Have someone ever succeeded in integrating AV1VideoExtension, MPEG2VideoExtension or HEVCVideoExtension using the Toolkit? By success I mean actually seeing these packages with the Get-AppxPackage command on the installed system. Toolkit always says that "Operation completed successfully", but these packages never really install. I suppose this is due to lack of correct AppLicense files for them. Wasted too much time figuring this out. Sadly there is no clear information about this.
Works fine for me using the integrate inbox apps option in the toolkit; dism /online /get-provisionedappxpackages shows the following on my live system; Spoiler: inbox apps C:\Users\Tanya>dism /online /get-provisionedappxpackages Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.19041.844 Image Version: 10.0.19044.3208 Getting the list of app packages (.appx or .appxbundle) in this image...

A note though, the files available on adguard are now bit neutral and are now appxbundle. These are "provisioned Appx packages"
Would it be possible for us end-users to have some reference to dependencies when removing/preserving packages from lists? I'd like to keep Store, Update and a working start menu (For that initial cmd > sfc /scannow + dism and finding OpenShell to replace it). I know it lists some dependencies in the gui, but reconciling them to the Toolkit names is not ideal. Also maybe some breakage warning, in reference to: Just something to consider, i know it's work and nobody likes that Ty
from 12.0 to 13.4 they are all in the current repositories, inside the "archive" folder. I believe you won't need any pre-13.3. But which build do you want to work on? I had specifically requested some very old ones to develop something into a script.
Thanks for your answer! But I can only see MPEG2VideoExtension in your system from my list in question. Have you chosen not to integrate AV1VideoExtension and HEVCVideoExtension, or it just failed to install?
The idea was just to show you that integration via the toolkit works. I do have HEVC installed, I had just cut off part of the list as I have other apps installed. With the exception of AV1 which I have not installed.

Well, as far as I can remember, I could never successfully integrate HEVCVideoExtension into WIndows 10 LTSC using the various Toolkit versions. Not so sure about MPEG2 and AV1, because HEVCVideoExtension is much more important for me, as iPhone *.heic images simply won't display without it. If someone is able to integrate it, I wonder, what is the right way to succeed. Does it depend on WIndows image version, some Toolkit settings, or it is just random luck?
@Yanta, he didn't implement the fixes I submitted that day. That's why it works for you. You have made some code changes. We don't know which Toolkit.cmd he's using. It could be the one in the 7z package, or the testing one. @GreenGremlin follow the changes: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-1304#post-1799855 Replace it in the toolkit.cmd code.
I did and this won't help. I even checked that ridiculously large DISM log. The integration process itself goes OK, and there are no errors logged there. But this app is not present after installing and booting the system. I repeat, in my experience HEVCVideoExtension always failed to integrate, using previous Toolkit versions, even before MS moved its apps to AppxBundle.
@ GreenGremlin. Speaking of "fails to integrate", has anyone been successful in merging any of the preconfigured tweaks, like classic context menu for Windows 11 with MSMG Toolkit, or knows of a way to integrate any registry script automatically after autounattend.xml is executed but before the user desktop appears? I have resorted to manually launching a batch file after the desktop appears but there must be a better solution.
Are you able to install the HEVCVideoExtension manually after installing windows? just curious as I was hoping to get that working even if integration for it isn't on LTSC. Thanks
Fixes in Build 22631.2265: Taskbar, System Tray, File Explorer Just wait for a new build of MSMG Toolkit
Yes, you can use command like this: Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath .\Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension_### -SkipLicense It will work even using -SkipLicense.
