Update Integration Causing Reboot Loops

[Food4PC]

Hello Everybody here....

Let me get straight to the topic--- Here i have a strange problem.the problem is whenever i integrate any windows update(.msu) and remove the components using vlite v1.2 Final,my installation never completes(or u may say it completes) but never able to get to the desktop as it shows something like completing stage 3of 3 at the logon screen- it goes from 0 to 100% rebooots n goes on rebooting (looping).......

Though when i remove the same components without adding any update to my pre-integrated vista sp1 image(x86),the installation works.it finishes off perfectly.

i tried another way, also --- didnt integrated any update, just only internet explorer 8 beta 2 but again the same error..

I think this may be becoz i remove component cache(Winsxs). it might be like if i integrate any updates then i shouldn't remove comp. cache.

My vlite config file is attached (see at the top of this note),plz tell me if i'm removing something that is required for setup to work properly.

Also can somebody guide me how to disable driver signing check during setup,i get an error message saying my drivers are not signed.This breaks the unattended setup.

Waiting For Quick Reps!

EDIT

Tried the same config again, but this time didnt removed Component Cache.It worked!

But what i need is that a fully updated Vista uptil today but Winsxs removed!

if you get the 'loop effect' after removing winsxs, then you'll have to delete pending.xml from winsxs folder, after you've enlited the installation files

download THIS, extract it, open gimagex.exe, mount the WIM file with 'Read/Write'. Go to the mount point and in Windows catalog open the winsxs catalog and delete pending.xml

after this check the 'Commit changes' in gimagex and unmount the WIM file. now you can build the BootableCD in vLite

Thanks Wicio, I'm gonna try this right Now.

One more thing , if i integrate Winows search 4.0 and remove search(indexing) using vLite will the same thing work, as i've heard that if u integrate search 4.0 then indexing shudnt be removed using vlite though i think this may be a problem of winsxs.
