Yes that's the problem..i did not check the r/w. Thanks dead..One last thing how can i get the list of packages that can be removed using cmd or dism? Your 7201.bat file did not work for my 7231 even if I edit. Only the languages are removed and i think its only 4 packages that i've been removed. And the error shows access denied...

run dism /image:c:\s2 /get-packages which should list all the packages

then replace the names from the list in the batch file

@dead0: I checked if winsxs\backup can be removed, but I am not too sure especially when I read this

I am creating batch file that is reusable for the aactions specified, should not be that complex.

Hi all!
Nice results!
Anyone had tests CPC fully loaded Windows 7 vs elite Windows 7?

about winsxs:
I agree to Jeronimo, but maybe there is a some way to control Winsxs's actions, to reduce CPU and HDD load?

[Jeronimo]

I created all steps in 3 batch-files that should do the trick (along with the stuff dead0 posted in the same folder).

removal.bat (note the 5 parameters you need to alter):

Please note that VHD versions (as with my 7232 x62) have differeny versions in sources (taken from 7137), so you need to extract dism from the install.wim (windows\system32\dism.exe and windows\system32\dism\dism*.*) in that case and place the files in the sourcs-folder.
Also I have not yet tested vLite or installation yet. Think I will try plain installation first.

Great job guys (dead0 & Jeronimo) As far as the winsxs/backup folder i always delete it haven't had any issues with that. Scripts are very nice will have to give them a whirl. So far loving this build 7232 it works really well and its pretty much close to final.

[gendouhydeist]

BTW theres also 7260 Leaks available on usual sources but too bad only x86 are available for now..

Jeronimo, in line 3 of file rempckgs.bat you have a "ECHO":
echo %dism%:Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~%bits%~~6.1.%version%.0

is wrong?

Yep, that was a test. Thanks for the heads up, I corrected it (did remove the package, see last code-bit where he package is not shown).

hi, i just did a iso image for WINDOWS 7 and now when i want to start this iso in a virtual machine (microsoft virtual machine tool) win7 installation says me that the cd key is not accaptable for the installation files or smthing like that.
someone got a clue what might be the problm ?

I am creating batch file that is reusable for the aactions specified, should not be that complex.

it should be ok to delete the files from the backup folder as they're already in the system32/winsxs folder but i would suggest deleting those files from vstemp19\windows\winsxs\backup when vlite is doing its thing?!

[dead0]

ps if you use dism to remove packages, they are not completely removed? ie if you remove the printer drivers package, the drivers are still left in the winsxs folder so you may have to remove them manually! also, does anyone find that removing the packages actually makes the install size bigger?

[gendouhydeist]

guys do you have link for WAIK Win7, cause i need the imagex.. if you have link for it, pls.. give it here or.. PM me the WAIK or imagex thx guys.

if you only need imagex, use waik 1.1 as its much quicker than the one in waik 7

great help men.. thx mate

ive been trying to remove manually some files from the winsxs folder such as the japanese ime components, natural language, sample files etc but i keep getting install errors?

you mean to remove with dism without applying vlite after it?

[bledd]

imo, using W7 or even Vista Sp2 with vlite now is suicide, I won't be using it again until nuhi updates it

if you remove with dism, they dont show up in vlite! tablet pc is the main one that only shows up even after dism removal?

Hello again.

I have now used some few days to try and find out where the problems is when like Windows Features, Group Policy Editor, Snipping Tool, Sticky Notes etc etc have failed to work.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate RC2 Build 7229 (64-bit) installed in VirtualBox now, and it's working perfect here now. So i'm soon gonna install it for real on my computer.

So by this, everything are working out of the box after how i vLited it. But i don't know how it will work after you start to install programs and that. But i believe it will work pretty nice, hopefully.

I will give you 2 pictures with the things i haven't checked to be removed under. There are 85 things i haven't removed.

vLite Part 1 & vLite Part 2

This is what's not removed. And when i have removed the other things there, the ISO file takes 1.79 GB.

I can probably remove some few more things though, but don't think i want to take the risk of removing any more stuffs if i want a stable and fully working Windows 7. Will ofc try to remove more and try Windows 7 out in VirtualBox and will update this post if i find Windows 7 to still be rock stable and fully working when i have removed more things there though.

I found the 'Fax Support' to screw up the 'Windows Features' thing in Windows if you remove the 'Fax Support'. Help will also screw up Windows Features like it was told in the first post in this topic.

I think Printer Support and TV-Tuner Support also breaks the Windows Features to. But i'm keeping those anyways, because you never know when you will need a Printer or when you will get a TV-Tuner card. And who need Modem support today ?. Yes this one is removed to.

Edit: I found Windows Search to break Windows Features to if you remove Windows Search. If you want to remove it, then do it in Windows Features in Windows 7.

When it's about the Services you can disable etc. Then i found the service 'Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel Support' to be needed / enabled. If you stop that service you wont be able to start the Windows Audio and the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services. And if you can't start those 2 services, then you can't install any new audio drivers or get the sound to work.

But i wouldn't just start to disable lots of services if you don't know 100% on what service your disabling. Well it might not be a problem though, because you can luckily enable the services again in Windows after you have installed Windows 7.

Some services will make some of the features / things in Windows to stop working if you disable them, so just be carefull on what your disabling.

But i have disabled lots of services and still have a fully working Windows 7 though . But that's because i know what i'm doing heh.

So just keep those things as i haven't removed in vLite if you want a fully working Windows 7 Ultimate RC2 Build 7229 (64-bit).

I hope this helps some of you here with some of the problems you might have.
