Could you send as attachment your "dism.log" and the "log.txt", please!

**grabben** · June 24, 2010

That "selectImagePathBtn" ... Something wrong with your path maybe?

What dod you think of when using 64bit waik for an x86 architecture ?

Thats 1 problem.. the other one might be that you placed 7Customizer on your userfolder, dont do that!

That's the problem, the OS I'm choosing IS x64. And I placed the 7Customizer in C:\ if that helps.

I hope Blue shows up again among us simple mortals soon

You can read the Guide!

On a computer with Windows 7x86 you can choose IMAGEX, DISM, OSCDIMG FOR X86 to make an .ISO file for x64!

I've tried successfully, and tested on Oracle WM VirtualBox (x86/amd64) with my computer x64! Works fine.

You will see inside the "log.txt": (Extract)

With a computer Windows XP SP3 x86.

Just to confirm that I'm not missing something...

is this program intended to replace vlite? I'm wanting to actually SHRINK my Windows 7 installation, and unless I'm missing something, this program doesn't really have many options for that. It's great for customizing an install, but should I be able to shrink the installation like in vlite?

No you shoudnt be able to at this point? Thougt it was obvious the remove components section hasnt been implented yet but i blue is working on that part whenever he can..

And yes its suppose to remove components but not now so yes the title is abit misleading

I hope blue reports back to us soon!

**pedilover** · June 29, 2010

@ AsSiMiLaTeD

When you will not wait for him, then take the 7lite Tool from Bensam56. With this tool you can shrink your windows up to 1 gb. this tool is no more buggy. The version 1.09 is stable but beta!
