[ARCHIVED] Windows Editions Reconstruction Project

There are no secrets, they are all learned from you, mainly using the tools you gave me before, such as SXSEXPAND, install.xml, install-remove.xml. The server extraction package is prone to errors, so use SXSEXPAND to form a complete package, and then use install.xml and install-remove.xml to install and convert the version. English is too bad, I don’t know how to say it in detail? You can explain to EeroS.

 

Very good.

 

"Microsoft-Windows-Server-DesktopUX-Package+Microsoft-Windows-Server-DesktopUX-WOW64-Package" is too big, and the installation is prone to errors. So you can use install.xml to add ServerAzureStackHCICor to ServerDatacenter, then use install-remove.xml to install ServerAzureStackHCICo and remove ServerDatacenter.

Note that ServerAzureStackHCICorEdition.mum must add Microsoft-Windows-Server-DesktopUX-Package and Microsoft-Windows-Server-DesktopUX-WOW64-Package.

As a result, you actually only need to integrate Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-ServerAzureStackHCICor-Package, Microsoft-Windows-EditionPack-ServerAzureStackHCICor-Package, Microsoft-Windows-EditionPack-ServerAzureStackHCICor-WOW64-Package and corresponding language packs, which saves time and reduces errors happened.

These methods are all in the version conversion tool of Mr. Xinso, after I split it, it is convenient to use a certain function.you can study them carefully.

 

Good.

 

Yes, I split your tool and use it separately according to my needs.

 

Yes, that's right.

 

Microsoft-Windows-ServerWebEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10537.0

 

Thanks for this information, it helps me a lot. Now I understand the conversion. Going to make proper XML files now, to succeed in the conversion.

 

Specific document content
mum file

 

You guys gave me enough info, doing by myself is best way to learn.

 

Finally

Spoiler: ServerAzureStackHCICor based on ServerDatacenter

Skipping the Hotpatch annoyance helped. Next up is testing. Going to update if it works.

 

Conversion went perfectly, runs fine on VM.

Spoiler: installed

 

Next step:
1. Take Non-Azure Server Roles and Features out.
2. Add missing Azure Roles and Features.

PS.
From the mum, not chop-down.

Hint:
Compare Features.

 

I need to try that, now when I have learned how to use custom MUMs properly.

As a sidenote, Set-PreviewChannel also works on GUI ServerAzureStackHCICor.

Spoiler: update push

 

Yeah, why not give it a go.

 

Server Core is actually quite big on footprint. Desktop Experience is bigger mainly because GUI features.
Sidenote 2: the feature update actually just updated my langpack. It also corrected language settings related CBS errors.

 

Nice finding, thanks.
