Nlited build behaves strangely

I have some experience with addon slipstreaming and nliting windows builds.

Having an XP VLK key yesterday I downloaded the MSDN build of xp with SP3.

While playing with nlite I noticed something strange.

My DVD builds perfectly. However when I test it on a real machine (even a virtual one) some adons don't get installed (inf addons) while others work as expected. When I say don't get installed I mean they appear on the Win Add/Rem Components but there aren't any folders on Program Files or shortcuts on Desk and Start.At first I thought it was DriverPacks fault but later testings proved me wrong. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong but with no success :blush: .

I hope somebody can clear me out. I'm attaching my nlite settings.

Regards felix

Its most likely a INF addon breaking your install, here is what I do:

If it has happened just recently I organize my addon files by date and I take note, then in your iso look for sysoc.inf expand and edit it to remove any new addons you may have integrated...this is how you dissable a addon in sysoc.inf

;CCleaner=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,CCleaner.inf,HIDE,7

After you dissabled a suspect addon you rebuild your iso and retest.

You keep doing this with each INF addon from the newest to the oldest until you find the bad addon that is breaking your installs, when you do report it

Thanks Rick

I knew how to disable addons (even how to remove them, ofcourse those that can be removed).

Anyway I found the problematic addon. It was a INF with some tweaks made by a friend of mine. It's string length exceeded the 4096 char limit for INFs thus blocking most of my addons (which came after it in integration order).

You can get around that by using a backslash (to tell it to go to the other line) in your AddReg, here is an example in my Spanish UpdatePack
