[ARCHIVED] Windows Editions Reconstruction Project

OK.

 

Yeah, if the edition wrapper exists it will fail.
Q: Can we create non-initial builds in unstaged method?

 

IMHO simply changing all the versions in LCU mum will be more universal.

 

Checksum...

Do you know why 17763.1 Unstaged image (in any format\any boot method) needs "LCU update" before it can boot to OOBE without BSOD upon completion of install?

Similar to your generalization tweak. But not that issue.

(I made it exactly the same as official image packages. No difference. Useless to replace with official config folder. Useless to import drivers from working image. Only working with LCU update.)

 

I download "professional_xx-xx.esd" from UUPdump for winre.wim.

It works for build from 19041 forward. But I need 17763 one, and it won't work.

Why? Because 17763 uses "Professional_xx-xx.esd".

case-sensitive!

Q: How to search this specific file so that I can find out its exact file name before download?

Not solved but working: Install LCU.

@xinso
Is there any way that I can create unstaged for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 versions up to 1607?
I tried to extract SxS files, but obviously I did not get any .mum files that I needed.

 

I have no experience with old builds.

 

*16299.0

 

17763.1 Unstaged has some package issue.
Yet,
17134.1 Unstaged is even more difficult.

 

16299.0 has a watermark and a expiration time.
16299.15 doesn't.

 

Tested 17763.1 unstaged Script
Result: BSOD:CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
Solution: (Still analyzing dump)
...To be continued....
EDIT:1. Only the manifests in sxs is needed.
2.Only manifests whose name includes '.' instead of '-' is needed.
3.Correct=Decompressed.Wrong=Compressed.
4.The compressed files are in the sxs of the image created from unstaged. Just decompress them.
