Hi there,

I am having similar problems to you. Whenever I use my Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD with nLite, it always gives me 2 errors. One says that the CAB file in the i386 directory of the Windows XP installation files is corrupted and then the preceding error, which I assume is related to the first error, reads: "CabLib Extract ERROR while extracting files from cabinet archive: Corrupt cabinet."

I am no nLite Pro, and there probably is a simple explanation for this, so if there is, please tell me. I'm sorry I can't solve your problem Diablo1, but I think that someone is bound to solve it eventually. Keep searching the net, you may just find a solution!

macfanboy and diablo1, I suspect you have violated one or more of my inculcations, so, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

One line of thinking (not necessarily true) would be that it is a CD read/write error, since that is the largest file and most easily hit by a bad bit.

Don't worry, I'm sure he had plenty of time to sort it out (almost two years).

But welcome to you to this forum.

My advice would be to re-copy the files from your original XP CD, and/or verify the CD's integrity. Check your computer for viruses, and (as a last resort) temporarily disable your antivirus while working with nLite (there were some reports in the past that AV programs interfered with nLite's operation).
