banshee28 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Ok, I am trying to keep windows update so I can continue to get automatic updates on my Server 2008 build. However I am trying to remove as much as possible by removing the Component cache winsxs! However Windows Update needs the winsxs.Is there anyway around this or any other options?

oskingen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) If you're aware to download your update manually and integrate them with vlite you can do so. But if not according to what it is said soon or later you 'll have error if you remove winsxs. I'll suggest you to keep it if you don't install often Edited May 27, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Does it break Microsoft Update?I mean will it still check and notify you what updates are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskingen Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Does it break Microsoft Update?I mean will it still check and notify you what updates are needed?Removing winsxs doesn't break Windows Update. You'll be always notified that new updates are available but some of them (most of them) won't install. You'll get an error Edited May 28, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get an errorYea I made a new image and left in winsxs and Wu seems to work and install updates fine. However now my installed image is twice as large! I guess thats about as good as we can get for now....** the only thing I see wrong now is that add windows features (i tried to add deasktop exp) starts to install and gets to the end and always says element not found... Any ideas?I guess this feature is broken since I removed too many comps?? LOL Edited May 28, 2008 by banshee28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
