How to leave programs already installed?

[mts123456]

Good evening. Does anyone know how to leave the programs already installed instead of using the post-installation option in NTLite?

The normal procedure is to perform a sysprep install. You first install Windows and all your apps, before capturing the current system image (including apps) as a new install image. This captured image replaces the install image you started with on the ISO.

Sysprep (System Preparation) Overview

Unlike the normal Windows install image, this one is already "baked" and ready to use.

It's normal (but optional) to perform a generalize step on the system, which removes any unique system ID's, resets the lists of configured drivers, and wipes all user accounts and their files so it can installed on a different PC from the one preparing the image.

NTLite doesn't do the sysprep work for you, but you replace the ISO's \sources\install.wim or .esd with the capture WIM. One of the standard rules is to temporarily disable the network while in sysprep, so Windows Update doesn't update files while you're working.

Sysprep/generalize is a common procedure for IT admins, so you can find many online guides explaining the process.

I have almost all the software I use in portable versions (or at least installed once), then backed up the corresponding directories, registry keys for settings, etc...
And I integrate everything into the image.

The only programs I install under Windows are Office and the Nvidia drivers
