Windows 7 "Keep" List

**Kevin Raptor** · May 7, 2009

After few tests it keeps failing, with errors about system components (I don't know which). I've avoided BSOD leaving unmarked Drivers and Hardware support. At least I discovered that "Error reporting" must not be removed, installation asks for "wer.dll" if it's removed.

I am going to make this thing work, ill keep messing with it and see whats killing it.

Game Explorer should be added to the "keep or will not install" list. At least with the selected components of this preset file, if you add Game Explorer you won't be able to finish installation.

ok people, good news

i have a new "safe safe list", with a lot of components removed (1,25 GB ISO, 4,95 GB in HD including paging file). It installs fine on VMware. Not tested yet, I'm going to bed

sadly thats for 7 x86 and this thread was made with the intentions of x64. because win 7 will be the final 32bit OS from MS, so its working for you probably because its 32, I seen you were able to remove sqm which I know cant be done in x64 it wont finish install

**Tomorrow** · May 9, 2009

MS has not said that it will be dropping 32bit support in Windows 8.

And considering the still very big number of 32bit machines out there i seriously doubt they will stop supporting it in both Windows 8 & 9 .Windows 10 maybe...

Simply put people who have less then 4GB of RAM in their pc are not gonna see any benefit from 64bit.And by todays standards that is most laptop users and nearly all cheap netbook users.

mmm the fact is that my cpu does not support "virtualization technology", and i can't run a 64 bit guest OS. I have another PC that supports VT but it has only 1 GB RAM and 64-bit virtual machines are reaaaaally slow, so I test 32 bit first. I'm interested too in 7 x64, so I'll keep working. Anyway, I'm sure most of the removed components work for 64-bit too

**blueadmin7** · May 9, 2009

Hey, I've been trying to vlite 64bit ja version of 7100 like over 10 times, here's my problem.

IE8 runs but can't access internet option, and all right click menu is unaccessible within the browser area. Seems like 'internet option' itself refuses to boot affecting other trident engine compatible browser.

I'm testing this on vmware and confirmed that non-vlite works just fine.

I tried different vlite setup and tried just removing natural language / TabletPC / Speech Support and still have the same problem.

Any idea?

BTW: Maybe irrelevant but, I'm using wimgapi.dll (crc:066E0EEB) / wimfltr.inf (crc:77F633BC) / wimfltr.sys (crc:D8A4FF72), tested both on Vista64/Win7(non-vlited)

Try not to remove anything, just mae the iso with vLite and see if the problem is still there.

**FridgeTooFar** · May 9, 2009

Well Server 2008 R2 will be 64bit only so you do the math on whether windows 8 is 32/64bit considering 4 gb ram will be norm by the time it comes about. (32bit has trouble even reading 4gb, due to address space, etc the argument old as time....)

Did you try the configuration I posted above? I didn't try to use IE8, but everything else works in every regard.

I have stumbled into a showstopper bug possibly.Lately(well starting from Beta) ive had issue where Windows 7 builds become completely unbootable.
Basicly i installed a build and used it for x amount of time.When i tryied booting it a few days later it showed only the Starting Windows text and no boot animation appeared.This has always been consistent with these.Same place-same symptoms.Nothing also helped.
Startup Repair only gave vague idea what might be the case.System files integrity check produced code 0xa(not 0x0 wich means no erors) and once SR said A recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from booting.Other time it gave more vague Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused this problem.The F8 advanced options were useless too.Safe mode always got stuck after loading the first line:
C:\Windows\system32\system.Other options(as ntbtlog.txt,Last known good configuration etc seemed to not work at all).So now im(hopefully) close to figuring it out.I installed RC build.Only created one Restore point and then left it alone fow few days(that was monday).Today it booted fine.Ill wait for few more days to be sure.
The only differences with other install(that became non-boot) are(things i did back in that install that could account for this problem):
Installed Nvidia Display drivers(185.81).Installed Marvell Yukon NIC driver(Win7 includes older out-of-box) and installed ACPI ATK110 Utility(whatever it is) that Windows Update offered me.
Additionally on my dualboot system(Vista Ultimate x86 SP2) Diskeeper was allowed to defragment the Windows 7 partition.
In this install(that so far seems to be alive) i did not install any drivers and i completely disabled Diskeepers ability to defragment the Win7 partition.Lets see.Im suspecting either the ACPI utility or Diskeeper.If this install survives then im first gonna enable diskeeper and see if install boots after few days.if it does then im gonna install the ACPI utility and so on...

Ok i can confirm now that diskeeper is the culprit here.Heres the list of files Diskeeper defragmented on Windows 7 partition.I will ofcourse contact Diskeeper Support and let them know that such problem exists.Diskeeper version is Diskeeper 2009 Pro Premier 13.0.835.0

Servers are running RAM in exess of 12GB.It makes sense that Windows Server version goes x64 only.I dubt that much people will have 4GB when Windows 8 comes.I mean look.2GB was the norm a while ago but even today many still run barely 1GB.Not to mention netbooks where 4GB is really premium today(ASUS EEPC etch).Most still come with 1GB or 2GB conf.

I have 2GB so i see no benefit from going x86 to x64 currently.I will go x64 once i build a new PC(4-8GB RAM) but not before.

**FridgeTooFar** · May 10, 2009

I cant test it yet, been busy, will find out if it works soon enough but I highly doubt it I dont ever remember having a single disk finish install that removed sqm.

I have been keeping track of this topic for a few days and tried some installations for myself (not much success). From the attached preset it works if I keep Multimedia, Network, Services and System as well as the components with dependancies: Disc Clean-up and DRM. When I remove Multimedia-components, it fails during installation. I am now going to check with the System-components removed.
