    Hi All!


    I'm using the MSMG Toolkit to create a custom Windows 11 image for my own systems; I've added drivers and tweaked it as much as I can / as much as the toolkit allows. What I'd like to do now, is to add 3rd party installers and have them automatically be placed in either the Desktop or Downloads folder once Windows 11 has been installed. Programs such as Google Chrome, Google Drive, Adobe Reader etc.

    How do I do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    create folders into your extracted ISO (or USB):
    Code:
    sources\$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Desktop\Installers

    Why do not you use winget to get the latest versions? Once you install them, they will be reinstalled anyway, prolonging the overall setup time.

    winget requires an user context to run under.
