    WinSXS Cleanup Experiment

    in Win Toolkit v2.x

    Posted

    Today I've been experimenting with cleaning up WinSXS. As you may know every month I create new ISOs, however I've noticed the size for an x64 image goes to about 17.5GB with all 500+ updates installed. I've successfully managed to cleanup WinSXS to reduce the install back to 11GB! The best news is that it boots and installed successfully without a single error :P

     

    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try yet to reduce an image size?

    Any software you can suggest I install to see if it works?

    Any other test?

     

    At the minute it's just an extra exe which I point to the a mount path and it just automatically does its things.

     

    EDIT:  Windows update did prompt 3 tiny updates. KB971033 did not want to install though with error 80070643 so I just hid it.

     

    Tests

    Enable/Disable features - FAIL (not surprised) :P

     

    Software

    Microsoft Office 2013 - OK

    Visual Studio 2013 - PENDING

     

    OK means no issues.

     

    KNOWN ISSUES

    Enable/Disable Features does not work.

    Release 2.0.5651.42757

    in Win Toolkit v2.x

    Don't worry about things which you've already reported not working. I've made note of them and are on my todo list with a link to the original thread.

     

    The new about section is not translatable yet. I've got translations on my todo list for sunday. :)

    I've decided to experiment with having some sort of development cycle. This will give me an aim to do for the day and let you know what to expect at each nightly build.

     

    Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

    • New Features

    The focus of these releases will be to add as many features as possible for you guys to test.

     

     

    Wednesday and Saturday

    • Enhancements

    These releases will take feedback and put them into practice. This includes bug fixes and improving upon existing features, or just improving some code.

     

     

    Sunday

    • Translation

    The en-US template will be updated so any new features will be translatable.

     

    Note: I'm tempted to move translations to the 'Enhancement' days.

    • Automated Testing

    The goal of this task is to add more automated testing. I will be just sat at my desk thinking of tests so no new features will be added.

    • Documentation

    Comments within the code will be updated which makes things easier in the long run. Also the WTK 2.x documentation will be updated if required.

     

    Yes there is documentation for WTK 2.x, currently standing at 15,000+ words (60 pages). :P

     

    Any questions?

    A new build has been released and by default you have a 'Debugger' licence which gains you access to things that I use. For example, on the top right corner on the main menu you can see some test tubes which give you access to test what happens if an exception occurs :)
