aviv00 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) there a list what is safe to remove with vlite but for rt lite i think its ok to remove all im not sure Edited November 18, 2010 by aviv00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvinkhorfire Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) aviv00Thank you for your explanation. Yes, I realize that there are lists of safe-to-remove components for both vLite and RT 7 Lite respectively. It is just that you choose to use both of them together to slim down Windows 7. I was wondering whether removing certain components via RT 7 Lite may prevent the Windows image to be successfully slimmed down by vLite. Do you consider this factor in your config file, WIN_INSTALL.rar?It is okay, aviv00. Don't worry about this matter. Perhaps, I was thinking way too much. Nevertheless, thank you very much for sharing your config file. Edited November 19, 2010 by alvinkhorfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverthesless, thank you very much for sharing your config file.npi choosed the same comps there and in vlite cos rt lite not always remove everything or dont relevant to it or the jp lang cant remove with rt lite cos its killes the office installation but vlite know to remove it well so with both of them u can get gr8 slim down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tistou77 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I integrate the microsoft updates to ISO, and I delete the winsxs, not be a problem later to uninstall updates, what do I do?first remove winsxs and after incorporating the updates?Do not delete the file "pending.xml" and change something?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZileXa Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hmm using method 5 (simply doing RT7Lite first, remove all the components you want and then use vLite only to remove WinSxS) would mean a drastic drop in installation size? But what are the side effects?Or should I use RT7Lite to remove winsxs (is that possible?) and then use vlite to do the same?I thought using RT7Lite 2.6.0 would be the best way to remove components first and then use vlite to only remove winsxs.Also, I am currently integrating SP1 in a fresh Win7 dvd (x64) with RT7Lite... anyone tried that and removed winsxs afterwards with vlite?And do I still need to install kb947821?

aviv00 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) with the set i gave there its should be ok if u choose something else its should work fine but i cant ensure its hard to tellrtlite dont remove winsxs completely as i tested sometime ago about sp1 yeah its should workand yes u need to install the hotfix too if u like to update Edited January 17, 2011 by aviv00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZileXa Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply. I used your set in RT7Lite but I did deselect all drivers (to keep them) except for floppy.---> But.. WinSxS was NOT selected using your set! So I selected it myself... because thats the whole point right? Removing it in RT7Lite first and then in vLite.Now creating an image, I will use this image in vLite to remove WinSxS completely using your set...

aviv00 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 yes its not select cos didnt update it "winSxS was NOT selected using your set! So I selected it myself... because thats the whole point right? Removing it in RT7Lite first and then in vLite."u mean removing winsxs with rtlite too ? im not sure about it but should be okvlite remove winsxs very good i guess no point for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I understand RTLite is only used to remove other components.So for WinSxS removal, you actually don't need rt7lite at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the last session files for RT7Lite and vLite, I am getting an error when vlite is rebuilding the image, same error you see here:Press ok --> finalizes. But I cannot install windows with this image.. too bad seemed to be the best method!EDIT: sorry just saw the new config files for SP1 in your first post!! going to try those right now Edited January 27, 2011 by ZileXa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
