    IF that was possible it would never get the updates integrated anyway.

    Using Win 7x64 - When I try to run uup_download_windows.cmd I get
    Downloading aria2c.exe...
    Failed to download aria2c.exe
    Unable to connect to the remote server
    Press any key to continue . . .
    Is there any workaround or do I have to use win 10?

    In general win 7 can't handle UUP conversion.

    Hello people. I am completely new to this and would much appreciate any help.

    I've just downloaded Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H2 (19044.2545) amd64 and have the extracted folder 19044.2545_amd64_en-gb_professional_b70f45b1_convert_virtual and I'm running the esd version, pro Workstation, IOT and and Enterprise.

    It says there are additional files and to download/convert them:

    I've ran the script and successfully converted the files to cab. But I'm unsure which folder to add them to. Can anybody please assist?

    Is it the 19044.2545_amd64_en-gb_professional_b70f45b1_convert_virtual folder, or the contained files folder in there, or something else?

    you don't need File renaming script at all, it's helpful only if you are downloading files manually

    in downloaded zip archive you should have .cmd script and it should download and convert everything

    Cheers. I just thought it might speed things up or was required.

    They'll just be auto fetched from the servers?

    Cheers

    Edit: Just noticed a long list of errors! I'll just post a few examples from the end. Any ideas if this makes a difference? I'm assuming it's because I forced DISM.

    What exactly is it trying to do? I've got not idea what the mountUUP folder is for!

    They are part of the selected build download.
    You have leftovers from a previous run that went wrong, reboot and run "Remove_Failure_MountDir.cmd", next check if c:\mountUUP is gone.

    Much appreciated there pal, as were your tutorials that I originally followed much earlier in the thread. Gods work and all that.

    It cleared up anyway but I ran the script regardless. Using this to install windows and replace all my files has totally fixed my borked w10 install. Thanks man.

    Did I see you mention in another thread that to run a recovery ISO I would need to convert the ESD to WIM, or even straight to WIM? and am I right in thinking you said you can just extract these ISO's on a disk instead of using Rufus?

    I've always loved/known this website but only started diving deep that I'm feeling increasingly bloated and "clouded". Incredible work to all, and thanks to those who answered questions.

    To create an ISO then ESD>ISO is another way to do that but can't remember it was about a recovery ISO, maybe it was about an inplace/repair upgrade.
    Yes, no need for a bootable USB, mounting or extracting the ISO will be enough to start setup.exe to perform an (inplace/repair) upgrade.

    I no longer use Windows 7 but I'm curious -- why can't Windows 7 handle UUP conversion?

    He ment you cannot use it to integrate updates for Win10 (1803 or 1809 and later)

    even Win8.1 now cannot integrate updates for Win11 22H2 and later

    @Diego F.
    Try this...
    1. Edit your ConvertConfig.ini file eg.
    Code:
    [convert-UUP]
    AutoStart    =0     <--- to stop the creation of .iso automatically
    AddUpdates   =1
    Cleanup      =0
    ResetBase    =0
    NetFx3       =0
    StartVirtual =1
    wim2esd      =0
    wim2swm      =0
    SkipISO      =1
    SkipWinRE    =0
    LCUwinre     =1
    UpdtBootFiles=1
    ForceDism    =1
    RefESD       =0
    SkipEdge     =0
    AutoExit     =0
    
    [Store_Apps]
    SkipApps     =0
    AppsLevel    =0
    CustomList   =1     <--- to use CustomAppsList.txt
    
    [create_virtual_editions]
    vAutoStart   =1
    vDeleteSource=1
    vPreserve    =0
    vwim2esd     =0
    vwim2swm     =0
    vSkipISO     =1     <--- I don't use .iso files, just distribution folder (can be copied directly to a bootable USB)
    vAutoEditions=Enterprise
    
    2. Edit your uup_download_windows.cmd (lines 74 and 92)
    --auto-file-renaming=false --check-certificate=false

    3. run uup_download_windows.cmd

    4. Edit your CustomAppsList.txt (uncomment [remove #] apps you want to keep) eg.
    Code:
    ### UWP Store applications, for integration into builds 22563 and later
    
    ### Choose the wanted apps from below by removing # prefix
    
    ### Common Apps / Client editions all

    - Download errors are expected with Apps files (too small, links expire fast)
    re-run the download script multiple times to get all files

    - Latest version is not always necessary
    to use manually downloaded files:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1767162/

    - It's not possible to download some Apps, either all of them or none, per UUP metadata

    - Use first syntax (no space before app name)

    - CustomAppsList.txt is included with uup-converter-wimlib.7z
    currently, to be able to use modified CustomAppsList.txt with UUP dump download, you need first to edit uup_download_windows.cmd

    If I use SkipEdge, will Windows still install Edge automatically when running updates?
