Windows 7: RT Se7en Lite

Hello guys
I tried to customize my Windows 7 DVD but when i install, i receive an error on
" completing installation - setup services"
I did remove some of the services. I shouldn't ?
Bluetooth / Server / and some others.
Yes, i know, i can disable those services, but i wanted to remove them at all
There are some stuff written with red color, i didn't touch them.



Can someone help me, please ? I wanna customize my Windows 7 DVD
Thanks in advance.

Disabling services in RT7lite is not a very good idea IMO, unless you absolutely know what you're doing and absolutely know what you're going to do with this system in the future. The service called server enables file and printer sharing over a network while bluetooth is obvious so they should not be responsible for the errors. Probably some other service you've disabled. Also services depend on other services etc.

You can simply disable services you dont use after you've installed windows though performance gains really arent noticeable, also you can mess up things.

I would leave service alone. The only ones I check to make sure their off are the (remote desktop and such) I don't want remote anything turned on. I don't know what you mean by customizing your Windows 7 DVD. I know of no reason or advantage on removing any service, just turn them off if you must. Many services are interconnected with many things that I and most don't know. They can be tracked down if one really wants to know. Remember that Mr. Gates keep a lot of secrets on how his system works. When we buy a cd with Windows on it the only two things we pay for is the cd itself and the right to use the Windows operating system that is on it. We do not own the operating system.

The main advantage is you can slipstream Win 7 SP1. Makes reinstall a bit faster.

If i want to remove something, like in the image, do i have to uncheck ?
For example, Games and Language Pack. If i wanna get rid oh them, i have to uncheck them ?

Correct but be aware that editing Services like networking in Windows 7 can and often does create unintended consequences down the road. It is already as lean as an OS can be, with all services not needed at Startup set to Manual on fast triggers.

That said, you can regain some disk space losing the Languages and Games. I would not scuttle much else, for example Drivers as it defeats the purpose of Windows 7 being nearly 100% plug n play.

I have to ask....what's the point? If you believe the snakeoil concept that Windows 7 will somehow be lighter and run faster, you will be disappointed. Windows 7 isn't Windows XP, and my hope is that one day, people will finally realize this and stop trying to make Windows 7 play by the same rules. The myth of disabling services has been thoroughly debunked 5-7 years ago. Leave them alone, unless you aren't a fan of stability.
In the time it takes to do this, most can obtain one with SP1 incorporated the proper way.

Yes, reverse integration is most certainly not difficult, and it's safer than using a tool that directly modifies / removes files from the Windows installation.

How would I do this for free? That's what it costs using RT7Lite. If I could download Win 7 Pro X64 from MS or an authorized site with SP1 integrated I'd do it in a heartbeat, but since I can't, this method gives me that for $0.

The only time I would use this is if the drive my image backups are on went bad and I needed to reinstall Win 7.

Besides, it's fun to play with this stuff

There are plenty of ways to get an SP1 disc. Some are debateable, and some are 100% legit. There has been a legit site that can usually be found with a quick Google search, but the links are usually removed on here. My personal fav is to just get one from a friend. The disc isn't what determines legality...it's the license key. If you are using your own license key, you are legit.

As for the fun of playing with things, I completely agree, except when it is something that most avoid like the plague due to the likelihood of an unstable system.

Aside from all of that, the SP1 install is not something I'd spend time trying to avoid. It's pretty much an automated process, and when you are done, you run the cleanup tool and go on about setting up the rest of the system. If you really can't get an SP1-incorporated disc, I would just do manual installs over messing with tools like Windows 7 Lite.
