@MSMG - I just need a more compacted Win 10 VHD: * For use as a iDevice Backup toolkit which means: * Apple iTunes + iCloud and * Maybe iMazing For making local backups. But it needs to be "working" in terms of .NET etc whatever is needed for Apple What SECTIONS would SURELY be the safest to remove using MSMG without issue and which might be in GRAY areas?
Is there a how to for this method? How often do you guys do this method? Is there a way to "semi script" it so that doing it maybe once in a while is easier to repeat everytime? This method is not same as the above mentioned Custom ISO method? Please do share links to both methods / pros vs cons?
Modify your ISO with the Toolkit and then run the ISO on your system and follow the instructions. It's actually pretty easy. I do it whenever the Toolkit is updated to work with the newest ISO's.
@MSMG When integrating visual c++ runtimes, the toolkit is still looking for v2019 instead of v2022. Renaming the file in the VCRuntime folder lets integration run successfully.
I haven't tried Apple software's with components removed custom image created with Toolkit. You can try removing all but Multimedia, System components and test the image. Then you can try removing selected components from Multimedia and System components and see if it works.
Question for the experts. Why am I not integrating this registry key with toolkit? Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX90nv6nhay5n6a98fnetv7tpk64pp35es\Application] "AppUserModelID"="-"
Yes the VC Runtime 2019 Pack has been replaced with 2022, the next Toolkit version will work without issue.
Is that reg key is deleting or assigning the subkey value? if it's deleting the subkey value then the correct syntax is Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX90nv6nhay5n6a98fnetv7tpk64pp35es\Application] "AppUserModelID"=-
This key cleans up the trash after the trashmongers.... I had to look for a solution myself. It was nowhere to be found.
@MSMG How does this affect my removal of XboxApp, which is listed in the below RemovePkgsList.txt? Should I add these to the list?
