    Thumbs up nLite - this is must have software!

    nLite


    I can't take the credit for finding this, it was in this months CustomPC. But I though I would share it with people that have not seen it.

    Have you ever wanted to remove some Windows components like Media Player, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer, Messenger...

    How about not even to install them with Windows ?

    nLite is a GUI for permanent Windows component removal by your choice. After removal there is an option to make bootable image ready for burning on cd or testing in virtual machines. With nLite you will be able to have Windows installation which on install doesn't include, or even contain on cd, unwanted components.

    nLite Features

    - Service Pack Integration
    - Component Removal
    - Unattended Setup
    - Driver Integration *
    - Hotfixes Integration **
    - Tweaks
    - Patches ***
    - Bootable ISO creation

    * - Textmode (CD Boot) and normal PnP
    ** - only new type 1 hotfixes (for example XP post SP2)
    ***- supports generic SFC, Uxtheme, TcpIp and Usb Polling patching.

    So far it supports Windows 2000, XP x86/x64 and 2003 x86/x64 (all languages !). Longhorn will be supported when it reaches RTM.

    nLite has been around for ages and there were quite a few threads and discussions about it on Hexus already.

    Oooh, I even mentioned it in a Dec 04 thread!

    I have used it. ITs pretty darn nice. I had to waste a CD or 2 though. But on the third try boom...my install cd with sp1a slipstreamed went from 550mb to 150 mb with SP2 slipstreamed. The Windows install took like 1.92 gigs of hdd space. I am gonna make another cd soon that gets rid of all drivers and other what nots...if I need to install something I can go grab it from the web.

    sounds groovy, but all of those things can be done without it.
