Windows 7 x64 vLite "extreme removal"

  • 2 weeks later...

I went trough all this Guide and it all worked well but one thing does bother me...

none of the remove.bat are working properly..I always get an error "access denied" at every file the batch want to remove from the mounted image.

I tried JJ's DISM Tool and GImageX Tool both with write access on the Image but I just dont get the write/delete access...any ideas?

Also Im unable to remove Files in the image by hand (have got admin rights)

Removing Packages with DISM works

Running Win7 64bit and slipstreaming a Win7 64bit Pro Version.

I think I got the same error also. Try this:

When you have imported the reg file, right click on your mounted folder and click "Take ownership". You may have to restart the computer. As far as I can remember, that worked for me.

Just so you know that I successfully created a smoothly running installation (be it after about 6 trials). I attached the batch and the vLite .ini.

What size did you get it down to? I can only ever get it down to about 1.8GB.

Were you able to remove IE as well?

Cheers

Install.wim is 1.74GB. Had no intention of removing IE8.

Thank you for the Reg file..thanks to this I could get closer to my wanted result but

Hmm thats weird

when I execute the batch file normaly or with admin rights I get the same 2 types of errors as before

when I go into the folder and search for the files that are listed in the batch file I can remove them manually

Of course I could remove all files by hand now but that would be alot of work and wasted time...

*sigh* why doesnt those batch files work properly ?

:(

what cleanup phase do u mean?

1 delete packages with DISM

2 nlited components and so on

3 deleted files via batch file

(now it worked btw had to take over ownership in all folders manually, remount the wim file and then run the bat file again)

4 burn iso

but im still at step 3 so far

Recommended use

1. Modify the removal.bat to fit your needs (just in case you forgot)

2. Integrate Language pack (removal.bat langpack)

3. Integrate Updates (removal.bat updates)

4. Packages removal (removal.bat packages; 3/4: removal.bat pre)

5. vLite (Component removal only)

6. Cleanup of files and folders (removal.bat cleanup)

7. Integrate Drivers (removal.bat drivers; 6/7: (removal.bat post)

8. vLite (Tweaks only: reduce image size after cleanup)

9. Test on a secondary partition or to a virtual environment (such as VMware)

10. After installation final steps can be performed (removal.bat final)

Having reviewed the whole thread, I think my errors might be due to my using Vlite to remove too much. Unfortunately I am away on business so I wont be able to verify this for another week :(

Hope you get your issues fixed pretty soon

Did you modify removals.bat in any other way than to change the file directories?

Congrats on your success. Hopefully I will be able to sort my problems soon :)

great tutorial !!!!!!!!!

but I have a question

what can I do to add more languages with the removal.bat

I mean it is possible to choose language when installation starts ?

And after this installation and OS will be in language what you have chosen ?

I have second question (a new problem) :(

I finished everything what You wrote.

And when I try install system on Vmare or on the fresh formatted hard disk from dvd i see this message:

A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step.

Can You tell me why ? It is possible that some package (what I remove by removal.bat) have important files,

and that's why this message comes ? If Yes what package it's depend on it ?

Please help !
