Stripping options #1

Closed pervognsen closed 7 years ago

Thanks for publishing this script! I think it'll be helpful to folks.

I suggest there be options for stripping down the distribution. Here's some really low-hanging fruit:

rd /s /q lib\onecore lib\x86\store lib\x64\store del lib\x86\msvcurt. lib\x86\libconc. lib\x64\msvcurt. lib\x64\libconc.

This reduces the distribution size on my system from 781 MB to 231 MB (and compresses to 22 MB).

It removes things that I don't think most (if any) game developers will use like the Universal Runtime, Windows Store and ConcRT libraries.

Good idea. I went ahead and remove some of the lesser used libraries from the distribution.
