customising windows xp setup...

motorheadbiker · 19-01-2008, 07:14 PM

Recently i downloaded customised windows xp which included many softwares like firefox, winamp etc... i still need some softwares to be included in that XP setup so that i dont have to install it manually... its so obvious that those setup files r located in x:\folder\OEM\$1\ (setup files).... those setup files in that folder doesnt require any manual clicks that are required to finish the installation...say if i have .NET framework 2.0 setup in that folder and if i click that it doesnt ask me for anything... its getting installed once i open it... how is it possible?? i wanna add softwares like VLC media player, Codec packs, itunes etc to that folder,, which has to be installed automatically during windows XP setup.... how can i do that?? pls help me...

Well to start with you could look at some software called nLite. Also look at unattended setups. Both can be found easily on Google.

I knew abt nlite long back and i also tried using it...thanks for the info. But how can I create a setup which can install silently? I wil upload a sample file in a while jus for an example. Right now am using mobile to access Internet.. But tat file is present in my system.
