as u understand i done it with testing so cant ensure its will go easily
Guide How to Remove Packages with WAIK [ Could be use on Vista as well ]
use the original install.wim
hive in to regedit.exe the software [in system32\config\]
export to the packages
with notpade replace
"Visibility"=dword:00000002
to
"Visibility"=dword:00000001
save it and import it back to regedit.exe [ click it twice, u should take owner and full access first]
remove the Owners dirs of all the packages [ save it from time to time so u wont get mistake and need to go back]
save the hive with unhive it [ save the wim changes]
use Windows SIM [ WAIK] to make the new clg file
start to make answer file to remove those packages u dont need
if u get error like 1023 or 1623 i dont remember u should rebulid the image with vlite [or start remove comps with it and rebulid, do that after u remove all the possable]
TIPS:
server 32bit have 201 packages i success to remove till 74 packages left after remove comps with vlite
those others that get those error i was talking before was able to remove now [ duno why ]
u dont need to remove the lang pack of any package if u remove the main the lang pack of it should go too
if u remove the server lang pack the while the install u will get error
if u want to remove winsxs as well and still have the aero
remove the pending.xml in winsxs dir [install.wim]
tell me about ur exp. with it
GL man

hi aviv00.

go to file > hive [ the same unhive ]

select software [in ...system32\config dir]

owner:

then click advance

owner tab

choose administrators and mark replace owner.... [apply it]

then back to permission tab and add u full control

more question if you don't mind

I have an iso mounted as DVD using daemon tools. I copied the contents of the ISO to a temp directory in my local harddrive.

1. Am I able to use the files in the temp folder?

2. If all I want is to remove package, should I be using pkgmgr.exe only?

3. Is this the correct AIK to use? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

thanks for the help

can you tell me how to use pkgmgr?

as I said above, I have copied the contents of the win2008 DVD into a temp folder on the local HDD.

thank you very much

ps. you said you were able to reduce your win2008 to less than a 1GB. I want to do the same but I'm not sure what program to use or the steps to achieve it.

hi

i am not sure if in waik i should select the rest of the packages to uninstall or just add these.

i want to remove the maximum number of packages.

* i don't want Aero

* i want the option of adding desktop search (indexing) later on.

* i do want Office/Visual Studio

* i do want to play games.

* i do want to remote desktop to and fro from this computer.

could you be a bit more specific about how to remove packages from waik. i have already done the registry/hive part. now i have opened waik and opened the modified wim and a new answer file. what do i do now.

how much more disk space can i gain over simply vliting the original disc. (my vlited 2008 x64 uses about 4 gb disc space with a working add/remove without using vlite with extreme flag)

thanks

* i don't want Aero

remove Microsoft-Windows-ServerDesktopExperience package with pgrmgr [ i post tut here just look up a bit]

or use vlite to remove it after installing using waik [its save lots of space]

* i want the option of adding desktop search (indexing) later on.

better install it already with waik then use add feather after install i get error

* i do want Office/Visual Studio

pre-install net3 with waik [ search in foundation pack ]

* i do want to play games.

get game dll file from google or here

got info about the games u gonna play if there are any problem

* i do want to remote desktop to and fro from this computer.

pre-install terminal serivce with waik [ search in foundation pack ]

or add feather after install [ better waik fmo]

could you be a bit more specific about how to remove packages from waik. i have already done the registry/hive part. now i have opened waik and opened the modified wim and a new answer file. what do i do now.

uploaded bat files that get better packages removed

how much more disk space can i gain over simply vliting the original disc. (my vlited 2008 x64 uses about 4 gb disc space with a working add/remove without using vlite with extreme flag)

i would say more 500mb using packages remove

if u could test ur config and packages remove with vm its would be the best

cant ensure wont be problems

tip:

get more info about the packages from here

uploaded bat files that get better packages removed

just on a side note those two batch files could be one bat file like this

CALL up Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.6001.18000

GOTO :EOF


:up

start /w pkgmgr /o:E:\Work\WimMount;E:\Work\WimMount\Windows /up:%1 /l:log

echo %ERRORLEVEL% %ERRORLEVEL% %ERRORLEVEL% %ERRORLEVEL% %ERRORLEVEL% %ERRORLEVEL%

GOTO :EOF

May 2, 200818 yr

is doing pkgmgr /up the same as passing in a answer file with all those components removed.
