So the answer is that I don't need to install dism or run w7T from a particular location with the current 1.3b2 you released , is that right?

I ran the tool on a partition different than C:\ and I have as a system w7 64bit . What I did was downloading the AIO , decompress and running into the folder where I extracted it. I'm using an image of window 7 64bit sp1 . I chosed to remove many things which use lot of space (natural language, slim down winsxs). I tested on a vm and the installed size (with no hibernation/swap) changed from 7.7gb to 6.8gb. So although it changed, it was supposed to be even slimmer. So I'd like to know if the tool need waik (and which version?) to remove effectively the listed components and if I need to run the application from a particular folder/partition.

Could you be more specific? As I said, I'm only interested in removing the big components of the OS which I won't need: help, naural language, speech support, tablet and east asian languages. Are you implying that using this tool to remove components or other tools like Rt7lite means compromise the stability and security of my system? I'm not been ironic, I just would like to understand.

I read about the Japanese language issue with MS office. I'd like though at least remove chinese and Korean support. I don't see any option for that , so unless I miss something, I have to think there's no option for that. So I thought: maybe I can first build an image with W7Toolkit and then use RT7lite to remove the languages? Or doing that will break things..? I prepared an image now and it took 6 hours to complete. It's not really a problem, but I'd like to ask if it takes so much time to you guys too (to be sure there's nothing wrong wit what I do or my pc or the application) I used a windows sp1 image to which I integrated all the updates (which took ages..) and then removed most of the components which could be selected (including winsxs ). The imaged resulted bigger.

I'd like to remove support for the east-asian languages (chinese, korean, japanese) to reduce the installation size, but I couldn't find any option to do that with the application. So I'm wondering if I'm missing something or the option is not present at all
