zwaldowski Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Aviv, my experience was that it didn't finish installing (hung about 3/4 of the way there). Although it did create thousands of folders in the winsxs directory. I was using VirtualBox. Do you have a link to the older Windows6.1-KB947821-v4-x86 ?mraeryceos, you have to leave it for quite some time. It will finish installing once it finishes creating all the folders, which will take quite a long time. Mine took about an hour, but I still can't install the April 13 updates, but I don't know.

Zumoc Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 [Guide] Windows 7 Safe WinSxS Removal With Vliteby bypassing / ending Setupand Make OS still updatable Ver 1.21 : just remove Pending.xml from winsxs dir using imagex.exe It is possible this but I wonder integrated updates are installed. Removing the file is likely pending.xml you do not install the files mentioned in the XML? I completed a version of which I removed removed 90% of the contents of the folder winsxs using vLite. I also removed the file pending.xml. I repeated the operation with the premium version but has problems with Windows Update. He sees the files that were integrated. This problem is trying to integrate this update before or after removal of the file pending.xml. So with this method is not certain that all updates are truly integrated and functional.

aviv00 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 hey zumoc "Method 1 : just remove Pending.xml from winsxs dir using imagex.exe[before u delete this file u need to know its like file with some proccess that need to be done after doing update or removing or adding packages mostly not effect the system]"read what in the [ ]the best way is install it on vmware let the pending.xml apply [updates and same other things] before remove the winsxsthen use sysperp to reset the hardware config capture it to wim and then u will be able to remove winsxs without worrying about the updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mraeryceos Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) It has been my experience, that without the empty directories in the winsxs folder, some software/updates will not install. (though I didn't try method 4) Edited June 19, 2010 by mraeryceos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutfu Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'm confused as to what order I'm supposed to do things in to retain updateability, and I can't quite understand what is meant by]Method 3 : before u apply winsxs removal using vlite install the os on vmwarethen sysperp /gen capture it to wim image and then use vlite to remove winsxs [its best the way but its longest too no need to remove pending.xml if u use this method cos its already applied ]so before removing winsxs with vlite, as in, make a "vanilla" (untouched/default) install in a virtual machine, run update kb947821 to repair winsxs folder (but it shouldnt be changed at all because we haven't done anything yet....???), extract winsxs from the virtual machine and replace the winsxs on the iso that I've already wim-tweaked and dismed then apply the winsxs removal in vlite.Is this correct? Also, it might just be me, but I've never seen a winsxs removal option in vlite. I keep checking and I just cant find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviv00 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) heyno after applying vlite without winsxs removal install on vmwaresysperp ituse gimagex to capture the image then use vlite to remove winsxs without need to remove pending.xmlthis method is is the best if u going to add updates to ur iso and drivers after install the os on Hostinstall the update to fix the updatabilityi will work on .ini file with save files so u could use sysperp after remove the winsxs Edited July 3, 2010 by aviv00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
