when you remove WinSxS it's no wonder, that install fails. WinSxS includes the source files for the Features/roles you want to install.

Don't remove anything with vLite in Server 2008, removals are not supported for now, maybe won't ever be, just configurations and integrations.

People who use Windows Server shouldn't remove components anyway and it has some sort of component configuration anyway. Because it is not individual feature per component is the reason why I left it for now in the first place, meaning for example if you remove one of five components from the certain feature the whole feature adding fails and that would require totally new component selection for Server, too much fuss for a handful of people who think that Server is somehow better than Vista SP1.

for me vLite 1.1 RC works fine with Windows Server 2008 RC1 and the Install/Remove feature is NOT broken!

here is my INI:

hey all

@ MagicAndre1981

i did configure and install with pkgmgr.exe [offline installation]

so the files from winsxs already did "their job"

@nuhi

well if i remove the tablet pc [after used the pkgmr.exe to install those components ]

and tested it on vmware[all fine]

so vlite still working gr8 on server 2008

so i guess its all about winsxs with few files recovered all come to work

its might help vista

no, normaly it would create some entries inside the pending.xml inside the WinSxS folder with the files which should be installed, but you removed them, so the Setup hangs during Pass 3

i tested it the system dont use access or modified files in winsxs
