I wonder why it is taking MS so long to change MCT to the refreshed release? I checked yesterday and it was still sending out the March (original) release.
The Upgrade Assistant downloads the 15063.413 June 2017 Refresh esd's and the esd's can simply be used by @abbodi1406's ESD>ISO v29 tool https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-esds-repository.59082/page-72#post-1354548
Good point. The reason I was asking specifically about MCT is that I want to create a dual architecture ISO and see if will fit on a 8GB flash drive. The March release barely fit with only 30MB unused space left. I have a feeling I will to have to move to a 16GB flash drive very soon even if MS cleans up its act. The final size on these releases is becoming ridiculous.
There is a little difference in the winre.wims in every index, that will add up so the multiarchitecture iso will be huge (9.9GB on my initial tests). @adguard's new decrypt multi release tool fixes it automatically for you, @abbodi1406's tool keeps it standard, you will have to manually paste the same winre.wim in all indexes. But because there already is a new CU i always use @abbodi1406's W10UI script to integrate the updates the winre.wim problem is also solved, the script copies the same winre.wim to all indexes.

https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1355494/ Until Microsoft change this, there's a way you can check or verify products direct from MSDN but you won't be able to download them.
Interesting. Now that would fit nicely on a 8GB flash drive. I have never used MSMG Toolkit. Can you explain what I need and what steps are involved to mount all indexes?
You need to put the same winre.wim and replace the original one in all indexes, i was just lazy and let MSMG Toolkit do it You would achieve the same thing when you'd use @abbodi1406's W10UI_2.1 and let it update the wims with the latest CU.
I don't like these kind of isos. I prefer to have the base iso 15063.0 instead of a ISO with 15063.413. But thanks for upload them
My multi architecture ISO (15063.413) came in at 6.47GB not as small as yours (5.86GB), but it will fit on a 8GB flash drive. I could not get @abbodi1406's W10UL_2.1 to work on the multi architecture ISO I made using @abbodi1406's ESD>ISO v29 tool. I used @adguard's new decrypt multi release tool to convert each ESD separately and then I pasted the results into a multi architecture ISO template using UltraISO. Thanks for the help. Note: I found that when using @adguard's new decrypt multi release if you first choose option 5 to view ESD and then continue and choose either option 1 or 2 you will not see the option to economy the ISO. I had to close and reopen the tool and choose either option 1 or 2 first to see economy the ISO option. And by the way the multi architecture ISO (with wims) I made using @abbodi1406's ESD>ISO v29 tool was over 11GB. How is that for size? Just goes to show that using install.wims and different winre.wims really does add to the size of the ISO.
