About this tag
nLite is a tool for customizing Windows installation discs, commonly used to slipstream service packs, integrate drivers (especially SATA/RAID controllers), and remove unwanted components. Forum discussions cover using nLite to create unattended XP installs, resolve missing driver errors during setup, and strip down Windows 7 ISOs. Users often pair nLite with driver packs or switchless addons to streamline deployment. While primarily associated with XP, some threads explore its use with Windows 7. Troubleshooting topics include extracting .inf files, handling iaStor.sys errors, and combining nLite with other integrators like RVM Integrator.
