MSMG ToolKit

@MSMG,

What happened to the CU integration?

+ question about SettingSync.

 

Is there any rule of integrating Directx9c? The process completes successfully, however when I test the virtual image it is not installed in the control panel.
I downloaded DirectX9c from various sources and it still does the same thing. My .iso I made by uup dump Win10 Pro 21h2

 

Examples:

Code:

set "Name=Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter ^(Server Core Installation^)"
set "Description=This option ^(recommended^) reduces management and servicing by installing only what is needed to run most server roles and applications. It does not include a GUI, but you can fully manage the server locally or remotely with Windows PowerShell or other tools. You can switch to a different installation option later. See \"Windows Server Installation Options.\""
set "DisplayName=Windows Server 2022 Datacenter ^(Desktop Experience^)"
set "DisplayDescription=This option ^(recommended^) reduces management and servicing by installing only what is needed to run most server roles and applications. It does not include a GUI, but you can fully manage the server locally or remotely with Windows PowerShell or other tools. For more details see \"Windows Server Installation Options.\""

Changes:

Code:

rem set "Name=%Name:^=%"
rem set "DisplayName=%DisplayName:^=%"
rem set "Description=%Description:^=%"
rem set "DisplayDescription=%DisplayDescription:^=%"

for %%# in (
   Name
   DisplayName
   Description
   DisplayDescription
) do (
   set "%%#=!%%#:^=!"
)

%WimLibImagex% info "%InstallWim%" %ImageIndexNo% "%Name%" "%Description%" --image-property DISPLAYNAME="%DisplayName%" --image-property DISPLAYDESCRIPTION="%DisplayDescription%" --image-property FLAGS="%Flag%" >nul

This will replace the ^ characters with nothing. That is, it will remove them. But only at the time of application to the image.

 

@marianoblessa,
Remember to backup your "RemovePkgs/AppList.txt" and "Enable/DisableFeaturesLists.txt" (if personalized) or they'll be replaced by empty ones.

 

The problem has been observed since build 22000.376 (KB5008215)
Also, windows10.0-kb5008215-x64.msu could not be integrated using WHD.

 

Hey MSMG, after years of downloading updates of your tool for the sake of archiving, I finally used it with the video instructions you provided by CyberCPU Tech.

It works great. Thanks for keeping your project alive for us.

That's not your fault, in fact you are correct in your observation.
Directx9c does not get integrated correctly.

You will encounter issues when installing software that depends on directx9c, let's take for example autocad 2022: It simply won't install at all, errors out on the first 4%.
This happens because directx9c does not appear to be installed, so the Autocad 2022 installer tries to use it's bundled installer, which fails because directx9c was already integrated.
As directx9c is a prerequisite for Autocad 2022, the installation cannot proceed.
Hopefully @MSMG can fix this.

Cheers.

 

Lately I have been preparing setupcomplete.cmd to install several essential packages like directx9c, vcruntime++, powershell and others.
I am avoiding to integrate into the image to avoid these small problems that are only fixable faster by preparing another ISO.

There is a directx9c package that is shared by abbodi1406.
Try it to see if it fixes the problem.

I removed all components inside RemovePkgsList_W10_LTSC_2021.txt file
After installation of windows 10 , i can not open any .txt file
What should i do to read .txt files ?
Did i remove a component realted to .txt viewer ?
Thanks

 

Notepad is Win32 app.

NotepadApp is W11 InboxApp

Do notepad++ download and associate txt files with it.

 

Does that mean i should not remove Notepad Win32 App ?

 

If you want to keep the native way of associating txt files, you should keep one of the two.
It depends on the Build you are using.
For W10 and W11, just keep the one in the "[6] Remove System Components Menu" options.

In Windows 11 there are both versions. Just remove the one in the "[8] Remove Windows Apps Menu" option.
Or you can perhaps remove the "[6] Remove System Components Menu" option and keep the "[8] Remove Windows Apps Menu" option.
You will have to test it. Once you have tested it, let us know.

Hey guys. Below I have highlighted the code, in Toolkit.cmd v12.1 I already have an item:
if "!MenuChoice!" equ "04" ( if "%C_Calculator%" equ "+" ( set "C_Calculator=-" ) else ( set "C_Calculator=+" ) )
do I need to change it to?
if "!MenuChoice!" equ "04" ( if "%C_CalculatorApp%" equ "+" ( set "C_CalculatorApp=-" ) else ( set "C_CalculatorApp=+" ) )

line above we changed from C_Calculator% to C_CalculatorApp%
hope you understand me. Thanks. I want to make a build but I see a lot of typos and changes, maybe there is already a corrected toolkit.cmd with all the fixes?

 

You have to do this change too.
from

Code:

echo.  [04] %C_Calculator% Calculator App

to

Code:

echo.  [04] %C_CalculatorApp% Calculator App

This Changes only for "[8] Remove Windows Apps Menu". Not for Calculator in "[6] Remove System Components Menu".


EDIT:

I reversed that, at the time of posting here. MSMG understood that there was a need to check this part anyway.

It is exactly as you said. You have to do that part too!
from

Code:

if "!MenuChoice!" equ "04" ( if "%C_Calculator%" equ "+" ( set "C_Calculator=-" ) else ( set "C_Calculator=+" ) )

to

Code:

if "!MenuChoice!" equ "04" ( if "%C_CalculatorApp%" equ "+" ( set "C_CalculatorApp=-" ) else ( set "C_CalculatorApp=+" ) )

 

Not yet!

See my EDIT on the above post.

 

@MIMMO61 I think these days they just redownload themselves(or the store does) and there's not really a convenient way around it(?) Or at least I don't know of one as of now.
