A new way to Slipstream your XP cd with your setting

[ForumMaster]

I fount this site that shows you how to slipstream an xp cd. so now you are probablly asking, so what? well here's the cool part, it let's you do it with the driver for your hardware, key already in place, persolanlized settings, time-zone, regional settings and so on. It shows you how to get rid of all the non-sense windows installs (msn messenger, all the games and the other things you don't need.). try it out and create your own personalized xp cd.

Screw the site (though it is very good) just head to nliteos.com and get the nlite app that makes it simple as pie.

hmm. ur right. it so cool though. i can create a personalized windows installation. i guess and image might be better, but still.

I use Nliteos and the unattended MSFN forums together to get my windows installation how I want it... its easy to add in much of the automation code into nLite. nLite doesnt do everything but it does A LOT of customization, and it makes it easy. For automation you pretty much need to do it for yourself then add it in....

as an example here are a few of my run once commands:

start /wait %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Updates\dotnet11sp1.exe
start /wait %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Updates\MP10Setup\setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore
start /wait msiexec /i %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\IP55_32Eng\IP55.msi TRANSFORMS=%SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\IP55_32Eng\IP55.mst /q /norestart
start /wait msiexec /i %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Drivers\Display\ACE\ATICCC.msi /quiet /norestart
start /wait msiexec /i %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Applications\thunderbird-1.5.msi /quiet
start /wait msiexec /i %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Applications\Firefox-1.5.0.1.msi /quiet
start /wait %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=%SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Office2003\MyTransforms.MST /qb-
start /wait msiexec /i "%SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Applications\AdbeRdr707_en_US_distrib\Adobe Reader 7.0.7.msi" /quiet
start /wait %SOURCE%OEMINSTALL\Applications\jre-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1

I find that customizing the runonce stuff is easiest if you run through the program once and then open up the last_session.ini file and adding in all the commands you would like it to run. Then running it again and only modifing the silent install files and writing the image.

I know this is a repost, cuz I'm pointed people here to that site many times.

no, an image would not be better. Go here and read the section "What about disk imaging?" to find out why.
