Hello there Today I tried for the first time UUP Dump. I want to download the latest final build of W11 with updates, and it seemed to work like a charm... However, despite I made a second attempt paying attention at selecting "Public Release" and checking the channel was actually "retail", the created ISO keeps showing "NI_RELEASE". Anyone can help? I was not able to find my answer in this post nor in the UUP Dump FAQ. My selection: Language = EN GB Method = Download, add additions and convert to ISO Options = Include updates, Component clean-up, Integrate .NET 3.5 Editions = Entreprise x2 & IoT Thanks!
What's wrong with NI_RELEASE? or you mean the iso version is 22621.1? if that the case, that mean the Updates Integration process failed for some reason, you should read the progress and verify before closing cmd window
Thank you for the feedback. My understanding is that NI RELEASE is a preview, am I wrong? Yes, the iso version shown is 22621.1 I couldn't spot any error in the first cmd window (black), but as it disappears automatically, I couldn't check in detail. The second cmd window (blue) does not show any error.
NI_RELEASE is the latest public Win11 version NI_PRERELEASE is the Dev channel the blue window is what matters, it should show updates integration progress (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool)
It could have something to do with my selection. I made a third attempt with US English and leaving all editions, iso name changed to 22621.1992.230706-1158.NI_RELEASE_SVC_PROD1_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO. This looks normal?
After I got the final iso, I do not see an ei.cfg in the source folder, how am I able to do the selection during installation? I selected home, pro, enterprise. Can someone help? Thanks
1. ESD means the resulting ISO is smaller. However, it is then no longer servicable directly, plus, the creation of install.esd requires a good PC. 2. It gives a cleaner ISO. Recommended unless it gives you problems. UUP does not provide any EVAL ISOs.
The reduced size is not worth the amount of time and resources needed for creating ESD file. Better to just create ISO with install.wim instead. I am an ESD collector myself, but I know and should accept that Microsoft won't release full ESD as often as regular full ISO. Even in uupdump, so far the only version with full ESD (that can be installed directly without converting) are Server 21H2 and Server 23H2.
I don't know why you can't connect to it that port might already be is use or your firewall is blocking apache web server try PHP built-in server using uupdump-x64\scripts\uupdump-run-php-website.cmd script
I agreed with this, the usual size is arond 5GB, so just get a 8GB usb flash drive and it will be perfect.
I don't have much space left in my main Drive C to create vhdx. I even run Windows 11 in just a 20GB partition. I don't want to delete my precious movie and anime collections just for toying around with Windows.
The idea is exactly avoiding the wasted space because partitioning (which is just one of the endless advantages of vhdx). Perhaps you don't need 20GB for win11 just use a LZX compressed installation and any x64 install will fit in 6GB or so
It is already LZX compressed. The storage is still half empty even after installing drivers and apps (though I still had to remove Chimpanzee... I mean ClipChamp and other bloatwares), I need that empty space in case I want to download some big files.
