nuhi Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 tianchg, can you explain a little more what fails exactly, installation or printers are still installed? Which error is displayed? Attach preset. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tianchg Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 My PC: AMD Sempron64 2500+(S754) Biostar TForce6100 Seagate 7200.9 160GB IDEand My OS is XP SP2 Simplified Chinese which lited with nLite RC7Now, I use many versions of nLite tu test removing the Printers from Drivers, such as 0.99.7, 0.99.8, 0.99.9, v1.0 beta, v1.0 RC2, RC6, etc. Finally I found some can remove, but other can't, now I really was mad! There aren't any problems after installation completed, only can't remove the Printers component. I think maybe nLite RC8 isn't compatibility with XP Simplified Chinese Edition!

nuhi Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I will try but you haven't told me the obvious first, is it just that you see Printers listed even if removed, no other issue, Windows worked ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I tried it on Simplified Chinese and Printers were removed ok so if you are sure in your problem attach your preset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehack Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 ah this is the topic i was after!i've been using nlite since version 0.9-something, and *always* had intermittent problems with removal of printer files from the drivers.cab file. this was with win2k, and now having moved to winxp i was hoping that problem would vanish, but apparently not.to troubleshoot, i would select printers for removal, start the process, open up the drivertmp folder that nlite created, and watch to see whether the signature ppd, gpd, cn*.dll, ep*.dll, hp*.dll, etc. files were removed. almost every time, regardless of nlite version, none of the printer-specific files would be purged. sometimes, using the same nlite version, preset, and source files, they would be. there was absolutely no common factor i could find.nowadays i've gotten so frustrated with it that i just paste in a routine list of printer files that may or may not preserve pdf printing functionality (i never did see a set list), let nlite go about its business, and once every 10 times i'll get lucky and drivers.cab will actually shrink down to ~10mb instead of ~50mb, like it did just now, despite having selected printers for deletion.windows attempted:win2kpro sp4win2kpro usp5.1winxp home oem sp2winxp home oem sp2+ryanvm updatewinxp pro sp2winxp pro sp2+ryanvm updatelastsession.ini i just used - it failed to remove printers on a winxp pro sp2+ryanvm:http://www.sendspace.com/file/xv8aey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehack Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 any ideas? just tried it again, this time leaving the 'keep files' dialog completely empty (no printing files kept at all), and sure enough my driver.cab is still full of printer dll/gpd/ppd/etc. files.i'm just not sure what kind of conditional statement the code runs that could allow this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
