Maybe the questions are too old and asked somewhere else.... 1.What's the $OEM$ directory structure in Vista(please provide a complete list of directories possible) and how to get some files copied on my Desktop during Unattended Install? 2.How to import a registry tweak silently- does vlite provide such facilities? 3.Do i need to modify 'autounattended.xml' file made by vLite to apply my reg tweaks?

Download a Tool -- GimageX, extract n copy wmigapi.dll to the extracted gimagex folder(keep both gimagex and wmigapi.dll file in one folder) and install ur respective wmifilter (x86 or x64)drvier.open gimagex - click mount- [before this make a folder say WORK in ur C:\ drive] and select mount point to this folder(WORK).Now select ur vlited Install.wim as source.click read write and then mount.now goto WORK and open winsxs folder there u will find pending.xml- delete it! (search work folder for pending.xml if u cant find it)close the folder.Now click commit changes in the tool and unmount, u may now make ur vlited bootable cd--- one more thing ='TESTED WORKING' Bang! all done Credits : WiCiO

Thanks Wicio, I'm gonna try this right Now. One more thing , if i integrate Winows search 4.0 and remove search(indexing) using vLite will the same thing work, as i've heard that if u integrate search 4.0 then indexing shudnt be removed using vlite though i think this may be a problem of winsxs.

EDIT Tried the same config again, but this time didnt removed Component Cache.It worked! But what i need is that a fully updated Vista uptil today but Winsxs removed!

Hello Everybody here.... Let me get straight to the topic--- Here i have a strange problem.the problem is whenever i integrate any windows update(.msu) and remove the components using vlite v1.2 Final,my installation never completes(or u may say it completes) but never able to get to the desktop as it shows something like completing stage 3of 3 at the logon screen- it goes from 0 to 100% rebooots n goes on rebooting (looping)....... Though when i remove the same components without adding any update to my pre-integrated vista sp1 image(x86),the installation works.it finishes off perfectly. i tried another way, also --- didnt integrated any update, just only internet explorer 8 beta 2 but again the same error.. I think this may be becoz i remove component cache(Winsxs). it might be like if i integrate any updates then i shouldn't remove comp. cache. My vlite config file is attached (see at the top of this note),plz tell me if i'm removing something that is required for setup to work properly. Also can somebody guide me how to disable driver signing check during setup,i get an error message saying my drivers are not signed.This breaks the unattended setup. Waiting For Quick Reps!
