Ventrilo
Components: Ease Of Access
Error: If you remove Ease of Access you are unable to use the built-in TTS (text-to-speech)

OcDevil, on Apr 28 2008, 08:15 AM, said:

Ventrilo will work just fine without Ease Of Access, but if you need the TTS (text-to-speech), instead of just making a sound, the client "plays" the name of the person logging in or out of the server/channel. This will not work if the Ease of Access is removed, because the Microsoft TTS software is a part of the Ease of Access feature.

Vize
Components: System -> .NET Framework (Extreme)
Error: Does not open.

vLite
Components: System -> .NET Framework (Extreme)
Error: "The application failed to initialize proiperly (0xc0000135).Click OK to terminate the application."

WinAMP
Component: Microsoft HTML Engine
Error:Shoutcast TV/Radio wont work without it. It installs/works fine when just playing music n movies just gets an error message when selecting an online service like the two examples above.
Note: It is safe to remove Windows Media Components and WMP when installing WinAMP as it installs codecs which lets you play AVI, MP3's etc..

Windows Live Messenger
Components: Services-->Events Log
Error: The Messenger Sharing Folders USN Journal Reader service use Event log to work properly. You may encounter some errors when you want to use sharing folder in WLM
Note: Using Windows Live Messenger for normal use still works fine.

This thread should be made sticky.

And more people should participate considering that Vista is going to replace XP in time.

Hmm, will try that then

I thought it was stated by Apple themselves that iPod would not function (at least not as it should) if you remove / disable the smartcards

It's not the subject but recently, the CIO of Microsoft clearly said that Vista is a "work in progress" so I really don't think that it is going to replace XP soon... Windows 7 is more likely to be the real xp killer.

Not wanting to get offtopic here:Every OS is "work in progress".XP,Mac OSX.Well maybe not Win ME

EPSON has same issues, when "vistaish" drivers removed won`t install (XP nor Vista drivers)
Just hangs on driver install...no errors...no nothing...
Only "exit" is kill setup & other setup processes from TaskManager (0% CPU usage btw, left overnight)


Tested on StylusPhoto 2200 & StylusPhoto R200

Samsung, Works fine (ML-1610)


EDIT:

BTW there is minor error in this list...

Problaby a minor spelling error that has been corrected if you look at the first post.

[strengthofmind]

Is it 100% true that if you remove any components from Vista, future service packs will be uninstallable?

I read here:
http://www.leog.net/...?TOPIC_ID=12465
that you can remove the language packs and SP1 will still install normally.

If that is true, would it extend to any other bulk on the disk, like the non-essential bundled drivers?

Off topic now, but is there any chance of a xlite'd / hacked SP1 install that would work on a vlite'd system, such as a modularisation into individual hotfixes and a loader that will abort any failed components? Or the possibility of a similar thing for SP2 in the future?

thats true mate.Every conponent that you remove increases the risk of SP install will fail.If you know you are going to install a service pack to vLited Vista then do not remove anything.Better yet...get a Vista image with SP1 pre-integrated and remove what you want or use the vLite slipstream tab to slipstream SP1(still kinda buggy tho...).This was a big problem 3-4 months ago when SP1 was in Beta/RC.But given the options available today its a pseudo-problem.
