Kelsenellenelvian Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 vLite will to some extent work on Windows7. BUT it was not updated for Windows7 so support is very limited.As for another application? NO none yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillaume Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It would already be a great help if someone writes a frontend for DISM. Should be rather easy. It should:1) Mount the WIM-file2) Make all packages available (by removing the "Owners" keys from and setting the Visibility to 1 in the Software hive3) List the available packages (by parsing the DISM output and putting a checkbox for every package)4) Removing the selected packages and check whether DISM was successful5) Unmount the WIM-file, committing the changes.One would probably have not so much work when doing this in AutoIt, for example.

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 NO!The files are stored inside WinSxS folder and are LINKED into the destination folders like it was in Vista! The Backup folder only contains important files which are protected by the WRP (Windows Resource Protection, the successor of the Windows File Protection from XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 What movies get backed up in winsxs??Either way, I have some good experiences with a vLited W7 installation that was faster than its its un-vLited equivalent. Plus, it just feels better to get rid of what you don't use. Then again, I must say I'm not really convinced that it's worth the amount of time you (or at least I) put in it before it actually works.

DEKK3R Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Has anyone had any luck with vLite and build 7077 x64?I'm getting errors at installation (reports that files are corrupted...contact your administrator, etc) when i try. And this seems to be the case for whatever i try to take out. Vlite worked fine on build 7068 and, strangely, seems to work for 7077 32 bit....but not x64.

Guillaume Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Okay, I found 64 video sample files, adding up to almost 100 MB, now what? :s Still don't get your point, obviously. Furthermore, I can hardly believe such redundancy as you said you found; are you sure it's not just a couple of hardlinks to the same data on the hard drive? You should remove one of those files and see if there's actually some hd-space freeing up, or if it's just a link being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxii Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Still every time you install a hotfix, it has to install a zillion other copies of the same file? If files are being counted more than once, you still lose that space since it appears none of the utilities can handle links correctly/not include them.
