Hi all,
I am using NTLite trial version to try to create an updated version of Windows 7 for myself.
I did some testing and loaded a Windows 7 installation DVD image onto my hard disk by just copying all files on the DVD onto the hard disk.
I used that with NTLite and added a bunch of updates.
Then, to save space, I removed a bunch of not wanted Windows 7 versions, like "Home Edition", etc.
Well, the resulting image file was still way too big, like 5.5GB.
So wanted to start the process from scratch.
I wanted to load the Windows 7 installation DVD image again with NTLite, expecting it to give me the full selection of available Windows versions again. You know, "Home Edition", "Professional", Ultimate", etc. But anytime I try, NTLite does not give me the full selection of all Windows versions in the Windows image anymore. It keeps showing ONLY the version that I did not delete in my first attempt. Like, HEY! I want to start new!!!
Before I "removed" all versions except "Professional".
Now I want to maybe do a "Home" or "Ulitmiate" edition, but I can't get NTLite to display the other versions in the image again.
I tried everything. I clicked "Forget" on any line, item and file in NTLite.
I deleted all the Presets.
I completely unistalled NTLite, with all preferences, and re-installed. it.
No matter what I do, I cannot get NTLite to display all versions of Windows in the Windows Image that I copied to my hard disk anymore. And I'm sure NTLite didn't delete actual components of the Windows Image, because I set all file properties to read-only.
Considering that even a full uninstall of NTLite does not resolve the problem, obviously, NTLite stores some selection choices in hidden Registry Keys.
Does anyone know where the hidden NTLite registry keys are so I can actually restart the process from scratch and get the full list of available Windows versions again?
Regards,
TD
