vinifera Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) hmm I guess the "base" for SP1 (17514)should be left too ? Edited February 7, 2016 by vinifera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yes, in most cases (except some IE-related stuff for instance), they should be kept as well. (With rebase you can compress most of the base versions to save space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinifera Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't get this for 7SP1in winre.wim - SxS folder is only 500 MB and it contains only SP1 files (base)so lets say your windows partition gets screwed and you shoot recoverywhat ? it would only fix SP1 files ? im bit too lost now...winre should be full system reset, yet sxs is... well compare freaking 6+ GB vs 500 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 You need to better understand how Windows recovery works. The winre.wim winsxs is a folder for the recovery environment only.It needs to be small, so that the recovery environment can be loaded in RAM. The full OS is copied later to the hard drive from an image, the install.wim.Inside the install.wim you'll find all the original sxs files required for recovery.Install.wim is found in the Windows installation media (sources folder). You need SP1-integrated installation media to repair a SP1 system. You will lose all installed updates and maybe programs/files after the repair.

vinifera Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 but are they barebones for OS or JUST for recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 They're just for the recovery environment operation. Main OS is not built by those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support for existing users will end as stated in the documentation. But on wednesdays nights? (only when the moon is full, of course) Anyway - not really important since the intended volatility of the tool (and of it's support, ending on 1st October 2016) - what you posted is titled documenation (as opposed to documentation). jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well, the interest for the program has been kinda limited. Probably the payment option was not appropriate but it was the best I could do at the moment. Given the low interest, it was not worth waiting for any 'late-comers' that might purchase a license to use the program just before the end of support. I always intended to stop availability just before end of support, it happended a bit earlier. For those who got a copy of the Rebase tool, I hope I've lived up to your expectations in terms of support and programming quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 you do realise that more useful tools were and still are given freely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) When I created Rebase in December, no free tool existed that could provide the same functionality. Usability of Rebase for the average user is, indeed, questionable. However, given there was no free tool that offered exactly the same quality of functionality I decided to distribute Rebase as shareware and measure its reception. I guess that most users don't grasp these subtle but substantial differences that exist between Rebase and other tools that offer similar functionality. Even those who may understand, they certainly do not trust an amateur, third-party developer. Winsxs management can be a tricky issue, even for Microsoft themselves. And of course, to put it in a more general sense, developing software may not be the best way to make money...

That surely is a fact: people who'll gladly spend up to US$15 on an old Promise SATA add-on board won't part with US$11 for RLoew's SATA patch, a software-only solution for the same issue... for me, it's hard to understand why, but I've seen it happen so many times, I'm conviced it's a fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
