    I have been doing some searching but have not found the results I want. I want to create my own Vista install disc with all the programs I want installed during the initial install. Does anyone know how I can do this? I know I have done it for XP in the past, but I cannot find any vista compatible software. Let me know.

    Yeah you need vlite (I think), there was a thread around here somewhere with a something similar to what your asking, could have been for XP though...

    nLite can do it with XP, but, currently, vlite can't.

    Didn't Microsoft post a article explaining how to do that for network deployments when Vista came out?

    For network deployments? Is that what it is called when you install the program into a copy of vista that has not even been installed. I noticed that they have some software you can get from Microsoft, OEM Preinstall Kit (OPK), but I have no way to get it.
