UUPdump, I think and hope, will always be available in one way or another, so I think the issue wouldn't be the fact of being able to use the local server. I think his proposal is good. You can always count on a direct ISO from MS for download. Now, in the case of UUPdump, when it is under maintenance, if the user does not know this site as a resource to build an ISO with downloads of the parts directly from MS, and does not have a .1 available, that user will not be able to use the Toolkit due to lack of support in an ISO downloaded from MS. For someone new to the Toolkit, it is more intuitive for that person to get an ISO already downloaded from MS, and want to come and use the Toolkit.
hi @inTerActionVRI I use openshel as my startmenu replacement. far better than the native start menu in my book.
My main concern is that all monthly refreshed source ISO images contains the SFC ghost error and the only way to fix it is by running the sfc /scannow command once. That's why I only download the base ISO(say 19041.1) from UUP dump and download latest updates from below https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...h1-22h2-vb_release.80763/page-16#post-1571109
sure you've got the sfc errors, but there's a plus for using media from msft directly. 1. longer times between releaces of media, this gives msmg more time to debug and what have you gain new components, 2. simpler for the end user to get the iso. not sure about 2.
If I'm not wrong you can remove components from monthly refreshed source ISO(say, 19045.3324) but you can't integrated Windows Language Packs/ Drivers/ Features, etc if you follow MSMG ToolKit's Readme.txt
Huge thanks! Any chance of moving away from NSudo? It requires Debug privilege/permission, which many disable to prevent Mimikatz attacks.
@MSMG, I found this detail that could be a potential problem. The finding of the variable "%ImageDefaultLanguage%" with the Windows version "~10.0" in package names ends up forming a parameter output variable in the function that looks like this: "%ImageDefaultLanguage%~10.0." I haven't tested it to be sure if it will cause any damage. But since this was visible, it can be worked around with this: %ImageDefaultLanguage%*10.0. %ImageDefaultLanguage%*11.0. (in the future... who knows?) %ImageDefaultLanguage%*12.0. (in the future... who knows?) So since %~1 is a parameter output. If nothing is passed to it, it will be represented as empty. The solution would be to check each occurrence of: %~10.0. and replace with: %*10.0. EDIT: hehehe %* is the output of all parameters. I don't know how to improve this. It is tricky. Leave it alone. But keep this in mind in case you need to do something about it. If anyone has any ideas...
@MSMG , In Toolkit 13.6 line 27: echo.Current Tooolkit directory contains spaces in its path. it should be echo.Current Toolkit directory contains spaces in its path.
