Tomato Garden XP V5 is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 all-in-one ISO, which was created by TomatoLei. It was released on October 27, 2006 and was added to the archive on May 18, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 all-in-one ISO, which comes with a boot loader integrated.

The ISO comes with 4 versions of Windows XP SP2, 3 in Vista-themed unattended or manually or with driverpacks integrated. The other 3 are stock, but just like the Vista version set. You can choose to either manually or automatically install the OS, using an unattended script to do the job.

The OS itself comes with 8 new themes, a new default theme and wallpaper, and more than 40 new updates. It comes with its own autorun, which you can browse for more software to install, mostly with RAR-packaged ones, installing the bootleg or viewing the statement of the author.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Menu Loader 5.1.0.341, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 5.0.
