Best practice on removing some of the languages or tools

[Amna56]

I'm trying to build a windows 2022 image and since I don't need some of the languages or tools (such as ruby and chrome for example). The build would always fail in the Test step.
My current setup is using packer and powershell to run the window-2022.pkr.hcl
Just asking for the best way to make these edits without the current process.

Hi @Amna56 ,

what process you're following currently , could you please provide information ? thank you !

So the current way to remove something I don't need is by removing the installation step from packer hcl file. I also have the Runall-Tests removed and anything that has to do with software report removed.
I'm asking because windows image is a pain to build and I'm trying to get some of the tools updated or removed due to security vulnerabilites.
