    No, i explicitly mention at the OP and readme, NO Enterprise win 7 ISO needed, all is done from starter, on x64 and x86.

    Using the MSDN ultimate version solves the upgrade error 50.
    Explicitly using /Temp=D:\Mount in your SiMPLiX.bat solves the error 87 in Simplix Pack.

    I don't set a mount point anywhere else in your scripts, I'm not really sure where I would do this to be honest.

    I have some questions.
    Should I use the /Optimize option in the simplix pack command line or are your scripts optimising all wims?

    I think your script inserts drivers into WinRe and install. Doesn't using the NVMe switch in the simplix pack reinsert the same NVme drivers that your script just inserted?

    During the script run I see:
    Code:
    Committing: [C:\AiO_Mount]...
    
    This occurs after:
    Code:
    Starting to apply edition-specific settings...
    
    I have a very customised C:\ drive as my system drive and it is kept small deliberately.
    Can the AiO_Mount mount point be changed?
    If I wanted to change where this image is mounted to where would I do this?
    Is it possible for all image mounts to be in a subfolder of your script folder by default?

    Thanks again for a great script.

    When I test the resulting ISO I get the following installation error:
    Code:
    Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software Licence Terms.
    
    I'm guessing it's because I'm using a localised en-GB windows 10 LTSB?
    I'll try to get a hold of the en-US LTSB Windows 10 and try again tomorrow and report back.

    I will see if i can code it that way, it asks for the desired mount folder, as soon as i get the code implemented for running simplix from the main cmd and not in a separate bat file, someone send me some code for it, but due to the pandemic atm, i can't set my head to it.

    I would like to either chose where mount points occur OR ensure all mount points are self contained in a sub folder of the SimplixAIO folder.
    I want to avoid any mounts points being made in C:\ drive.
    ie.
    Code:
    Committing: [C:\AiO_Mount]...
    
    Should never occur if possible.

    I will try to test your scripts tomorrow.
    Thanks for your great work
    Stay safe and well.

    fr_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677299.iso

    Working with no problems.

    Request: add ability to import a registry file to the mounted image, using a load hive mapping scheme like MSMG

    eg: (pseudo code, cmd scripting is not my strong point)
    Code:
     reg load HKLM\TK_DEFAULT "%~dp0mountdir\(arch)\Windows\System32\config\default" >nul
     reg load HKLM\TK_NTUSER "%~dp0mountdir\(arch)\Users\Default\ntuser.dat" >nul
     reg load HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE "%~dp0mountdir\(arch)\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE" >nul
     reg load HKLM\TK_SYSTEM "%~dp0mountdir\(arch)\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM" >nul
    
    for each registryfile in registrydir do
       "%~dp0Bin\%HostArchitecture%nsudo.exe" -U:T -P:E reg import "%~dp0Registry\registryfile.reg" >nul
    next
    
    nsudo.exe should ensure all registry keys can be manipulated.

    Not going to happen, the tools is just a bunch of commandlines i used to run manually, only to create an updated ISO based on SiMPLiX updatepack with the basic options to integrate drivers and ms dart.

    Uh, what a bad timing. Had just almost finished a run. Need to start over now with the new addons.
