Jeronimo Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) @Jeronimowooohhh!!! that an awesome batch mate... well thx!! greatly appreciated.anyway i noob question here.. whats the difference of deleting the folder and nullifying the folder? does the nullified folder will be removed after rebuilding the image??I remove only drivers from winsxs and all other related folders (with help/info from dead0 ), I do not need to nullify those I think. I did check with the tool underxp specified which folders are biggest. For the drivers I removed all folders of over 2MB that I do not need (I have an Atheros WLAN card, that is the only driver I kept).

theruan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi, i was trying to reduce the amount of data of "windows rc1", on vlite it showed that the reduction was to be about 3,3gb or something like that, i obviously realized it was wrong, but at the end it only reduced in 800MB, and be sure i've taking out only 840MB is that right?i've attached the preset i used, i've not tested it yet, it was only supposed to me to have an idea of the amount was possible to take out, so i can realize what kind of softwares i will be able to put in at the end.Thanksteste_nu_rc.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxik Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ok, here the preset I am using. You have to understand the batch-file included (rename it to removal.bat). There are some comments, but you must know what you are doing. Use parameter all (removal.bat all) for removal of packages and cleanup, parameter packages (removal.bat packages) just for for package removal and cleanup (removal.bat cleanup) for just the cleanup. You also need the install_wim tweak and correct the paths in the batch file to fit your needs.I could try and remove ICS and Windows Firewall, but I doubt that will work (maybe I will give it another try). I was able to remove Internet Explorer and keep Firefox plugin IE tab working.However I think this is the limit for now (install.wim 1.02GB, Windows-drive 3.25GB excluding page-/hibernate-file) and I am happy with it. Just need to see that everything functions as it should, as I have not yet done extensive testing.For safe removal you need to perform the following command after installation:regsvr32 /s "%SystemRoot%\system32\ieproxy.dll"Hi, can you please post the attached files again. I cant download them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
