For windows x86 copy the WIMGAPI.Dll from the WAIK iso to your vLite folder.Right-click on wimfiltr.inf and install after copying wimgapi.dll to vLite folder Google around for vLite 1.16 and download this version
Download”Universal Extractor” to extract the setup for vLite 1.16
extract the WIM files from vLite 1.16 to your vLite1.2 installation folder.

For Windows x64 it should work fine. For windows x86 copy the WIMGAPI.Dll from the WAIK iso to your vLite folder.

Right-click on wimfiltr.inf and install after copying wimgapi.dll to vLite folder

Therefore making changes (such as re-installing the wer.dll service) impossible, you will only be able to remove further components not re-enable any previously removed ones.Hope this helps some of you, there are great benefits to doing this, just takes abit of time to get spot on, my Vista version I did was brilliant.
