yken Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Starting with Rc1 and final versions of Vlite ,after i burn iso there is no setup.exe in root of dvd.I check the sourcefiles from harddisk,its not there too.I extract Vista Dvd to harddisk.At this time setup.exe exists but after i run vlite it disappears.I manually add this file to my new Iso file. What can be the reason for this? I use turkish Vista ,ultimate or home premium this happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think you've removed the component Manual Install (Setup.exe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yken Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think you've removed the component Manual Install (Setup.exe)thank you much, i will check this.BTW may i learn what is the purpose of removing manual install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrno Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 BTW may i learn what is the purpose of removing manual install?Manual Install means that you can install ("upgrade" Windows) within (as in virtually mounting the image or running the setup via cd/dvd-rom) another Win OS (ex: from Xp>Vista) that way you don't need to format your partition every time.Most people skip/remove this part and use VMWare (or other similar tools) or another PC for testing purposes. Removing the manual install process saves you some megs.I'm not sure if you can upgrade Vista from 2k but from Xp if works definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I remove Manual Install because i boot from DVD for a fresh install which means i dont need manual install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuhi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) if there is no setup.exe in my ISO file it doesnt boot and install vistaNot true.Maybe you confuse autorun with boot. Edited January 30, 2008 by nuhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) This is incorrect Solve.The Setup.exe on System section of components removes setup.exe, autorun.inf & all Source setup files no matter is it on or off.. Just bunched both options..I am using Windows XP x64 SP2 (same with Vista x64 with (or without SP1-RC)) with vLite.. Seems it copies the files correctly, but when it comes to component removal there is no 'setup.exe' it finds. Tested now with RC and with Final. Someone don't believe me took couple screens... Using Vista x64 Multi DVD clean with vLite.Screens:Start After Copy from DVD:Process Setup:After Process:Sorry, if some images came out a bit messy pngs, but should show the removal.-edit-Seems it doesn't even matter if I leave all components checked & only components modify. It still removes those files from source\ and on root of DVD. Also seems it doesn't matter which rebuild / Save option I take it still removes them. Seems only way to get them attached still is to not touch the Components Options at all that does leave the setup files, but then again what's the point of vlite then.

Legolash2o Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) on the second pic the manual install was ticked, so it should of removed it...

RPG Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) haha, Lame me.. Though it was another way around and "Select All" would mean install all, but okay.. Have to test it another way around it seems.-edit-Most be truly blind redoing installations, atm.. hehe, just noticed it even reads above the selections.. "Select components to remove.. " heheBut why does the Size of Installation Grow when you select something? (If indeed it's removing the item to choose one) Edited January 30, 2008 by RPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 RPG, sometimes people get confused with that select thing and more and more I think about changing that, here is some explanation why is it like that:"Since not all components are supported to avoid confusions like 'will the component X be installed if it's not listed' and because removed components can not be returned."It is selected size, meaning how much will be removed.

Innocent Devil Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) to Nuhi:why there is some files remain in sources folder ??only files needed are boot.wim and install.wim (verified) wen doing DVD boot install.all other files can be removed to reduce size (abt 70mb)bcoz these files are present in #2 image of boot.wim (used for winPE and WinRE).I previously had wrote it somewhere in suggetions.hoping for next ver.

nuhi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Innocent Devil, which files are you referring to and in which scenario?What I want to say is that if you select Manual Install for removal it will remove all except install.wim, boot.wim and because I'm not sure for what it is exactly 'install_Windows Vista ULTIMATE.clg' (it leaves only the selected version).
