What is the purpose of rt7lite first?

[bapt]

If we remove winsxs (with rt7lie) but after you do not delete the file pending.xml

How does it feel?

thanks

1.37Go (7 sp1 MSDN)

I prefer to use rt7lite to Vlite, no need to install the famous Update using rt7lite

[aviv00]

its still updatable ?

winsxs big is 130mb to 200mb with vlite

winsxs big is 130mb to 200mb with vlite

it with 87 Updates integrated (7 x64 sp1)

yes but with vLite, must install an update for the following updates are possible
I prefer something clean

Better to delete the file pending.xml after or it did not matter?

thanks

vlite with winsxs removal making problem with the pending.xml else u dont need to remove it as far i understand

i recommending to use windows 7 with sp1 and not slipstream it or integrate the updates till sp1

clean and pure is the best

I use Windows 7 sp1 (MSDN) and Updates to sp1

I prefer to remove winsxs with rt7lite (no need to install the famous KB so that future updates work)

then, with rt7lite, delete the file pending.xml after or not?
without needing to install the famous KB

thanks

PS: sorry if I'm not really understand
I'm not very good in English

What is that famous KB you mentioned? Is it KB947821?

You mentioned in your first post that use RT 7 Lite first and then use VLite to remove winsxs [use rebulid all image with RT 7 Lite to save time 30 mins and u NEED to recapture the image!].

1. By the word of recapture, do you mean by just capturing via GImageX? Or, do I still have to apply (not mount) the image and capture the image?

2. Since you rebulid all image with RT 7 Lite, the slimmed down Windows image still contains all editions of Windows 7 SP1, right? Thus, in order to remove other undesired edition of Windows (like Home Premium and so on), vLite must be used. Is this statement correct?

1. yes apply (not mount) and then capture and then u can use vlite
2. rebulid all dont make wim smaller

but u dont need use vlite to make it just one 1 edition or lite it u can use gimagex \ export tab its much faster then RT lite

OK so now there is a new method to remove WinSxS.

method 5: run rt7lite to slim down your image (do not select winsxs removal in rt7lite). Then Capture & Apply with GimageX. Then run VLite (select winsxs for removal). No need to delete file pending.xml. After you install Windows you must install KB947821. It is recommended to load the lastsession files from the first post in RT7Lite and VLite and modify the options you want/don't want.

method 6: run rt7lite to slim down your image, select winsxs removal. No need to delete pending.xml. No need to install KB947821 after installing Windows.
But this method has not been tested by many people.


Question: using method 5, can I also just integrate KB947821 with VLite? Or should the update be integrated after VLite finishes removing WinSXS (simply run vlite or rt7lite again to integrate it)? Or should it really be installed after Windows has been installed?

that's what I'm doing on a 7 x64 sp1, but winsxs is 1.37Go after install (and 90 Updates integrated)
