szwicker Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I know that if you attempt to use Nuhi Winlite to modify the WinPE install files directly, it will tell you to take a hike...BUT what if we were to use Winlite to modify the XP files adding drivers etc. Then I could recompile WinPE using those updated XP files, etc.Worth an effort?

fess Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I reduce WinXp installation with NLite and then I use BartPe and all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getwired Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 What are you removing via NLite that would normally be there in WinPE??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fess Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I remove practically anything using NLite (File->Load Settings->Lite->Remove Components) and I remove a lot of languages.After that folder with WinXp installatoin is about 136 MB. Then I use PeBuilder to create WinPe (There are a lot of errors during this process but it is all right. I have ~430 errors). After that size of WinPe is about 120 MB.And all works.

MHz Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yup, probably does. Happy birthday. btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getwired Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 two things...1: if you do something, and it throws hundreds of errors, it doesn't really work.2: if by scalping the XP source, you wind up with a WinPE install of 120 MB, it doesn't really work - as any level of careful file exclusion (using the supported method of removing files from WinPE) can get you a WinPE that is error free at build time, and smaller than 120MB.

fess Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Happy birthday.Thanks, MHz if you do something, and it throws hundreds of errors, it doesn't really work.This errors only about missing files.if by scalping the XP source, you wind up with a WinPE install of 120 MB, it doesn't really workIt works, because if I install WinXp from this source it will be work fine (I tested it), so WinPe should work as fine as WinXp from this reduced installaton.using the supported method of removing files from WinPEWhat is this method?

getwired Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 My point was more that you aren't really removing much from WinPE (if you're only down to 120)... As WinPE can be carefully scaled down using the documentation included with it to get below 120, that's the supported way to remove files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
