Jeronimo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks, I need to recheck some things:Removal drivers after removal packages (otherwise package-removal fails)QoS kept, still no manual WLAN (I overlooked something)Windows Image Viewer does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underxp Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Dead0, files from DriverStore folder are link to files within WinSxS, why you delete from DriverStore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead0 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Dead0, files from DriverStore folder are link to files within WinSxS, why you delete from DriverStore?i just delete any remaining prn, wia,ati, nv, from driverstore, inf, winsxs & manifest! even though they're linked explorer doesn't show the actual install size correctly?ps on a side note, does windows 7 share the same core files as server 2008 r2? so besides the added server features, ultimate & server are one & the same?

underxp Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I don't think that both are equal. Server OS are optimized distinct that Desktop OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 no, both are the same. Server is configured for background services and server functions. Client/Workstation and Server version were always the same, only with XP MSFT was not able to finish the .net server Version in 2001, so that this version was more stable because it was released later.

underxp Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have 2 GB of memory, and always used a 32-bit SO. Actually I have Seven 7229 x86. With only 2 GB, do you recommend me install Windows Seven x64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid0624 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 No you should have a 64 bit capable processor along with 4gb of ram to fully utilize a 64-bit OSes capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underxp Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Well, i have dual core processor e5200 that support 64-bit, but I don't change to 64 bit OS yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeronimo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks, I need to recheck some things:Removal drivers after removal packages (otherwise package-removal fails)QoS kept, still no manual WLAN (I overlooked something)Windows Image Viewer does not workWindows Image Viewer is broken by dism-removal. Since I use IrfanView, I decided to drop Windows Image Viewer and WCS/ICM. EAP was breaking manual WLAN-connection set-up. Somewhere on this forum, someone one stated that it was not required, so wrong he was. I need to test 1 thing, because manual removal from wim-file causes safe removal to break. When I have worked that out, then I will post my final prest and removal-batch. I am coming close to install.wim of 1.02GB and installation 3.25GB (no swap-/hibernate-file).Can not be removed (installation errors):Internet Explorer, Windows Firewall, Internet Connection SharingCan be removed (reduced functionality):WLAN Support + Network and Sharing Center + EAP (no manual set-up of WLAN possible)Windows Connect Now (safe removal gone)Windows Image Acquisition (required for Webcam)Microsoft HTML Engine (Required for Firefox plugin IEtab)Can be removed (but keep re-appearing):Welcome Center, TBMCan be removed (no issues):Game Explorer, Snipping tool, Application ExperienceUntested (excludign the obvious components):Multimedia Class Scheduler (Still not sure if it is required)MDAC (caused serious issues in previous build/RC)Task Scheduler (Issues with event-sounds and Avast virus scanner, keeping it)Windows Event Log (would like to see errors while testing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 yes, on your machine the x64 version of WinVista/Win7 is recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeronimo Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yeez I finally figured out which component Safe removal required..."%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"I can not believe I did not think of that earlier, it is so obvious (dropping the sarcasm). When I move it to system32 and register it, then it also works. Just want to see if I can drop Windows Connect Now as well. After that 1 final test and I will post the details.

Jeronimo Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
