Running nlite from Windows 7

[titaniumx3]

Hi,

I'm looking to make an XP 32bit SP3 CD using nlite for another PC, but I only currently have Win 7 installed on my PC.

Is there any danger in running nlite from within Windows 7? Will it mess around with any system files or anything?

Yeah I am paranoid, but if anyone has done this before please let me know!

nlite doesn't do anything to your system files in Windows 7, it has no reason to. It only works on files within the directory you specify that contains the files from your Windows XP disk. Have you ever used NLite before?

I used it once before but from within XP. Hmmm, maybe confusing it with something else, but I'm sure when I tried slipstreaming one of the service packs, it was installing something, like a windows dialogue came up for the service pack installation.

A dialog box does indeed appear on screen when slipstreaming the service pack into the XP folder. It doesn't, however, affect or alter any of the operating system files, Windows 7 in your case. It only alters, updates or changes files in the target XP source folder.
