yeah... but HOW do you do it when you want 32bit ultimate and 64bit ultimate on the boot disc and not the others...?

i have vlite on my pc and i load my disc on vlite. it then asks me to pick a os i would like to edit... i want to edit 2 of them and delete the rest..

You should be able to rerun VLite on each vers. of your choice I guess & have lic. for both off course.

my question was if i have 6 versions of windows vista on a disc could i delete the versions i do not use.

if so, how do i do it?

hopefully that made it clearer

Mount and Export the images you want to a new .wim. I get Ultimate out of the rest

All 1 line

D:\VistaUA\Tools\x86\imagex /export /check /compress maximum D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\install.wim 4 D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\installnew.wim

Then delete original install.wim and rename installnew.wim to install.wim

Good reply Maxx, i thought these forums were about learning how to do unattended installs i,e, information learn the basics first not to push every one to nlite or vlite .

I do not know why VLite is mentioned here @ all when it has its own section...Not in unattended Please....GOT....

In that case Oldman your first Q. was as clear as mud.

Didn't think of the /export switch before!

thanks for the tip.
