    any prototypes yet? - w7 only or something. w7 support would be great at least. I'm not that much into the w8 things.

    Not removal (too risky to break things). More to do things like extracting features from server and install them on client with dism, with the POSSIBILITY it works. And even if it works it's doubtful that all parts of that feature are working for 100%. But for example dedup works and I'm sure many other things can work too.

    I was wondering if it might be possible to use DISM.
    As we all know, there is an option to remove a package from an image, for example:
    Code:
    DISM /Image:C:\MOUNT /Remove-Package /PackageName:WinPE-MDAC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.9600.16384
    What if we could remove the package into a CAB file, for example:
    Code:
    DISM /Image:C:\MOUNT /Remove-Package /PackageName:WinPE-MDAC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.9600.16384 > D:\WinPE-MDAC.cab
    Is this somehow supported in DISM?

    (OP)
    That would mean extracting and then removing. Removing it might be possible, but some registry entries must be changed in order for dism to pick them up, just like you need to do to remove the camera package from windows 8.1. Don't ask me which keys it are though.
