I started by gathering the various programs I want to use in one
convenient location sorted by Windows install on hard drive, portable
install on hard drive and portable install on thumb drive.
I also have set up a new folder with subfolders for nLite, XP Pro, SP3
and the one nLite add-on I can find. I thought there was a WMP 11
add-on but I can't find it. Would prefer that to getting it via Win
Update. I can't think of anything else I can slipstream that I really
need. Can you?
Some stuff, unfortunately can not be slipstreamed (as far as I
know)... CA Security Suite, MS Office, Snag-it, my attachment
extractor and dupe picture detector etc.
I will slip stream everything I can, create an ISO, burn to a bootable
CD and then install it. Next I'll install security software and
everything else that needs a Windows install and then everything that
gets a portable install.
Then I will run Windows Update and Security Suite update. Then update
everything else.
By then I hope I have ATI 11 and can make a clone.
Have you used the sandbox in ATI 11 yet? Is it better than MS VPC
2007?
Once that is all done and I am happy, Can I use the clone to create a
dual boot on a second hard drive or do I need to use the CD and
install it? The Disk Director Suite has a boot manager, if the
Windows boot manager doesn't like the clone will the DD manager?
I'm gonna try to do the slipstreaming Monday before I go to work.
I've read a lot of portable app descriptions and many noted that some
things were written to the registry. I don't think I picked any of
those. But I will watch as I progress.
