So, not entirely sure what you're wanting to do--I thought *NLite* is used to create an unattended install of the Windows installation routine from an installation CD--can it be used to also install other programs, besides Windows, during the installation routine so other outside programs are added?

I think most companies that create a Windows OS that have other programs (other than the basic OS you get when using Microsoft's installation disc) pre-installed, are probably installing the OS on a system, then installing the various programs they want to add, and then using an imaging program to transfer that baseline image to as many other HDD's as needed that are placed in those systems.  

All the restore functions that I've seen on systems the will take one's system back to the original installation as it came from the factory seem to be using an imaging program's restore function of an image--not of a customized Windows installation disc.
