Image not getting smaller - why?

[lenardg]

I tried removing components from the Windows Vista image using vLite, however, the image file is not getting smaller. I have checked a lot of components that I do not want, and yet the image file generated is about the same size as the original one. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.

(I am trying to shrink a Vista image from Microsoft, that has SP1 included -- is it possible to shrink that?).

Thanks for any help.

Did you rebuild or just apply changes ?

liek hannubys already said, you must rebuild the image. This is also shown as a help text in vLite

Thanks for the help. I must have been blind or something :-)

But I still find it confusing that I can go and save an ISO on the ISO tab, without first pressing the Apply button, and thus rebuilding the image or saving the changes. But now it works, vLite is rebuilding my image as we speak.
