Step 1 - removing with WTK
download it from:
http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/


here good removing config

http://www25.zippysh...40473/file.html

A. After removing stuff from the wim with Windows ToolKIT

B. install it to vhd [vmware or on host]

C. run vmware and start the windows 8 from that vhd

D. install the dot net 3.5

E.use dism /append-image to capture to same wim u deploy from
no need to sysperp win8 using uni drivers
[it save time of compressing]

F.use the old wim filter to mount the captured image

Step 2 - removing manually

with whereisit [application google for it ]

capture the mounted dir with whereisit

start deleting :)

here a list what can be deleted

1.metro apps from program files

2. winsxs\backup dir - *.*

3.winsxs\*.inf* [dirs]

notice some of the dirs the search will find not related to drivers files

u can delete them but if u can save them

4.nls* files all from 1mb and above[u can delete them all im not sure]

5. run *.* in dirs IME and Speech

add the files to user list and search from there to whole clg

remove all

6. remove *prn* folders from driverstore folder only 1mb and above

7. remove ttf files from winsxs dir


here a footprint example

Hey.

Is there any places where i can see what i can safely remove from Windows 8 with the WinToolkit without breaking the installation or other important things in Windows 8?

When i choose the Windows 8 Client (64-bit) in WinToolkit, then i get up 219 components i can remove.

If someone can give me some pictures with what i can remove for example, then it would be great.

Hi aviv00.
I just have a couple of questions. I sysprepped an image where I installed all the latest updates for Windows 8.

1. I dont see a backup folder in the winSXS directory. Am I doing something wrong there?
I ran disk cleanup before Sysprep and that cleaned the cache, so could that have removed the backup directory also??
2. In point 5, above you talk about running *.* in dirs IME and Speech.
Does that mean running a search in those folders?
Can you explain explain nr5 in more detail, as I dont understand what you mean by "add the files to user list and search from there to whole clg"

Your help would be much appreciated :-)

Thx.
