Hey guys and girls... this is gonna be my virgin post on this forum, so be gentle.
I have the same problem with that error from setup.exe saying that the Normaliz.dll is missing. This happen when trying to install windows xp, after the DriverPacks have been uncompressed over to the harddisk (using "method 2").
Im am using, in following order:
nLite 1.4 Beta to
Integrate Service Pack 2, RVMUpdatePack 2.1.11 and some microsoft KBs
Add programs Defender 1.1, Adobe Reader 8.1, UltaVNC 1.0.2, IE 7.0, Java Runtime 6, WMP 11.0.5, Messenger Live 8.1
Add various reg tweaks and create a unattended install.
DriverPack Base 7.05.2 to add following packs:
Chipset 7.06
CPU 7.04.1
Lan 7.06.2
MassStorage 7.07.2
WLan 7.06
(setting is "Method 2" and default)
nLite 1.4 Beta to create a bootable ISO, unattended winxp cd, which I then mount in VMware (have tried with a real computer as well)
That is basically it. I was not including Driverpacks in the mix before, and it worked fine, without problems, but since both the ide and Driverpacks is so brilliant, I had to try it. But ran into this little problem.
When googling Normaliz.dll alot of text seems to be related to IE7.
Here is my DPs_BASE.log:

2007-07-19 08:20:17 : Program terminated.Oh well... thats my story.. Now here is the solution:
Copy Normaliz.dll from a working XP installation (located in windows\system32\normaliz.dll) and copy it over to where you keep your "ready-to-make-iso-folder" and place the Normaliz.dll in a new folder architecture that looks like this: $OEM$\$$\System32
So that your finish result might look something like this: C:\[XPCDFOLDER]\$OEM$\$$\System32\Normaliz.dll
What this does it simple: it copies whatever is after the "$$" into where Windows is install on the computer, so the file is no longer missing by windows. Some easy short reading about it on http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/18/
Thats that!!
Good job everyone involved in the DriverPacks projekt! Awsome stuff... would give birth to your children if I was physically able.. Keep up the good work! :)
