vLite is a tool released in 2006 for customizing [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows Vista|Windows Vista]] installations, designed as a successor to nLite. Much like nLite, it allows users to remove and add components, integrate updates, add registry tweaks, add custom themes, and more. The program also looks similar to nLite although it has a more modern UI. Although not technically supported, vLite also be used to customize [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 7|Windows 7]] installs.

vLite was first released in 2006, although most bootlegs that use it were released in 2008. As many users were unable to meet Windows Vista's demanding hardware requirements wereat quitethe demandingtime, for manymost users atstuck thewith timeWindows XP, and as such, vLite did not see nearly as much usage as its predecessor. Because of this, itIt did not receive many updates and it was discontinued nearly five years before nLite.

Some early examples of vLite being used go back to [[TinyVista]] (''vLite 1.2 beta on Windows Vista SP1'') and [[Windows Vista Lite]] (''vLite 1.1.6 on Windows XP SP3''). There are also bootlegs like [[Windows Vista Kagome Titanium SP2 Edition]] (''vLite 1.2 on Windows Vista Ultimate SP2''), and [[Windows Vista Alienware 2010]]. It has also been seen in a few Windows 7 RTM bootlegs, such as [[Tiny7]] (''vLite 1.2 on Windows 7 RTM'') and [[Windows 7 Apple Logo]] (''ditto'').
