Use zlite to make a lite version of windows 7.

i just want to remove other editions of 7, like home premium, pro, and just leave ultimate

 

[septprince]

you can do that but dont think that it will reduce the size of the install.wim file.

 

[Win7exp]

it should reduce some size of it, at least a couple hundred megabytes

WIM files use a difference algorithm meaning only the difference between the editions is saved. Since Ultimate has everything, the reduction in size will be very very minimal. Can remove all the eddition you do not want by recreating the install.wim with imagex. Do this by exporting the ones you want into a new wim file. Also with recreating the wim, can use high compression.

What is your purpose?

to create a install.wim that will install on a dvd, is there still a 4G plateau ? John

The largest Windows 7 ISO image for the 64bit version is well under 4 GBs it will fit on a single layer DVD just fine. There is nothing to be done to make it fit upon a DVD unless you modified the ISO and inflated it. Otherwise a dual-layer DVD would work just as well.

Dual-layer DVD can hold over 7 GB.

I have a 5.2Gig install.wim. How do I shrink it to 4.0 Gigs? I am using GUImagex to build the wim file. Compression set to maximum and the flag set to Ultimate. How do I compress it more? What do I take out? What effects the size of install.wim. I have a seperate partition for Windows 7 Ultimate, Sp1 and all the updates from Windows Update. Please Help! Thank you, John
