@nice_guy75
Thanks for your summary. Is your method of using vLite primarily based on dead0's guide?

@bphlpt
I agree with what you said regarding Windows 7 Toolkit. The problem is that it does not remove components as many as RT 7 Lite. And, I don't think that I can make this request, which is not in line with Legolash2o's original intention.

He really isn't going to add more as the way he removes things are the dism way, NOT the hack way.

i.e. DISM only allows for removal of packages and is kinda limited.

Plus he is not trying to compete with vLite or rt7lite...

I am sure that some of us would like to have smallest Windows image as possible, without overly affecting its stability.

I understand what you are saying, but if I were you, I'd ask. Kel's post you quoted was over two months ago, Lego has allowed 22 requests since then and has not locked the topic. He plans to work on a lot of the outstanding requests during these next few weeks while his school is getting ready to start up. The worst he can say is "No". If enough people make the same or similar requests, he will probably either figure out a way to do it, or clarify what he can/will do and what he can't/won't. It can't hurt to ask.

If you add - "and usability" - I think you can add even more people who would agree with you, especially as long as the removals are optional and under the user's control.


Cheers and Regards

Since my quote he has found more packages to remove via dism and will be adding a bit more removals to the toolkit.

@ alvinkhorfire no mate, I have actually integrated sp1 by reverse integration and then I used vlite and it worked like charm.

If you do not want to use my method you better use export tab and export the desired version of Windows 7 if there are more than one images in install.wim, if there is only one image just export it to the new location and then change the wim. I am sure it would work flawlessly.
