nLite 1.4.5 beta 2

nLite lets you choose which components to remove from your Windows before installation. Removing unneeded components you gain on your system speed and security. You can make a bootable ISO with it and even easy slipstream Service pack with a click of a button. You can easily automate CDKey and other personal information so that your installation gets unattended. Latest versions support driver and hotfix integration as well. Very useful to create CD containing SATA/RAID drivers so you don't need that old floppy drive.

Have you ever wanted to remove Windows components like Media Player, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer, Messenger...
How about not even to install them with Windows ?

nLite is a tool for permanent Windows components removal and pre-installation Windows configuration. After removal there is an option to make bootable image ready for burning on cd or testing in virtual machines.
With nLite you will be able to have Windows installation which on install does not include, or even contain on cd, the unwanted components.
