MinWin was scrapped. :rolleyes: 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'

Windows7 seems to might get the much wanted MinWin after all!

MinWin was scrapped. :rolleyes: 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.

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"

Thanks for the heads up spOOf, please empty ya inbox man.... :blink:

EDIT: Few q's guys whats the min that must be left in the root & sources dir for the OS to work.

So... i'm removing something that is causing Hibernation on Windows 7 not to work... i really need hibernation. Does anyone know what could it be? (i'm removing pretty much everything (except for manual setup).

So I figured out what it was: if you remove "Crash and Dump Support" you won't get hibernation on windows 7. :thumbup

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.
