MagicAndre1981 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 use Legos Win7 Toolkit, it should work with Win8, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidBatch Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, Windows 8 consumer preview version is released. Anybody try out to reduce Windows 8 size? I'm not sure if the method for Windows 7 lite is workable on Windows 8.FYI, If you Apply and capture the Index1 install wim using gimagex, Windows 8 loads in vlite and rt7lite. Not sure on anything else, basing my testing on how win7sp1 is done in rt7lite then vlite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matejdro2 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah, with Windows 8 for USB devices it meas that It's even more important to shrink your Win8 as much as possible.I hope there will be good solution out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Seems to me you were given a solution?.... (Post #2) Edited March 12, 2012 by Kelsenellenelvian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matejdro2 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes, it is a solution, but not very good one. I can only trim out features that were also present in WIndows 7 or vista. For example I don't need most of the preinstalled metro apps, but I cannot remove them with Win7/Vista apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 you can use the new DISM commands (/Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage) to remove Metro apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kables Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Was anybody able to use RT7lite to create a Win8 ISO? I just tried it. It prompts for the image to select and displays the Windows 8 image choices correctly. But when I select one, I get an error "Please select a valid Windows 7 operating system". Has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryan_ai Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I also got the same error "Please select a valid Windows 7 operating system" when I try to use RT7Lite on Windows 8 x86. Did anyone figured out a tool that trims Windows 8 OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 don't use this crappy tool. Use DISM to disable the payload of functions you don't need and remove the MEtro-Apps you don't like:http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/153742-dism-improvements-in-windows-8/or use the "Win7 Toolkit" from Lego.

matejdro2 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Could you post that ISO somewhere? I nearly everything in green using WinKit, but image is still 2.5GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bphlpt Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 But asking for instructions or a script so that you can modify your own copy to achieve such an ISO yourself IS allowed, and encouraged, as long as the process only requires tools that are openly available and truly free.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
