ringfinger Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 nLite is a great app for reducing the size of Windows installs and creating custom installations. Remove all the bloat you don't want, install hotfixes and much much more. Check out The nLite Forum and the nLite Homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 nLite will allow you to reduce the size of the source CD that installs Windows. It does this by removing the files for componets that you do now wish to install. You will need to reinstall Windows to remove the components. After you've reduced the size of the source, you can use one of the many methods outlined on the Unattended CD/DVD guide homepage to install your programs afterwards. nLite will not do this for you.

DL. Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 You can remove all (almost) of what nLite can manually, but you will not want to do it when you know how much work it takes. And you will have to do it all once again on the next reinstall.If you just want to remove some components/progs from your current installation there is a program called XPlite.Read What is nLite? and the MSFN Unattended Guide for more info on updating/slimming down and creating your very own special Windows cd. Also take a look around the rest of the MSFN-forums for lots of more info and inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
