QuickTime Alternative nLite Addon Setup Guide Integrating essential media codecs directly into your Windows installation source saves significant time during deployments. This guide explains how to slipstream the QuickTime Alternative codec pack into a custom Windows installation disc using nLite. What You Need
nLite Software: Download and install the latest version of nLite.
Windows Source Files: Copy your original Windows XP or 2000 installation CD files to a folder on your hard drive.
QuickTime Alternative nLite Addon: Download the .cab or .7z addon file specifically packaged for nLite. Step-by-Step Integration 1. Load the Windows Source
Launch nLite and click Next. Click Browse and select the folder containing your copied Windows installation files. nLite will detect and display the operating system information. Click Next to proceed. 2. Select the Task
On the Task Selection screen, you will see various customization options. Click the Hotfixes, Addons and Update Packs button to highlight it. If you plan to create a bootable disc right away, also highlight the Bootable ISO button. Click Next. 3. Insert the Addon
Click the Insert button on the Hotfixes screen. Select Add from the dropdown menu. Browse to the folder where you saved the QuickTime Alternative nLite addon file. Select the file and click Open. The addon will now appear in the processing list. Click Next. 4. Process the Installation
Click Yes when prompted to start the integration process. nLite will deconstruct the Windows source, insert the QuickTime Alternative media files, rebuild the required installation files, and update the setup configuration automatically. 5. Create the ISO Image
Once processing finishes, click Next to advance to the Bootable ISO screen. Select your desired mode, such as Create Image to save an ISO file to your hard drive, or Direct Burn to write it to a blank disc. Click Make ISO or Burn to finalize the project. Verification
Test your custom installation image inside a virtual machine before deploying it to production hardware. Once Windows setups complete, browser plugins and media players will play QuickTime content natively without requiring a standalone QuickTime player installation.
