MiniXP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Damian9303. It released on February 2, 2016, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021.
Description
The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO. Many things have been removed from the OS, as you would expect in a mod like this. The most notable part about this bootleg is that it is one of the first ever bootlegs to use the name "MiniXP", other than that nothing else interesting can be seen in this bootleg. Except maybe the OEM branding.
It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.

Notes
Bootleg quirks
- This bootleg uses an existing "lite XP" ISO base from November 6, 2010. As a matter of fact, the volume creation date says November 6, 2010. If anything, this bootleg is actually a fork of another lite ISO with the author's branding added to it!
- Setup expects a oemlogo.bmp file, but it will not copy.
WINNT.SIF metadata
- The full name and organization is set to "MiniXP User" and "Made by Damian9303 2016".
- The workgroup name is set to "WORKGROUP".
