[Guide] Liting Win8 with WTK and manually removing

[aviv00]

hey theKramer

1. if backup dir is empty its ok

2.

u search *.* (mask for all files) on those dirs and then add the files its finds to user list in wheresiti application

and then run search those files u add to user list on all image u captured

hope it its clear if not let me know

[mrpotter2510]

Hi aviv00, can u write a guide for reducing winsxs in win 8 to be small like the guide u have writen for win 7 please?

vLite doesn't detect components cache with win 8

[aviv00]

hey mrpotter.

sorry for late reply

u can try this

install windows 8 andupdates hotfix

and then capture the image without sysperp it

now with "whereisit" app start remove manually and carefully whats is duped from the wim image u created [have 2 copies]

if u did it with windows 7 u might know how to do it if not

u should read more about it and try it on vmware after that

install familer apps u might need to see the stability

yea its hard work tho now we don't have good app for winsxs removal from windows8

i might public same clg file i gonna create soon

not much maybe 1-2giga

the manually removing is saving much more

also Windows ToolKit removing is more to make it run faster

Hi aviv00.

I haven't gotten around to using this yet, however, I am looking into it now.

I have attached a screen, where for example, there are a number of items that are similar in name:

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_891afac5ef497dae

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16433_none_89500bfdef21d5c9

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16548_none_894a3f69ef256d94

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16579_none_892acfefef3cdabe

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16628_none_895fe127ef1532d9

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.20534_none_89daa913083e8eea

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.20534_none_89daa913083e8eea

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.20683_none_89a39b130867fe6f

amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.20733_none_89d9ac95083f6fe1

They are identical as far as: amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.****

Does that mean I can delete all but one?

If yes, which one should I delete? Do I leave the file/directory with the highest version?

Or should I delete all but one copy of: amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16*

And then delete all but one copy of: amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-drivers-hypervisor_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.20*

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't see any exact identical copies, but a lot of files that are very similar like above.

Thx.
