What all needs to be preserved to keep homegroup functionality? I have edited the removal.bat and have attached it here. I am also using my own vlite preset which I have used before and had homegroups work, so I know it isnt something from vlite.

Hello everyone!

I'm also getting Access Denied on every package after "removal".
The content of the source-folder is directly copied in there from my ISO, write protection is off for everything incl. subfolders.

I'm wondering if this could be related to the following warnings my dism.log contains after:

Warning DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=3740 There is a possible version mismatch between the provider and one of its dependencies. - CDISMProviderStore::Internal_LoadProvider(hr:0x8007007f)
Warning DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=3740 Failed to Load the provider: C:\7xtreme32\source\sources\WimProvider.dll. - CDISMProviderStore::Internal_GetProvider(hr:0x8007007f)

Warning DISM DISM.EXE: Failed to load WimManager. Try running from the Deployment Tools Command Prompt. If the issue persists, ensure that wimgapi.dll and wimserv.exe are up to date.
Warning DISM DISM.EXE: Failed to add any commands.

If anyone could give me another hint, i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Media Metadata Handler
Photo Metadata Handler
Windows Aero Theme
Windows Media Codecs
Windows Media Player
Desktop Window Manager

Is it safe to remove all languages too? Are there any other components
that can now be removed safely using vLite besides what was listed above?

Thanks! :-)

It uses a batch file to run the built-in commands of DISM (which is the microsoft provided tool to modify their install files, called *.wim files). A batch file is basicly a collection of commands that you can type into a command window (what you get from typing cmd into the run box) in order. You can open the batch file and edit it if you like. The part to look for starts like this

Quote

%rempacks%Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package%winsuffix%
%rempacks%Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Integration-Drivers-Package%winsuffix%

If you are going to edit it very much, I recommend finding something called Notepad++ (google it) and opening the batch file in it.

That section is basicly the list of what is removed. If you open up the 7packages.pdf in the original post, it shows what those package names describes, from that you can decide if you want to remove it or not. To remove a package from the batch file, you dont need to delete it (in case you decide later to run it again you wont have to download again), just type "REM" before the line. If you are using Notepad++ it turns the line green. That is just the command to ignore that line and skip it.

All you have to do is match the packages in the removal.bat file to those in the 7packages.pdf file to see what will be removed.

Please refer to my earlier post, I managed to get ICS working and also homegroup functionality working (only thing its complete display is kind of broken but, at least it works). Try it!

btw, it is for Media64 presets.

I was using the xtreme presets, and it takes more than that. The one I was missing was the Network Diagnostics (Microsoft-Windows-NetworkDiagnostics-DirectAccessEntry-Package). it probably isnt removed from the media preset, I havent used that one.

So far, I've gotten ti trimmed down where it is still all the functions I need and I still have room for hibernation on my 4gb ssd netboot

wow. this thread is awesome. thanks for the detailed guide.

[PythonJones]

Just like to say thanks, this is the only guide I've followed that's worked with no problems each time I've tried it. Thanks!

Okay, so first off total newbie here so thanks a ton for the guides.

I have successfully gotten the 7elite32 and 7xtreme32 to install on my dell mini9 so I'm not a total id*** here.

I prefer 7elite32 so I will talk about that one. So I install it then install Avira Antivirus and then let Windows Updates run and it finds 4 drivers to load and does so with success except for my Novatel Wireless Expedite EV-DO Modem.

Windows Update finds a driver but it doesn't successfully apply it, giving "the install class is not present or is invalid" error!

What is does successfully do is load what it calls Novatel Wireless Expedite EV-DO Status Port (COM4)

So here is what I have done so far:

1) Try to find other drivers for this device mainly here: Sprint Software Downloads where I downloaded both the sprint app and tried it to load drivers by itself (didnt work) also downloaded the msi and extracted drivers myself and tried to manually apply drivers which gave me again "the install class is not present or is invalid" error after windows liked the driver files and tried to apply them but just didnt work.

2) Thinking this is a Modem I figured I could run a 7elite32 without the modem stuff being taken out so I followed the guides exactly as I had before but on both vlite run I unchecked the modem drivers in Components as well as editing the cleanup batch file to remove the following:

REM Modem Drivers
set part=mdm
del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\inf\%part%*">nul
for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\system32\Driverstore\FileRepository\%part%*) do rd /s /q "%%i">nul
for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%part%*) do rd /s /q "%%i">nul

I just edited that out of the cleanup batch file. The install worked but resulted in the same problem as described above with either Windows Update automatically failing to load driver due to "the install class is not present or is invalid" or me doing it manually.

3) I installed Windows 7 without removing anything and it loaded both the Novatel Wireless Expedite EV-DO Status Port (COM4) which shows up under Ports (COM & LPT) in device manager and Novatel Wireless Expedite EV-DO Modem which show up under Modems in device manager

So I investigated the driver info in the successfully running install and find the following via device manager properties of Novatel Wireless Expedite EV-DO Modem the following driver file details:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\modem.sys
c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\nwusbmdm.sys

Now the file version of that nwusbmdm.sys is what I am giving it when I try to manually apply the update via the unpacked drivers from that Sprint website. I haven't check if modem.sys is successfully loaded in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\ folder of the 7elite32 non MODEM removal I did in step 2. I guess that will be the first thing I check after posting this.

But any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated and again thanks very much for the guides using 7elite32 and paring down recyclebin my pagefile and hibernation I got my install around 3gb on a 16gb ssd and thats just awesome.

[jkey]

uncheck Modem Support and Modem drivers removal boxes in vLite

[wah00kid]

Thanks jkey it works

and strike me not being an id*** since i didnt look also under hardware support for the modem stuff

my 7elite32 with modem support works great!

again thanks to these guides

Copied files from source to c:\7elite64\source

C:\7elite64>ATTRIB -R -A -S -H c:\7elite64\source\* /S /D

mount
removal

Same errors

That is the correct syntax to clear attributes right? I checked the files and folders and all attributes were gone.. no luck tho

it sounds to me and liquid like you're copying from the wrong source check your steps from the beginning you should be copying all the files and directories and subfiles basically the entire contents from the original setup DVD or image and you are placing them in the source folder where you did before but it sounds like you copied the wrong files the way you did it so double check that and make sure you are putting the correct imagex.exe in the wtools folder

Sry for my late response, that command you see was just to clear the attributes because it was mentioned as a possible solution for my errors. I copied the complete content of the Win 7 iso in c:\7elite64\source\, correct right? I also tripple checked I put the correct version of imagex in the C:\7xtreme64\wtools folder and I have the SP1 WAIK installed. Seems like a couple of guys here like HellsPit, Steean and Snart having the same issue, we have to have/do something in common ?

Have you, HellsPit, Steean or Snart found a solution yet ? I have re-read and done the whole guide a couple of times now but still no success

@ radinette91: You edited a french version of Windows 7, that is why the 5 local packs that you get errors for do not exist in your image.
Your image should be fine, for the next time you can remove the lines with Windows-LocalPack-XX-Package from your removal.bat (should be 5 lines).
I did the same for my german image and it works fine.

@ bautroibaola: The file wer.dll should be in the protected files dialog within vLite, so it does not get removed. Seems as if something went wrong. Did you load the preset from the 7media32 package within vLite?
