[GUIDE] [DISCUSSION] Windows Editions Reconstructions

It's not available in the image.

 

I downloaded it to make sure, it is fine.

 

nevermind. i made it

waiting for gailium 20348 tool

 

No 26100.1 compatible build. Weird.

 

Where do I download the LCU and SSU updates? The conversion script on OP is no longer available.

 

Let Client and Server help each other.

 

I know, that’s why I’m asking these questions.

 

I'd tried to construct it without that Microsoft Insider package, it worked, yes, but it won't boot.

 

pp03 is waiting for gailium's 20348.1 script.

Me too.

 

I would start if an image that is known to boot like WinPE, ValidationOS, or the Nano Server 2016 because Windows Containers do not exactly boot, it is another story.

 

I don't understand what "I would start" meant.

Did you mean:
If an image that is known to boot like WinPE, ValidationOS, or the Nano Server 2016, you would start to use any one of them to reconstruct?

If yes, I had stated that the target image been reconstructed with any of them won't boot, if missing Microsoft Insider Package.

 

Can you share 20348's EnterpriseS's WinSXS files needed for reconstruction of Server + Client 2 in 1?
Even with WinExp and PureSXS I still can't figure out which files to extract >_<

 

It is located in gailium119's 20348.1.210507-1500.FE_RELEASE_CLIENT_SERVER_ALLEDITIONS_X64FRE_ZH-CN.ISO.

@xinso

This image already has a Windows edition installed. There cannot be more than one installed Windows edition in an image.

I can't seem to have both versions installed at the same time

How can I make it so it installs Pro on top of ServerDatacenter edition? To have both editions at once?

Spoiler: 1.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<servicing>
<package action="install">
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-ProfessionalEdition" version="10.0.20348.1" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" />
<source location="Microsoft-Windows-ProfessionalEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.20348.1.mum" />
</package>
</servicing>
</unattend>

 

After SXSEXP all folders will be empty and there will be no *.cat and *.mum
At least I don't know how to make SXSEXP automatically copy the rest of the files

You have to copy decompressed *.manifest back with replacement and then pureSxS

SXSEXP only decompressed *.manifest - it does this perfectly.

I have no doubt that you are aware of this, but for newcomers to the topic this is an important point.and can be confusing

 

Windows, Client and Server must be seperated.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
    <servicing>
        <package action="install">
            <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-ProfessionalEdition" version="10.0.20348.1" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" />
<source location="Microsoft-Windows-ProfessionalEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.20348.1.mum" />
        </package>
        <package action="remove">
            <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-ServerDatacenterEdition" version="10.0.20348.1" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" />
        </package>
    </servicing>
</unattend>

 

[Step 3-1]
All components from those three mentioned folders should be in WinSxS folder.

[Step -3-2]
Expand the WinSxS folder to another folder, e.g. expanded.

[Step 3-3]
Xcopy expanded folder back to WinSxS.

 

I want both ServerDatacenterEdition and ProfessionalEdition to be installed at same time so I can install CU updates.

Server edition got erased even when using the 1.xml you sent... only ServerRdshEdition got left... I've spent all day tinkering with this stuff that I got a terrible headache. I'll just wait for gailium119 script >_<
