I just downloaded Windows 7 Starter from TechNet and installed it using Vmware. Memory usage after installing Vmware tools is 329 megabytes. Let's see what Vlite manages to do. More later.

And I found it out the hard way... I guess I should've RTFM

I had to reinstall Vista as SP2 didn't like my Vlited installation.

I had to install Windows Update Agent 3.0 to see SP2 in Windowsupdate but the actual installation fails as I removed Sidebar with Vlite. Check C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log for any errors. This is the error I got: 2008-10-27 23:49:36, Error Failed to find the CixTarget for Container x86_microsoft-windows-sidebar_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.16489_none_d075dbb92406ec60\sbunattend.exe 2008-10-27 23:49:36, Error DpxException hr=0x80070002 code=0x020109 2008-10-27 23:49:36, Info CSI 0000000b@2008/10/27:21:49:36.075 CSI Transaction @0x3fa0360 destroyed 2008-10-27 23:49:36, Error CBS Failed to pre- stage package, package: Package_for_KB948465~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.16489 2008-10-27 23:49:36, Info CBS WER: Generating failure report for package: VistaSP2-KB948465~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.0.16489, status: 0x80070002, failure source: Stage, start state: 2, target state: 4 2008-10-27 23:49:39, Info CBS Exec: Processing complete.
