Hi all,
I'd like to know, if possible, how exactly vlite does remove the Winsxs component from the iso. I'm trying to follow a guide
on the net that is using vlite but I'm only having errors, so I'd like to have (I know the source code is not possible) an
explanation on how Vlite does that process.

Thank you

Shanti

vLite deletes them and removes the entries from the registry.

I know, I'm aware of that, but I'd like to know the exact mechanism (like the commands or a set of batches) so I can manually
replicate it on my own without the needing of vlite since it crashes on me every time.


Thanks

The exact mechanism that vLite uses has never been published. The code is closed and the author has never made it public. You can not get in touch with the author about the vLite code any longer, and even if you could he is now prevented from speaking about it. Sorry.

Cheers and Regards

winsxs removal with vlite is simple just remove list of files

and save 250MB of files to make the setup/installation works well and thats all

use whereisit to see which files are safe to remove

u may apply it to windows 8 if u know how to use whereisit good

What is "whereisit"? Do you mean this - http://www.whereisit-soft.com/? How exactly would that help you "see which files are safe to remove"? I'm confused.

Oh... well, I think that's good for him and bad for us, so I guess this thread can be closed since nobody
can answer my question without being persecuted by the law thanks anyway guys.

Bye

yea this app

u remove with vlite the winsxs and save it clg file with whereisit and have which files can be removed manually
however using vlite is much more easier but if u got stuck u can use it this way

Why not just compare the ISO before and after applying vLite? You'll be able to compare the changes and reproduce them manually.

whereisit does it better and faster
its work only for winsxs
other components that vlite remove it change regs too

I am just not getting how WherIsIt can possibly do what you are saying. Is there any way I could you sweet talk you into making a video showing how you use it as you have tried to describe? Thanks in advance.
