first of all...
im not really pissed or something like that... maybe i would have been when i was younger, but i guess im getting kind of used to stuff like that, besides that i didnt had such a problem for some time...
so of course im not upset, when u gave me tips, how i could have accomplished my target easier... first i thought, vLite is not a programm to create a new image, instead it would reduce vista live. while working with the program things become clear and when i had my new image, i had to find a way how to get use of it - in an easy way... which leds me to the upgrade tutorial...
actually i didnt think, that it would be such a big deal to do a upgrade installation... it sounds really easy in the tutorial and i guess it would be easy, when it goes the right way...

Clean Install From Upgrade Vista) to see if they look like what you have seen instead. That would explain why all of your settings and programs were lost. This is almost like doing a clean install, except you have a backup of the old installation in C:\Windows.old.
nope... not really... maybe it ended in a custom install...
here are the facts of "my installation":
i never had ...
- an opening screen
- to klick "install now" on the opening screen (ha, because it didnt have one...
)
- to choose between check for updates - y/n
- to enter my product key (no, its not included in the vLite vista image)
- to choose the edition of the windows
- to choose between upgrade or custom installation
kind of weird... but again, too late... maybe something to find out and add to the tutorials...
@ brink
do i get u right, when u used (old user) and (user name) as spaceholders, that its not important, that the user names are the same? i thougt i could be, because some of setting files or something like that are associated with a specific user name...
so actual plan:
- waiting for a confirmation of brink
- try to run the programm in Windows.old
--> move the to new user
- include AppData & ProgramData (backup first the old folders)
- try to get the programs on E: to run easier now...
sounds ok?
thanks for the answers,
TaZz
