MSMG ToolKit

Er, no, I went from 5.2GB to 3.8GB and I stick with WIM-only. I just use the latest beta + CLC GUI and use the Optimize feature. It gets the job done! And why even bother with NetFX35 if there's already that On-Demand package?!?!

 

So it's an esd file with the .wim extension (same compression as standard esd, LZMS).

 

How did you get that much space savings? I've tried using wimlib and I've only ever gotten a few more MB than Dism.

 

Code:

wimlib-imagex export x:\path\install.wim all x:\path\install.esd --check --solid

 

Oh no... LTSB.ISO (yes, the actual LTSB) also has all the same exact Game-crap built into it (DLL handles lock onto Explorer.exe) along with KnownGameList.bin and GameBarPresenceWriter detection, even though it does not have GameDVR...

Maybe, but when I convert to ESD the size is larger and the requirement for a 40GB+ partition does not go away, unlike with WimLib Optimize feature that let's me install the OS onto my 30GB partition.

 

The main advantage in using wimlib to convert to .esd instead of Dism is in time which is significantly smaller and in memory usage that is smaller as well. The resulting file size is only slightly smaller than Dism.

 

Holy crap, this one Russian dude slimmed LTSB to 2GB in size (as in 2GB the size of partition C AFTER the installation!) and it seems to be working fine for both browsing the web and games...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but the search won't allow 3 letter queries, and "sfc fail" uses fail as it's primary keyword.
Will SFC always fail if packages are removed from a Windows 10 source? I just performed a fresh install after going through the previously mentioned "correct" steps, and SFC has multiple failures, some of which seem related to components I removed.

 

And how can I remove the old Paint?

 

Ok I will redo it again and leave Microsoft .Netframework till last

 

I mistaken "9) Integrate the Cumulative Update to update .NET Framework 3.5" as a standalone cumulative update.

 

If you mean classic Paint. It can't be removed

 

when you create a new user, is it built off "Mount\Install\Windows\System32\config\default" or "Mount\Install\Users\Default\ntuser.dat"? in fact whats the difference between the two? how are they utilized? if you look at the dir name, both have 'default' in them.
