How to totally remove unused editions from vista dvd?
I want to edit the setup dvd to don't show any versions of vista except ultimate, when user doesn't enter product key. Is it possible? Thanks

yeah... but HOW do you do it when you want 32bit ultimate and 64bit ultimate on the boot disc and not the others...?

i have vlite on my pc and i load my disc on vlite. it then asks me to pick a os i would like to edit... i want to edit 2 of them and delete the rest..

You should be able to rerun VLite on each vers. of your choice I guess & have lic. for both off course.

Mount and Export the images you want to a new .wim. I get Ultimate out of the rest
All 1 line

D:\VistaUA\Tools\x86\imagex /export /check /compress maximum D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\install.wim 4 D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\installnew.wim

Then delete original install.wim and rename installnew.wim to install.wim

Good reply Maxx, i thought these forums were about learning how to do unattended installs i,e, information learn the basics first not to push every one to nlite or vlite .

In that case Oldman your first Q. was as clear as mud.

Didn't think of the /export switch before!

thanks for the tip.
