zebus disclosed the secret of winsxs before I posted it! And it was enough only to mention it is possible! Guys, you are incredible!

All the best,

hi aviv00,
is it possible to install Visual C++ Redistributable Package (2005 or 2008) if winsxs is removed?
Some programs like ATI Catalyst, Logitech Setpoint and visual studio are dependant on it.

Thanks for your effort for the guide, I have tried your method and get the windows to boot without WinSxS (with 2.66GB size) - but unfortunately I cannot install Live messenger because of C Runtime Error (something related to CRT assembly blah blah blah) am i doing something wrong???

please help - i have attached my vlite.ini file in case you want to take a look. BTW, can you share yours?

Hi! first post here, been using vlite/nlite for many years, but never been able to reduce winsxs to a realistic size.

Tried this with 32-bit Ultimate, nothing extreme. Removed winsxs, languages, tablet, speech, drivers. ISO size 1.5 GB, C:\windows is 2.5 GB.
I have tried installing it twice in VMWare.

Some updates work, not all.

I think I'm doing something wrong with KB947821 (28.9 MB).
It's a folder with 8 .exe files, which I have manually started, and that makes them extract .cab files to separate folders in C:\ , which now looks pretty cluttered...

Am I using the right KB, and am I supposed to just start all 8 .exe files?

Windows6.1-KB971033-x86 also needs C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-wmi-cmiplugin_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_bcd8e30a8d5b6227\wmicmiplugin.dll

Thank you for your help.

I have restarted several times, but there are five of them that I can't install.

Also, can someone confirm that KB947821 is supposed to be installed in seven different folders directly in C:\ , see attachment. It just looks strange.
