Why ? With store upgrade you have these two similarly problems: Isn't it better for investigation and research to have always the same file to get reproducible results ?
At the actual stage it really doesn't matter so much that is until we can decrypt successfully the install.esd.
I only ment the respond for the his post about store url Windows RT does not have separate download links (outside store) like x86 and x64 I already have WindowsBlue-ProESDwithApps-32bit-English-X1897212.esd and install.esd, both ready for investigation and research once we have further method for
Hi all, thank you for putting your efforts into this thread. I had a question: if I finally manage to download the 9600.16415.winblue_refresh.130928-2229_x64fre_client_professionalwmc_gdr_en-gb-ir1_cpwmca_x64frer_en-gb-----------.esd, can i use the exact same method which Mikorist mentioned in post #84 of this thread to create the install esd and upgrade my win 8 to 8.1 without a problem, or i need another unique class id, session id and report id?
I downloaded the esd file by download manager while i kept the download through store alive. I followed Mikorist method, and I was able to create the $windows.~bt and source folder. but when I run the setuphost.exe it only creates a "panther" folder with a couple of xml and log files; one of which is the setuperr.log that I attach here, the actual windows setup doesn't even start.

Any ideas?
I have created svf patch from the original downloaded esd file to install.esd, and the result was +5 MB btw, how do you make multi indexes esd file? isn't the "Export" command works for one index only?
No, you can keep adding indexes to an install.esd with the dism /export I'm not sure why, but even adding tons of kbfiles in megabytes, like the oct and nov rollups, do not increase the size of the recovery compressed install.esd very much It's for this reason that I've pretty much stopped pursuing a conversion. You could aso do a: dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase during the setupcomplete.cmd, but I personally just left it up to the user's discretion and put a script that will do that in a scripts folder on my isos. This way if there was ever a problem with a particular kbfile, someone could uninstall it before doing a resetbase if they needed to.
Is it also possible to include the "ExclusionList" into the command line of "recimg" recimg /createimage c:\my-refresh-image\image1 to create a smaller "CustomRefresh.wim" ?
I noticed that too. I'm 99% sure the exclusions are listed during the beginning of the capture dism command.
I've downloaded a collection with 2 DVDs called "Windows 8.1 AIO 6 in 1" "DVD 1" has x86 versions: Windows 8.1 Single Language, Windows 8.1 (Core), Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro VL, Windows 8.1 Media Center, Windows 8.1 Enterprise "DVD 2" has x64 versions: Windows 8.1 Single Language, Windows 8.1 (Core), Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro VL, Windows 8.1 Media Center, Windows 8.1 Enterprise I would like to use AIK to remove Windows 8.1 Pro VL, Windows 8.1 Media Center, Windows 8.1 Enterprise from both DVDs, after that combine remaining versions x86 and x64 by a single DVD. I expected to extract selected versions from \sources\install.wim, but... actually DVDs have \sources\install.esd Anyway to resolve this problem?
I just wanted to add that capturing 8.x images are MUCH faster with dism than imagex or gimagex v2. Dism doesn't seem to get hung up on the file property warnings like imagex does. If you have used imagex to capture a directory you'll notice that it sits there for like an hour spitting out file warnings before it ever captures anything.
