Re: 7Lite?
Nuhi has publicly said that he will NOT be developing a 7lite application.
Re: 7Lite?
I will not be upgrading to Windows 7 unless I see 7lite or a similar tool out there. It is so much I was able to accomplish with nLite for Windows XP, getting down to 33MB of RAM ussage on a fresh install, etc, there is no way I am about to sacrifice such a great utility in the name of bloatwarerish crap of Windows 7.
So, no 7lite, no Windows 7.
That's my policy.

RT 7Lite has been around for awhile now
IMO Windows 7 is not bloatware, I dont need tools such as 7Lite to build a bitching ISO all I need is WAIK

Re: 7Lite?
Indeed. Win7 blows away XP and definitely Vista. DISM will handle all your component removals with ease. You just need to get a handle on the command-line.
The only reason I haven't switched my wifes notebook over to Win7 is because it has a stupid media control strip on the left and quick launch buttons on the right of the keyboard which is controlled by an XP-only app. She insists on using them, so she's stuck with XP.

Re: 7Lite?

Re: 7Lite?
the only reason nlite was a success is that there was so much room for improvement in XP. If nuhi hadn't developed it, someone else would have.
With Win7, not so much. The rt7lite tool can do a lot of work customizing a WIM image but that is really all it's doing, customizing a WIM. It even uses existing msft tools to do so.
However, unlike XP images that have been massaged with nlite, I have seen nothing that proves that a customized Win7 WIM will perform better or be more stable than what msft distributes.
The poster in #4 would be well served by updating his knowledge base and stop trying to judge or evaluate current OS releases based on obsolete knowledge.
Yes, there IS such a thing as obsolete knowledge and it holds people back.

Re: 7Lite?
I've been trying to use RT 7 Lite for about a month and have not been successful.
Many trips to various forums and sending messages to the authors went nowhere until I ran across a posting that provided an answer: RT 7 Lite will only run if Win7 has been installed on the C:\> drive - if the user is dual/multi-booting and installed Win7 on a drive not C:\ then RT 7 Lite fails to run.
My #1 system has Win7 32-bit on drive I:\> and Win7 64-bit on drive H:\> - RT 7 Lite fails.
My #2 system has Win7 32-bit also on drive H:\> - RT 7 Lite fails here too.
In the RT 7 Lite form the program author's response to this problem was it's the users fault not his. I guess his position is that to use his program you must install Win7 on drive C:\ - period.
Re: 7Lite?
All I know is ricktendo64 has made some VERY COOL videos showing how he uses the power of MSFT utilities to alter and reconfigure a Win7 install disk.
He USED to have a LINK in his SIGNATURE line, but I don't see it here.
Rick, I wish you lived closer so I could send you some computer hardware, but the shipping charges are outasite....
Am looking forward to your next instructional (and extremely VALUABLE) video.
Please share those links again and keep up the fantastic work!

I added the link to the videos back to Rick's signature. 
Nothing like a little shameless advertising, eh Rick!
