[ANSWERED] Some issues with WR7 V3 RC6

If you read the topic again, carefully, you will understand.

I and Brittech make a mistake with the editions, like we saied. The keys are different between archs, and in x64 I don't need to delete none of them.

I just want to have a smaller ISO, and I get it working this way.

Thanks for the prompt response.

But, could you kindly clarify if the image you ask to mount in C:/mount is that to copy the .iso from which the we installed Win7 on the VM

or

is it the .vmdk or virtual HDD on which the Win7 was installed inside the VM
 
I read the topic again and didn't understand it yet- see what I mean when I say - I'm not technically inclined.

Just mount the original image you is working with winreducer. This is necessary only for Professional x86 (I don't have tested other x86 images), just to copy the necessary dll files, and have sysprep working in VM enviroment. Once in VM enviroment, I have to delete the registry keys regarding SideShow.

Like this way:
1. Mont the image, and copy it to another place. Don't unmount yet.
2. Apply all updates you want in the mounted image, as explained before to save some time, and unmount it.
3. Do all modifications you want with winreducer.
4. Install windows with result ISO with a VM, and enter sysprep. Do all modifications you want, and finish sysprep.
5. If sysprep stops, just copy the files it needs from the copied original image in step 1 to VM enviroment, and finish it again.
6. In Disk Management in host, attach the VHD and capture it to a new WIM file. Replace the WIM generated in step 3 with this one.

For x64 Professional (again, I don't have tested other images), don't need to copy files or delete registry keys.

Hey guys,

Wonderful thread, thank you very much for this nice sharing !

And I want to inform you that "WinReducer 7.0 - v3.00 (RC12)" will support Internet Explorer 11 integration (automatically download all necessary updates + language file - and slipstream it in your ISO) !

Have a good day !

Thanks romulocarlos.

You took the time to answer my query in as much detail as you possibly could and I wish to thank you very much for that.

Hopefully, others will benefit a lot from your posts.

I, however, am below the level of intellect required for the process you specified and have now given up on this procedure completely.

Thanks anyway.

just curious, is it solved ?

Well, was solved.

I'm making another image, but now i'm using version 3.2.7 and the needs are not the same. System Restore, for example, is now needed.

Hope don't have problems!
