Hi RBCC, congratulation. I'm glad to help you with the downgrade. Best regards Thomas

Dear MagicAndre1981, dear RBCC, today I sucessfully removed components from a technes msdn M$ Vista SP2 RTM ISO. BUT my own reverse integrated version does'nt work with the same procedure. So I searched the forum once again. I could'nt found more people with the exact error but I found some .NET exeption handles + some possible solutions to resolve. One suggestion was to downgrade from vlite 1.20 -> 1.1.6. THATs IT. This worked for me too. Now i can remove components from my own ISO. Maybe somebody is interested to know this? Bye Thomas

Hi guys, could somebody explain the error rbcc (US) and me (GER) gets in vlite during loading a working reverse integrated vSP2 version? It seams it has nothing to do with locale/language differences of vista<->waik<->.NETfx. Is it possible that M$ uses some code to prevent vlite from loading? M$ actually do more offense marketing against vlite and pro reverse integration. If so, and if there is no hope for future releases of vlite HOW does vlite the component removal? I would do it myselfs at command prompt if neccessary. Bye Thomas

Dear fellows, I did my final tests with my reverse slipstreamed SP2 and vlite. Because vlite would'nt load the *.wim on my 1st preinstalled HP-OEM system, I promised to test on the running SP2 system. The problem is the same. But this system IS a german one, with german WAIK+wimfltr.inf, with german .NET and german vlite. So I don't know where the language conversion error relates on. Is there any possibility to do the extraction of unwanted applications anyway else? How/what does vlite do to remove some stuff? Best regards Thomas

Hi you all, now, I would like to report you of my big surprise yesterday evening. After submitting my last reply to you I gave the vista setup one last chance. Surprise: it installs flawless!!!!! This was my intension to download another sliptream/integrate tool - the VUI 1.0beta5. http://www.winvistaside.de/downloads/syste...-integrator-47/ This tool runs/loads flassless too. So I can send you the following matrix of tests. ImageX imageX imageX Version Waik1.0 Waik1.1 vLite 1.2 -------- -------- VUI 1.0b5 XXXX XXXXX VistaInst -------- XXXXX Relating the VistaSetup is behaves like described in the 7th post on this website. http://apcmag.com/how_to_slipstream_vista_...install_dvd.htm Relating the vlite problem I only have one idea and will test it today. Your hint with the english vista/.NET could be the reason. I have to explain that all my done splipstream/integration work is to replace my preinstalled HP-Pavilion OEM Recovery Vista Version. I hate the Crapware and the missing hotfixes/ patches. Of course I execute vlite on that system. Maybe it was an english one with only an german sliptreamed language pack??? So I will run vlite on my new SP2 partition loading the install.wim. The new installed vista shows SP2-Version in system but does'nt do that in add/remove. Is this because I run the vsp1cln.exe and compcln.exe after installing SP's and before generalize???? I red uninstalling is unavailabe then. Bye + you are the best Thomas

Hi fellows, as I promised here are the attached pics and logs. The change from waik1.0 imagex.exe v.11.2006 to the waiksp1.1 imagex.exe v08.2008 does'nt help - same errors. I dont know what i'm doing wrong. It can't be as tricky as it is on my pc because MS uses the same way and recommends it for home users too. I know the competitor vlite is'nt loved in Redmond Hope smebody can help me. Bye Thomas vLite12Error.txt

Hi fellows, dear MagivAndre1981, of course, I will test the imagex.exe from WAIK1.0 and WAIK1.1 today evening and post it to you tomorrow. I know from several slipstream/integration guides that guiImagex-Frontend also compresses wrong *.wim's. Maybe the imagex.exe version ist the solution. see you tomorrow Bye Thomas

Dear folks, thank you for the fast reply. My first tests were... VistaSp0-Audit Mode-SP1-reboot-SP2-reboot-generalize (RTM from 28.Apr.2009) Because this results in the error, my second tries were... VistaSp0-Audit mode-SP1-reboot-generalize Even the same error... The show must go on, so I installed... VistaSP0-Audit Mode-NO CHANGES!-generalize After that I used the command... imagex.exe /compress maximum /flags "HomePremium" ......... "Windows Vista HomePremium" Consider, there was nothing changed on my last try but the error is the same if I would do so. I forgot to mention that the command imagex.exe -info....... results in the same overview my original purchased install.wim results in. vLite 1.2 can open my original VistaSp0 without any errors, but not the "homemade" version I have no further idea. @MagicAndre1981 Hi MagicAndre1981, was ist in vLite mit Eingabezeichenfolge gemeint? Gehe ich zu den Fehlerdetails erscheinen einige Compiler Parameter $String... u.s.w. Da hört es bei mir leider auf. Best regards Thomas

Dear folks, I red the tutorial for reverse integration several times. Every try following the describtion results in the same error. At last I did'nt test with SP0+SP1+SP2 nor SP0+SP1. I only tested with VistaSP0 unmodified. 1.) I installed VistaSP0 2.) entered audit mode 3.) changed nothing and shutdown with generalize 4.) boot my WinPE liveDVD 5.) use imagex exactly as described (wait 1 hour) 6.) replaced original install.wim of purchased DVD 7.) started vlite to make an ISO 8.) ERROR: the input string has invalid format 9.) alternatively tried OSCDIMG 10.) booted VMWare with virtual iso 11.) ERROR: image mount error the system cannot find the file specified 0x80070020 (I don't know the exact english error phrases, because I use vlite+Vista in german) @MagicAndre1981: Hi MagicAndre1981. Da du als sehr kompetenter und zuverlässiger deutscher vlite Nutzer gehandelt wirst, möchte ich dir gern die deutschen Fehlermeldungen schreiben. vlite=Die Eingabezeichenfolge hat das falsche format. VistaSetup=Windows kann die Datei nicht öffnen, prüfen sie ob alle erforderlichen Dateien verfügbar sind Code 0x80070020. Is it importend or obsolete if I use imagex.exe from Waik 1.0 ~700MB or WaikSP1 1.1 ~1300MB? Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? I thank you for any response. Bye Thomas
