    Yes, I use WinSxSv1 to capture edition specific but first I use PureSXS so that it takes the files and then capture it with WinSxSv1..

    But my question is how can I get the package in esd instead of a .cab file? The cab file is generated by WinSxSv1..

    Just the same. The ESD that I got was the result of extracting cab into a folder,
    then I compressed it using wim-lib.exe after getting the essence of the package.
    Code:
    wimlib-imagex.exe append "somefolder" resultname.esd --create --compress=LZMS --check --solid "Package Name" "Package Description"

    Is there a different tool named "WinSxSv1". Forum search returns nothing. Probably someone renamed "Sxsv1"? Can you share it. I will check.

    Ok, I understand.

    I have here some Starter 15063.0 packages from UUP ISO.

    What I did was use PureSxS to get the necessary files from StarterEdition (because the UUP had the x86/x64 files combined) so PureSxS takes the necessary files, I finish using PureSxS and then capture them with WinSxSv1 (SxSv1 for those not understand).

    Now I will extract Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-Starter-Package-x86-10.0.15063.0.cab to convert it to ESD, since I see that the file is big 424MB.

    I'm also getting this error, but I'm not really sure if I'm doing the procedure right. I'm using the script (Bedi) provided by the user Javac75 in this thread. The ISO was downloaded using UUPDump, Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.1000, also tried 26100.2152), I moved the install.wim to the Bedi root folder, ran the script with no errors, moved the wim back to the original folder and built the ISO using the following(replacing ISONAME of course):
    oscdimg.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"ISONAME\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"ISONAME\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -m -u2 -lvolume_label ISONAME ISONAME.iso​
    I'd appreciate some guidance, ideally a comprehensible guide aimed at beginners, as I've never done this before. Tried lurking the thread a bit but found no working answers to my issue.
    I'd try doing everything myself but downloading and building images then installing them using vmware takes a lot of time (hours+) in my machine...

    you are using builds with integrated updates..

    use configure uup dump, change the value of addupdates=0 to get only one iso version 26100.1

    all builds start from their initial version:

    19041.1, 22000.1, 22621.1, 26100.1, using builds with updates will cause problems.

    In the FAQ questions I will add about this kind of requirements, perhaps this way it will be better understood. ;)

    Oh... 26100.1 is a different build than 26100.1000........... Well, I guess we've found the issue... I'll take a break then in a few hours check if it works fine with the 26100.1 you linked.
    Thanks again.

    How to remove Microsoft Edge in an Install.wim?
    (This is currently applicable to Windows 11 22H2/23H2/24H2)

    Simply using these commands in dism: (Credits to @alanfox2000)
    /Remove-Edge - Removes Edge from image. (Edge Browser and Edge WebView)
    /Remove-EdgeBrowser - Removes Edge browser from image. (Recommended)
    /Remove-EdgeWebView - Removes Edge WebView from image.
    Taken from this thread: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-microsoft-edge.79237/page-149#post-1816821

    You can use this script I created to learn and good to be able to use in your builds. ;)
