no, I haven't even heart about this tool. Why Win8 ISO/DVD you use use? The ESD version should not work, you'll a version with an install.wim

Try the WinToolkit, especially after it releases v.1.5. Again, it will require an install.wim.

Actually, there is a forum for Winreducer. Here you go: Winreducer Forum

Apparently, you're the only person who presents those symptoms. I've got 0 problems with Winreducer.

winreducer 8 is nice tool and 1st and single tools for win 8. wintools kits .. 1.5 also not good for components remover i use 3 tools for its and nice output

1 wintools kits - for legacy .net 3.5 ,for some twink and for SFX and update

2 vlite - for remover components but donot remover winsxs and some network related other wise its fails to install in 2nd boot process ..

Could you specify which network components not to remove in vlite to prevent the install from failing?

Sorry to bump a 4 months old thread but i'm a bit confused

Do i need to use all 3 of these tools to remove unwanted parts of windows 8 ?

Hi all,

It depends on what you want to do :

- Win Toolkit : add things to your ISO

- WinReducer 8 : Remove things from your ISO

- vlite : not sure about what it could do for windows 8

Hi dave999,

Can you explain in brief, how you did this to your Windows 8 ISO?

1- Enabled .Net 3.5

2- What components you removed with vLite

I have used Winreducer 8 and removed many things, everything was fine but after installation 'User Customization' doesn't work in my case.

Thanks.
