How did you mount the Image? Please post your commandline

i actually used imagex to mount, using the gimagex GUI with r/w checked? for some reason, i cant mount with dism? the mount-wim command is unknown?

on win7 u should use /m like

install_tweak.exe /m /p c:\work\wimmount

/m delete the owners keys from another location in the hive

that why u cant delete it cos only the owner could do that

a quick update, i have finally made an almost stable vlite'd copy of windows 7. its a mixture of dism & vlite with the install size coming to just under 3gb. the only major problem is that most of the mmc snapins dont work such as gpedit or local security policy?

ps regarding the install size, i could be wrong? it seems to vary when checking the properties of C drive?

A few days ago i did a very basic vlite to remove extra drivers, tablet pc, media center and languages to install on an Aspire One netbook with a 160GB HD (box said 120 but hey :) )

It works extremely well, RAM usage is about double of the pre-installed XP, it's normally hovering just below 500MB. I can confirm that it's definately as quick as XP on the Atom processor, and now when I switch to XP (dualbooting them) it feels like I've booted into the stone age. Kind of like the feeling when you first got aquainted with XP after living with Win9x.

Anyway, I've had an error when it comes to activation. slui.exe fails due to SCARDDLG.dll is missing. unfortunately I've already deleted my .iso and the vlite settings, but I'm fairly certain I didn't remove anything else other than mentioned above.

Wether this information is useful or not to anyone I don't know - after all I may have removed something else and I've simply forgotten - but I thought it was worth mentioning in case it is.

So for now it's back to the default install, I didn't notice any performance differences between this and a regular install, i just tried it to free up a bit of space :)

this ini works best:

with UAC disabled I can still use sidebar with this config. But make sure you do not re-enable UAC to full or else it won't run properly (explorer crashes, no control panel even if you are in admin group, etc)

if you DID happen to do so, just boot in safe mode and disable UAC again.

Sorry for the dumb question, but does this work for Windows 7 RTM (build 7600)? It worked for my beta but I have RTM now and would like a simple preset for vLite to slim it down. Thanks!
