Yeah, using the GimageX from the x64 folder and yeah i dont know why it does increase from 3.05 to 3.07 when i do the ultimatex64.bat

[tun.tin]

Thank you for putting this excellent work, I found your guide work perfect from start to end (x64 version). However after I installed both printer drivers (Canon IP6000D and RX500). Clicks on the Devices and Printers, I see nothing. Also the Epson RX500 scanner doesn't work.

They did work without the removal Windows 7 x64 (download latest drivers). Both showed up in the Devices and Printers, the RX500 scanner also worked. So maybe one of the components has been removed that caused the problem.

Yours is a compression problem, there is somewhere your kinda missing the step (failing to apply changes before unmounting or failing to apply changes before building the iso). My iso gains about 600MB just for missing this. Try going through the guide again.

Thanks for the answer, i tried and did the same as the guide in the first post says (as in today) and still gets me the same result...

Im using 7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULXFRER_EN_DVD.iso and also GimageX, but...

Im doing this in Windows 7 x64 cause i have XP x86 in the other partition and i open GimageX and mount the image, well it mounts but when i check commit changes it doesnt unmount, it doesnt do anything, so i open command prompt and i use imagex /UNMOUNT /COMMIT C:\s2

Is there a problem there?

If not i dont know what im doing because it seems strange cuz when i do the first step of ultimatex64.bat and commit changes the folder gets 3.07 gigs when originally its 3.05 gigs :s

I am not using imagex am using the latest gimagex x64 from the site itself and not from the amd folder. Right before mounting at any step I would make sure the "read and write" checkbox is checked and "commit changes" checkbox isnt checked and only check it when intending to unmount. Right before making the iso I would apply all changes made in vlite and ignore all dependancies then after changes have been applied I would make the iso and thats how my iso shrinks + you need to work from an x64 platform not x86. I dont use vmware, virtualpc or any other virtualization software, I use a separate partition on my drive and have made batch files to cleanup boot.mgr,system volume information,system reserved partition, and the system files in the target drive to clean up after testing and all this am doing under x64 platform

Yes im using the WAIK for Vista SP1 and using the imagex from the amd64 folder too

also, are using the 64bit version of gimagex?

ps after you apply the ultimatex64.bat, the iso does increase in size...dont know why tho?

I also realized the same but that doesnt stop the process from shrinking the iso image in the end

Dead please can send me a version of remove86x.bat, like this:

With support:
- File sharing and printing;
Unsupported:
- .Net3;

Simply, use the latest version of remove86x.bat, but setting the removal. Net3, right? You can send me?
I tried to edit the merging "removeNET3" with the last "remove" .. but there are so many items that I missed ...
Finally, I think this way, it would be an ideal version for many ...

Thanks

Just a big THANK YOU to dead0 for the tutorial, and to this forum for the wealth of information

I mostly followed the tutorial but in the second vLite phase (step 17 in the tutorial) I removed WMP and DRM (vLite wouldn't remove the latter if WMP is to be kept).

Install in Virtualbox took all of 7 minutes.
ISO size: 614.016 MB.
Size of dynamic VDI file: 1518 MB (virgin system)

It currently doesn't recognize the sound device provided by Virtualbox.
Trying to add a device in Control Panel immediately gives an error message with error code 80070002.
Some tinkering ahead, and/or I'll need to keep some drivers.

the new guide should have file & printer sharing working! as for net3 removal, that may be added later as its very time consuming on which files to keep & delete!

i'll be working on a revision of the x64 guide to keep file/printer sharing but printer support should be working at the moment! you might neet to keep windows image aquisition in vlite tho for the scanner to work?

ps you might also need to keep the business scanning feature in the dism removal file?

Hi to all.
Does someone know what necessary package I removed that it is impossible to start mmc.exe with 0xc0000142 error appearing.

added:
I've figured out that removing MDAC caused this behavior...

dead0,

Is it possible to keep the .NET Framework using your method? What if I want to add/delete the components removed from your method? Do I have to edit the batch files or can I use vLite to do that? Also, is there a list somewhere of what is kept/removed using your method?


Thanks

if you use the x86 version of ultimate then full framework is kept & it also has the most functionality! the x64 has slightly less & the server r2 will be the extreme! you may need to edit the batch file if you want to keep any items that will be removed?

workstation was disabled (by default) and server was running. i can change workgroup and set up a homegroup now

[dead0]

as there doesn't seem to be too many errors reported, the x64 removal is now gold & final!
updated 1st post!
i dont plan to do any further editing for x64 except for may be some minor tweaks? will try to finalise the x86 & the server removal next..?
