Tested Nlite Setup with Geovision 8.3.3 and XP SP3

Updated: April 3rd, 2011

 

This is not an image of Windows XP, this is an Nlite configuration file. Visit the Nlite Website or the Nlite Forum for Nlite support. This includes the settings file and a sample user file without the product key. It is ready to go as is, just open Nlite and point it to your XP SP3 Setup source, then import this session file.

 

This is suggested for intermediate and advanced users only. It is also suggested that one tests the ISO within a Virtual PC prior to the physical install. This is based off my Exlite configuration which was originally created for the Eee PC 2G and 4G netbooks. This has been recreated for and tested on a Dell Optiplex 755 with GeoVision 8.3.3 and a GV1120-16 card.

 

Memory use is not much less then a full XP SP3 tweaked, but overall performance and more importantly security is much better. In the past I had issues networking this type of setup but I was able to get this version networked with no issues.

 

Please note it is still a stripped down XP so there will be some common features missing, such as System Restore, Remote Desktop, Terminal Services, Internet Explorer, etc. Many features can be added back in but there are some that would make it easier reinstalling Windows, so before you use this, think about what you might want to do in the future - this should be a decent setup for most applications though.

 

NOT TESTED WITH IP CAMERAS but the Geo IP camera software and MS DOTnet 3.5 installs fine.

 

Notes:

 

Folders safe to delete from i386:

COMPDATA, DRW, LANG (unless using languages), WINNTUPG, WIN9XUPG, WIN9XMIG

 

For features that are removed, to leave them in, comment them out in the INI using a semi colon ( or remove them from the INI file by deleting the line, or within Nlite by unchecking them. Do the same to remove features that have been added such as the Tweaks.

 

Features:

 

OOBE is removed

If you want to show the OOBE at the final stage of setup (allows creating new users, activation, etc), leave in OOBE, and within Nlite's Unattended section use HIDE PAGES and uncheck Hide OOBE.

 

Manual Install and Upgrade is Removed (needed for USB installs)

Tweaks are added

 

Unlike the Exlite configuration, Printer support, Networking, and all other Hardware support has been left in this setup. The Drivers section is safely removed as you will be adding your own.

 

Help is removed which means when you click on the ? for help in the GeoVision server software, it will do nothing. These are the 2 features which install Help:

Help and Support

Help Engine

 

All additional Languages and Keyboards are removed. This setup was geared towards North America. You can add back in your Language or Keyboard as you need. Change your locales and unattended settings from within Nlite if needed.
