This reply follows Zhoerd's line of investigation.

I agree with your assessment of where the problem lies but am not entirely clear on your solution. I, too, have a solution which is shared below, however, my lack of deep understanding of how XP creates user profiles doesn't leave me with the ability to state my solution is a 100% fix. I, too, would be interested in anyone elses comments on the subject.

As to my approach,

RC6 of nlite.inf adds the registry entries of section C when the nliteReg section is executed (in cmdlines.txt) - RC8 of nlite.inf ONLY adds the registry entries of section C when the nlite section is executed. so I modified the line "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,nLiteReg" in cmdlines.txt to "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,nLite". by doing this, I can ensure that the Default Profile's RunOnce registry entries are populated with the nlpo_01 to nlpo_10 commands to be executed the first time any user logons.

at this point, Zhoerd and my solution diverge,

I don't add any additional lines to cmdlines.txt. it is not clear to me why you would want to execute section R of nlite.inf (via executing "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,S") which clears the Default User's RunOnce registry entries. I want the Default User profile to always have its RunOnce registry entries populated so that any new user will likewise have their RunOnce registry entries populated. Just to be sure, I have commented out section R of nlite.inf.

Further, as the nlite section of nlite.inf is executed from cmdlines.txt while logged on as the Default User, I thought it might be "cleaner" to add the nlpo_01 to nlpo_10 commands to HKCU rather than directly to HKU.

Finally, similarly to Zhoerd, I have deleted the final two nlpo commands from section C - all they appear to do is rerun nlite.inf sections T, H & B each time a user logons - is this really necessary? - and continue to delete the Default User's RunOnce registry entries (through section R), which I don't want delete anyways.

Anyhow, I would be very interested in any additional, constructive contributions to this issue.

Like you all I get this error when regular users login. Does anyone know if this been fixed in 1.0.1? If not can some one let me know a dummys guide to the workarounds mentioned as I can't follow them easily. I have found the nlite.inf file but opening this up in Notepad I just get garbled text (code).

Just tried to download RC7 to try this version out but the links to the old releases has dissapeared.

Many thanks.

UPDATE: I have tried 1.0.1 and the problem is still present. Finally found an old mirror with RC7 and this works fine.

I get a similar error which says:

Advanced INF: Access Denied

but can't find anything obvious that relates to it :S

I use BTS's DriverPacks and RogueSpears AutoImage so its hard to troubleshoot which is causing the problem

AutoImage doesn't seem to be the problem tho, so I'm thinking it might be a issue with BTS or with nlite.

Any ideas how i can find out?

Cheers

Has there been any luck with this? I'm having problems with the INF Install Failure.

[SyKik]

yeah i'm encountering this problem too now, having been trying to take it in stages so I can spot when it is breaking, but still working on that

could possibly be after i've slipstreamed BTS Driverpacks in though, but yet to be confirmed for sure

edit.....

have double checked txtsetup.sif, and nlite.inf is listed in there...

second edit..

oh double fun...as a test, i stripped out the $oem$ folder, and tested again, no advanced inf error seen

edit...11th Aug...

nailed it to the Adobe Reader 9 Lite installation...for some reason if I included this in the GUIRunOnce installation, it would eventually generate that error. Moved it to cmdlines and now fine, even when creating a new user and logging in...no error seen
