eXPerience PresentseXPerience Presents...TinyXP Guide==================================================Easily strip out any Windows XP (or 2000/2003) with minimal user interactionand complete control over what is removed or kept. The aim of this is, youstart out with it set to be as stripped as it can be, then if you want to,you can remove items from the Last Sessions INI file in order to keep thefunctionality in your finished ISO. If you want the fastest XP possible,then just let it all take care of the whole process itself, this is thepoint of this guide, minimal user interaction is needed!Before you can run the Start command included here, there are three requirements...1 - You need to have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed (its free).2 - You need nLite installed (nLite is only 1.45Mb in size and also, free).3 - You need to go into the Unatt folder and open the one file that is therecalled WINNT.SIF - open WINNT.SIF with notepad. Look at this and you seethat everything is split into nice neat sections. In the fourth section, withthe title - [UserData] - you will see it says ProductKey=This is laid out like so...[UserData]ProductKey=FullName=User1OrgName=Home PCComputerName=HOME_PCWhere it says ProductKey=, right after the equals sign, type your Windows XP productkey(Home or Pro) in BLOCK CAPITALS. Your text should look like this, with the codebelow beingyour key, dont just use the code I have put here, if you read it you can see it is trying totell you something...[UserData]ProductKey=TW3NT-YF1V3-D1G1T-PR0DU-CTK3YFullName=User1OrgName=Home PCComputerName=HOME_PCWhilst youre here, you can also put you forename and surname under User1 butmake sure you dont delete the double quotes, they are needed for names with a gapwhich a first and last name inevitibly will have. Also, where it says Home PC youcan put your company name if you want. Finally the ComputerName should besomethingunique to your PC.You can however leave all these things alone under [UserData] and just change theproduct key, ALWAYS YOU MUST put a key in the WINNT.SIF file or else you willnothave an unattended setup! It will halt the install and ask for a key to be typedin, thats all. This is no big deal, but can be avoided completely if you just changethe one line in the one file by adding your own key to it before you start the wholeprocess of stripping XP and making a bootable ISO file.This sounds tough... but it isnt, you have done thehardest part already by editing that WINNT.SIF file!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you know you already have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed you can skiptothe next section. If you do need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework, or download it,highlight the link below, copy it, then paste it into your internet browsers addressbar and hit enter to go there...http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...DisplayLang=enYou will see several links on this page - choose the link that says:.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)This is 23.5Mb. Once it is downloaded, it takes 5 to 10 minutes toinstall once you set the installer going... please be patient!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now you need to download and install nLite, this is only 1.45MbVisit one of the following direct links to download nLite:http://nuhi.olmik.net/new/nlite1.0rc7i.exehttp://nlite.sun.priv.at/files/nlite1.0rc7i.exehttp://1qwert.de/nLiteMirror/nlite1.0rc7i.exeIf for any reason you cannot obtain nLite from any of thoselinks, you can always just go to the nLite download page:http://www.nliteos.com/download.htmlNOTE: You must install nLite to your Program Filesfolder on your Windows drive. This is where nLite willinstall to by default. If it is not installed there,the command will not find it and the automated strippingprocess will not run properly!With the .NET Framework installed and nlite, you can begin...All you need to do is make sure your XP CD is in your CD-ROMdrive and that you do not have any other Windows discs or ISOfiles, this includes any virtual drives you might have, makesure you unmount all images from those if you have Windowsmounted as an ISO elsewhere, otherwise this will probablyresult in the wrong copy of Windows being copied.You will see an NT command script in the same folder as the text fileyou are reading now...Start.cmdWhen you double click this Start.cmd file, thats when the fun begins,heres what happens...1 - Your XP CD will copy to your Windows drive to a folder called TXP2 - nLite will start up and come to a point where you are asked to loadthe file Last Sessions.ini. This bit is easy, just navigate (in thebox that pops up) to your Windows drive (usually C) and into the TXPfolder and there it is... Last Sessions.ini. Double click the LastSessions ini file and the automated process will continue. At somepoint, nLite might stay stuck on one screen, if this happens, clicknext. That is the MOST you will ever have to do, just click Next innLite if nLite gets stuck. You might have to do this more than once!This is because the program used to automate nLite cannot possiblydetermine what the next screen will be in certain cases. It mightjust click Next, Next, Next, Next all by itself, thats what it issupposed to do and will in a few cases, but not all cases. Just clickNext (once only) if it does get stuck. that is all the user interactionthat is required, again, a child could do this! Just give it a few secondsto respond after you click Next in nLite each time you do it. Remember,try not to type or move your mouse (apart from to click next if it getsstuck!) whilst this whole process is happening.4 - nLite will get to the Finished! stage. Once this ...
