[GUIDE] [DISCUSSION] Windows Editions Reconstructions

thank you very much testing

 

Are there similar to special NanoServer Editions found on the Windows Server 2016 ISO ?

 

finally works thanks again

 

check $windows.~bt\\ are still deleted and delete [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinPE]

 

thanks for reminder - yes, they exist

 

to be precise - there is a single backslash in the paths, not a double one

for example X:\$windows.~bt\Windows, not X:\\$windows.~bt\\Windows

 

remove any and all $windows.~bt\

 

done

 

check

forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/guide-discussion-windows-editions-reconstructions.88605/page-195#post-1900644

to see if you need to add any missing regedit keys or correct any...

skip [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DRIVERS\DriverDatabase]
skip [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds]

only apply-wim method for installation and unfortunately black screen

 

I managed to install WinPE with the desktop, but... the menu is broken! We have a blank screen; the processor is 46, consuming 850 MB, and the kernel is both active and lost with a reg pack. It's crazy to have to start all over again, but I'm not giving up. One day it will be okay.

 

use commands

Code:

md C:\mount\Windows\Setup\State
echo:[State]>C:\mount\Windows\Setup\State\State.ini
echo:ImageState=IMAGE_STATE_GENERALIZE_RESEAL_TO_OOBE>>C:\mount\Windows\Setup\State\State.ini

Code:

PowerShell.exe -C "'<migrationManifests></migrationManifests>' | Out-File -Encoding ASCII -FilePath C:\mount\Windows\WinSxS\migration.xml"

add

Code:

Reg.exe add "HKLM\zSYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager" /f /v "setupexecute" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "setupcl.exe"
Reg.exe add "HKLM\zSYSTEM\Setup\SetupCl\PendingRequest" /f /v "OperationFlags" /t REG_DWORD /d 30987
Reg.exe add "HKLM\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing" /f /v "DeviceInfoGatherSuccessful" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

lol

 

Special? If you meant "Unique":

NanoServer is the same as WinVOS, ContainerOSPlus, etc. "Container" for Enterprises, different to "Windows" for Users.

 

Hyper-V and Enterprises, Pro, or Server are required. The OS can be rebuilt, and X:\Windows is the base in RAM.

 

Q: Do you agree with "One must have good tools in order to do a good job."?

 

There are containertosplus 22000.1 OS versions; no one has been able to rebuild them, but we do it on winpe 28000.1 or 26100.1, 22631.1. That's the strength of the forum; we don't give up.

 

You use winre.wim (in folder C:\Windows\System32\Recovery) to make base.wim, and install.wim extract to winsxs ?

So does each base.wim only make for a specific build ?

Sorry my english is not good.
