IE8 Removal Possible ?

[Junior2613]

Just a simple question well it should be in theory. Is it possible to remove IE8 from windows 7 using DISM

Remove it completely, no - but removing the binary so it cannot execute, yes - using the "/Disable-Feature /FeatureName:InternetExplorer-Optional-<arch>", either /online or against a WIM /image: will work. Replace <arch> with the architecture of your Windows image - amd64 for 64bit, x86 for 32bit, and ia64 for itanic.
