I'm stuck with 1 little problem. I can't integrate hotfixes :unsure: vLite gives error. Windows 7 toolkit integrates them, but after Windows 7 installation updates isn't applied. Any ideas? :(

vLite doesnt support Windows 7 hotfix integration, you must do it with dism command line :

dism /image:"your mount path" /add-package /packagepath:"your hotfix (*.cab or *.msu) folder path"
for example :
dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\updates

and for drivers :

dism /image:"your mount path" /add-driver /driver:"your drivers folder path" /recurse
for example :
dism /image:c:\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\drivers /recurse

You need to copy setup.exe from DVD:\sources, not from DVD root.

the guide says you will can deleted every single file in the dvd\sources folder except boot.wim and install.wim.
that's true for vista, but in 7 you will have keep the setup.exe file from this folder too.

the "dvd\setup.exe" and the "dvd\sources\setup.exe" are not the same, so don't delete this one and your installation will work perfectly.

if you wanna reduce your iso you can remove those files too, only if you don't use the upgrade installation (only the complete installation will work)

dvd\setup.exe
dvd\autorun.inf
dvd\upgrade <-- delete the entire folder
dvd\support <-- delete the entire folder
dvd\boot\fonts\ <-- keep only the wgl4_boot.ttf, delete the other files
dvd\efi\microsoft\boot\fonts\ <-- keep only the wgl4_boot.ttf, delete the other files

Hi, i want to remove some components from the win7-DVD, but im a little confused about this.

1. What is the safest method to remove unneeded components? is there a chance to remove it in win xp (32)?

2. im running xp at this momment, so is it possible to remove some of the components listet in the 7packages.pdf with Vlite without doing the other changes (dism)?

Very nice work. I went through and manually deleted a lot of the unused fonts while it was processing removal.bat, then I went to customize cleanup.bat and found you had already beat me to the punch :)

It looks to me like you dont have proper access to the folder. Did you have the command window running as admin?

I'm experiencing the same errors as HellsPit.. "error:5 access is denied"

I've tried removing any ownership restrictions, both by left click->properties and by attrib in the command prompt.

Is there any other way to make sure I all access needed to run removal.bat successfully?

Can I ask the purpose of the second run of vlite and removing every thing in the C:\*\sources\sources folder?

Wouldn't it be simpler and do the same thing just to leave manual install via the preset in vlite? Even in the extreme, it comes to 1.08gb, meaning that you need a 2gb flash or a dvd to install it anyway. Not point in trying to save space on the install media and the end result is the same.

*edit*
I changed the removal.bat and left some stuff in, so my install.wim is a bit larger than if you do the bat straight. Still, it seems a lot of confusion that could be simplified.

Second run of vLite is needed if You use cleanup.bat.
vLite rebuilds install.wim file after cleanup.bat removes sounds, themes, fonts, built-in drivers and adds some tweaks :yes:
