I appreciate the work of those involved but these guides are very poorly laid out and written. Many people are receiving errors due to steps overlooked or not easily understood due to gaps in the guides.

May I suggest a detailed, step-by-step guide that uniformly addresses what users should expect, must do and can easily understand? One will be surprised how a little structure in guides goes a long way to solving common issues and preventing common mistakes.

What kind of errors did you get running removal.bat?

@kawe: I saw it, but I will not participate in illegal distribution.

@Cr4z33: sorry, but I can only help you out once I have my own non-English release. I had no issues when integrating Dutch, removing English and that performing the additional actions.

ah well, ur right, missed that. well now i am trying to follow some guides and do it myself but still cant figure it out why i am having problems finishing installation. Replied to other topic but with no results. maybe u can help out

i followed the guide made by liquid and finished removing components with dism. problem is that at end of install i get error that setup couldnt configure win to work with my comps hardware..

didnt even edit the removal/components batches

[franner]

Thanks alot for your lovely tool Jeronimo, I have been using it for some time and playing around with the removal in integration of language packs.

I got 2 suggestion for a "maybe" better code:

When i run removal.bat it doesnt want to open dism.exe (cannot find the %sources%\dism.exe). I found a quick solution by moving the "set sources=%DVD%\sources" just below "set dism="%sources%\dism.exe""

like this

Rem Sources
set sources=%DVD%\sources
Rem Dism
set dism="%sources%\dism.exe"

Next part is the

:langpack
%mountimage%
%dism% /image:"%mount%" /add-package /packagepath:"%DVD%\original\lp7264x64.cab"

Here i changed
%DVD%\original\lp7264x64.cab
to
%langloc%\lp7264x64

%dism% /image:"%mount%" /add-package /packagepath:"%langloc%\lpx64.cab"

I hope u can use this information or test it yourself.

@Rommsey: I intended to share my findings here and to make it easier for others where possible, I had/have no intention of writing a step-by-step guide.
@Cr4z33: sorry but I am not going to look through your entire batch file to see if there might be a mistake in it.
@frabber: thanks, starter post updated

[franner]

I got an issue with integrating updates with the batch file provided.

Anyone else got problems with that? I can integrate them doing manual file names and locations, but when using the batch file it doesn't work. I have tried working it out but cant seem too solve it.


If i got the updates in the same directory with an other code it works. but when moving them to another dir it doesn't work. Anyone else got issues with "removal.bat updates"?
I am trying different options right now to figure out how to solve this but haven't yet. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue?

PS. I have tried the standard paths provided in the batch file, everything else works but the update integration

Well, considering I am running it on an Italian release and that I am not including languages, updates & drivers I get missing packages errors when running the packages and cleanup steps.
I tried to cleanup a little bit the batch, but if I will get no support into that I am definitely going to give up and use another better explained and better working method.

I cannot apply the install_wim_tweak in no f*****g way neither in a real x64 partition nor into wmware because of ownership problems.
SYSTEM is the owner and I cannot find a way to take the ownership of the SOFTWARE file located into C:\s2\windows\system32\config.
Even if I apply the authorization settings when I run the tweak I get that annoying error showed below again and again.
For the record it says something like "Exception not handled: System.Unauthorizedblah blah blah" and "Access to path: 'c:\s2\windowsblah blahblah' denied".
Please help.

Seriously people if someone finds a solution to this please post it here.

do you have UAC enabled? if so, try disabling that & try again? also, make sure you're using imagex from amd64 to mount the wim to c:\s2...?

This is why your guide is very poor and despite your good intentions to help people with your findings, such intentions are wasted by refusing to clearly state your findings and then not offer help directly to someone who tried to follow your steps and ran into issues.

Liquid's guide is superior and as such it's clear that Cr4z33 is making the better choice in looking for help elsewhere.

Judging by your intent and Jeronimo's refusal to help, I recommend Liquid's guide. His is very detailed and even if you make a mistake following his work, you can quickly isolate what and where you went wrong.

If you'd like further help, let me know.

I also maintain a guide that now has a semi-gui. If you are a noob modding x86, it's pretty solid. I say x86 cuz some x64 users are incompatible with the 16-bit choice.com file, so the user-selection is not gonna work. Anyway, if you want the full power of removal.bat, this is the right thread. Having a detailed guide is nice, but the cost comes down to user customizibility. The point of vLite is to customize Windows for the end-user.

If you have any errors, it will be your own fault 95% of the time.

Unless your using one of my programs, then its probably because I suck at programming

[Jeronimo]

@Rommsey: I make use of findings by other people and try to share that information here, if you look through my starter topic you will notice I do not use the word guide anywhere. I also state that I can only check the issues Cr4z33 is having when I have my own local version of Windows 7. Finally for someone with only 12 posts on this forum I think you should ease up a little, you have contributed next to nothing to this community and I suggest you adjust your tone as it is quite provoking.

[liquidzgurl]

rommsey- you referenced to liquids scripts and guide and its great that you and other users are finding ease of use and success in utilizing them however I must agree with jeronimo about your use of words and the message it portrays it displays a certain level of disrespect despite feelings you or others might have about any specific issues to anyone such as you stayed jeronimo and a lack of assistance so to speak what I think needs to be mentioned here is that without jeronimo dead sausagehack and everyone else that has provided time effort trial and error to make lite windows a success liquids guide and scripts would not be what they are everyone has their own preferences and jeronimo has put just as much time and effort into his work if not more so than liquid has himself so a friendly note to all please keep more negative comments to private messages or refrain from them altogether everyone deserves credit not one or all let's try to keep peace and all work together to create a beautiful work of art out of this project we all have similar goals just personal methods of acheiving results

[franner]

I found out a quick solution to the update function if youre interested:

%dism% /Image:"%mount%" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%updateloc%"

here it would take all packages inside the update folder and add them. Couldn't get the other command to work, but this works perfect for me.
Try it out, i think u will like it.
But I dont think u can seperate .msu, .exe, .msi, .cab here. but it shouldn't matter as all updates should only be in this folder and nothing else really as said in the guide.

Thanks a lot, this did the trick for me!

It seems it only integrates msu updates, but that is fine, I only have 4 updates that can't be integrated, msi, cab, and exe. They're all MS updates though.

@franner: batch-file updated
@dridzz: You are using these commands by hand, I think what you should do is replace %%i by %i (at least twice!) in each "for-loop". When using it in a batch file it needs to be %%i, when manually entered on the prompt %i. Using rd on wildcards does not work, that is why I created a for-loop in the first place.
