: <code>; Generated by nLite 1.4.9.1</code>
: <code>; Generated by nLite 1.4.9.3</code>
* The version number may be different - there have been cases where bootlegs were made with really old versions going back to 1.0 or even beta versions of nLite. You should include this version number in the "This ISO was made using ..." portion if possible. Ditto for all the other tools with visible version numbers.
* Any files named <code>nlite.inf</code> and all INF files for the keywords "nLite" including comments (usually at EOF) in <code>I386</code>
* The line <code>"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U"</code> in the file <code>cmdlines.txt</code> in the folder <code>$OEM$</code>. This will also confirm the existence of <code>nLite.inf</code> in <code>I386</code>, which is the file that holds the component tweaks done by nLite according to the user.
To confirm if a bootleg was made with Windows Unattended CD Creator or not, look in:
* A file named <code>settings.txt</code> in the CD root, and if it contains a comment with the keywords "Windows Unattended CD Creator" as the first line of the file.
* A file named <code>RunOnceEx.js</code> or the entry <code>wucdcreator="wscript.exe %systemroot%\RunOnceEx.js"</code> or similar in <code>WINNT.SIF</code>. This is the most used feature of Windows Unattended CD Creator, its software post-installer.
To confirm if a bootleg was made with VistaPE or not, look in:
To confirm if a bootleg uses any boot selectors or not, look in:
* The bootleg's bootloader code itself, obviously
* Any folders named "EZBOOT" (''EasyBoot'', most common), "AIRBOOT" (''Aero Loader'', also common) "BCDW" (''Bootable CD Wizard'', mostly used in Russian bootlegs), or "BOOT\cdshell.ini" (''CDShell'', uncommon) in the CD root
To confirm the program used to make a bootleg's autorun:
* Look for any files pertaining to the autorun maker itself, such as:
: A file named "AUTORUN.ARU" (''Longtion Autorun Pro/Enterprise/II'', seen in Vietnamese bootlegs)▼
: Any files with the extension of "CDD" (''AutoPlay Media Studio'', most common)
: A file named "SETUP.INI" and any mentions of "Авторан для Windows", or sections "Default" and any "Item" entries (''Advanced CD Launcher'' by Boa Software, mostly seen in Russian bootlegs)
▲: A file named "AUTORUN.ARU" (''Longtion Autorun Pro/Enterprise/II'', usually seen in Vietnamese bootlegs)
* ''For autoruns made with StartCD:'' Click the program's icon at the top left of the program window, or right click the program in the tasklist, and click "About"
* Check the file's version information
* Search for strings in the binary itself. It may lead you to extra clues such as version information which you may not be obvious otherwise
