Hi,

I'm curious. Can anyone provide an example of how an inbuild language (like Korean, Simplified-Chinese, Traditional-Chinese, etc.) can be removed from an install.wim manually? Not through WinReducer Smile

In the folder of the mounted install.wim there are these 4 files (in this case they are from a Windows Server 2012 R2 U1 version):

Code:

U:\mounted\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_9dff25cfe2e40fa2\GlobalInstallOrder.xml
U:\mounted\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_9e321813e2be5a14\GlobalInstallOrder.xml
U:\mounted\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_fa1dc1539b4180d8\GlobalInstallOrder.xml
U:\mounted\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_fa50b3979b1bcb4a\GlobalInstallOrder.xmlb



E.g. they contain these lines for simplified chinese:

Code:

  <component
      name="Microsoft-Windows-IME-Simplified-Chinese-TIPProfile, Version=6.1.5085.0, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, versionScope=NonSxS"
      order="0xcdd000"
      />
  <component
      name="Microsoft-Windows-IME-Simplified-Chinese-Core, Version=6.1.5085.0, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, versionScope=NonSxS"
      order="0xce5000"
      />



How would this language be removed now?

Just delete these lines in the .xml file(s)? How do we know which files in the mounted folder belong to these lines in the .xml file?

How exactly does WinReducer removes them (if it's easier to describe)...

There must be a manual way Smile
