    To get updates to take..

    He edited the mumfile to add ProfessionalWorkstation to the update.

    Yes, only when modified the registry or the mum file, both are unofficial.

    He showed it before, last week.

    MSMG seems to have it now implemented in MSMG toolkit 8.2.

    They're my own cmdlets/modules that I call from a compiled DLL file that contains all the required methods.

    After calling the compiled DLL, you can access all the methods' functions using .NET framework classes.

    I.E. I call my .DLL at the "Begin" code-block in a function and assign a variable to the .NET class that utilizes the method so I can easily access all other methods on the same namespace:

    $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message
    $RootPath = (Get-Location).Path
    Push-Location ([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath((Resolve-Path $RootPath).Path))
    $WIM_INTEROP = "$RootPath\Bin\Omnic.WimInterop.dll"
    If (Test-Path -Path $WIM_INTEROP -PathType Leaf)
    {
    [void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom($WIM_INTEROP)
    $WIMFile = [Omnic.WIMInterop.WimFile]::New($WIM)
    }

    Then just use the variable to do whatever you want:

    $ImageEdition = $WIMFile.Images[0].Flags
    $ImageInfo = $WIMFile[$ImageEdition]
    $ImageVersion = $ImageInfo.Version

    etc.

    Applying an image is as easy as $WIMFile[$($Index - 1)].Apply($Destination)

    Mounting the image is rarely required to do anything. WimGapi opens the WIM on a special protected handle without having to actually mount it to access/change/modify much of its internal attributes.

    are you talking about the digital license that was linked to your account before you rebuild the new converted iso WS 16278 from home 16278 ?

    His comment was based on lack of knowledge, the HWID is for Pro-ws, why does everything have to be explained to you more than once, can't be the language barrier.

    sorry but his comment made me think again about this but since you are sure it was for WS, that's fine with me.

    @Enthousiast
    you told me that the trick to get updates work on WS consists in modifying the registry by adding ProfessionalWorkStation, correct ?
    if so, where do you exactly have to add ProfessionalWorkStation in registry ?
