ISO size increase

[QuantumX]

Hey guys. I've been using nLite for about a year now and have had no real issues. Today, however, I've taken a streamed W2k3 server CD with SP2 and tried to create a cusomized install. The streamed iso size is 627,848KB. Using nLite 1.3 Final I created a cusomized install removing Languages, Keyboards, and other fluff. When it finished, I an iso size of 1,099,392KB. I've tried this a couple of times, not believing that I'd end up with a much bigger image than when I started.

I'm attaching the session .ini files that where created. Any insights?

I just tried your preset on 2k3 sp2 and the size was actually 100MB smaller than the original.

Check your folder, which subfolder it has except I386,PRINTERS and Support?

Hey thanks for the reply. The folders I see are DOC (empty), I386, Printers, and Support. When I run the procedure, it does say the image was reduced by 100MB, which is good, it's just that the resulting .iso is over a GB. I don't necessarily think it's a problem with nLite............. but it's confusing me!

I bet it's cuz I have to original .iso in the same directory It stands to reason, that everything in the main folder is used to create the new .iso file.

<clears throat> aaa.. move along, nothing to see here. Thanks
