^^ congrats dude , well I already have this same compilation (with small diferences) since 03 november 2016 Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB Build 14393.rs1_release_inmarket.161102-0100 and works like a charm no problems til now still thanks to MSMG of course
Wait what? Are the OP's instructions no longer valid for the Win10 Anniversary Update? edit: nevermind, I misunderstood
Thanks This is the part that has changed It's now 4. Now go to Remove "Press number 4" then choose Remove Metro Apps "Press number 1", Now choose Remove All Metro Apps "Press number 2". I removed everything except (M) Home Group Thanks for the program and instructions. When I ran it on Win10_1607_SingleLang_English_x64.iso (home only) it rebuilt to 3.3GB from 3.99GB but when I ran it on Win10_1607_English_x64.iso and selected WIM # 1 Pro it wouldn't rebuild to a smaller size from 4.07Gb it would become 4.45GB. I tried several times and it just wouldn't re-compress. Just so others know in advance. I then ran it through NTLite to add drivers I backed up using "Double Driver" portable saving only non-MS drivers in a structured folder setup. After it re-compressed the iso it came in at a comfortable 3.69GB. YMMV. For quickly installing some of the more common programs (7Zip, Dropbox, Firefox, Foxit Reader, ImgBurn, etc.) I used ninite (ninite.com) It still had the Cortana in the setup when finishing the install which I just selected the "Not Now" option. Once finished and booted up Cortana was gone anyway. It took a while to make it through the 39 pages. Thanks everyone.
Hello, I had the same experience. I tried to remove all remaining things from the latest en-us 2016 LTSB x86 N version of Windows 10, but the size got bigger. I did not added any extras to the iso, just removed things. What cause this problem? Thank you.
You have to cleanup the dism stuff inside the wim, by exporting the index to a new install.wim (also called rebuild). In MSMG it's option 6 (apply) and next option 3 (Rebuild source wim images) To do it manually (wim>wim): Code: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.finished.wim" /Compress:max /checkintegrity (delete original wim and rename "install.finished.wim" back to "install.wim" Or (wim>esd (more compressed)): Code: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.esd" /Compress:recovery /checkintegrity
agree on the install.esd. Many cases I don't know I have experienced it from the beginning I have used MSMG Toolkit ripping every thing out and in return I get an bigger iso but as I stated personally I don't care it is for an good cause
I don't know what causes it. After removing everything I wanted to I did the 6 > 1 (save changes), then 6 > 3 (rebuild) before running 7 > 1 (create iso) each time so I didn't miss any steps. In any case the extra size is by no means a deal breaker since it will still work just fine.
This has little to do with pending deletions. It's just like the outlook DB. You can delete all of your emails, it will never go down in size. You need to decompress it to recover the space.
I integrated updates, choose option 6 Apply, then option 3, i get the message "Source Is Not Applied, Please Choose Apply Source From Main Menu...". Im hunting for a cleanup option, i found one yesterday but i cant find it now
You first have to unmount/commit before you can rebuild. If there are no pending flags you also could do a resetbase to decrease the size of the wim (i always copy the wim first to be safe).
