Download nLite 0.99.5 beta

Beta 0.99.5 of nLite has been released on Home of nuhi. This program can be used to customize a Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003 installation CD. For example, unused components can be removed and service packs can be slipstreamed. This creates an installation CD that is up-to-date and has enough space to add your own programs and drivers. When everything is adjusted to your liking, the whole thing can be written to an ISO file and burned to a CD or DVD that is ultimately bootable from the computer. The program is written in C# which makes it necessary to use the Microsoft .NET Framework installed to have. Below are the release notes of the 0.99.5 beta version:
