    I got an idea. Why don't we try to edit .xrm-ms to remove this restriction completely before (Re)Construction? It'll require us to create new catalog files and sign it ourselves.
    I'm going to share the following catalog and signature tools in order to make it possible.
    Even though I have yet to figure this out.

    If you can create a new catalog, you can also do whatever you want with the manifests.

    All you have to do is to replace the value in dsig:DigestValue in the manifest by generating the sha256 hash of the modified .xrm-ms file, then encode it using base64. After this you can start creating the new catalog file.

    I did this way when I had to create modified manifests while I was playing with Win8.1 Embedded.

    This file comes from @gailium119, right?

    I will also ask him if he allows me to do this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dear friend and also teacher @Tito

    As I told our friend @Ace2, I am starting an offline and online library of files related to this project, and as I intend for this to be done respecting the Forum rules, I respectfully ask for your permission as a member of the stuff and to leave no doubts as to whether this storage can be shared with all of our other forum members.

    I must also make it clear that I will directly ask each member responsible for posting their consent to create this library and that they will be cited as the creator of the content made available, giving them credit for the contributions of their knowledge.

    Would you have any considerations to make in this regard?

    Thank you for your attention and your decision in advance.

    A big hug.
