Ok, I am trying to keep windows update so I can continue to get automatic updates on my Server 2008 build. However I am trying to remove as much as possible by removing the Component cache winsxs! However Windows Update needs the winsxs.

Is there anyway around this or any other options?

If you're aware to download your update manually and integrate them with vlite you can do so. But if not according to what it is said soon or later you 'll have error if you remove winsxs. I'll suggest you to keep it if you don't install often

So your saying that even if you manually download the updates they still wont install if WU is removed, right?

Does it break Microsoft Update?

I mean will it still check and notify you what updates are needed?

Removing winsxs doesn't break Windows Update. You'll be always notified that new updates are available but some of them (most of them) won't install. You'll get an error

Yea I made a new image and left in winsxs and Wu seems to work and install updates fine. However now my installed image is twice as large!

I guess thats about as good as we can get for now....

** the only thing I see wrong now is that add windows features (i tried to add deasktop exp) starts to install and gets to the end and always says element not found... Any ideas?

I guess this feature is broken since I removed too many comps?? LOL
