I'm looking for this also. Ive got packages.xls but it cant be right. Some of the info is clearly wrong.

I have been trying to understand this also. I have removed from my x86 win7 sp1 source with rt7lite and vlite and gotten the image down quite small but not where i wanted it. There is still more that can be removed and youl find directories within the windows folder of your mounted wim that are massive (winsxs & assembly are 2). There are guides on here of manually deleting files from a mounted wim but the problems are that you can not delete the files without file permission errors because they are protected. Now install_wim_tweak allows you to remove those files without the permission errors but you still have another problem. The problem youl face is durring install. The files you remove are requested by the installer and if there missing you get an error and the install will fail. I am still trying to understand if there is a central install listing of all files like there was in XP or if its all controlled by the hives in the install.wim. If its controlled by the hives how come install_wim_tweak does not work when you remove files and commit the changes? I recently removed a bunch of files from assembly after loading install_wim_tweak and my install failed. What did I do wrong?

IT was a brand new wim saved to a different directory. I cant find whereisit. Can you give me a link to it? I will try to do the rtlite part againa and see if it works ok with vlite. Thanks

aviv00.. I have been trying to get vlite to run with my wim x86 win7 sp1 which has been rebuilt after running rt 7 lite (method 5). I used the apply capture trick with gimagex. This still leads to a problem when using your sp1_2 ini file. Vlite crashes with no error just goes away. I have tried this vlite step on winxp, win7 sp0 and a win7 x64 and its always the same except on the x64 where it says vlite has stopped working and then it asks would you like to close it. I even went back to tried vlite 1.1.6 and its the same. I also tried to remove remove the winsxs from the components removal and no luck either. Is there any way I can do this without vlite? Or do you know why vlite is not letting me progress? It could be because I have a number of updates applied to my win7 sp1. They are security updates but thats all I can think of. Maybe vlite cant handle those. Any thoughts or suggestions you can offer me? Also have you heard of w7t.exe its a nice gui and allows you to remove winsxs but not anymore then rt 7 lite as far as componts. Thanks

I keep having a problem with vlite with windows 7 sp1 and running from host Win7 Sp0. It instantly crashes in the removing componets part. I am still testing to see if some combanation will make this crash stop. I have tried the apply capture and it still crashes. Hope to find an answer but if anyone has some suggestions to that I would be glad to hear.

Hi all. Just read about 25 pages here, been out of the scene a while. What I am trying to understand is I have a list of packages I want to remove for a language in windows 7 ultimate x86. The list is complete and when I input it into DISM I get errors after about the second package. I think this has to do with the packages/registery being locked. Whatever this install_win_tweak.exe does I think I need it or whatever tool is evolutionaryly better. I tried it and nullify which did not work same DISM errors. So either I'm doing something wrong or there is an evolutionary better way I have yet to find. Also the link for install_win_tweak.exe is broken here. I got a copy from another site but not sure if its working. The error I get in DISM is the specified image is no longer serviceable 800f0830 I am trying to remove the following packages: /PackageName:Microsoft-Media-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Branding-Ultimate-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-Refresh-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-Wired-Network-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-ClipsInTheLibrary-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-CodecPack-Basic-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Disk-Diagnosis-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Gadget-Platform-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-GPUPipeline-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-ICM-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayback-OC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-PeerToPeer-Full-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-PhotoPremiumPackage~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Printing-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteAssistance-Package-Client~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-SearchEngine-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-SecureStartup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-ShareMedia-ControlPanel-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Shell-HomeGroup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-SnippingTool-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-CommandLineTools-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-MiscRedirection-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Publishing-WMIProvider-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteApplications-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-UsbRedirector-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-WMIProvider-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-WindowsFoundation-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-WMPNetworkSharingService-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~es-ES~6.1.7601.17514 Why do I get this error and what tool will help. Believe me I have searched high and low for an answer on this and I keep finding new tools but nothing that actually does what the good old Dism command line tool can do. Ive tried them all and removing this language either fails or never starts. I believe this has to do with the servicable error that I see when I do this manually that I dont see when using jim jim dism tool or RT seven lite etc. I hope someone can shed some light or point me in the right direction. Been looking at this same problem for over a week now. I hate posting as usually can find stuff but no such luck with this.
