Can't support something that doesn't exist.

My point is that it does legally exist and that you are wrong for saying it does not.
i try it but dont work. i got a smaller iso but the hdd size is about 8 gb so that it is not really shrinked i think. ok iso is smaller but the request hdd size has to change.
windows 7 pre-beta and vlite worked like a charm. my install size so far is a little over 3 gig on virtual pc.
Windows 7 doesnt work with pkmgr and peimg , but with dism so i doubt that Vlite works for htofixes etc
u can shrink it but the space requirement dont be changed. i got the 7,8 gb free space need if the iso is shrinked or not. so not useful for a eee pc installation like vista.
so i will try with the new sp2 for vista another playing
so i will try with the new sp2 for vista another playing
i guess that vlite dont find the printer drivers
which is a bad space wasted
which is a bad space wasted
I was trying too, also to shrink it for eee installation. I was able to compile an iso but it wouldn't boot. I guess I could try it again and be a little more conservative with respect to what I take out.
I think we have to wait or at least report thing we notice.

Wow, nice foreplay
Component removals seemed to work.Hotfix integration etc did not(for obvious reasons)
I made the ISO.Just needs testing

Windows7 seems to might get the much wanted MinWin after all!
That should make things a lot easier and better for nuhi to make one of the best nLite / vLite we've ever seen!

Successfully vlited win7. I need to work on taking a few more things out though to get it to fit comfortably on a 4gb eee drive though. It tough because it's very picky about what can be taken out and still have it install. I'll also do business instead of ultimate this time. I really don't see much of a need for media center on an eee.
I found one of the things that was causing it not to boot was the removal of manual install. Without pagefile and hibernation I'm now just under 3gb installed and working on getting it smaller.
Yep Vlite works fine, exept for drivers (Never worked for me.) and hotfixes.
Those things you need to do with Dism.exe.
(Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool)
Mount an image from Windows 7 and go to "System32" in the mounted wim.
Copy the directory "DISM" and the file "DISM.exe" to the system32 folder of your computer.
For x64 this is wow64 ( Im not sure cause i dont have the x64 version. )
Open the DISM folder and register the dll's inside (Some cant be registered.)
Then do "DISM.exe /?" without the quotes in a command promt.
Then you will see how it works.
I sucsessfully integrated drivers and the hotfix that is there for Windows7. (Used Vista drivers for that, most work fine.)
So the old ways to do this will not work on Windows7 anymore (pkmgr and peimg.)
And very importand is to not empty the sources folder on the root of your windows7 DVD.
With Vista it was no problem to remove all things in there exept "boot.wim" and "install.wim"

This has the look of a good OS, I've not yet begun stripping it down yet as I am still playing with an untouched Ult, but I will follow your progress guys and will soon start on MCE also

This would not install on the 4gb disk on my eee but I installed it to a vm and ghosted it to my eee without a problem. I did end up quickly going back to xp though because win7 wouldn't allow the power management utility to launch, even in compatibility mode and as admin. Too bad that this utility is a deal breaker for win7, at least for now because all the drivers installed just fine.
Without system restore, hibernation and having my pagefile on another drive this install is 2.75gb

so i tested and it works... win7 6801 and vlite work! sorta... it's picky depending on what you choose to remove. maybe we should start with a list of items that must remain unchecked when stripping win7.

Not surprised.MINWIN is the hostname of Vista setup (no seriously)
you cant connect to the 'net during setup or open sysdm.cpl but if you run any utility that displays the local hostname after choosing Repair after booting from the Vista CD, itll display the hostname as 'MINWIN'

Not surprised.Um MinWin was not scrapped.. its part of windows 7.... MinWin is the Core of the os that they have been working on for about 10 years Since the windows code before hand was kinda crazy and all over the place. MinWin and its advances are going to be what future versions of windows will be built upon.

Thanks for the heads up spOOf, please empty ya inbox man....
EDIT: Few q's guys whats the min that must be left in the root & sources dir for the OS to work.
Imbox empty now.... 
Just in testing 7 with VLite seems to work fine here. I did notice you cannot remove many files from the Sources dir as we do in Vista cause the installation won't get past the pe boot.
Anyone else noticed this?

So I figured out what it was: if you remove "Crash and Dump Support" you won't get hibernation on windows 7.
-YACO
this also happens under Vista when you remove Crash Dump Support.
would've been nice to know a few days earlier :

-YACO
also... "System Restore" is another component that is required for windows 7 to work:
System Restore
Crash Dump Report
Manual Setup
Don't Customize Owner Info
and I'd Protect the followin files to be able to user Blue Badge and Hibernation:
Windows\System32\wisptis.exe
Windows\System32\ieframe.dll
Windows\System32\shell32.dll
Windows\System32\stobject.dll
Windows\System32\TabletPC.cpl
Windows\System32\themecpl.dll
Windows\System32\themeui.dll
Windows\System32\powercfg.cpl
Windows\System32\drivers\diskdump.sys
Windows\System32\drivers\dumpata.sys
Other than that, you can pretty much remove everything else you want/don't need.

it seems that with build 6956 we should leave alone the Unattended part, it installed fine if I removed the components, but if i touched the unattended part, it failed to install with the same error you got
