I want to use DISM lists to remove components from 23H2. Can someone send me RemoveAppsList and RemovePkgsList that includes all possible features to uninstall, cause the old ones provided in toolkit doesn't include new features of 23H2 like Microsoft Copilot.
How are the tpk and reg files created for toolkit packs? I want to update the .net6 pack in my image. 6.0.16 is a year old, .29 is current toolkit doesn't support.net8 so only option is to install manually after OS is installed?
Outdated. Yes, I have been using this method for a long time. Only win32calc and Windows Legacy Games, I implement in tpk format.
What method is that? Having to manually install the latest version on every PC from time to time? That is so 90's I have 12 PCs to maintain. That's a PITA. Plus, I end up with two versions of v6; v6.0.16 and whatever version I manually install. So then, there is no way to integrate the latest .net6 into the image?
Installing after install. Only if you learn how to make the TPKs. I use my script that I run from the start menu "startup" folder. It only works for installations via USB device with the extracted ISO. Using it at full ISO, as is the case with ventoy, can be done, but I didn't make it work that way. Read the Readme inside the attached package. The only script that goes into the start menu "startup" folder is "StartMenu_SetupComplete.cmd". Every else goes to USB device. You can manually put the script there when you mount your indexes. "%InstallMount%\1\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\StartMenu_SetupComplete.cmd"
Scripting it is not the issue. I've already done that because I couldn't find or create a tpk file for anything later than 6.0.16 - Was hoping there was a way to integrate the latest .net6 into the image. I guess I need to rebuild the image without integrating 6.0.16 with the toolkit, otherwise I end up with two different v6 installations.
I thought a .tpk is a .wim file with extention changed? open a .tpk file and you will find indexes should be one index. i'm guessing here but the app is installed the main directory of the app is captured in to a .wim file. a reg file is gennerated which containes the app's settings etc? weather that be by reg from app while the installer installes the app? or the reg settings are manually exported. i'm guessing a seperate index is created in the same .tpk for the appdata contence and for the start menu shortcuts? not sure on this last part.

Doing this through a VM with a clean installation. It is possible to create a tpk with multiple installations, but I found creating TPKs very complicated. When you can simply place the updated packages inside the USB stick. And, by having updates to these packages, you avoid having to create updated ISOs for this reason. By the way, IMCK was launched yesterday - Thread links and PixelDrain link in my signature. If you are going to use it, there is a simple detail for you to be aware of. All lists available in IMCK are extracted after the first initialization. So after reaching the main menu, close IMCK and edit IMCK.ini which will now be available. Inside "IMCK.ini" there is all the information about each option available. All of them commented with "#". I don't know that your text reader will read the number of Hashtags. But when there is only one, it means that this is one of the options that is commented with a different value. You will only need to do this once. It may seem like a bit of work, but you won't have to worry about that in the next versions, as there will be no replacement of your personalized lists in the future. If any list is updated, you will be notified. This way, staff can perform BKP on their current list, and extract the new model to make changes.
Hello. What a pity that MSMG Toolkit is not developed anymore, it was a great and very simple tool. The author's work will always be unforgetable! Maybe Hassan will find a little bit of time to prepare the next version, it was a long time since september 10th, 2023.
I've changed my postinstall script to install latest 4.8.1 CU and the latest 6.x.x desktop runtime.... Rebuilt the image without .net6
Sorrry to pull up an old thread, but I was just wondering, since you integrated codecs both with and without a license, is there any functional difference between the two? If I integrate codecs after installation of Windows, should I transfer the licenses from toolkits bin\applicense and use them or is it okay if I just use /skiplicense? Codecs I'm going to be integrating are AV1VideoExtension, HEIFImageExtension, HEVCVideoExtension, MPEG2VideoExtension, RawImageExtension, VP9VideoExtensions, WebMediaExtensions and WebpImageExtension. I have already integrated both x64 and x86 versions of VCLibs.140.00, but without licenses as I couldn't find one for them.
Not that I can tell. Every piece of media I have works in either scenario with any app I play it with. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can confirm, but I also tried installing codecs after Windows install with and without the licenses. Everything seems to work fine either way I did it. One would think there is a reason the license files exist, I just don't know what that reason is.Nothing breaks without using them If you're concerned, perhaps always install with the license file, if you have one.
Now that all the apps are AppxBundle and not seperate x64 and x86 packages, can I still use x64 license for AppxBundle installation or do I need a new one for just the bundle? I've noticed that the license file in bin\applicense for WebMediaExtensions is called "Microsoft.WebMediaExtensions_8wekyb3d8bbwe.xml" and does not have x64 in it's name, whilst WebpImageExtension has a different license for all three editions, x64, x86 and arm64. EDIT: @Yanta would you mind helping me out here again? Not sure if I can keep using x64 license with AppxPackageBundle that contains both x64 and x86 instead of just plain x64 AppxPackage or if I should wait till MSMG has updated all packages, toolkit and licenses?
Can you Help me? Where Do I Get the Missing .cab file? I want to Add the Spanish Mexico Language (es-MX) to Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC version 24H2
@ARCIGA Please see: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-1239#post-1777916 Pay attention to items #7 and #8.
In case MSMG can no longer return. He didn't answer for almost four months. Is there somewhere the source of the project? So that this project can continue with the new versions of windows.
It wont continue without msmg nor is toolkit an open source. This is a big project and even if someone could actually take over, would need spend lots of time working on it for free. hopefully MSMG will be back one day soon
