EXE

install_wim_tweak.exe (45K)
Number of downloads: 1089

SOURCE

win6x_registry_tweak_src_v1.4.6.7z (39.38K)
Number of downloads: 451

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before i start i have to say that this tool was originally released by wnuku and that i have just updated it with extra features, colours and bug fixes.

This little tool un-hides "packages" like Windows Media Center/Player, IE, IIS, Games, etc... so you can lower the size of your install.wim

New.png (217.37K)
Number of downloads: 665
Top left is un-hiding a specific package, top right is writing the log of available files to a txt file, bottom left is un-hiding all components of an image and finally the bottom right is un-hiding all the packages from current installed OS.

install_wim_tweak.exe /?
This will show all available options..

install_wim_tweak.exe /p <MountPath>
This will unhide all the packages in the selected image

install_wim_tweak.exe /o
This will unhide all the packages on the currently installed OS

install_wim_tweak.exe /p <MountPath> /l
This will list all the packages available in the selected image and write them to a text file in the same directory.

install_wim_tweak.exe /o /l
This will list all the packages available on the installed OS and write them to a text file in the same directory.

install_wim_tweaks.exe /p <MountPath> /c Microsoft-Windows-.........
This will just inhide the selected component from the selected image, can also be used with /o. If you add /r at the end it will remove the package.

Changes made from the original version by wnuku

*/h will restore them to default (must use without /h first)
*/n will not create backups (faster)
*/d will not delete owners keys.
*/m is no longer needed, will do the task by default
*/l will output a list of all packages to a text file.
*/o will use currently installed image.
*fixed a bug where it did not work if there was a space in the mountpath.
*/c <PackageName> will un-hide specific package
* using /r with /c will remove the package
*Win32Security.dll file is no longer needed
*Added new colours, errors are displayed in Red
*Fixed bug crashing at end of running
*Fixed bug where it cannot unmount registry if something fails
*Added specific component selection
*Fixed some other bugs
*Added an appropriate small icon for the app

Also normally you will have to put the specific component name i.e.
"/c Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514"
but if for example you put "/c Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package" it will show all packages starting with that.

F.A.Q
If you have any questions let me know...

awesome!

edit:

Question! I previously exported only Professional version from my installation and put the image back. After that I ran this tweak and had packages listed. There's like 500 of them, most listed for each Windows edition. Does that work as intended?

install_wim_tweak.exe /p "C:\Mount" /c Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Integration-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 /r

install_wim_tweak.exe /p "C:\Mount" /c Microsoft-Hyper-V /r

Nothing too exotic.

magex /export e:\Win7\sources\install.wim 4 e:\install.wim

cut, replace the original
install_wim_tweak.exe /p e:\mount /l

The report lists it like so:

Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Enterprise-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Enterprise-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-HomeBasic-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-HomeBasic-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-HomePremium-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-HomePremium-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Starter-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Starter-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Ultimate-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Ultimate-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.

Ok I take it partially back, because the editions are not listed for all the packages. It's the weird version numbers. Why is it so? I thought this would be what'd it look like after SP installation, but this is a disk with SP already included straight from MSDN...

Do I need to remove each package for every component to get rid of it completely?

It's working exactly how it should. If you want you can just run...

install_wim_tweak.exe /p "e:\mount" /c Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU /r

That should remove them all

if you type in

Dism.exe /image:E:\mount /get-packages /format:table

they should be removed. install_wim_tweak will still list them even if they are removed, as the key still remains in the registry.

Ah, so if I don't specify the full name, it will automatically assume a kind of wildcard? a-we-so-me!

This will make the hell of 50-pages long batch file for removing stuff much more bearable

yeah if you type install_wim_tweak.exe /p "e:\Mount" /c Microsoft-Windows /r, it will remove every package containing Microsoft-Windows.

Is it possible to log what was actually physically deleted? Or is the program actually using DISM?

I just tried to remove several whole packages one after another and at some point file count stopped decreasing no matter what I try to remove.

edit: of course it uses DISM. Now if only the log was slightly less "talkative"...

Lego, could you make a small change to the /l parameter please? Currently there is no option where the list of packages will be saved to. Unless I missed something, it always gets saved in c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\, which is not even "the same directory" as the programs says

(I understand it the way it should be saved in the mounted image's directory instead)

Hi legolash,

The old tweak.exe used the exit code -532459699 to define the error "registry file not found" when the path was inexistent or incorrect. Could make something similar on your version? For instance if the program finished successfully return errorlevel 0 if registry file not found then return errorlevel 1 etc.
I use it in my batch and it would really be useful for me.
