Here the script i use in Powershell Code: //Adding 10 packages at once, using filler or whole dir /LiteOS $tm = f:\tm $cmd = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList (dir *.mum ).name | foreach { $cmd.add($psitem) ; if ($cmd.count -eq 10) {$s = $cmd[0] ; $s2 = $cmd[1] ; $s3 = $cmd[2]; $s4 = $cmd[3] ; $s5 = $cmd[4] ; $s6 = $cmd[5] ; $s7 = $cmd[6] ; $s8 = $cmd[7] ; $s9 = $cmd[8] ; $s10 = $cmd[9] ; dism /image:$tm /Add-Package /PackagePath:$s /PackagePath:$s2 /PackagePath:$s3 /PackagePath:$s4 /PackagePath:$s5 /PackagePath:$s6 /PackagePath:$s7 /PackagePath:$s8 /PackagePath:$s9 /PackagePath:$s10 /PreventPending ; $cmd.RemoveRange(0,10) } $cmd | dism /image:$tm /Add-Package /PackagePath:$psitem
By dir *.mum, It'll cause errors for uninstallable parent packages, and inappropriate sequences, won't it?
uninstallable parent - yea but doesnt effect the image inappropriate sequences - yea thats bad one mb using filler is must we just need good fillers seq to install them all in the right order and then we can update the script to fiting form
Why mess with the dism based installation when you have the 8.8.1 by T-S which works as is? Perhaps you need to enable the wlan feature on servers to get the WMC working. Don't ask why, but that's a requirement.
Indeed that's the problem of dism based WMC installations: they are used to get broken because DISM tricks are used, and windows update messes with them. It's way different to install a package meant for W10 1709 on server 1709 than install something supposed to be installed in win 8.1, via dism. DISM tricks are very welcome but should be used to fix problems that aren't already solved in a better way.
Whatever the biggest problem I'm facing is still the audio. I have everything working, including internet explorer and even the background image on the logon screen But I have yet to find how to correctly install (I mean via DISM) the audiocore package. I tried copying the missing files manually and adding the audio server and audioendpoint builder services, but audioendpointbuilder won't start (i guess because the driver is not installed), so the audioservice won't start as well. (and obviously WMC won't start because the audio is missing) If you have a good idea I'm all ears.

C:\Users\Administrator>sc start audioendpointbuilder [SC] StartService OPERAZIONI NON RIUSCITE 1083: L'eseguibile che prevede l'esecuzione di questo servizio non implementa il servizio. Sorry I don't have the en MUIs installed. More or less in english is "the executable of this service doesn't implement the service"
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/add-gui-to-server-core-1-0v.76023/#post-1399772 I think i mixed it up
I think I have a good solution to have everything working, including the metro control panel, the audio service and whatever. 1) download the esd,language and rsat packs as per xinso's instructions (be sure to download the right 16299 rsat, not the older one !!!) 2) get Server Acore 1709 and Win 10 1709 Enterprise ISOs (I think is better to use the same version for everything, say 16299.15) 3) create a vhd(x) and deploy the serverAcor in it (obviously you have to use bcdboot to make it bootable inside of a virtual machine) 4) unpack the content the \windows\winsxs directory of w10 enterprise somewhere in your HDD (say C:\winsxs) 5) unpack the content \windows\servicing\packages of w10 enterprise inside the winsxs directory mentioned above 6) move the content of \winsxs\manifests to \winsxs 7) unpack the content of the ESDs and LP to the winsxs dir, overwriting everything 8) use dism to add the packages you need (use the -Package~ ones to get a specific feature and install all the related subpackages) say Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum not Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package00~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum say Microsoft-Windows-Multimedia-RestrictedCodecs-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum not Microsoft-Windows-Multimedia-RestrictedCodecs-avcore-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum Unless you really know what are you doing and you want to cherry-pick from a group of children packages don't forget to install the MUIs of the same name of each package you installed 9) install the rsat cab, the netfx3 cab (if you need it) 10) then unmount the vhd(x) and boot it inside hyper-V (or inside Virtualbox if you have a vhd), when you are satisfied of your work you can boot it natively, you can capture the image inside a WIM, you can convert the vhd to a vmdk and boot it inside vmware, you can copy its content in a real partition, and so on...
sugestion create windows server 1709 full configured to gui and other packs and create iso using sysprep and upload for users install already ready, what do you think?
What's important is not the result, is the method (which I think is a world first) a method posted here to be extended, refined and improved, just like I did with Xinso's work So to reply also to other users I don't mind to share a premade ISO, that would be forbidden and counterproductive. Anyway this is what I installed (x64 and x86 where applicable), not sure everything is needed, not sure if something else should be added (especially in the multimedia area) Packages needed (I think) Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package Microsoft-Windows-Enterprise-Desktop-Shared-Package Microsoft-Windows-ShellExperienceHost-Package Microsoft-Windows-Client-ShellLauncher-Package Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package Microsoft-Client-Features-Classic-Package Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-ShellLauncher-Package Optional packages: microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab WindowsTH-KB2693643-x64.cab <---- be sure to use 16299 one microsoft-windows-internetexplorer-optional-package.cab Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Wallpaper-Common-Package Microsoft-Windows-Shell-SoundThemes-Package
