Octopuss Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So I discovered this promising-looking tool and immediatelly tried the components removal part. Is it normal that install.wim grew some 40MB bigger after removing more than half of the available packages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The wim will shrink but you have to rebuild the image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George King Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) You must rebuild image after removing componentsEDIT: Sorry for this message, i have opened it in new tab.. Edited July 24, 2011 by George King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks for the replies. I found out about this pretty soon - inability to read sucks The image shrank by about 100MB only - I hope it's so little due to strong compression, because the amount of stuff I checked to remove was high.Stil a shame there's so little to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Make sure you remove the components from all images, then it may shrink more... I'm planning on doing some work on the Component Removal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Lego you should add the ability to only un-hide and remove the desired component(s) and leave the others untouched...or the ability after component removal to restore the registry permissions and re-hide the components once more (so it does not affect feature disabling)Check out this guys explanation to what the install_wim_tweak tool does to un-hide the components (all you need to do is reverse the process)I asked the author of the install_wim_tweak tool to update it and add the ability to un-hide single components without affecting the rest like soinstall_wim_tweak /p C:\mount /m /c <component_name_to_un-hide_here>The source code is available, hopefully someone can do it or you can add it to your tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've already done a few modifications to it myself and fixed quite a few bugs with that tool, it's a great little tool. I will add the feature you are describing to it As i said above i'm planning on doing some work to it by moving it to the All-In-One section so it will remove stuff from all the images you select and not just one at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 w00t!!! :omg:BTW if you fixed bugs or added features you should be a sport and release it + source, because the author was kind enough to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Make sure you remove the components from all images, then it may shrink more... I'm planning on doing some work on the Component Removal Did you mean from other windows versions from the image? If not I don't understandedit: Can you give us link to your modified tweaker btw? I am trying to learn some stuff and experimenting with DISM, so I would really appreciate it. Edited July 28, 2011 by Octopuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) EDIT: I have completed v1.3.3 which let's you use this tool on the current installed OS but not sure if it actually needs releasing...Total amount of changes i've done*the /m is no longer needed, will do the task by default*fixed a bug where it did not work if there was a space in the mountpath.*Win32Security.dll file is no longer needed*Added new colours, errors are displayed in Red*Fixed bug crashing at end of running*Fixed bug where it cannot unmount registry if something fails*Added specific component selection*Fixed some other bugs*Added an appropriate small icon for the appAlso normally you will have to put the specific component name i.e."/c Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514"but if for example you put "/c Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package" it will show all packages starting with that.Top picture is on default run whilst bottom is a specific component.

ricktendo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 OMFG!!! of course it needs releasing, this is awesomeNeeds its own topic IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 As posted on MSFN, i'm now on build v1.3.4 with more another bug fix.Also, i've managed to get the Component Removal on All-In-One working so you can now remove packages from all Window versions in the image automatically, but it won't be visible until W7T 1.0.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hey li what do you think about this icon?http://www.mediafire...5aq1dv6dr81rvoxIf I find a icon/png with a crumpled up piece of paper I can add it next to the cabinet to represent the removed componentEdit: is there any way to list the hidden components (maybe /L for list) so I can know which command to use with /C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The Component remover i was on about is on the All-In-One Integrator, the same tool which you integrate updates, drivers, etc...The /L thing would be easy to do, but should i add it..... maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I can get the cmpnts names manually from the registry, I dont know how other ppl will do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Done and works, if you run with /L it will output all components to a text file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
