Please help. Customizing Win7 is becoming a nightmare. I manually deleted the title folder, but some files can't be deleted (about 400Mb), then I realised I had to previously "unmount" or something, it seems to happen that these folders/files have only granted access to some hidden account.

 

Aside from that, I'm really shooting at the dark here with Win Toolkit, I don't find any guides at all. I don't know where to put the setupcomplete.cmd, unattended.xml, etc.

 

Once after 3 hours (having integrated hotfixes) Win Toolkit freezed my machine when stage of removing components (DVD Maker).

On my second attempt, it finished promptly, so I think it did nothing at all, all the log says is: [0x8007007f] WimLazyInitialize:(1206).

Open and administrative command prompt and enter this command

  

dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:<path_to_WinToolkit_Mount> /discard

 

Also try running this as well

  

dism /Cleanup-Wim

dism, as imagined  : /

I run the first code and I get error 50:

I didn't run the second because I just finished to build an image after almost 5 hours, and don't want to mess anything (Win Toolkit is still open).

 

A file called install.wim is created, what am I supposed to do now? Where do I put setupcomplete.cmd and unattended.xml.

After that I guess I create the ISO right away.

Ok got deleted after I shut down Win Toolkit. I was brave enough and finished the image.

 

Now I got all sorts of issues, but I will open a new thread for that.

I recommend you start a new image if you forced Win Toolkit to close. Although it should be fine if you 'discarded' the image. I will have a look at the DVD Maker freezing issue.
