marcusj0015 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 how do i COMPLETELY remove packages?does pkgmgr actually delete the removed packages, or does it disable the feature, but leave the package?pkgmgr won't list all the packages, it will only list the standard packages, not extra ones like updates, is there a way to force pkgmgr to list ALL packages in an image?

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 use pkgmgr and give the MUM as Packagename parameter. I use this to completely remove packages like the DVD Maker and the Hyper-V drivers from my Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusj0015 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) ok cool, where are the .mum files stored?your OS is still stable, and updates install fine right?did you install SP1 after you removed packages????did windows update offer to install patches for stuff you removed?basically i'm trying to avoid a Vlite bugs, becasue Vlite stripped s*** out incorrectly and basically f***ed up the whole thing Edited April 12, 2011 by marcusj0015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) The Sp1 installs the removed packages again. I tested this with Sp1 Beta. The mums are stored in the Windows\Servicing folder. Windows is stable because you don't force a deletion of files like RT7Lite, vLite, 7Customizer Live.

marcusj0015 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 ok cool, that makes sense about SP1, that's alot better than it not installing, and TBH i already have SP1 integrated, i got an official MS sp1 ultimate image so, i'm solid on that, thanks!
