just save the help and winsxs that's all


my extreme vlite is 1.6giga hdd space and i use WAIK to do that [but after alot of testing]

the normal vlite is around 2.34GB hdd space [ again with waik and removed alot of Packages]


notice that i use waik to pre-install [offline install] aero

then i could save more space and delete the help and tablet pc

and the feathers add-on didnt work after that

anyway the aero is installed already so i dont need it

ok.. i've run the waik and i don't know what to set 'enabled' in DestopExperience to make aero work..
could you be so kind and attach your 'answer file'?:DDD

also
what's the correct order?
first vlite, then waik? or does the waik comes first?;/

many thanks in advance!

[aviv00]

ok i add the file

here the bat file i use to run it

copycat it as u want

type Untitled.xml

start /w pkgmgr /o:E:\Work\WimMount;E:\Work\WimMount\Windows /n:Untitled.xml /l:log

echo %ERRORLEVEL%


btw use gimagex to mount the image [install.win] with write access and save it

then u done go to vlite and make ur iso

should be about 800mb and 2.7giga hdd space[use gimagex info to check]

the problem is that my cpu (pentium dual core) doesn't have VT so i cannot make virtual machine with x64 OS on it :(
do you think, that if i get x32 to work, then x64 will work too? ^_^

[aviv00]

duno i hope so

if i had the rtm i would try it [the 64bit]

cos i want try the 64bit too

[WiCiO]

downloading another 2gb and playing with VM is just not my idea to spend weekend

[aviv00]

if u remove help then the feathers add-on will stop working

but u already add what u like


enlite waht u mean ?

This post has been edited by aviv00: 18 January 2008 - 07:52 AM

[WiCiO]

lol ;p
enlite -> nLite -> vLite = make it smaller

i just run your config and it worked!
now i'm trying to make it smaller.. ;]

thanx a lot!!

can i use waik to remove components from server? just like vLite?

[aviv00]

NP!

yea u could make it smaller at about 400mb [for 32bit]

but its alot of work [ about 2-3 hours work]

so if u wanna i will tell u


just like vLite?

nope vlite is diff

This post has been edited by aviv00: 18 January 2008 - 08:15 AM

[WiCiO]

teach me oh great master!

at the beginning maybe few tips in list what to do to make it smaller..
something like that:
1. with waik remove this and that
2. with pkgmgr do that
3. with xxx do something else

that would be very nice of you to do for a n00b like me ^_^

[aviv00]

lol im noob like u
i success to do that with lots of testing[about 2 weeks] and didn't fully understand what im doing

Ok

as u understand i done it with testing so cant ensure its will go easily

Guide How to Remove Packages with WAIK [ Could be use on Vista as well ]


use the original install.wim
hive in to regedit.exe the software [in system32\config\]

export to the packages
with notpade replace
"Visibility"=dword:00000002
to
"Visibility"=dword:00000001

save it and import it back to regedit.exe [ click it twice, u should take owner and full access first]

remove the Owners dirs of all the packages [ save it from time to time so u wont get mistake and need to go back]
use this short-cut
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=821972

save the hive with unhive it [ save the wim changes]
use Windows SIM [ WAIK] to make the new clg file

start to make answer file to remove those packages u dont need [edit at 12.6: use <package action="remove" permanence="permanent">]

if u get error like 1023 or 1623 i dont remember u should rebulid the image with vlite [or start remove comps with it and rebulid, do that after u remove all the possable]

TIPS:

server 32bit have 201 packages i success to remove till 74 packages left after remove comps with vlite
those others that get those error i was talking before was able to remove now [ duno why ]

u dont need to remove the lang pack of any package if u remove the main the lang pack of it should go too

if u remove the server lang pack the while the install u will get error

Go extreme with vlite & Server
if u want to remove winsxs as well and still have the aero
remove the pending.xml in winsxs dir [install.wim]

tell me about ur exp. with it
GL man
