  1. just trying to make sure it is worth our whike doing all the above, what compression rate are u referring to? the compression rates that we are practically accustomed to are reasonably satisfactory - a very good compression rate can be achieved thru winntsetup itself by clicking on the start square icon on the top right corner of the mask and then on "local windows installations", then right-clicking and selecting compact windows, choosing "lzx" and ticking the recompression box below. yet other good compression rates can be achieved thru windows10tweaker.exe from the optimization section (the only inconvenience being with this one here that u cannot do anything while it is compacting as everything freezes till the end of the process). pls try both and compare with ur rar kinda thing for best compression results.
  2. btw, another minwinning caveat: do not delete or 0byte windows\UUS, lest your system should freeze on the "welcome" screen right before boot completion, never to see the desktop interface again.
  3. Well, I am glad it does the trick.
  4. I could send you the one that works for me, but would it work for u as well? what i can suggest u do is go to https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/?PartitionMode=Custom&DiskpartScript=REM&InstallToMode=Available it will provide u with possible choices for u to make in order to obtain an autounattend.html that works for u. u can then put the resulting file in the autounattend slot provided in winntsetup and u will be good to go. i did this myself, but it is on a per-system or per-machine basis, not on a universal basis.
  5. tx, so u suggest i should not reply anymore
  6. what is an assembly? do u mean a good-to-go system? if that is the case, start by making a 15gig vhd, for example with the function provided in winntsetup (u will find the button on the bottom right corner of the application). then install the iso as indicated in the application itself. if u want a cleaner system, u can open sample.ini and take all the semicolons out (this will be important when winntsetup installs ur iso). after u have modified sample.ini, do a bit of studying of the various options wintsetup provides, and when u run into doubts, do not hesitate to ask in more detail here. I will reply asap.
  7. and..., yet another caveat: I still use g4d 4.5c with ahci/nvme memory-mapping-based ramboot patch, the fastest ramloading implement I have found so far, altough it leaves us at least one version behind. unfortunately good old Kai Schtrom, the inventor of svbus, has not made the remapping kinda thing compatible with g4d 4.6a. this possibility is apparently even more remote if we consider the invasion of uefi-based mobos that, albeit probably wrongly, convinced many people to go along for the innovation ride in order to feel on the safe side (lest it should not work as it used to during the bios-based-mobo era). I say probably wrongly because the find line in the menu.lst file can be successfully adjusted to fit a full UEFI scenario. to cut a long story short, at least with new mobos, which still have a csm facility, the problem that might arise is the system's failure to boot even after mapping ok. I solved it with disktuna, a very effective disk and vhd analyzer, defragger, optimizer and compactor. I suggest u should run it both on the host disk (for outer vhd contiguity) and each of the vhds u use after mounting them, one by one. it will spare u various headaches if u use this ahci/nvme patch. By way of an expansion of the above, I can say I have found out one feature of jfx's winntsetup that deserves our attention for 2 reasons 1) it compacts vhd's like no other, and 2) raises the probability of the vhd in question to boot in ram ok, probably for leaving more space necessary for the booting process. viz, I suggest that u should click on the windows button on the top right corner and call the local windows installation of ur concern from the menu, then choose compact windows and let it do the trick. for either reason or for both reasons, u will not regret it.
  8. I am glad it does work. thanx for the tips. as for what u wrote (If one really wanted, you could delete the dll files these services rely on, that'll also work. If you really want a barebones system, you can delete all autochk files, with voidtools search, as well as sppsvc too, if you don't use microsoft office) I strongly advise that anyone keep all the rest. just disable the services, lest the modern immersive control panel should not work anymore.
  9. I am glad u like my proposal, but I haven't yet got an informed answer. if ur test proves right, we still do not know whether we can, and/or how we will, effectively automate it into winntsetup.exe. U got a point, though: if it cannot be pre-installed, we will keep using it on a post-install basis.
  10. attaboy jfre84. gonna try it out. now @everyone do not junction the following files and folder \progran files\windowspowershell \windows\system32\windowspowershell \windows\temp from anyplace else, or some powershell2-relying or wmi-calling programs may not run properly (it is certainly the case with microwin, inside Chris Titus' winutil.ps1). For the same reason, do not touch the following files and folder \windows\system32\microsoft \windows\system32\mispace.dll \Windows\System32\storagewmi.dll Still for the same reason, do not zerobyte the following folder \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache and now @jfx and @wimb your minwinning and wimbreducing respectively do not delete the following windows subfolders attached herein. To the best of my knowledge and remembrance, they have been left there because they are too small in size for anyone normal to quibble as to whether they serve any apparent practical purpose or not. As a notorious file and folder exterminator, I have been doing without them for quite some time now, with no hindrance or prejudice to any software functionality. I would like you to differ if you know or believe it is not so or confirm if you know or believe it is so. Thank you ever so much in advance. FolderListJFX.txt FolderListWimb.txt
  11. says the file is infected with a virus
  12. @ibay770 btw if u run this after install, ur system will be all the quicker disableservices.bat @JFX if u can tell us how the above file's content can effectively be integrated or embedded somewhere in winntsetup.exe for use during the install procedure, we would pretty much appreciate it without having to do it after install.
  13. attaboy, then. now tell me if u have taken advantage of sample.ini in the tweaks section. if u have, just open the file with notepad or the like and erase all the semicolons. u can safely remove the appx's listed. I can also give u my version, with more appx's to be taken out. btw, how big is ur vhd? copy it rename the copy differently. make sure u cam boot off both of them. this way, if u modify vhd1 and something has gone wrong, u will still be able to reboot off vhd2 and copy it back on vhd1 so u will be back to your most recent best. no need to backup or restore anything - it is its twin which is its best backup version, the restore one being the vhd you will have copied back to the one that went wrong. if u have more than one disk u can have an omonymous vhd, as u will no longer need to change its name. d'dya get da drift?
  14. guess i've already told u about that; anyway, after 11 my time I'll ask Virgus to explain it to u in more detail - not that easy, believe it or not. as far as the whole windows reduction process is concerned, have u installed win10 or win11 on a vhd yet? that is what I meant when I asked u whether u were ready for more. pls let me know.
  15. ready for more, ibay?
