Definately!

This is how I got started with all this, all by myself and without the help of a forum (I'm not so much the asking guy, I rather read and comprehend).
Now, I wouldn't call myself computer illiterate at the point when I started with XP customization, and I must admit I skipped begginers and went directly to intermediate, but for a true newbie, I think nothing beats that guide, really!

Unless, of course, you're still having trouble finding the power button on your machine...

i think it is the;

"This way every newbie user will have a good platform to create their first "complete" install CD/DVD's without need for complications and for those who value customizations this becomes a very handy tool to quickly create very complex results and share them with others."

Though I am in my 50's I would consider myself a newbie in this area. I am sorry , but it is not for newbies. If it were I would be able to create the installation with all the driver packs, and any other components that I wanted with out having to bounce back and forth from website to site and forum to forum. I am sure it is more then helpful for those that are not "newbies" I have been unable to recover my drive as the partition recovery gives errors and the recovery cds recreate the errors and will not allow me to reinstall...so I have been trying to re-create a winxp install cd with drivers and such and slipstream sp3 and a few other software that I have purchased and re-install and remove the partition using my winxp key. but there is no one set of instructions that are truly understandable to someone who lacks the requisite knowledge that all of you have. or rather that takes you through the entire process without having to bounce all around the net for every little paragraph.

I will get to work on the tutorial as soon as I get some free time which should be later today, if not, then tomorrow. Is there a particular section you would like me to post the tutorial in?

Hi Echo_Platoon,

Very good to hear that an alternative to the restrictive FAT16 and 2Gb limitation is possible.

Maybe a tutorial on boot land would be a good idea to teach others (including myself) your used method.

Would be nice to maybe attempt to also automate all the steps on the uxp project for example.

Be well.

@Nuno Brito: If you are interested, I figured out how to make a multi-boot USB Flash Drive (UFD), so you could have several different versions of say BartPE on one UFD, which is formatted using FAT32. I have it use FAT32 so you could use drives larger than 4 GB in size, which is a limitation of FAT16X, which PE to USB uses. At my work, we have UFDs that are 8 GB and needed to get several versions of BartPE to work. Another reason for making the multi-boot UFD is my work is using PointSec for hard drive encryption and have several different versions of PointSec being used but aren't backwards compatible. If you would like, I could share this information. I am a member of Boot Land, so I could post it there if you would like.

Hi Siginet!

If you liked wb just wait for next stable release. On our beta testings the script processing speed has been reduced to half - which means that a huge project like uxp would take a little more than 10~20 minutes to complete a full boot disk.

Basically what i planned on doing was allowing Addon creators the possability to refference a txt file hosted somewhere that the integrator would download which would hold any info on updated versions of the addon and so on. Then the integrator would simply download the update.

Yes, we're doing this with wb scripts.

Each wb project has a server to download files from. On the root of the folder there is a text file that will list all files that are supposed to be present on the server along with their respective versions. If it's a binary file then we use MD5 for a quick checksum compare with the file on disk (if any).

@Nuno Brito do you think there could be some way on implementing the RVM Integrator or Windows XP PowerPacker into your project?

Sure there is, Carfan from boot-land has become the UXP project manager and already began working on the next version since two weeks ago. Now it's the perfect time to add more tools such as yours.

If you get in contact with him, I'm sure you'll both get along quite well.

On my side, I'll be working on the winbuilder beta and stay around to explain whatever doubts you have regarding anything wb related.

UXP is one of my favorite projects so it would be a honor to see included some of your tools on this platform.

I have used WinBuilder recently and I think it is amazing work. It actually is simular to an Idea that I was wanting to do for the RVM Integrator and Addons.

Then the integrator would simply download the update. Winbuilder fits into that Idea perfectly and is very well thought out and put together. :thumbsup:

DriverPacks are my main influence as to why I ever started creating my utilities. I have used BartPE for many years now too and just recently tried LiveXP.

So if we can also combine our 2 worlds together that would be awsome!

Windows Post-Install Wizard is also in the process of being automated.

A tool to batch convert nLite addons into WPI packages was created to ease automated creation of a config.js file needed by WPI.
