MSMG ToolKit

Tutorial for online Upgrade scenarios

 

MSMG, I need to leave only File Explorer, Internet Explorer, etc. on the system; basically making it work only with Win32 applications. I need your advice, what can't be cut out at all?

p.s
On my own volition, I would cut out the whole thing, but I don't know what the system's behaviour would be.

 

I have excluded from deletion

Code:

InternetExplorer
AccountsControl
Calculator
Wordpad
WindowsBackup
WindowsFirewall
OOBENetworkCaptivePortal
OOBENetworkConnectionFlow

 

MSMG, I meant turn it into Windows 7 or something similar.

 

Hello. Did I understand correctly that Win 11 Boot And Upgrade FiX KiT v2.0 allows you to prepare an ISO image with the possibility of further updates on the old hardware? (sorry my english).

 

On 22000.xxx normal hotfixes don't check for the requirements (MSFT can change that at anytime but not expected to happen).

Feature Updates aka full upgrades need attention, when by WU just renaming/replacing/removing the existing appraiserres,dll in the bt~sources folder is enough, by ISO you can replace the existing appraiserres.dll with the one from a 15063 aka 1703 ISO, probably removing and renaming should work too but i did not test those scenarios.

For Inplace Upgrade I just added a command to Rename.

Code:

       reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassCPUCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
       reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassRAMCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
       reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassSecureBootCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
       reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassStorageCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
       reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassTPMCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1

       echo.
       echo.Un-Mounting Image Registry...
       call :UnMountImageRegistry

       echo.
       echo.
       echo.##### Bypass Hardware Requisites Checking for InPlace Upgrade #################
       rem call :RemoveFile "%DVD%\sources\appraiserres.dll"
       echo.Renaming from: "%DVD%\sources\appraiserres.dll"
       echo.           to: "appraiserres.dll.BKP"
       if exist "%DVD%\sources\appraiserres.dll" ren "%DVD%\sources\appraiserres.dll" "appraiserres.dll.BKP"
       echo.

 

I did the tests by renaming. Done an InPlace Upgrade from the Build 22000.194 to Build 22463. It worked right. Only then, I added it to Custom Toolkit. I thought it was interesting to keep the BKP there for any eventuality.

 

The command below, disable all profile Windows Firewall

Code:

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

 

Still facing same issues , even with latest Toolkit.cmd

 

Open Toolkit.cmd with Notepad and replace all:
from

Code:

Windows6.1-KB5001027

to

Code:

Windows8.1-KB5001027

So you should look for this line and change again to how it was previously.
from

Code:

call :AddPackage "%InstallMount%\%%i", "%EdgeChromium%\Windows8.1-KB5001027-%ImageArchitecture%.cab"

to

Code:

call :AddPackage "%InstallMount%\%%i", "%EdgeChromium%\Windows6.1-KB5001027-%ImageArchitecture%.cab"

Take the test and report to us.

Sent an 2021-10-01 New Custom Toolkit updated file attached in the link above.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-10-01

Merged made with the Official Toolkit 11.8 from 2021-09-17 to 2021-09-29.

1. Since my code writing method with the idea of reducing lines was making complicated the merge tasks. As the code was drowned in complications, difficult to readability for other devs. I decided to twist my code, in the sense of wiping. Expanded parts of the code that were in just one line for multiple lines in order to improve the reading of it. Mainly in the "for (loop) command thanks to a tip learned in the @abbodi1406 scripts.
And, of course learning every day with @MSMG. In addition to the solutions brought in the Toolkit script, he always answers some people asks that brings new doubts and new learning.

2. In Inbox Apps:
2.1. A detail was modified to indicate what is not present in the packs, before continuing with inboxapps integration.
2.2. Fixed - A problem created by custom toolkit modifications by implementing the multi-selection system of inboxapps that repeated the final optimization that should be once for each index, but was repeating by the amount of apps selected times the quantity of indexes. As much as the whole process was automatic, this caused a very accentuated delay.

3. Added - Condition for integration of Sun Valley Icons Skin Pack only for Builds below 21348.

4. Some minor code upgrade on Tweaks and...
4.1. Added - Simple Bypass Hardware Requisites Checking for InPlace Upgrade.

5. WMP Skin for x64 now apply in WMP Program Files(x86) folder too.

6. Adicionada uma opção de Custom PreSet para "Windows 7 Components Experience Edition" baseada na lista de componentes a serem mantido que o MSMG disponibilizou.

7. Fixed Edge Chromium Integration for w81.

OBS: Supplementary information for Devs: After the implementation of Windows 11 support I found some bugs related to the use of subsequent conditions of "not equal" associated with the use of "else" in the same block (NEQ NEQ ELSE). It does not work.
Ex: The use (neq w10 neq w11) so that a block block could work for both W7 and W81 and an "else" for when w10 or w11, but this does not work:

In this case, what comes in the else block is completely ignored not being executed. I suppose a conflict occurs.

Code:

       if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w10" if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w11" (
           echo.Performing Tasks for w7 or w81...
       ) else (
           echo.Performing Tasks for w10 or w11...
       )
       

To correct this, the possible way is just as below.

Code:

       if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w10" if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w11" (
           echo.Performing Tasks for w7 or w81...
       )
       if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w7" if "%SelectedSourceOS%" neq "w81" (
           echo.Performing Tasks for w10 or w11...
       )
       

8. VirtualCreate_ImageIndexEditions.zip (2021-09-20 updated with @abbodi1406 "uup-converter-wimlib-72u"

Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-08-25

Merge made with the fourth version of the Official Toolkit 11.7 on the day 2021-08-23.

1. Fixed "Sun Valley Icons Skin" integration:
* for w7 and w81, thnks to @Bira suggestion.
* for w10 build 18362 by changing geq "18363" to geq "18362".
* Added "Windows Photo Viewer Skin" and "Icons Skin" in the Custom Integrate for W7 and W81 menu.
NOTE: "Windows Media Player Skin" break Windows Media Player for W7 and W81.
Thnks by tests made by @Bira.

2. Added the condition to Integrate Windows Portable Devices
:: Checking whether exists N Editions supported for Windows Portable Devices Integration are selected as source.
If only non-N editions are selected, the following message will be displayed:

3. VirtualCreate_ImageIndexEditions.zip (2021-08-24 updated with @abbodi1406 "uup-converter-wimlib-69"

Thnks!

 

In my experience I can't make an image less than 4.2 gb, and I've tried deleting almost everything! How do others do Super Lite?

p.s
This question has to do with the fact that the system image becomes mammoth with each release.

 

Same here. My last good ISO is sitting at 3.8GB. Before I remember one option to convert the WIM image to ESD and have one LTSC 17763.1 at 2.6GB. It saved a lot of space.
