Software Update: NTLite 1.0.0 build 2362 beta – Tweakers

Dino Nuhagic is engaged in the development of NTLite, a program that allows users to create a custom built Windows 7-, 8- or 8.1 installation CD. Dino is not unknown in this area, because he is also the creator of nLite and vLite, who do the same, but for Windows XP and Vista.

NTLite may include removing unused components and hotfixes, updates and Adding drivers. It is also possible to already make many settings, apply tweaks and questions that arise when installing to answer, such as the registration key, user accounts and network settings. In this way, the program reduces installation time.

What is new is that NTLite also can customize an already installed Windows. Also new is that there are different versions. The basic version is free but has limited functionality. For example, there can be only a limited number of components to be removed and it is not possible to adapt an existing installation. The full version costs just under 45 euros and can be purchased a commercial license. The changelog for this release can be found below.
