Oh god. I put setup.exe back in the sources folder but its giving me that error again about not finding the driver.

It worked the other day when I did the same thing - now it doesn't again.

Yes I did the install_tweak and I also removed packages first before I used vLite and I removed "Manual Install (setup.exe)" in vLite.

Says driver not found but I already made a rough one a few days ago where it works, why!

EDIT: Ignore me I was accidentally using setup.exe from the root of the DVD as opposed to the one from the sources folder, both are totally different!

This is the same mistake as the other day. :blushing:

Я понял в чем дело, нужен ключ именно от 7600, я ставлю от 7100, поэтому ошибки. Пробовал ключ из файла product.ini, доходит до установки и пишет, нет пакета для установки. А без ключа не поставишь!
=============================================================
I understood what is the matter, the key is needed exactly from 7600, I put from 7100, therefore errors. Tried the key from the file of product.ini, comes to setting and writes, there is not a package for setting. And will not put keyless!

I am trying to integrate language pack into w7 professional and vLite gives me "files missing, integration aborted" message. What's going on? I thought the lp.cab was enough!

You should ask Jeronimo that one is the language integration expert around here ;)

@Something Corporate: I only had this once when I used my external HD and it got disconnected along the proces, not sure what else can cause it. You are running it on a clean image, no vLite used on it yet to remove components?


It's all running on internal hard drives, clean extraction.

I guess I'll just have to remove gadgets in Vlite, but I know that still leaves the shortcut on the context menu...

It's only those 3 packages, everything else works fine. They all stop at 85.7%

7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_client_en-us_OEM_Ultimate-GRMCULXFREO_EN_DVD is the image.


Get a RETAIL image u are using a OEM image the packages might be different. Make sure you verify the HASH values using hash tab.


Thanks for the advice, but even with the retail image I get error 5 with the gadgets platform.

The only other thing I can think of is I'm installing Vlite 1.1.1 with the wimgfltr component, then installing 1.2 over the top. Are you guys installing the WAIK image?

oh by the way, when I specify files to protect, is it enough to just type the name or do I need to add path as well?

Hello

I used vLite for windows seven, but I can not change the language (with a language pack)

is an option that I deleted that because it works?

thanks

I studied all of posts here, about vLite-ing Win 7 so I'm joining. I used Home Premium 32bit, 64bit will be soon..

In my own test, I vLited my RC 7100 to 1,18 GB, I thing this is good result for one-year old vLite.

I post my universal preset, no problems during install, tested on Virtual PC 07.

I left Czech unchecked, system is designated to (maybe for) my Laptop.

Important: Windows Update removed, its useless for me now. Same thing for next "Needed components". This is only test to preview and investigate critically needed components in main release of OS. Also, I tested it with Dependent
component removal method, I use it for "Mass Tuning".

Unattended not included, originally set czech as main keyboard input, not set here.

Estimated ISO capacity: 1,18 GB, installed (I presume) something about 2-5 Gigs WITH Pagefile (and maybe Hibernation cache aka Hiberfile.sys).

In tweaks, Paging executive disabled for less HDD load. You can disable it if needed...

Please report back via PM if something fail I'll try to repair. Thanks

A little off-topic, but this may prove useful: If you want to compact your hard drive (ie drive compression) look at this:

http://portableapps....es/appcompactor

(Hope I'm not violating any rules by posting that, it isn't wimfltr or wimgapi or anything)

This is a free app that uses UPX to recursively compress EXE, DLL, PYD, BIN and other binaries in a given folder. Simply select the root of your hard drive and let it go overnight! You will get some access denied errors, so maybe using takeowns and/or icacls can fix that. I remember this taking about 1-2 gigs of my Vista partition about a year ago, share with me how it worked for you.

***Use at your own risk. I shouldn't need to even say that but sometimes a system file could potentially be corrupted.

This is intended only for PortableApps.com, not for Windows. I'm using PA.com so I know everything about this stuff.

I got wim-file below 900MB and installation below 2.5GB when removing .NET related stuff. However I do want vLite to keep working, so I need to look this through a bit more.

Maybe there is small solution with Win Integrator. I have this prog and its little bit.. uncompleted. IE still cant be deleted.. I thing this is good vLite follower when it will be usable for everyone and small thing here: component description (and dependency) is nowhere...

What's that unknown icon on the Desktop after I first logged on to Windows? I tried the elite preset on 32-bit RTM build.

Recomended use
Modify the removal.bat to fit your needs (just in case you forgot)
Integrate Language pack
Packages removal
vLite (normal run)
Cleanup of files and folders
vLite (dummy run: reduce image size after cleanup)
Test on a secondary partition or to a virtual environment (such as VMware)
Afterwards use the regsvr32-command to make safe-removal of external drives work (see removal.bat).


hi, i've been trying this method but its not working for me. i edited the batch file to match my needs, then batch file completes successfully. and later on when i try to run vlite to remove other packages as mentioned in the Excel file, i keep getting this error as shown in the picture. even if i don't remove anything using vlite, then also i get this error. any ideas :(?

There are a few bugs I found in my Batch-file. Maybe that is the reason. I am however still testing .NET removal before I can make it available.

could you just give a hint of those bugs? or is it related to the removal of some necessary package?
