is it possible to remove components from the Windows 7 image (install.wim) by removing some files and tweaking the registry in the install image.
Let me clear this for you
For example if I want to remove notepad, I can mount the image using ImageX and the remove the file notepad.exe and modify some settings in the registry inside the image.
If it is possible could we make a list of most the components in windows 7 and their appropriate files and registry entries?
If that possible we could automate this easily by developing a program.
FYI I am used to nlite and unattended Windows XP and removing components from it. Also I never used Vista and never needed to make unattended or remove components from it.
