Here is the quick explanation of the supported entries.ini values which you can use to make your own addons for nLite. I will just list them all with brief explanations so that those who have previous experience can use the new functions.
- Fix: XP SP3 manual install (winnt32) issues. Note: I read that some of you think that nLite breaks the floppy F6 method. That is not true, it is a Windows limitation, just disable the OEM Preinstall on the Unattended - General page or integrate the driver.
- And also there is one program Known as SFXMaker 1.2 RC3 made by iuli_kyle. Just give the path of the installer and click silent switch button It detects silent switch for almost all of the applications and it can also make Swithless addons for Nlite.

nLite and vLite are freewareapplications which createcustomized installation CDs of Microsoft's Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, and Windows 7.
Overview
nLite lets users customize and remove components from theirWindows install disc, integrate updates, automate the installationprocess by entering things like the Product Key, AdministratorPassword and Region Details and install third party programsautomatically. nLite is for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 while vLite isfor WindowsVista, Windows 7 andworks partially with Windows Server 2008 as well.
Process
nLite and vLite automate the customization process. First theycopy the contents of the install disc to a folder on the user'scomputer. Then they let the user remove Windows components, tweakits options, install Windows Service Packs, patch faults, set upUnattended Details and add drivers. The user can preset the servicesettings in Windows or remove services entirely. One of the mainuses is to remove programs and components, many of which cannotnormally be removed in Windows, such as InternetExplorer, Windows Movie Maker, and WindowsMedia Player.
After applying the changes, an image file can be created or theWindows installation can be burned onto a CD.
ServicePacks
vLite v1.2 Final lets a user slipstream Windows Vista ServicePack 1 into their installation media, but it does not have supportfor slipstreaming Windows Vista Service Pack 2. However, if theuser has an original DVD with Service Pack 2 already on it, theyare able to customize that DVD. nLite lets the user slipstream anyservice packs (including XP SP3 and 2003/x64 SP2) for the Windows version they arecustomizing.
Updating
If the user has used vLite on their current Vista installation,then SP1 will not be available on Windows Update. Installation ofService Pack 2 will fail if certain components have been removedfrom the Windows Installation.
If the user removes a component, then Windows Update stillworks. It does not show updates for the components the user hasremoved, but still shows and installs updates for components theuser has kept.
Significance
nLite lets users reduce Windows' resource consumption whileretaining features that they desire. With a smaller operatingsystem footprint, more computer resources remain available forWindows programs, as well as allowing backups to complete faster.The attack surface for exploits and vulnerabilities is alsoreduced.
Another important use of nLite is for slipstreaming drivers or servicepacks onto a Windows CD. Specifically for RAID or SATA drivers, which are needed duringinstallation of Windows XP (or Windows Server 2003), as compared toother drivers, which can be installed after installation. When thecomputer has no floppy drive, slipstreaming is the only way toinstall Windows XP (which was implemented before SATA) on a SATA orRAID drive (for which Microsoft hasn't included drivers on theCD).
It is also used extensively by netbook users, for removing (from Windows XPmostly, but sometimes Vista, especially on smaller SSDs) unwantedcomponents.
