In further efforts to make NTLite work natively out of the box, without any additions,  there have been important updates in builds 2072 and 2074.
Those fixes resolve issues with integration and feature configuration when running the tool from Windows 7sp1 as a host, while editing Windows 8.1, in various combinations of 32/64-bit.
Also now installer has a portable mode option to just extract files, without deploying Start Menu shortcuts or Uninstaller.
 
Let me know on the forums if you find some host+image Windows version combination that doesn’t work fully.
 
Thanks.
