Using nLite on WinXP installation w/ Parallels?

Hi. Has anyone tried using nLite to compress Windows XP prior to installation on their Mac (running XP under Parallels)? I'm thinking of trying it, but before going through the process, I'm wondering how easy it is and if it provides any noticeable performance boost by reducing the WinXP OS footprint.

You would probably do better posting in the BootCamp forum.
We deal with Leopard here, primarily Installation and Setup.
Compressing XP is a bit off base and has nothing to do with Leopard.
Here's the BC forum link

  • Can we do oracle 11g software installation in parallel to SAP upgrade

    Hi Basis Expert,
    I need your inputs for one of this query
    The query is. Can we do oracle 11g software installation in parallel to SAP upgrade when the system is in Downtime phase.
    The idea is running SAP upgrade and in parallel running oracle 11g software installation. So that we can reduced the time.
    Please share your valuable inputs.
    Regards,
    Anil Shenoy.

    yes, of course.
    using different environment during the installation of the new engine, you could install the new oracle home 11 also tomorrow (including the SBP).
    infact, before the ./RUNINSTALLER you have to set the environment
    setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/SID/112_64
    setenv ORACLE_HOME_SRC /oracle/SID/102_64
    setenv ORACLE_HOME_TGT /oracle/SID/11202
    setenv  LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LIBPATH
    setenv PATH /oracle/SID/112_64/bin: $PATH

  • Still using Tiger 10.4.11, with Parallels 2.0 (build 3214)...

    Hi, All:
    I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet - I'm still using Tiger (10.4.11) with Parallels 2.0 (build 3214) so that I can run Windows XP (so that I can use Quicken for Windows).
    I'd like to upgrade to Leopard, but I am reticent to do so because of having Windows XP on-board. Quicken is essential, and everything works fine together, at present.
    Any suggestions on the most painless way to upgrade to Leopard? How hard is it to reinstall Windows afterward (and should I do so via BootCamp or should I buy a new copy of Parallels [or the other VM brand]?). What about keeping all the Mac software I already have on my MacBook (MS Office 2004, Adium, HandBrake, Carbon Copy Cloner, CleanApp, SuperDuper, etc.).
    Sorry if this has been asked a jillion times before...

    There is no reason why you'd lose your XP installation. Your XP virtual drive should be located in your Documents folder.
    By default the installation CD will just upgrade your current OS. Since parallels is installed as an application and some info in your user space this won't be effected.
    Alternately when you upgrade you have three options.
    1) Upgrade (this is the default and will just install your new OS overtop the old but keep all your old applications and user settings and home directory).
    2) Archive and install (this will archive your user directory and then install a new system you'll have to move all you user files into a new user directory).
    3) Erase and install. (you will lose everything since this erases your drive don't select this option)

  • Using mapviewer with database installation only ?

    using mapviewer with database installation only ?
    i have installed oracle database 11g on windows
    the enterprise manager already relies on the ocj4 ('http://orcl:1158/em')
    if i open 'http://orcl:1158' i get the start page for the appllication server - by clicking on 'manage applications' i come to the enterprise manager start page (i thinked, i can uplaod some ear application file, sinve oc4j is present for the em)
    its possible to install the mapviewer.ear with this database installation only (since the oc4j is present for the em) - or i have to install the oc4j too?
    thx

  • Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

    Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
    Thanks

    Hi Kim,
    According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
    For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
    refer to the link below:
    Work with SQL Server Named Instances
    Reference:
    Understanding SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

  • Using bootcamp without the installation disc.

    My school allows me to download windows XP for free, so I did so and put it on an external hard drive. Is there anyway I can use bootcamp to install XP from the hard drive, or do I need an installation disc?
    Thanks

    Hi stribs,
    BootCamp needs a Windows Installation CD/DVD since it has to boot your Mac from that CD/DVD during installation.
    Ask your school if the downloaded Windowsd package can be used to burn an installation CD.

  • How to run WinXP Pro on iMac using both Boot Camp and Fusion/Parallels

    I have read on various forums that there is a specific order in which you need to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac (mine is a new iMac running Leopard), so you can run it natively with Boot Camp and simultaneously with OS X 10.5 using a third-party program such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
    Does anyone know the installation procedure/order in which to install VMWare (or Parallels) and XP (I bought a standalone copy of XP Pro), so that I can also run XP Pro natively using Boot Camp?
    I have been using Parallels for a year, but am thinking about switching to Fusion. Any thoughts on which one is preferred would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I am using Fusion 2.1 on a MacPro Duo. Installed it after creating a boot camp partition.
    Follow the instructions with fusion for multiple options. I boot into WXP Pro to use multi-monitors for work-related stuff on a corp. network. Otherwise, I use a virtual machine using the bootcamp partition to run both OS's simultaneously. Fusion is great (USB support, firewire, etc.) but does not yet support multi-monitors. Be sure to install boot camp drivers off of the Leopard DVD on the boot camp WXP machine AND on each/all virtual machines.......then everything works great!
    Before you set all of this up, decide how large you want your boot camp partition to be. Once you create it, you cannot change it (and the virtual machine off of boot camp either). I have grown into another hard drive and have to start over from scratch rebuilding my corporate windows machines!

  • "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

    I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
    I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
    I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
    However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
    pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
    If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
    Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
    I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

    Hi,
    You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
    Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
    you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
    go to SO10
    give textname it say Ztextname  id as ST and language as EN
    say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
    so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
    Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
    go to any window editor and   select path
    Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
    then you will get popup  in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
    after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu
    Reward points if useful

  • Installation with "Parallels"

    After installing Parallels on a Macbook Pro, I installed Windows XP and added virus protection. Then I added a standard user account for another person. When I opened Parallels in this account it asked for a new installation of Windows. I installed it again, but now it needs virus protection. Is there a way to simply make the standard user account recognize the original Windows installation that was installed in the administrator account? If so, can I uninstall the second Windows installation?

    Then I added a standard user account for another person.
    I presume by this you mean another user account in Mac OS X, and you want that person to also be able to run the Windows copy you set up for Parallels? If so, you probably need to move the Parallels Windows "disk" to a folder that both of your Mac OS X users can access. The Users -> Shared folder is one such place and probably the easiest to use since you don't have to tinker with permissions. Then you just set Parallels to look to that location for the Windows "disk".

  • KT6 Delta-FISR V2 fresh WinXP installation hang

    Hola
    I have recently bought a KT6-Delta FISR MoBo with a Athlon XP 2400+ and have encountered some problems.
    After the MoBo finally managed to recognize the HDD and CD-ROM i have tried to install WinXP Pro. After boting from CD-ROM the inspection of the hardware setup takes forever and when initializing windows setup it runs sloooooooow before the system hangs when loading the initial system files. (like kernel debugger etc.).
    When monitoring the temperatures in BIOS I get the impression that everythings nice and cool.
    The system recognizes my CPU as 1800+ and the DRAM at 266MHz.
    The PATA-IDE controller is enabled and the ATA-IDE disabled. (not using neither SATA nor RAID) i have tried to fiddle with the FSB and DRAM freq's but it crashed my system. Any suggestions to why my system wont get past Windows initial installation? To weak power? BIOS/hardware error/misconfig?
    By the way, what is Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet Boot Agent? Something which can/shoud be disabled?
    Hail Santa!
    Specs:
    KT6-Delta FISR version 2

    By the way, everything is up and running.
    The problem turned out to be the TDK CD-ROM which wouldn't read the WinXP CD.

    The AOpen power works just fine and gives plenty of juice.
    Now the FSB runs at 133Mhz and the system shows my Athlon XP 2400+ processor correct.

  • Use of Oracle Universal Installer?

    I am trying to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g (I have already Oracle 10.g installed) - however I get (after message that all requirements are met, so - installation can proceed):
    'setup.exe has encountered a problem and need to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience..... Please tell Microsoft about this problem'.
    Oracle Universal Installer version: 10.1.0.2.0
    Oracle Deveoper Suite: 10.1.2.0.2 (so - a bit higher - is this acceptable?)
    WinXP, default JRE 1.5_1
    I can run OUI as standalone application - so - maybe I can simply run it and ask it to install Developer Suite? But as I understand - I should point to some xml file where products for istallation should be specified - but on installation disks there i no any (there is onlu setup executables). Where can I find them? Or should I upgrade to higher version of OUI?
    Thanks for any advice in advance!
    OK - I find products.xml file - and I got messages:
    1) error while loading areasQueries library
    2) I should upgrade to OUI 10.1.0.3.0 or later - where can I download it?

    OK - now I searched on yahoo for Oracle Universal Installer download - there are some discussion in forums where it is recognized that standalone download of specified OUI isn't available from Oracle website

    you have to change the port no in listener.ora file which exists on Oracle_home/network/admin/listener.ora like
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Griat-xp.bebo.tech.com)(PORT = 1521))
      )from this to
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Griat-xp.bebo.tech.com)(PORT = 1522))
      )afterwords you have to reload the listener by using lsnrctl on command prompt
    in this way you can change the default port of Oracle
