I could possibly help out, what language are you programming in.

As for the removal of packages, have an idea for that, but don't think Install_WIM_Tweak.exe is working with DISM currently, so we would either have to mount/unmount with the Vista WAIK imagex, or need re-write a new Install_WIM_Tweak.exe to work with DISM

Basic idea was populate a simple tree-view / Check Box control just like vLite or WUD with the package listing from DISM /GET-PACKAGES command.

What do you think ?


I am using C#.

To mount and and commit and service the image, I use imagex and dism from the windows 7 WAIK. That means this program should not work on XP since WAIK for 7 does not support XP (Sorry this problem is from Microsoft).

Regarding the packages I think we could look into that later. Because I want to finish these functions:
1. Integrate Language (Done)
2. Integrate Updates (Done)
3. Basic Unattended

The tool should know what updates and languages are already installed (You could call this a function two)

After that I will give the program to the people to test it and then implement other functions

@Chester^,@1to1,@filmbot,@TheWalrus

Thanks for your interest


Regards



hi im new here i have been trying to learn C# but i pretty much stopped after 6 weeks because MS dropped support for my Zune 120 i kno im one of a dozen people with a zune but any who i have an old piece of s*** computer and when i try to have my realtek drivers automatically installed with vlite it pops up about 25 times and takes about half an hour to get past that so if you could somehow make it not do that that would be awesome if thats even possible

if you cant its not a big deal but yeah im testing right now

-EDIT-
i just tested it it vlited it down to 1.3gb for the install.wim and only the ulimate version is in there and it says please select a version from the list and there is no list

That's some quite odd story you have there. Anyways, integrating drivers will come later.
Regarding your issue, the program builds only one image ( the one you select in the beginning).
Regarding not showing any version in the list, if you could attach a screen-shot and provide more info, that would be more helpful.

Regards

How do you check for ImageX.exe?

reason i ask, it looks like the program only checks at drive C: and my system(windows installation and program files folder) drive is G: and it does not find it...
Attached File  Capture.PNG (5.99K)
Number of downloads: 76
i tried running the program from G: and C: same results. Win7 x64

Thanks for the feedback

Once I press the "apply" button the program quickly gives a progress "Done" button. Image not mounted or touched.

I tested the tool on two test machines with different configuration and it worked fine.

I am waiting for other members feedback. If there is not any feedback I will complete the Unattended part.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
	<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Glad it worked for you and thanks for the feedback.
The driver part will come after the unattended part.

@SheepyDaz Did you choose the path for imagex and dism correctly?
if yes could you post the imagesinfo.xml and the info I mentioned in the first post.

Regards

When you have the unattended part finished for public release, I will do some extensive testing. Using 64bit Proffesional version.

Ok ran this with right click - Run as admin.

Still errors out, i correctly used the imagex.exe an dism files.
Heres the file you need.

Attached File  imagesinfo.xml (106bytes)
Number of downloads: 47

**EDIT**
After looking at the imagesinfo.xml it said -
cannot find file c:\users\sheepy\desktop\win

I renamed my folder which contained my windows image to just win an it worked.
the folder was originally called win 7 pro.

I dunno if that helps :)

Successfully installed updates in win 7 pro x86.

Will there be a feature for adding programs an applications?

Few suggestions, hope you dont mind :)
Auto Update feature
In your help menu add a link which links to your forums/or support thread here.
A link for the windows updates downloader perhaps. So peeps dont have to run around looking for win 7 updates.

You look serious with this program!
Btw I assume the list of removable components and configurable stuff is complete already? There is a thread floating around where people disassembled the image into bits :D
