Hi everyone,

I've created a Windows 11 install ISO in NLite and it also includes software such as Chrome, VLC, etc.

As part of the installation process, I need to include a folder on the C: drive which will have desktop wallpapers, and some other required files.

How do I get those files integrated into my NLite ISO?

Many thanks for your help.
 
Right click on the mounted wim, open the mounting directory, and copy it in.
The production process of ntlite will not touch this folder.
 
There's two methods for adding folders that don't require updating the mounted image. Instead you add files to the ISO folder.

1. Use the traditional $OEM$ folder method if you have several folders to copy to C:\. This method is faster if you need more flexibility in updating the folders, because you can use normal Explorer or COPY commands.

Folders are not removed after installation, and you're responsible for their cleanup.

2. Use NTLite's new Post-Setup feature to copy folders, if you're adding one or two folders. Add / Directory, and then change the Destination path to your preference.

my preferred method, it is extremely reliable.
 
$OEM$ folders are copied by Windows Setup, regardless of what type of ISO you have. The files are written before the first reboot, so they are available for use during the audit pass and later stages of install.

I'm unclear on if you mean doing this from inside the NTLite program or what? please specify.

Don't use this method. It works, but isn't preferred because it only copies files into ONE mounted image at a time.

If you have multiple images and want the same folders in all of them, this step would be repeated several times. Load each image, copy files to the mounted folder, and unload image. Repeat for every image you need.

Follow the second method from post #3. It's less work.
