| If you’re always tweaking these settings anyway, let vLite do it for you, and you won’t have to make the changes ever again! |
The Tweaks dialog allows you to preconfigure commonly changed settings in four areas. The Security option lets you edit Anti-Spyware Realtime Protection, Data Execution Prevention, and UAC options. The System section allows you to set AutoPlay and paging executive, hibernation, memory requirement, Power button, and Sleep button options. Explorer lets you edit view settings for the Control Panel, file extensions, hidden files and folders, and operating system files. And finally, the Internet Explorer option allows you to edit the IE Phishing filter and phishing verification balloon tips. Click an item you want to change (such as the Power button), and a pull-down menu arrow appears to the right of the current setting. Select the setting you prefer. Click Next to continue.
The Unattended dialog helps you create an unattended installation. In the General tab, you can select your preferences for the install process. “Select this version on install” refers to the version of Vista you specified when you started vLite; the “Protect your PC” button lets you choose an automatic-update setting. In the Regional tab, you can specify the UI language, time and currency format, keyboard or input method, and time zone.

| You get a few different options for making your final disc, based on how much time you want to spend! |
Once done with the Unattended tab, click Apply to open the Apply Method dialog. Of the three options given, use Rebuild One (the default) to create the smallest ISO image and smallest installation size (select the others to see suggestions on when to use them). Click OK. It takes about 15 minutes to complete changes to the install image. Click Next when prompted to open the ISO menu. You can create an ISO file on disk, CD, or DVD. You can adjust burn speed, verify the image after writing it, perform a simulated test write, or split the image to fit onto multiple CDs. After you create an install disc, use the Preset menu to save your configuration for reuse before exiting vLite.

this program is soo old news because i used to use it soo many time on several computers with only 256MB RAM when minimum is 512MB and recc. is 1024MB or 1GB and i used it to remove features and put hotfixes and updates along with it and i created so many discs over the course of the years(3-5 that is well for me anyways.) but its good for ppl who dont know how it works and want to understand it better so like i said program is still pretty good these days. and no madness here lol

Can I use vLife with a Vista Ultimate OEM package with my home built?
I'm about to complete my first home built computer (EVGA 780i motherboard, Intel 6700 CPU, and dual Samsung 500 gig HDs).
Is there anything I need to consider after I configure the BIOS?

You can use vLite to install and configure Vista Ultimate; according to the latest help on the vLite website, you can even slipstream Vista SP1 if your Vista Ultimate OEM version doesn't include Vista SP1.
I'd recommend taking a good look at the help on the vLite website and checking out the vLite forums before you start. Take your time, and use vLite primarily to slipstream SP1 (if necessary), add other updates and hotfixes, and to automate installation. Removing Vista components can prevent you from using all of Vista's features, and should be saved for later experiementation. Have fun!
