    MSMG, could you move the "Remove Cortana and Search Components" to the advanced section of Windows Components removal, 4 -> 3 -> 2 from the Main Menu? It appears many members want Search, and they can disable Cortana via Registry edits. I for one have a command file I run with registry edits I apply to the mounted registry once I mount the install.wim. I personally like Cortana, but many of the homebrews I create contain search, but have Cortana blocked.

    Hello, this is my first post. I need help, after making a modification with this great tool, the resulting iso is greater than the previous one. What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you

    "Contact Support" apps seems to have remained even after telling MSMG to remove all apps. I got no errors and only noticed it in my start menu after installing LTSB (2016).

    6 > 3 = rebuilding the install.wim, it cleansup dism leftovers and deleted stuff.

    6 > 1 is apply changes, save and unmount.
    6 > 3 is rebuild the boot.wim and install.wim

    You can do this manually. Below is command for install.wim, but if you have mounted recovery partition, unmount that first. Then install.wim, then both boot.wims.
    Code:
    dism /unmount-image /MountDir:C:\ToolKit-v7.5\Mount\Install /commit
    Then exit MSMG toolkit. Or build ISO, then exit or whatever.

    Does disabling optional features (like IE, PowerShell 2.0, SMB 1.0) reduce install.wim size? I manually disabled (NOT removed) all optional features, except for NET Framework 4.7 and the resulting install.wim became significantly smaller in size...

    You answered you're own question. You asked if disabling optional features reduces install.wim's size then immediately stated that disabling optional features reduces install.wim's size.

    Hello everyone!
    I have two questions:
    1. Is there a way to concatenate the 32-bit and the 64-bit images into a single ISO using this tool? I have heared about the win maker professional, but i thought about the MSMG Toolkit?
    2. Is there a way to change the default image indexes language from one to another?

    I will answer 1. I do not use MSMG toolkit to merge wims,and I found win maker too confusing, but you can do it the normal way with dism. You can combine as many as you like, even writing a script to combine to wim, then convert to esd. That way you can go do whatever you like as it will take a while. ;)
    Code:
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"E:\Operating_Systems\Windows_10_Installs\RS3\Prox64.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"E:\Operating_Systems\Windows_10_Installs\RS3\install.wim" /Compress:maximum
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"E:\Operating_Systems\Windows_10_Installs\RS3\Prox32.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"E:\Operating_Systems\Windows_10_Installs\RS3\install.wim" /Compress:maximum
    Change paths to suit your file system, and put install.wim into a 32 bit extracted ISO, then rebuild. This ISO can be in the DVD folder of the toolkit, and you can use the toolkit to rebuild the ISO. Make sure there are no ei.cfg files which name a specific edition, as no other choices will show. If you have an ei.cfg file in your iso just delete it.
