Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 IE9 lite v2 (ivankehayov)

Win7.SP1.IE9.lite.v2-IK (size: 700 MB) ______________________________________ This is second (improved) version of my stripped down version of Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 (32-bit). It\\\'s bootable image based on en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso This Windows is updateable through Windows Update (language packs cannot be installed). There is no any software or updates added except newer Internet Explorer 9. Some tools used: dism, gimagex, vLite, RT7lite, W7T etc. (many thanks to their autors) ______________________________________________________________________________________ What\\\'s difference with last release (Win7.SP1.IE9.lite-IK): added: Remote Desktop Connection added: Backup and Recovery added: Windows PowerShell contains all sound and network cards drivers. removed: Minesweeper and Purble Place games only. less services are disabled. Windows 7 will be activated if SLIC 2.1 is found in BIOS. Windows should be 100% software compatible now. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Reminder: Note that almost all the drivers are removed and you should have your computer drivers ready before installation. If you are regular user you will not notice any difference using my lite version compared to full-featured Windows 7. An autoattended.xml file is inserted in the image to automate the installation (Language: EN, name: Administrator, PC name: IK-PC, time: UTC+2h. All can be changed after setup). You need only to point a partition for installation and in 5-10 min Windows should be installed. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Always check hashes after download to ensure iso file is virus-free and unmodified.

Hi, Ivan!
Thank you for your efforts, but Brother Printer scanner driver will not install (but is detected). If try to install driver from Brother software the printer is not detected! In full version will install from Windows Update (maybe, Brother support is missing?)

Bora84 (2011-09-07)

@ivankeheyov:
Cheers for this wonderful product, ive installed your first version on more then 10 computers so far and everything was running great except Norton antivirus which wouldnt install, now with V2 norton antivirus finally works.
I love to test your stuff and install it cause its really fast and slick but also i need a 64bit for some computers. So can you tell me will you ever make a 64bit version of this? Please respond. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Bora84 (2011-09-07)

Thanks for responding mate :)
It doesnt have to be 700mb like 32bit, i know its impossible cause 64bit is 1gb larger then 32bit.
Just strip the same things from it and tweak it like 32bit and thats it.
Dont care about the size.

DeCliffe (2011-09-08)

Ivankehayov, you really inspire me, keep up the good work.... I also downloaded the win 7 ultimate lite-ik version but am having trouble creating the lang.ini file, is it possible for you to upload one for me, even to my my email ([email protected])... Thenx alot....

blacksidex6 (2011-09-08)

Downloading now...Of course I will seed...Thanks ivankehayov

milrob (2011-09-08)

Hi Ivan!
Brother Printer scanner driver not installing due to Brmf2wia.dll missing from System32 folder. On a full installation, it is already there.
I'll open up your ISO and add it-see what happens.
Thanks for your reply.

milrob (2011-09-09)

Sorry for double post-there is another dependency for Brother printer drivers but I cannot locate. Oh, well.

hanoii (2011-09-09)

Does it come with Spanish? I read language packs cannot be installed, any chance you can include it somehow on the build? Thanks a lot.

milrob (2011-09-10)

@Ivankehayov,
Yes, I did. Only the printer driver installed, not the scanner driver.
Using the official installer, it is not detected. Using Windows Update, it is detected but will not install.
Using full version, both are detected and install fine using either method.
There are files in Windows that Brother devices depend on, but I do not know what or where they are.

trala123 (2011-09-10)

The reason you cannot install your Printer is because he removed Printer Drivers from the image... I see ivankehayov is not aware of this, but if you remove Printer Drivers from an image, you also break SUPPORT for any Printer. It doesn't matter if you have your own drivers, you CANNOT install any Printer if you remove Printer Drivers. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Same thing goes for (certain) Scanners: If you remove Scanner Drivers, a lot of scanners require certain drivers/components in order to be installed. So many scanners cannot be installed if you remove Scanner Drivers from an image.
So this Lite OS will not support installation of Printers and Scanners. So only use it if you don't require printer/scanner support. (Some scanners may work if they have their complete drivers components without requiring MS components, but NO printers will be supported.)
ivankehayov, please consider making a version where you keep all Printer and Scanner Drivers, please. Also, double-check Office 2010 install support (regarding Japanese language). Thanks :)

trala123 (2011-09-10)

My posts disappeared... What I said was:
If you remove Printer Drivers, it will break SUPPORT for all Printers... it doesn't matter if you have your own drivers or not. No Printers will be supported after removing Printer Drivers.
(Almost) same thing goes for Scanner Drivers... if you remove these, many scanners cannot be installed anymore because they require certain components that are now removed. Again, it does not matter if you have your own drivers or not...
Please don't remove my comment, people need to know this...

laxconic (2011-09-10)

Great ISO! Fast install was perfect and no problems at all with heavy use, thanks so much for your work.
One question is there any way via hack/tool etc to install language packs after install? I need Japanese installed in addition to english.
cheers

trala123 (2011-09-11)

OK, don't call it "Support" then, but what I'm talking about is exactly what Milrob is experiencing. I have also made Lite builds myself. I have a Canon Printer+Scanner, and the driver install gets into a loop when using Canon website drivers. It then tries to get the drivers via Windows Update, and ends up in a loop -- downloading, installing, downloading, installing.
My point is: if you have to manually add files back into your image from a Full image of Windows, then I call that 'breaking support'. Do you understand what I'm saying here? It is not only a matter of having the drivers for your hardware yourself, it is also that some of these drivers require additional components (present in Full Windows) in order to function. So it may work for your printer or scanner, but obviously it doesn't work for every one out there...
But I applaud your efforts. However, I would much prefer you release a 800 or 900mb version of this that includes Printer & Scanner drivers (and doesn't break the ability to install these, as with Milrob, for example). I know it's nice to be able to fit it on a CD-ROM, but most people can install from DVD or USB now. Sorry if I upset you, but I still think people need to know there are limitations, which have no been proven. Good luck for your next version -- I hope you follow my advice.
Don't worry about the Office 2010 thing, I only said that in case you make another version (not to forget it) but I know it works fine in this release. Peace :)

Use windows update. check for updates, click the optional tab, it should be there. there is quite a bit of lang's to choice from. it MIGHT be in the important section, i forget.

@laxconic
Installing a language pack with this release won't work with window updates. However i found a way to do it, and it's quite easy.
1. Download Vistalizator_beta (Must be this version, tried with the original and didn't work)

2. Download a language pack here http://www.froggie.sk/7lp32rtm.html
3. Open Vistalizator and add your downloaded language pack, and choose the method of installing express not internal (Express mode will only work!)
4. Restart your pc and it will be in your language.
I had few issues install some updates, this is fixable by download the Readiness Tool.
Link here

I was able to install language packs aswell after installing readiness tool, But they didn't work. The configuration failed.
However Vistalizator_beta made installing language packs work! So give it a go.

nunaa68 (2011-11-05)

anyone got an activation link and product key??

techsmith12 (2012-03-29)

ivankehayov: amazing work. How did you strip winsxs down to 255mb? I have been trying to make a 64bit version, but even W7T doesn't help. any tips or can you make a new torrent with build instructions?

archlichkingc (2012-04-06)

May I ask will this version consume less HDD space ?
Because the original Windows 7 costs around 13gb-15gb and I don't have enough HDD for data (my HDD has only 80gb)

ipaq8888 (2012-04-06)

possible to know if it possible to add all the default drivers from the original win7 after installation of this version?
i had try to add the audio driver of my hd6450 hdmi card but am facing problem

sith_neo (2013-06-25)

Worked perfectly :)
Thanks Ivankehayov, all seeds
Great job =) soldiers
