[RT Seven Lite - RC build 1.7.0 and Beta build 2.6.0]

hey

thx for this tool

but could u adopt the present system file as vlite

cos there lots of config

[[Guide] Win7/Server SP1 - Removal With Vlite and RT Lite]

Hi! first post here, been using vlite/nlite for many years, but never been able to reduce winsxs to a realistic size.

Tried this with 32-bit Ultimate, nothing extreme. Removed winsxs, languages, tablet, speech, drivers. ISO size 1.5 GB, C:\windows is 2.5 GB.

I have tried installing it twice in VMWare.

Some updates work, not all.

I think I'm doing something wrong with KB947821 (28.9 MB).

It's a folder with 8 .exe files, which I have manually started, and that makes them extract .cab files to separate folders in C:\ , which now looks pretty cluttered...

Am I using the right KB, and am I supposed to just start all 8 .exe files?

try to reinstall them again after u did restart

sometime same update dont install with another updates

but in the end all got installed

[What does vLite do?]

vlite remove files and update the reg hive

if u have wim image with ur backup docs

its wont touch it

[[Guide] Win7/Server SP1 - Removal With Vlite and RT Lite]

[[Guide] Win7/Server SP1 - Removal With Vlite and RT Lite]

Thanks for this aviv does this mean removal of IE8 via vlite is do-able now ?

hi aviv00,

is it possible to install Visual C++ Redistributable Package (2005 or 2008) if winsxs is removed?

Some programs like ATI Catalyst, Logitech Setpoint and visual studio are dependant on it.

hey

yes i success to install that :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

edit

i install successfully .NET4 beta 2 too

[[Guide] Win7/Server SP1 - Removal With Vlite and RT Lite]

Yep, installed that update first and after that it all worked great. Weird thing I noticed though, just after installing that one update my winsxs folder had already grown by like 100 mb *cry :.(

*edit*

Reinstalled again and watched the winsxs folder while the hotfix was processing and it was adding folders to their like crazy, I'm guessing that update fixed whatever we did the the winsxs folder that it didn't like.

*edit* *edit*

I think I'll integrate that hotfix with DISM and see how that goes.
