Thread: Want more space/speed then nLite 0.99.5b offers?

Awesome. I've already started as well.
I'm selecting all groups and components for groups. I'm in the middle of getting resources for group.

Here's the xml structure.

Code:

<Groups>
<Group guid="12345" name="group name">
	<Component guid="12345" name="component name">
		<Resource type="file" value="C:\windows\thefile.ext">
		<Resource type="regKey" value="HKEYLocalMachine\Stuff">
		<Dependent guid="54321">
		<Dependent guid="11111">
	</Component>
	...more components
</Group>
<Group guid="54321" name="the next group">
... more components
</Group>
</Groups>

When an item is selected, it would be nice to have the app check if there are any other components that depend on it still on the system and provide a warning. That's why I included the Dependent element.
I'm still looking into the resources. I'm trying to decipher the resultset from the "GetResourceProps" stored procedure.
Once I get that figured I'll get you a file without the dependants. Then I'll move on the research dependants.

Looking good ... The GUI is pretty much done, just working on disabling and enabling Windows File Protection

I'll post some screenies as soon as I got some sample data

sounds good guys, so will this be used with nlite...im a little confused on this

Will cease development of the app I was going to work on as this sounds like it will supercede it .... let me know if you need any help.

camsgs3, this program is for after your installation.
nlite creates the installation CD, then you install windows, then you run this program to remove even more stuff.

The purpose of this app is to remove more files from XP, that for some reason nLite was unable to.

The app will be a post installation application that should allow you to strip those extra MB's. I'm attempting to get my OS and Apps on a 256CF (knubile a 512CF i think) and would appreciate a point, click and remove GUI for stripping XP further ... thus the necessity for an app like this.

UPDATE: Can successfully turn Windows File Protection on and off in SP2 (about to check SP1 and if I can an pure XP install)

Nice ... but check out UK_MP3Car's sig ... "XP UltraLite"

I'm using a 1G card. A 512 would be way better. I'm only off by about 60 megs. This is including all the codecs, .Net and windows media player.
The OS itself freshliy installed is down to 380megs so far.
