i need to say i just tried it on windows 7 isos.

sometimes it does it only @install.wim and sometimes at boot.wim too.
thats really annoying because it worked well with earlier versions.

Hey Winterstorm!
Did you manage to correctly remove Family Safety? I cannot see nothing relevant in latest changelogs. Even though I can remove this service by cmd, I wonder if WinReducer kills scheduled tasks too, about this service. Thanks

Hello,

Family Safety is already available to be removed, so I think I'm missing something, could you please be more precise ... Thanks ...   

Regards.

Sure! We discussed a couple of weeks ago about a bug in removing Family Safety that makes research in Charm Bar incomplete. Has it been fixed?
THIS is the thread.

OK, I understand ... and I didn't forget it !   

But for the moment, it hasn't been fixed but it will be in the next builds ....  

I can wait Thank you!

Hey amine20, how are you my friend ?
For your trouble, I've tried and it works for me, but did you remove "Network - Internet Explorer (Engine)" ?
PS : the "vdmdbg.dll" file is a part of the "Accessories - 16bit Support".

Hey,

I will have a look but I need to delay the v1.12 build to mid next week. I simply do not have enough time, this week, to correctly test this build. So I do not want to release it for the moment ! Sorry guys ...  

Regards.

do not worry winter We'll wait for next build(1.12) every time every when

Hey guys,

The v1.12 will be available at the end of the week, I'm currently testing it !   

Regards.

 nice!

Does the software now work on esd files? If not, how do I use an ISO with an esd in it? I know this has been discussed before, could somebody point me out to that page or tell me what to do?

The program you have linked to does not have a 'tools and settings' option.

Hello aymanalz,

No WinReducer 8.1 do not support esd files, but I'm thinking about creating a simple external program to do it.

I think I will release it in the beginning of the next week !

It will convert esd->wim and wim->esd ...   

Best Regards.

Oh, I see the problem now. The link you gave earlier was to the program 'WHdownloader', whereas you are using 'Windows hotfix donwloader'. Maybe one of them is a more recent version of the other. Anyway I have downloaded the latter program, and will try to convert using that.

My friend  WHdownloader =  Windows hotfix donwloader


Ok

Hi winter.
What does the first option related to WinSXS in the Unattended section do?
 - "Unattended - WinSXS DISM Cleanup"

Regarding the second option, 
 - "Unattended - WinSXS DISM Cleanup - ResetBase"

I have seen online that the second option related to WinSXS in the Unattended section "removes all superseded versions of every component in the component store". I do not see any size difference in the ISO after this. I use a wim captured from VMWare with all the latest updates installed.

For me, both of these options are safe to use.

I am investigating all the WinSXS related options to see what options are safe to use to keep Windows Update. 
Important for me as I do not reinstall on my main machine very often as its our Media Center/internet PC (i.e. my wife goes nuts if I touch it, so I cant change it too often)

Hey theKramer,

How are you my friend ?

Those 2 options are doing exactly what you find ... Yes they are safe, and you could see them as an official MS WinSXS cleaning   ... But with Windows 8.1 Update 1, the process is really slow because DISM is slow with this function !

Best Regards.

Hello,

It's ready and it seems to work great, but the only limit is that you need to choose only one edition in your file. In other word, you can't save an entire All in One ISO, only one edition of them are supported ... Just because the project is WinReducer and the purpose is to reduce your installation media !

Here is the 1st screenshot :



It will be available today or tomorrow ... with English and French translation files already integrated !

This is great Tools winter

Really Thanks

Hey when the 1.12 version?
