zZolaa Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi,I always keep "MDAC" and "Jet Database Engine" because a bunch of programs won't work without those...However, unlike those two, so far I think "Esent97" (Extensible Storage Engine) can actually safely be removed and everything will work.Do you guys know of any programs that depend on it?

It's just that nlite removes it in a way that isn't good. I don't know what nlite does exactly, but just about everything JET concerned is easily deletable and i haven't noted any side effect to that.I don't know of anything that uses esent97.

Slinkie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm not sure if ESENT97 and ESENT are the same thing,but there is no ESENT97 on my nlited and further manuallystripped WINXP PRO. I removed ESENT and the only thingI noticed was that the modem/network icon in the System Traydisappeared. So at least ESENT is needed for lights.exe towork. Probably much more to it but that's a reply to your question.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
