hclarkjr Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 been waiting for some people to post which ones work with 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJinje Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Windows 8 tools might benefit from a re-tooling. The new features in DISM replace IMAGEX so the developers of 8Lite style apps won't need to include any WAIK files (because DISM 8 is in the RTM iso). Also if MSFT is now supporting the removal of files from the WINSXS folder, it likely means that nLite style images (of Windows 8 and 2012 only) might be available for use (and supported) at the corporate level.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Legos WinToolkit should work with Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patozan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The author says it does, but in my experience some features are not working well (like component removal). So no, there is nothing out there yet truly designed to work with Windows 8. Not to my knowledge, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to my knowledge, that is.Hello.You're right, I tried to use the last version of WinToolkit with Windows 8 and the components removal does not work properly. I succeed to actually remove some packages but there are actually still present or the application generates an error. Well it's not operational yet.I'm also very interested in finding a way to shrink Windows 8 for professional use.

Defcon79 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I read the vLite thread, and would appreciate if someone could post some scripts to build a lighter Win 8 Pro image with the bloat removed and a smaller WinSxS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogerlad Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Using dism to remove the packages and features, even with the tweak, have barely reduced the wim. I'm waiting for winreducer to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybully Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 1. The creator of RT 7 Lite, bensam56, recently said he will create a tool to shrink Windows 8, RT 8 Lite, if you wish. You can find out more at the Rockers Team forums.2. winterstorm, the creator of RT 7 Booster (renamed to Winreducer), has released Winreducer for Windows 8. So far, that is the completest Windows 8 shrinking software I've seen. You can find out more at the Winreducer forum (just Google "winreducer").3. Win Toolkit, from Legolash20, claims to work with Windows 8. Judging by the comments in this post, I'm not sure that's true. Anyway, you can find out more in Wincert forums.
