Randomness Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) .: Download:. (Mediafire) I earlier attempted to make a guide for the services in vLite 1.6. Since then I have learnt an incredible amount about Windows and this program, thanks to users here on the forum and elsewhere. Now I have taken it a step further, making a complete guide on how to make the perfect vLite installation. It covers everything from A to Z, and includes a refined guide to services too! Feedback is deeply appreciated. Both bad and good. Edited January 1, 2009 by Randomness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice guide, but mark UAC as "Unsafe", because if you remove UAC and try to set it on, your Vista will be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomness Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 gr8 guide butmodem support should be depend cos its need to modem of cellphone if im not worng ?very understandable for newbie users and looking nice Although that is true, there are very few that still actually use a modem for Internet access. But because of the diversity of the countries in our world, I'll agree with you there and change the status.nice guide, but mark UAC as "Unsafe", because if you remove UAC and try to set it on, your Vista will be killed.Haha, who would want to turn that service on AFTER removing it? Thanks for the warning though, I'll write it as a comment.Very nice guide. =)I was not able to click on the links using foxitCompletely my mistake. I really prefer using PDF as the format, and I know it is in fact possible, so could anyone give me a hand on this one?

rmhainlen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It looks to be a great guide but I haven't even gotten to the steps yet. Something about installing the WAIK that vista isn't liking.....off to find the proper thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech0z Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Any idear what may be causing the issues I have ? I removed all the parts marked as safe and 90% of those marked orange/semi safehttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomness Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 @ rmhainlen: Is your problem that you are not able to install the WAIK setup, or is it that vLite won't open properly even after having done so? For the latter option, see the troubleshooting box on page 1 of the guide. @ Mech0z: Really sorry for the headache that must have caused you. Have you tried not to check the "Dynamic Volume Manager" in Hardware Support under part 4? At the moment, that is the only component I can see having such an effect. To save time, you should try using a program called "Virtual PC". It lets you install and boot an operative system inside your running one. Don't worry if you don't get Internet access or sound in the virtual OS, since I had problems with that too when trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech0z Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got it working now, I just kept everything that had something to do with storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmhainlen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) @Randomness,Definitely fixed my error....forgot to burn the iso to a disk.....I slept a few hours then figured out my mistake. On page 3, I am trying to integrate the hotfixes and you say, "select the two which are already there."I definitely have zero hotfixes. Is my system just not all the way updated?EDIT:go ahead and ignore that....just compiling it/burning to disk now.Thanks for the excellent guide....easy to follow.Later today, I shall test it out on a different partition.

realm eternal Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It would be nice to have the System names of services listed along with the Display names, similar to here: http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm The reason being that in non-English editions of Vista some of the services have localized Display names, and it is really difficult to figure out which is which unless you know exactly where to look.
