    For the record a working edge classic can be re-added after the removal of the stub packages.

    The freshest version should be the one from 1904x.867, speaking of released version.

    The very latest working one should be from build 21301.1010, that IIRC is installable on 1904x w/o modifiing the mums or other hacks..

    I have the cabs of both versions but I forgot to keep the en-US cabs, so I have handy just the it_IT ones.


    Whatever, in 2015 edge was the evil, in 2023 it's just a quick and dirty browser, which is faster than anything else when you need just a simple download.

    So i started integrating it in my recent builds.

    hi,
    I am so glad that the windows update component will be removable in the next version of msmg toolkit,
    this means that I will have no feer of windows installing CUS and distroying my cleane install.
    will simply do a inplace upgrade to the next winblows release when it's been msmgd LOL.
    thank you msmg for this lovly tool and for working on it.

    Obviously EDGE legacy as the main browser is a no go. (lately) I use it as a light browser that start almost istananeusly because many of its components are already loaded by the OS, just like happened in the IE6 days.

    As a main browser just use Vivaldi, there isn't anything like it (although MS keeps copying some of its features in the new "EDGium"), give it a try.

    hi there,
    @MSMG
    would it be possible to have a all folder in the drivers folder?
    where drivers could be placed that you wish to go in to both the windows pe image and the install.wim image?
    it would make adding drivers and such easia.
    i'm not sure how hard it would be for you to add this, but I would be greatful if you would considder this.

    in the toolkit folder you will find a folder named bin.
    in that folder is another folder named lists.
    look in there.
    toolkit helper templates.
    maybe the bin folder should be renamed?
    I mean what do you think about when some one talks about your bins?
    trash write?

    ask @MSMG if there is away for toolkit helper.exe to output a list of all packages it supports.
    if there is, then we would be greatful.
    @MSMG
    would it be possible to have a menu item to export a list of packages that toolkit helper supports from within the menu?
    in the same way your template lists has?
    would help alot, would also mean that you would not have to keep updateing your template lists.

    I already asked MSMG in the past but did not get any response.

  15. From my experience:
    1. the more number of the edition, the more updates MS gives, the more problems and bugs u will get:rastabanana:
    2. u will get more headache,
    3. spend more times to solve the problem by asking, complaining, and...
    4. downloading the newest edition which will give u more problems and bugs, and then u will get more headache...
    5. Finally u will start over again from number 3

    U will get berak berak :rastabanana::rastabanana::rastabanana:

    MSMG, removing Windows Update, breaks the manual installation of drivers through the Device Manager!!! But it does not violate the installation of the Windows updates themselves (.cab) manually via the command line.

    p. s. Drivers are not installed even through Driver Genius offline installer!

    Does that also impact context menu install through .inf files via this reg hack?

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs]
    @="Install"
    "HasLUAShield"=""

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs\Command]
    @="cmd /k dism /online /add-package /packagepath:\"%1\""

    If using just ToolKitHelper.exe you can directly point the mount location to the mounted VHD drive.

    Will explore the option of Toolkit supporting mounted VHD images as source.

    The Toolkit provides two methods to remove the components:

    1) The Traditional DISM method, you can get the package list by using the command

    Code:
    Dir <Image-Mount-Folder-Path>\Windows\Servicing\Packages\*.mum
    
    2) The Toolkit's Component Removal Engine (ToolKitHelper.exe), you can get the package list by using the command

    Code:
    ToolKitHelper.exe <Image-Mount-Folder-Path> /?
    
    The Templates for Apps, Features and Packages list for both the above methods can be found inside Toolkit's <Bin\Lists> folder
