I thought that issue was resolved in this build. Have you looked at the release notes?

From Microsoft: "This behavior is by-design, as Home Basic does not have themes support." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2005592

I'm not seeing your attachment. Can you try again?

I've never used it myself. As far as I can tell, it's just a wizard driven way of sharing files, as opposed to having to manually configure what you want to share. I get along fine with the traditional method of file sharing.

Try setting the following services to start automatically, and reboot: Peer Name Resolution Protocol Peer Networking Grouping Peer Networking Identity Manager PNRP Machine Name Publication Service

'cause it's a 600mb service pack, perhaps?

Are you building it on a system that you've already removed the winsxs cache from? Rt7 Lite needs .net 3.5.

So many apps are using .net these days. Even keeping .net,but removing the cache, I was able to come up with an x64 .iso of 1.8gb, installed size of 5gb without swap or hibernation files.

You the man, Ben!

I'm all for that! Can you believe .net 4 requires *2 gb* of hard drive space in x64? Someone had an idea several pages back that you could "symlink" the .net files. Does that make sense to you Ben?

Removing winsxs cache will most assuredly break your .net install. While it may leave certain core functionality, your experience suggests that the cache is better left alone. I have found it impossible to reinstall .net once it is removed.

Hello Zumoc: Are you trying this on a windows installation that you had previously used Rt7 Lite to remove the winsxs cache?

Ben: If one removed Internet Explorer, would the cleanup script restart the computer before the registry tweaks (on the last tab of the tweaks section) were merged to the machine? Thanks, CF

Has anyone tried any of the windows update executables, such as the Malicious Software Removal Tool?
