc's for me.

About virtualPC's limitation, read the VERY LAST BULLET of the page. Gonna be kicking yourself now...

You still haven't asked a question
