hmmm...what did i do wrong...
stupid question....but do i need to be running a x64 XP version when trying to create the windows 7 x64 edited image via vlite 1.2?
Im running x86 XP right now and during the windows 7 OS edit via vlite 1.2...
The only thing other than that is maybe i F'd something up for the vlite 1.2 install....i did have a lil trouble getting the required MS components to install... I dont remeber exactly how i got it to go thru, but it did eventually get me away from the initial vlite 1.2 ms components bs WAIK install screen...just a thought.
How much fat did you shed by getting rid of those four components / system objects??
Ill have to load up my x64 XP image tomorrow and give it a try again.
It made no sense why vlite1.2 would give me the option to create an iso....

The usual vague answer that i expected...but none the less, you steered me in what appears to be the right direction.
Thank you much !
All im looking to do is remove the "absolute worthless stuff that takes up a lot of space".
Things like:
Speech Support - 600+mb
Languages - 1300+mb
Music and video samples - 400+mb WTF
Natual Language - 1100+ mb
So far i tried removing the above with no luck. Granted i did it in a rush with minimal reading...
Also, I was not given the option to create an iso in vlite 1.2 of my end product...stayed grayed out.
Tried creating one with folder2iso, but no luck in a worthy OS...
BAH!

So, after reading tons of posts and a handful of long guides...im totally confused.
Im looking to trim a little fat off my windows 7 ultimate via vlite 1.2....since there doesnt seem to be any other app out there that even comes close to its ability. Man i miss XP and nlite....anyways.
My main confusion is that there seems to be a huge margin of mixed results with trimming windows 7 via vlite 1.2.
Not sure if its only user / computer related issues...or because of the win 7 version itself...
So basically what im trying to find out is what are the known limitations / problems of vlite with windows 7?
Not really familiar with vlite yet...never wanted to waste my time on a POS like vista. But i have tons of exp with XP and nlite...FYI if it helps.
Any and all help is greaty appreciated

What can & cannot be done to windows 7 via vlite 1.2?
in vLite
Posted · Edited by squeezin
well all went well after i loaded up a clean image of XP and reinstalled vlite 1.2.
I must have missed the iso option for whatever reason...
Aside from the four mention previously, i also removed "tablet PC" at 733mb..
By any chance do you recall the ISO size after removing the 4 components?
Mine is at 2.13Gb for the iso
Install size after hibernate removal 6.6 Gb.
Granted i installed the windows 7 (ultimate) iso with vmware and have a virtual disk at 24Gb...but i would still think the footprint would be a lot smaller than 6.6 gigs... any ideas???
And the really weird thing is that...i didnt touch the automated install option, nor put any info in. And after windows 7 finished loading in vmware....it already had created my usual "OWNER" user account and my local password from my host machine for that account. This i know for sure i did not put in any field anywhere....weird.
