Download nLite 0.99 beta

It’s been quiet around nLite for a while. Previously, a new version was released almost every week, but version 0.98.8 beta dates back to the end of August. Today Nuhi finally released a successor, version 0.99 beta. With this program a Windows 2000, XP or 2003 installation CD can be modified. For example, unused components can be removed and service packs can be slipstreamed. This creates an installation CD that is up-to-date and with enough space to add your own programs and drivers. If everything has been adjusted to your own wishes, the whole can be written to a bootable ISO file. The program is written in C#, so Microsofts .NET Framework is required to run this program. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
