Ben: I used the advanced preset, added drivers and windows updates. The .iso completed without errors, but when I try to install the image, it stops after the device detection phase with error "components missing...cannot complete installation" or some such message. Afterwards, I used my "last session" from a known good configuration, and only changed option from rebuild current image only to "optimize boot.wim and install.wim." That .iso also errored out on windows install. (x64)

My laptop is a 5570. I had no issues with RT7 Lite. Windows 7 has all of the drivers necessary for the laptop, except for the Texas Instruments card reader. Be sure that you are selecting or deselecting things properly (I actually had this mixed up the first time I used the program): To select items for removal on the left side, you check mark them; to install features in the right hand column, you check mark them. If you are first using Vlite to reduce an image, and then using RT7 lite to further manipulate the image, I would guess you would almost certainly be asking for trouble.

Ben: Are you by chance applying any tweaks by default? Everytime I make a Seven Lite disc, it seems that NTFS Last Access is disabled. If so, this should probably be left on by default, as it can interfere with a backup program's ability to do incremental backups. Windows Backup is one such program affected by this popular tweak.

Did you try the drivers?

You can grab the drivers here: http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/win2008r2/ehome-ir-transceiver Did you use vLite to create the disc? You can protect the files in question from being erased with the GUI; same with RT7 Lite. AFAIK, the drivers reside in /windows/ehome.

Thanks - I'm sure that will come in handy. I am going to play around tomorrow. True. I am relatively certain that I selected system restore for removal, but it was only disabled via Group Policy (registry setting for Home Premium). Likewise, I don't recall removing Defrag, but it was missing from the system tools folder in the start menu, yet still in system32, thankfully. As you say, the last config will be invaluable for debugging the process. It seems that you removed quite a bit more than did, so I am surprised as well; unless it has something with my system being 64 bit. I'm not even forming complete sentences anymore - must be time to go to bed.

So with this file protected from removal, I can remove Software Protection? (otherwise necessary for activation; without you'll get several license errors upon logon). Not sure....but I removed nearly all of the things I would have ordinarily removed with Vlite, (software protection not being one of them) and everything worked except activation. Once I copied it into system32, it was fine. I can't figure out how to save my configuration file, otherwise I would have shown it here. Good luck.
