I get an error during the first time login to system. It shows "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iessetup.dll, the specified module could not be found." But this error will not appear any more after rebooting. Which package will cause this error? I definitely remove too many packages

oldghost, you might try manually putting that dll into the install.wim file. Then register it before or after you install the OS.

I updated my removal batch-file in my topic here. I added the fixreg part, but your preparation can not be added I think.

You can create a batch file removal_custom.bat:

@echo off
 
 REM Initialising environment variables (check for your usage)
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM Windows codebase: amd64, x86 or empty (determine from %DVD%\setup.exe)
set cb=
REM Windows 7 build
set build=7600
REM Sub version
set svn=16385
REM Pre-part (the same for all Windows 7 builds?)
set pre=31bf3856ad364e35
REM Image edition (Starter, HomeBasic, HomePremium, Professional or Ultimate)
set edition=HomePremium
REM Obsolete - Image Index (pre-vLite: 1 HomeBasic/Starter, 2 Home Premium, 3 Professional, 4 Ultimate)
set II=2
REM Remove Microsoft.NET (C for complete removal, V to keep vLite working or K to keep)
set remove.NET=V

REM Folder of updates to be integrated
set updateloc=C:\Updates
REM Extenstion of the updates to be integrated (msu, cab or * for all/both)
set update.ext=*

REM Folder of drivers to be integrated
set driverloc=C:\Drivers

REM Language to be integrated
set lang=en-US
set langcode=0409
REM Program location intlcfg.exe (WAIK)
set intlcfg=C:\intlcfg.exe
REM Location Language pack and extracted files for Localised Setup
set langloc=C:\lng

REM DVD & sources-folder containing install.wim (and dism.exe)
set DVD=C:\ISO

REM Folder for mount (Dism/Imagex) or Root (Imagex)
set mount=C:\Mount

REM Imagex
set imagex="C:\imagex.exe"
REM Dism
set dism="%sources%\dism.exe"

 REM Command for install WIM tweak
 REM -----------------------------
 set iwt=install_wim_tweak.exe /p %mount% /m
 
 REM Initialisation part 2
 call removal.bat init2
 
 REM Prepares a working environment
 if "%1"=="prep" goto prep
 goto end
 
 
 REM Preparation for everything
 REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 :prep
 md "%DVD%"
 md "%driverloc%"
 md "%langloc%"
 xcopy "%ProgramFiles%\Windows AIK\tools\%cb%\imagex.exe" %SystemDrive%\imagex.exe
 xcopy "%ProgramFiles%\Windows AIK\tools\%cb%\intlcfg.exe" %SystemDrive%\intlcfg.exe
 if "%cb%" == "amd64" (
  xcopy sausageHack.ini "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\vLite\presets\SausageHack.ini"
 ) else (
  xcopy sausageHack.ini "%ProgramFiles%\vLite\presets\SausageHack.ini"
 )
 goto end
 
 :end

Best would be to run "removal_custom.bat prep", but "removal.bat prep" would also work:
The 1st command would set parameters, call removal.bat with init2 to set the remaing stuff, then continue withprep in removal_custom.bat.
The 2nd would set parameters, perform init2 part, run removal.bat with prep and do the above again. Downside: if Mount-folders differ from the 2 batch-files, then both would be created.

Hello

I've tried to read trough the .bat files, and have to realise that i am not at good at understanding them, as i thought

Therefor i have to ask this:

Using guide 3, which elements is being removed from my win 7 iso?

and secondly: Can i use vlite to do the same changes, without using these bat- files, just using the programs GUI ??

Thank you for your help
Lars Peter

[mcargy08]

is there any guide for Windows 7 Enterprise RTM?

[Junior2613]

Hmm it seems when trying to remove certain packages I get an error saying image no longer serviceable which is strange because it removes the previous package with no errors :S

[PopSmith]

Is it possible to do this guide (Guide 3) on a 32-bit OS FOR a 64-bit Windows 7 installation? I currently only have access to a 32-bit OS but would like to vLite a 64-bit version of Windows 7 before I install it.

I guess if it comes down to it I can install a non-vLite 64-bit then vLite the DVD and reinstall but I am trying to avoid that if possible.

You can only vLite a 64-Bit installation from a 64-Bit host OS. So basically yes you have to be running all this from a x64 OS.

[PopSmith]

Alrighty. I got Windows 7 64-bit (non-vLite'd) installed and re-did the tutorial but when I load the "SausageHack.ini" in vLite it doesn't do anything. I even re-downloaded and copied it to the vLite presets folder but it still doesn't do anything. I tried restarting vLite as well as rebooting my laptop to no avail.

Just select some general components that you want gone. If you open SausageHack.ini you can see the components that were intended to be selected. Good luck

Thanks SausageHack! I finally got it to work and am running Windows 7 (x64) as I type this!

Hi,
I am getting the following error when I run the command: removal64.bat packages

"The specified package is not valid Windows package."

I have extracted everything to the root of my C-drive. See the attached jpeg.

I have also attached the full output from my command prompt as a text file.

Any help appreciated.

Some people were having the same problem on Jeronimo's thread. They solved the problem by using a different version of WAIK (should be Vista SP1)

[theKramer]

I had seen that thread and downloaded the Vista WAIK, but just realised that whatever vesion I got is not the correct one as its name does not match the name of the one in the link you posted. Downloading correct one now.

Thx for that. Hopefully that will fix my problems

I'm on the vLite step, when rebuilding, vLite has a ton of pop-ups on dependencies, should I keep or remove these dependent components?

Use your own judgement really, but I recommend that you keep the ones that you aren't sure about. If you know that it's something you don't need/use, it may be smarter to just keep it.

[darklocust]

Ahh that's great. I decided to NOT keep all of the one's with pop-ups. I'll be installing soon so I'll report what happens. Maybe those dependencies should not be in the vLite preset in the first place.

Still got the same problem. Uninstalled the old one and installed the one that I downloaded from that link. This really sucks

I'm on Win7 64 and I was able to install WAIK SP1 for Vista.

I'm able to build images for 32 and 64 bit versions w/o any problems, following the batches by SausageHack (c/o Jeronimo).

You might want to install Win7 FULL then run these batches. The best way would be to have a dedicated machine for building images so you can test them out.
