7Customizer - a Windows 7 Customization and Deployment tool

7Customizer should be used before vlite on modified installation.

Well, as it turnes out this is not the whole story.

Today I managed to Vlite the so called 'removal phase' win7 source, with a Last Session.ini that I'm attaching.

I did that with the Win7 AIK, and managed to bring the installation to 1.8G.

I then ran 7cusomize on it, and including all the Windows Update files I have an ISO of 2G.

All is running well, and I'm actually typing now from the new installation.

BTW 4 out of 57 windows updates failed, probably because they were updating stuff that wasn't there. :)

I'm attaching again the log file.

Regarding the tweaks, all these tweaks and lots more will be implemented.

Wow, as soon as that happens I really will have a Win7 installation CD that will account for all my needs.

Thanks again blue4603

Blue, under unattend tab > Time and Currency, Portuguese (Brazil) option is not available. To correct that I need to manually edit Autounattend.xml file and replace <UserLocale>pt-PT</UserLocale> for <UserLocale>pt-BR</UserLocale>.

Can you correct that?

thanks for program.

Vlite only need two files from waik.. and it needs the waik for vista, not win7..

So u actually only need 2 files, and not the whole waik package..

Edited by puntoMX
Removed download link, WAIK files may NOT be distributed that way.

@DigitalDemolition

You are most welcome

@avnerk

Your experiments are really nice. Maybe later in future release I will implement 7Customizer so that it will be able to work with modified installations.

For now we will focus on more important stuff

Thanks for your feedback and testing.

@Sydnelson

Yes. I will add it in the next release.

@venkatareddy

This is not a thread for these kind of problems. Post it in vlite section.

Why do you want to delete the mount folder? 7Customizer needs this folder to work properly

If you want to delete the contetn of mount folde first make sure that there is not any image mounted. If there is just unmount it using imagex.

Thanks for the registry tweaks file

First, I would like to thank you for your tools.

Second, I think the only thing missing for got an entire "replacement for vlite" application, it's an iso maker build in 7customizer ; so I would like to submit an idea : why don't you add a path line under "Dism" and "ImageX" wich ask for the path of "oscdimg" ?

I use this line and it works fine for me :

oscdimg -u2 -m -h -b"D:\System\TOOLS\WIN7_UPD\boot\etfsboot.com" "D:\System\TOOLS\WIN7_UPD" "D:\WIN7_UPD.iso" -lWIN7_IMAC24

(Information for user of certain MacUser : if you make your "iso" with this standard command line it wiil fix the EFI boot problem).

Thank you very much for reading me.

Absolutely, positively, unequivocally interested in this tool. I've been working with nlite and vlite, and Windows 7 is the next unattended installation to create, trimmed of all the MS fatty fat. If there is a user guide for this particular software that I missed, please reply with the link.

Thanks for the update. Trying it now.

1. In the Tweaks tab under Start Menu there are two items missing:

System Administrative Tools:

a. Display on the All Programs Menu

b. Display on the All Programs Menu and Start Menu

c. Don't display this Item.

2. Task bar - Notification Area - Customize.

3. At this stage (56 tweaks) a preset file would help a lot.

it takes some time to go over them again and again :) Sorry for nagging.

and thanks again

avnerk

UPDATE:

All tweaks worked fine under 0.2.5
