I'm sorry not the batch files I messed up about him removing it in them its a component in vlite that he has prechecked for removal not in the batch files only in vlite but to answer your question - when you are in vlite and you select what you are removing

look under the service tree section
On the component tab

right above system

2nd from the bottom is where you will see this

Make sure you uncheck user mode driver framework so that it will not be removed its only one that have to uncheck for that service and then you should be okay from there

in my removal.bat i've deleted the following lines:
%rempacks%Microsoft-Windows-VirtualPC-Licensing-Package%winsuffix%
%rempacks%Microsoft-Windows-VirtualPC-USB-RPM-Package%winsuffix%
%rempacks%Microsoft-Windows-VirtualXP-Licensing-Package%winsuffix%
and as i said the wirtual pc update install itself, it seem ok but when the computer reboot it said it can't install the update and uninstall it.
so i think something removed in the vlite profile missing for the virtualpc usage.

Thanks again

I think i got the solution to my problem that i mentioned in my last post in this thread--

i m doing all of this process in vlited windows 7 home premium.i think i should move to vista n then do this. But do i need to install the same build of vista to process the required one in win 7 i.e. windows 7 ultimate can be slimmed on windows vista ultimate? n do i need to install the full blown vista or i can use vlited one?
And lastly,if anybody had success with windows 7 plz do tell me.

thanx in advance!

Hi again,

I reformated again after repairing that user-framework thing...., everything worked ok,
than, after a few hours the search bar in windows explorer and start menu was gone :blink:

luckily for me a system restore repaired this, but anyone have any idea what could have caused it??

the only thing i can remember is that i insatlled office 2007 and sp2 and it happened shortly after that....
could this have caused it?

Edit: yep.... it's office 2007, installed again , search gone.... again

My problem: after "curing" Windows 7 Ultimate, the setup stops at the very beginning (after I clicked "Install nows").
A window appear sayng "A required CD/DVD driver device is missing. If you have a floppy disk" ecc...
I can BROWSE to search the HD, but I can only see the DVD drive and a "boot drive (Z:)".

The PURE Win 7 ultimate iso didn't have this problem. Maybe some Hard Disk driver have been removed?

Thanks 4 any help.

Hi, first of all thanks for all the effort put in the project and guide it's really easy to follow but still i'm doing something wrong :)

I get an acces denied error on the removal part. The mount works fine, but removal gives error straight away:
Image Version: 6.1.7600.16385

Processing 1 of 1 - An error occurred - Microsoft-Windows-VirtualXP-Licensing-Pa
ckage Error: 0x80070005

Error: 5

Access is denied.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

This happens for almost all the packages, i have checked the dism.log and i found some errors:

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.
Failed to add any commands.

or

Only package owners can remove package: Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385 [HRESULT = 0x80070005 - E_ACCESSDENIED]
Package Manager: PID=2708 Failed initiating changes - CDISMPackage::Internal_ChangePackageState(hr:0x80070005)
Package Manager: PID=2708 Failed to Remove the Package. - CDISMPackage::Remove(hr:0x80070005)
Package Manager: PID=2708 Failed while processing command remove-package. - CPackageManagerCLIHandler::ExecuteCmdLine(hr:0x80070005)
Package Manager processed the command line but failed. HRESULT=80070005

I have tried it on 2 machines, a Vista and a win7 and both give me the exact the same error so i'm prolly overseeing something here.

I have installed the WAIK for win vista sp1.. dism log attached.

Can anyone help me out here?

Try clearing attributes after copying from original source to C:\7elite32(or whatever edition You're using)\source\

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

I used Kazuni's preset for Windows 7 beta (build 7000) and it worked just fine.

I would like to only use vLite to remove components from my Windows 7 RTM, but the instructions given here are very complex for me. They talk about "DISM" and other stuff and procedures that go way over my head. Sorry. :-(

Does anyone have a vLite preset that I can use for my RTM Win7 that is similar to Kazuni's vLite preset?

Thanks! I greatly appreciate any help and I apologize for the dumb question. I only know how to use vLite for removing components. I don't understand about protecting dll's or using "DISM" or command prompt stuff.

best regards,
Paul

hi ! congratulations for your tools ! its awesome

... but i have some problems, not only with your batch (removal) but with command prompt with dism ...

here is my problem, maybe can you help me :

- when i use your removal.bat, only 1 package is removed, the localpack-CA, all the other return a 0x8007005 error, with on the next line the "error : 5"

- i tried to mount with the WAIK Vista imagex instead of 7 imagex = same result

- in pure command line, /remove package /packagename:xxxxx~~xxxx = same result

- when i ask for /get-packages , the only packages wich are in the list are Localpack-FR and CA, and the hotfix i have integrate with dism ... (34 hotfix)

is it because i used an iso with LP and hotfix intregrated ?
does i have to use a 100% untouched iso ?



the only tool witch is really working for me is Win Integrator alpha ... but too many bugs ...
all the other way give me this error ... (im working with vista sp2, waik vista)

edit : i have test your tool with an original iso from msdn untouched, and i have the same problem too ... any idea ?

Thank you so much for putting this together. I never imagine I can run Win7 that take only 2.5gb of space.

Although I don't have any problems I have some suggestion. These are some of the features I think more basic users and I would like to have retained (even though I know how to edit the batch files to retain these features, I haven't test the Media batch version though), so perhap there should be a Basic batch theme with these settings:
-Sound and LAN drivers (So sound and internet would work when testing in Virtualbox in default setting. Maybe even WLAN and video adapters, its actually a good thing to have video, sound and internet working right away after installation.)
-Leave Zip Folder and Disc Cleaner unchecked.
-Retain Windows disc burning feature (I'm guessing its part of a bigger package though so might not be possible to include it individually)

I guess its possible but no idea why its causing problems sorry but if you still want to try it out it has been successfully tested using vmware and virtual box although personally virtual box seems more user friendly its smaller and its free :/

there have been quite a few people who have replied stating success with windows 7 check the first pages of this post if you want to contact any of them secondly ur other questions it shouldn't affect ur end result u just do win 7 or vista just make sure if its 32 you cannot build 64 but the other way around is ok and full blown might be better but it should work fine on vlite too liquid tested that theory himself on win 7 but not tested on vista hopefully my answer makes sense
