Thanks all, based on your advice I made ​​a working installation of W7lite SP1.
Everything looks good except windows update - updates some reports that have not been successfully installed - for example internet explorer 9.
Any idea what to do?

Thank you very much for replying to my question and supplying your preset.

1. So, how do you integrate Windows update? Is it via DISM?

2. As for integrating drivers, do you use RT 7 Lite to integrate drivers?

3. I understand your highly recommended solution stating that first use Gimagex, integrate the updates, then vLite and finally RT 7 Lite. For all of this steps, we do not need to install WAIK for Windows Vista and WAIK for Windows 7, right? I only have to insert vista vimfltr and wimgapi.dll in vLite folder.

Thanks again for your help.

1) yes I use dism

2) Indeed, it is with RT 7lite I integrate the drivers

3) it's right

@bapt
Thank you so much for your explanation. You are very helpful.

For me, after using RT 7 Lite as suggested in your steps, I would suggest executing the batch removal file via Gimage to remove redundant fonts. This batch file originates from dead0's guide. That way, we can achieve further slim down of the image.

So, you remove winsxs via RT 7 Lite. Can you install Windows updates to your Windows?

Do you integrate the msu version of Internet Explorer 9 into your image before using vLite? Do you remove winsxs?

No I don´t. No I don´t, only removed some components in vLite.

@ vincentvega007
I would suggest that you integrate the msu version of IE9 into your image. The direct link for IE9 are as follow:

Win7
x86: http://go.microsoft..../?LinkId=210145
x64: http://go.microsoft..../?LinkId=210143

I mean, you really do not have to wait after Windows installation, to use Windows Update to install IE9.

As for some updates failed to be installed, I believe that the updates tried to update some components you have removed via vLite, and thus failed. I do encounter such case for my slimmed-down Windows 7 SP1. There is nothing much you can do, rather than rebuild a new image by integrating all newer updates before using vLite.

I know the method of integrating packages since the time XPLite. Even this method is not one hundred percent, especially with regard to the future. I can not imagine that it will build a new iso and reinstall the system with all programs every time MS release an update that will not download and install it using Windows apdate.

[alvinkhorfire]

@vincentvega007
Sorry for confusion. I was not questioning your ability of slimming down Windows. Anyone using a customized Windows 7 SP1 with IE 9 integrated, should not be installing IE9, because it has been integrated. That is why I found it weird that you have to install IE 9, as if you did not integrate IE 9 at all.

Off topic a bit, you could choose to post a direct link to the post. On the upper right corner of each post, is the post number, such as #153 in this post. Right click the post number and copy the direct link of the post. That way, your post would contain the direct link to the indicated post, instead of having other readers manually scrolling down the page to find the quoted post.

Anyway, I notice that you always try to answer many inquires in this forum and try to be as helpful as you can. It is a definitely commendable effort from you. Keep up the good work.

Many thanks alvinkhorfire! Also for the tip"

Hi.
After I create the install2.wim and rename it to install.wim, restart and the try to mount the recently created install.wim, I get an error from Gimagex that says:

ERROR: Unable to mount image
ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified

This a SP1'd image of Windows Home Premium.

Thx.

[myselfidem]

You can use:
Dism /Cleanup-wim

Remove the temp folder and give a new name for the temp folder; and try again!

[neo2k]

I syspreped windows 7 sp1 with all updates and some programs like FireFox, Adobe Reader and other stuff. The wim image is now about 4GB in size, but I cant vlite it. Even the apply/capture workaround doesnt work.

Any suggestions?

[theKramer]

I updated my vanilla Win 7 with SP1 using RT7lite and then clicking proceed and then finish once it was finished each step. I allowed it time to cleanup and close naturally by itself.

Then I followed all the steps from post 105 again.

I fired up Gimagex, went to the apply tab
Set source to = d:\s1\sources\install.wim
Destination = d:s2
Selected my image (2 for Home Premium) and then Applied.

Then went to the Capture tab.
Set s2 as my mount path (same folder as in apply tab, with mounted folders present)
Set my destination to d:\s1\sources\install2.wim
Set name and description to: Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM
And then compression to Maximum.
Then created the new install2.wim.

Once that's finished, I close Gimagex, and when I try to reopen the install2.wim, I get the error that Gimagex cannot mount the image. I want to mount the image to apply the wim-tweak.

I redid the whole slipstream process from the beginning but still get this error

Any ideas?

[myselfidem]

You must remove install.wim and rename install2.wim as "install.wim"!
It's better to save first original install.wim file before!

Hi.
I did that also each time, but it wont open the captured wim

Does it matter if you have WAIK installed or not for Gimagex?

I have WAIK for 7 installed, since I needed that for slipstreaming SP1 via RT7lite.

Thx
