How to incorporate programs?

[Woxxy]

I would like to know if this is possible and if it is, how do i do it?

I want to install lots of 3rd-party software in the same go as the installation.

So if I have eg. Winzip, I want it to install and create a folder in the submenu.

is this possible with nLite?

I carry a g'zillion programs on one CD for installation on any OS.

Once the OS is up and running and you've cleaned up the install and done a Defrag, then put in your software CD and start installing.

It really works slick!

You can even use batch files on the CD to copy stuff to the HD, set desktop icons, etc.

This can be done using Bart's "PEBuilder". Use ULTRA ISO to open PEBuilder; add the programs you want to PEBuilder (instructions available); remake a new ISO and burn. Be aware that this will probably NOT fit on a CD but requires a bootable DVD.

I think he wants to include WinZip with his UA...so this would be what you're looking for:

At least, that's a start. You will need to collect some info on all the programs you want to install, and then start testing using the guides suggestions. There are countless ways to accomplish what you want, but the guide details what is usually the simpliest method. Doesn't require any extra software, maybe just a little scripting...good luck!
