[SOLVED] problem with Vlite 1.2 and Win7 SP1 (MSDN)

[vincentvega007]

Thank you, but this method allows for the use of the program RT7Lite and I interereted in using only Gimagex and vLite of course.

you can just use Gimagex and Vlite

Super, we get back to my first post.

I did not understand, how to make Win7 SP1 compatible with the vLite using Gimagex. I read that it is necessary to change the date of some files and folders and I read the instructions how to modify the instal.wim with Gimagex and the question is how to combine these instructions together.

instructions for Gimagex are given in post # 105

not necessary to change the date of some files and folders

Thank you very much for replying to my question and supplying your preset.

1. So, how do you integrate Windows update? Is it via DISM?

2. As for integrating drivers, do you use RT 7 Lite to integrate drivers?

3. I understand your highly recommended solution stating that first use Gimagex, integrate the updates, then vLite and finally RT 7 Lite. For all of this steps, we do not need to install WAIK for Windows Vista and WAIK for Windows 7, right? I only have to insert vista vimfltr and wimgapi.dll in vLite folder.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks all, based on your advice I made ​​a working installation of W7lite SP1.

Everything looks good except windows update - updates some reports that have not been successfully installed - for example internet explorer 9.

Any idea what to do?

1) yes I use dism

2) Indeed, it is with RT 7lite I integrate the drivers

3) it's right

@bapt

Thank you so much for your explanation. You are very helpful.

For me, after using RT 7 Lite as suggested in your steps, I would suggest executing the batch removal file via Gimage to remove redundant fonts. This batch file originates from dead0's guide. That way, we can achieve further slim down of the image.

So, you remove winsxs via RT 7 Lite. Can you install Windows updates to your Windows?

Everything looks good except windows update - updates some reports that have not been successfully installed - for example internet explorer 9.

Do you integrate the msu version of Internet Explorer 9 into your image before using vLite? Do you remove winsxs?

yes and no problem

if I remove winsxs via RT 7lite, but not with Vlite

No I don´t. No I don´t, only removed some components in vLite.

@ vincentvega007

I would suggest that you integrate the msu version of IE9 into your image. The direct link for IE9 are as follow:

Win7

x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=210145

x64: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=210143

I mean, you really do not have to wait after Windows installation, to use Windows Update to install IE9.

As for some updates failed to be installed, I believe that the updates tried to update some components you have removed via vLite, and thus failed. I do encounter such case for my slimmed-down Windows 7 SP1. There is nothing much you can do, rather than rebuild a new image by integrating all newer updates before using vLite.

I know the method of integrating packages since the time XPLite. Even this method is not one hundred percent, especially with regard to the future. I can not imagine that it will build a new iso and reinstall the system with all programs every time MS release an update that will not download and install it using Windows apdate.

@vincentvega007

Sorry for confusion. I was not questioning your ability of slimming down Windows. Anyone using a customized Windows 7 SP1 with IE 9 integrated, should not be installing IE9, because it has been integrated. That is why I found it weird that you have to install IE 9, as if you did not integrate IE 9 at all.

No I don´t. No I don´t, only removed some components in vLite.
