MCE 2005 with nLite

[michal_banszel]

Hi!

I want to install MCE 2005, and as I sow the only difference is that in folder "cmpnents" id CD 2 there is "mediactr" which contains MCE 2005 stuff. So I compiled windows XP Pro with nLite and I've put "mediactr" into "cmpnents" folder. Will it work right now or I have to do something alse to make windows installer "see" that it has to install MCE from "cmpnents" folder?

Greetings

Mike

copy both cds in a directory and open the txtseup.sif.

search for the following items:

[SourceDisksNames.x86]
1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
2 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i3 86
3 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i3 86
4 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i 386

and change this to

[SourceDisksNames.x86]
1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
2 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i386
3 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i386
4 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i38 6
100 = %spcdname%,%spcdtagfilei%,,\i386,1

now you can use nlite to remove compenets (BUT DON'T REMOVE THE .NET FRAMEWORK!!!), add updates and create a ISO.

Enjoy!

make a folder called C:\XPMCE

copy disc 1 contents and disc 2 contents to the folder

do the nlite stuff, DONT remove WMP, or .netfx components, just burn with nlite using mce key and it'll work

you don't need to edit any sif files if you use nlite
