[ANSWERED] Help for Extreme Reduction of 8.1

Hi guys, i'm having problem to create an extreme lite ISO for my Windows 8.1 copy.

I get error at 23.8% of cleaning WinSxS with this preset: http://pastebin.com/nB9VZrt7

The only important thing is that i want keep setup.exe so I have keeped Windows - Unnecessary Files in "Optimiziation"

Hello,

What do you mean by "23.8% of cleaning WinSxS" : Is it during 1st boot with "Unattended - WinSXS DISM Cleanup" option, you used ? Or a command you launched after installation ?

OK, I will have a look as soon as I could , thank you for the report !

It should be related with : "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (install.wim)".

So, in order to avoid this error, it should be a good idea to do not use "Unattended - WinSXS DISM Cleanup", because this is not really recommended as you already use a WinReducer WinSxS Optimizations : "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (install.wim)" !

I will try and I will notice you

I have resolved with this preset: http://pastebin.com/PBi5W6VR

But i have an other problem: I start from an ISO with 2 images: Windows 8.1 Core and Windows 8.1 Pro and I choose the first.
When I apply my preset, my ISO is 2.76 GB   why? Maybe, because of second image (not removed)?


I want remove second image from ISO, but there isn't "Windows Licenses" in Remover, as in WinReducer 7.0. How do I do that? I tried with Compression of ISO, but it seem doesn't work.
 

Thank you

hi,

start winreducer and select your wanted (core) edition. after that go to Remover and select:

    <Element Category="Optimizations" Name="ISO - Windows - Delete Unneeded Editions" Selected="true" />

that will delete all other editions exept the one you mounted.

What do I remove?  I don't see nothing after " select: "

can you see it now ?

Yes, I'm trying to create an ISO, not removing that and Net Framework 3.5 (for avoid other errors) and I will say you

why not removing? if you just want to keep ONLY the core edition and remove every other you need to select it so it will be removed

Excuse me, I have written wrong

I have removed the "ISO - Windows - Delete Unneeded Editions" and have kept Net Framework 3.5 to avoid errors (for precaution, to avoid eventual fails)

I tried and I get this error:

How can I resolve this? Please winter2000 reply me

Hello,

Are you using "unattended" tab settings in WinReducer ? if yes, have you tried to define a "Computer Name" ?

Yes, I'm using it and I choose Computer Name as "WIN8.1" Why?

Hello,

This what I've thought, because "." are not allowed to be used in the "Computer Name". So, to solve this, just remove the "." and it should work !

I don't believe that!! My installation broken because of a dot??? Serious?!?! I'm surprised as hell 

Anyway put an error message while entered unsupported chars

I will try with Computer Name as "Win81" and I will notice you. Thank you!

It works fine!  Now, the ISO is 830 MB. 

But I have a problem: I can't activate my copy with M$ Tootkit. 

I get this error: https://2img.net/h/s15.postimg.cc/xj1fihbmj/Immagine.jpg

What component can I keep? 

"EXPERT - Net Framework Complete Cleanup" or "Net Framework Light Cleanup"?

I'm just discovered that my project to install Windows 8.1 on very OLD PC is impossibile because of it doesn't have certain instruction of CPU.

You can delete this topic, thank you very much Winter2000!

Wow, how old is the PC? What processor?

It was an old Amd Duron 900 Mhz, 248 mb of ram + 8 mb of graphics card (S3 Prosavage), with Realtek sound card

But I have found this guide...

Winter2000, can you implement these feature to install Win8.1 also on CPU not supported? 

Thank you

Hello,

This could be possible, but to be honest this is not at the moment my main concern ...

But maybe you could create a tutorial in the forum dedicated part to centralize all resources about this subject to help other interested users ...

I need to try to do this "project" and then, if it's possible, I will do a post

Hello,

That would be helpful for many users (including me), thank you ...
