Use Vista Media Center only

[appa]

If I want to mainly use VMC without any special other featurs, and yet not run into any problems during usage, what can be removed?

I'm not familiar with Vlite that much but I understood that there is an option to use ini file to get a specific list of what to remove - is this availiable for VMC only?

thank you

I would select Recommended compatibility and left the Media Center unchecked for the removal, select all others. Then when moving forward it will warn you what else you need to keep, like WMP, Remote Desktop...

Answer Yes for those.

It should work fine. Also browse through the components and see what else would you like to keep.

When you install it do not activate it until you are sure that it is a keeper.

thank you nuhi

the "recommended compability" you mentioned is built into vlite?

or is it something I need to download?

are there any suggestions to what can be useful or important when using VMC?

I know that for example you need some things in order to play video files without problems.

will the recommended compability include all that?

thank you again

Yes you can select it in the Components - Compatibility list.

vLite will warn you if you select for removal something needed, don't worry about it.

And above all if something does go wrong no one will die, just reinstall it with that component kept. Be sure to post here if you encounter some issue.
