nLited XP installs for a cab
rockin_rick:
I just tried using Nlite to remove some of the excess for my MAME computer (during initial install), but I get an error when trying to install the VIA hyperionpro 5.10A drivers on the Win XP Pro system (after nlite's package is all installed). It comes up with an error dialog box that says "Sorry, some importand files of this package are missed. Please download the package again to contact with the service provider. Please press OK to terminate the setup wizard." (the spelling/grammer errors are theirs, not my typing). Then once you click OK, another dialog box comes up that is titled "Feature transfer error" and reads "Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information."
I went through and disabled things in the nlite options (almost the same as the options listed by drewkaree, but perhaps some different here and there...) I have an above average knowledge of windows administration and I was fairly aggressive with the services disabling, but I checked each one against Black Vipers description and started/disabled each accordingly. I have since tried restarting several ones and re-running the via hyperion setup program, but it still comes up with that error. Anyone know what I need to turn on/reinstall to get this to work?
I got my ArcadeVGA drivers installed fine before I tried installing these via drivers (probably should have installed the via drivers first...)
Thanks,
Rick

As a footnote, I started the windows installer service and still got this error. I also downloaded the most recent version of the hyperionpro drivers and still got the error.
Thanks,
Rick

You would be better served posting this in nLite's forums. The limited number of people doing this here as well as the possibility/probability of someone not having the same hardware or experience is most likely going to result in a less-than-satisfactory answer to a very specific problem.
If I had to give a non-educated guess, you removed something (or compressed cab files) that your driver you're having issues with require unfettered access to. There's also an issue that I can't remember what caused it, and it has to do with removing/not installing some component of Windows that "breaks" .msi types of installers. Again, this is a non-educated guess.
Good luck!

Yeah, their forums would be the best bet (didn't think of that... or even realize they had forums). I thought that maybe someone here might have had the same experience, as these are chipset drivers that all VIA chipset boards should have installed. But, like you said, maybe I am overestimating the number of people here trying this...
FWIW and hopefully others benefit, this has been with XP Pro and SP1 all along. No network stuff at all. I have since created another nlited install with more things activated, more services running, and with anything that seemed like it might be the cause, but it still gave the error. I then tried a non-nlited (normal) XP gold (AKA SP0). It didn't cause that error. I am now in the process of trying a slipstreamed XP with SP1 with nothing else at all modified. We'll see....
If I get this figured out, I'll post the solution here.
Thanks,
Rick

Is there any benefit to adding any updates or service packs to XP?
I would blindly assume that all those service packs and updates are to help their crappy web browser and other things we MAMErs don't use on our cabs.
Have you tried the different versions of TinyXP? They may suit you with much less work.
Cheers,
Craig
