i have successfully used vlite 1.2 to trim 764 pro install down around 2 GB's. is there any reason(s) why this won't work on 7x64enterprise sp1? the ent. version i have is not a 90 day, and has been running for 6 mths or so.

one note - the 7x64 pro, cut down version i'm still using was pre-sp1 and would the same "protect" file list be applicable?

i tried searching but i guess you have to be smarter than a search engine to get positive results.

thanks for any and all help,

There should not be any problem with the protect list, and the only difference should be in the image number.

i.e. Premium is image 2, Pro should be image 3, Ultimate image 4, etc. You can use gImagex to find what image number the Enterprise version is.

If you want to use vlite on a Windows 7 with SP1, you need to read this.

Good luck

i lost you on the image #. i didn't do anything involving a number on 764 pro and since enterprise is not bundled with any other os's i'm really not following you. what i did follow was that link you gave me... hope it'll all make sense later.

thanks for the prompt reply,

Ok, since there is only one image on the disk it doesnt matter about the image number.

With a standard disk, you have all the images on one disk, but you can only access the image that you bought the license key for, so you have 4 versions in the install.wim, and they are defined by their number.

e.g. I bought Windows Home Premium, so that is given the number 2 in the image, so if I want to modify that, I need to specify 2 as the number of the image...

thekramer,

when i did 764 pro i only used vlite and w/installing i chose "764 pro" i haven't had to use gimagex or w/ever it's called or dism(?) until now it looks like since i've got sp1 in these iso's, oh well.

thanks again for the help, gotta go fly rc b4 it gets to hot,
