Vlite Help / Reques

Hello everyone I currently run Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (got a great deal on it) and am planning to buy a Intel x25-m 80GB SSD drive soon and I want to fix my install to free up dead space.

I am a total novice and very little FAQ but how does this look. Anyone notice problems? I cut just about half the size which not sure what that will translate over to. Gonna install on a old IDE drive to see how it fairs.

I can tell you now that is absolutely pointless. I was one of those user that would run Vista though vlite. However, it quickly became apparent that it did nothing but break things. Some you would not even notice until a critical moment like installing a new security update. In the long run there was nothing gained but a few megabytes of space, whooopeee....

* Windows 7 is in the same boat as Vista. Which btw, vlite has not been updated for a long time now. Very little promise that vlite will even work with Windows 7.

Well thanks for the replies. I found out how vlite can screw up the OS when I installed a version I made that removed so many things that windows cried :P Is there a better program btw then vlite for new OS?
However I been using this for the past 32 hours and other then 1 update that fails to update (not 100% sure its windows fault) its been stable and no issues reported. I mostly wanted to gut the crap I never use to save me time removing it.

My end .ini is this. If there are any red flags I would very much appreciate any advice/critique.

Even if Vlite breaks the install the fact I wont ever need to spend 20 minutes editing my services again or put my login/pass etc again is priceless to me.

For those curious my end install was 12.5GB which if its true that x64 7 ultimate is 20GB is a good free up of space + all the crap I usually disable are now done via install vs manually :)


Will keep you all posted if I run into issues (for any google users that are like me)

*edit*
I am getting a error when I try to load my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ISO extracted file. I have my windows extracted to c:\ and in a folder called seven and the RT Seven Lite is in the same place.
