Where can I get nLite presets?

[MikeHunt79]

Half the time I try to nLite XP I remove too much stuff and it dosn't work properly.

Are there any presets I can download which will save me the hassle of going thru hundreds of options and just work?

there may be some on the msfn forums, but it's really not too hard to trial and error it

either use re-writable disks, or install from a USB key

The check boxes it has that stop you removing some vital stuff are handy. Otherwise just don't go mad, you don't need to remove anything that doesn't get installed or can be easily stopped such as drivers, languages and services. And most of the tweaks can be easily done post install.

There probably won't be any official presets as each PC will be different. Check out the nLite forums but otherwise below makes sense.

use the compatibility options and then only tick a red one if you know you don't need it

leave the services settings as default

Ok, I've given it another go, and it now works... 200ish meg and it works. Thanks.

FWIW, I found some copied and pasted .ini files that seemed to work, but even then I had to fiddle around a little to get unattended to do what it says it does.

I got mine down to 165mb without touching most of the red options.
