Sorry for the late post but I've been trying many alternate ways. As of now I'm desperate asking this:

Could you (or another feel like doing it) do the same procedure as i have? I guess if you follow the same procedure as me, there's at least one chance you'd experience the same problem.

I also didn't recieve any relevant answer to my problem in MSFN, also it's hard to find anyone with the same problem: Their search isn't really the best one.

You're loosing OOBE because of nLite.

Open your winnt.sif and/or your UNATTEND.TXT files inside the i386 directory on your CD.  This should be at the top:

[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=ProvideDefault
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    UnattendSwitch=No
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS

[GuiUnattended]
    OemSkipWelcome=0
    OEMSkipRegional=0
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

The important parts here are UnattendedInstall, UnattendedMode, OemSkipWelcome, and OEMSkipRegional.

If you change the unattendmode value to something like FullUnattended then you lose OOBE.  You might also loose OOBE if you use DefaultHide and ReadOnly as well).  Likewise if you change OemSkipWelcome to 1, you will skip OOBE.  If you make OemPreinstall no, then your $OEM$ folders won't be copied.

Good luck.

Hi!

Though i set everything as good i could, i still get passed OOBE. These are my settings:

To add, does integration with IE7 and it's updates matter? I had an issue months earlier where the IE7 couldn't integrate well with nLite (if it's related that is) until 1-2 monhts ago, it got soemwhat fixed. But i wouldn't doubt there could be conflict somewhere nowadays.

I also tried replace "DefaultHide" with "ProvideDefault" but it got somehow reversed, i don'tk now any other settings well suited.

Edit:

Wait a minute: My settings are even changed, how that happened i dunno. Ignore this post while i check around.

Edit2: Alright here's my settings, but still got passed OOBE.

I'm trying to make a well updated XP of mine, I've an XP version right after SP2 was released, so all the updates after the released have been downloaded by "Windows Updates Downloader". I also have custom install with several applications through "$OEM$" directory in the source.

But everytime I've combined DriverPacks Masstorage drivers and updates intergration with nLite i always loose the "OOBE" (Out Of Box Experience) and automatically logon as admin with no network connection and Windows classic theme, but this is only with both software.

I've tested these steps and still have no clue what i should do to get around it and I'm not gonna play in the registry to automatically create my account.

-------------------------------
Downloads all the necessary updates from "Windows Updates Downloader".
Integrate all the updates through nLite.
Automatic Installation with only key integration (nothing else is touched).
Settings/Options (I'm using the swedish version so bear with me, it's the field ritght below automatic) with patched TCP/IP, UxTheme, USB Hertz (1000) and disabled file protection (it's annoying).
Integrate Masstorage drivers with DriversBASE and set the drivers with text mode support.
Creates a bootable ISO.
Testing it with VMware.
-------------------------------

Now everything is up-to-date, both with DriverBASE (7.0.5.2) and masstorage (7.09) as well nLite 1.3.5
