Well, where to begin... I've attempted to nliten my windows install unsuccessfully at least (no kidding!) 30 times now. All goes well in MS Virtual PC and Even VMWare aside from skipping the OOBE at start up, I've read thats caused by the screen resolution unable to reach 640*480. So, when i attempt to install via burned cd-rw (even tried regular cd-r) windows installs, skips the OOBE, then appears as though nothing is installed. What i mean is the GUI looks 98ish no wall paper no quick launch, and beyond that there is nothing installed but the bare minimum. Windows folder is 518mb, Program Files empty, Documents and Setting empty, IE6 not installed, OE not installed. Only thing in Programs menu is Startup/Accessories, under Accessories, Communications/Entertainment/Systemtools all of which are empty. Can anyone explaine what might be happening. Burning wrong?

FYI ive been using nlite for over a year with great success this only since 1.0.1

Last_Session.ini

No ideas? Anyone?

So in 30 times you didn't try disabling page by page and by that pin-point what is that that makes you problems so that we can see is it nlite bug or your mistake.

For starters try without any of the addons, then the Options page, I see you're using Services page, that's quite dangerous if setup wrongly.

Don't forget to report if lets say one of the addons is causing that so that I may check.

Of course every time use clean xp with sp2.

I did try some troubleshooting, sorry i failed to mention. i did break it down to at least drivers, component removal or update section. And possibly patches but i doubt it. I didnt try any further cause i was tired of completely reinstalling windows and the nlite procedure everytime it didnt work. It always works in VMware or VPC

Start -> Run -> setuperr.log

Empty or not ?

instead of installing in vmware from an ISO, try it from the CD you burned and see if it still works??

I did try that it installs fine in virtual/vm but not for real install

Ok i tried last night with remove components/drivers/unatted and the problem is still there im leaning towards my driver package. is there a order to how i should add my drivers or does it matter. ive always used the same drivers and even downloaded fresh ones incase the others were corrupted.

I've run into this a couple of times (on rare occations) but usually I was just able to run windows setup again and it came out fine. But if you pinpoint the issue, let us know.
