Download nLite 1.0 beta 5

“Probably nLite 1.0 beta 5 will be the last version before the 1.0 final comes out. Unfortunately, RyanVM has a problem with its hard drive, otherwise its latest update pack (version 1.3.0) would have been released simultaneously with this beautiful piece bits and bytes.” Said zenlord, pointing us to the release of the fifth beta version of nLite. This program can be used to customize a Windows 2000, XP or 2003 installation CD. For example, unused components can be removed and service packs can be slipstreamed. This creates an installation CD that is up-to-date and has enough space to add your own programs and drivers. If everything has been adjusted to your own liking, the whole can be written to a bootable iso file. The program is written in C# which makes it necessary to use the Microsoft .NET Framework installed to have. In nLite 1.0 beta 5, the following changes have been made compared to beta 4:
