Lets say if i remove languages from all the Vista versions will the ISO be smaller using the apply method so i keep all the vista versions?

As none of the vista versions wont be installing them...

yes fmo

the ultimate edition have all the files

when u use imagex /export to add more edition like home or enterprise

its will take less then few seconds cuz all the files already in the WIM file

so if the ultimate getting langs removed its take less space

after export all other edition wont add files cuz ultimate already have it all

No it will not be smaller if you don't use Rebuild. It just adds new info to exclude files from the image on top of the old one. Does not influence the install, just the way how the files are read from the image.

what about using the delete image where you delete vista versions, does that make a smaller ISO?

[aviv00]

ow ofc its wont make it smaller

i misunderstand u sorry

if u delete the the rest and leave the ultimate its wont change

Deleting versions from the image won't save size, it just removes the allocation for the specific image preset which is represented as a Windows version, they all basically use the same files.

is there anything to reduce the final size using just ultimate edition?

i wonder because im using this one alone and have seem many "ultimate versions" around the internet at about 1.2gb of size.
