"Manually performed a cleanup image" Not seeing that option in the Toolkit. You do the cleanup from within Windows after you install it? I was thinking there was a cleanup command in the MSMG Toolkit I may have missed to clean the working images before iso creation. I still don't understand why my resulting Windows install from the "stripped" iso was so huge. More than 10 gigabytes larger than usual.
As i said, after enabling dotnetfx3 not any cleanup can be performed, but after installation, there is no pending flag set anymore, all is now "installed" and a cleanup (see my second screenshot for the command) can be performed again.
Ahah! "WHD updates". I had put the Aug 8 KB4034674 15063.540 cumulative update in "C:\ToolKit-v7.6\Updates\w10\longassname.msu" and used, probably the wrong updates option. Trying it again from "C:\ToolKit-v7.6\Packs\WHD\w10\x64\Cumulative\longassname.msu" with the WHD updates option. We shall see..... Here's what I did. Now to test the install... Spoiler *note* starting with install.wim 3.81gb remove default metro apps: A 3d builder D calendar and mail E camera G feedback hub etc. etc... remove metro apps association remove windows components: D onedrive E ms telemetry services etc. etc... remove windows components - advanced: E cortana and search F windows defender K system restore integrate - windows drivers to install image: very small realtek network driver Apply and save to source images *note* install.wim now 4.18gb tools - cleanup wim image *note* install.wim grew to 4.21gb ...the fu......? integrate features: K directx 9.0c A .Net 3.5 integrate whd update pack: 1703 Aug 8 KB4034674 15063.540 Apply and save *note* install.wim 5.08gb makes a 5.82gb ISO
I can't remember what the numbers were, but I think I did. There was something about "Apply and Save" and I went to the Tools - Image Management? was it? Then "Cleaned" it. The image just got bigger. Anyway, I installed with my last attempt and came out with a 15 GB install, that reduced to 9.5 GB after some of the usual configuring and a few reboots. Then ran "Dism /online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup" and it it down to 8.80 GB. Very nice! So as long as I don't find that I've created a buggy mess down the road a bit, it's looking great now. No System Restore! No Defender! No Cortana! Only a few "apps" that I may actually use. Very cool.
I checked the script code to see what registry tweaks you added and a handful of those entries are no longer applicable to 1607 or 1703 and some of the firewall rules no longer apply, either. I can actually supply a huge list of offline registry hive tweaks that are applicable to 1607-1703 that I created using Microsoft's ADMX software for my own personal scripts. So if you need them, let me know.
Trying to use the 7.6 on en_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x64_dvd_9059483.iso returns temp/imageinfo.txt the system cannot find the path specified Any ideas guys?
if want update the appxs package i just move all the files i download from folder common and rs1 in apps folder or i need move .xml files in AppsAssociationXML folders and the packages in apps folder ??? i have try all ways and i get error 2 ..:/
Place the iso in the iso folder and extract it from within the toolkit options, or much easier, just use WinRar/7zip and extract the iso to the DVD folder. Then point it at that when looking for a source. Keep the ISO somewhere for backup, you're probably going to go through this routine several times before you get it right...well, I did anyway. And I still haven't gotten it right. I keep removing less and less and still get weird errors in event viewer about services failing, etc. Removing Telemetry causes this. Another note: If you try to integrate "KB4034661" build 14393.1613 into it, good luck. I got nothing but DISM errors when I tried (most likely user error, but I tried everything I could think of). I finally just figured a month from now there will just be another 1+ gig update, so why bother.
With Win 10s Cumulative Updates integration became kinda futile . The CU you intgegrate will become superseded very soon. In opposite to Win 7/8.1 on Win 10 there's no after-install-upgrade-orgy, only A Servicing Stack update, latest CU and security patches for Flash and .NET.
@ slave77 yep you are correct I agree 1000% good times of W7 & W8.1 now is inviable integrating something lol
I Can confirm this, it integrates just fine and have had no issues, either with the toolkit or post install. Cheers.
Hey guys, Sorry if this topic has been discussed before (searching the forum didn't return any results), but I can't seem to figure out how to completely get rid of Flash on win10. The tool removes two packages - adobe-flash-for-windows and adobe-flash-for-windows-onecoreuap -, however, two other items remain: - the shockwave flash object (shockwaveflash.shockwaveflash.11), and - the macromedia flash factory object (flashfactory.flashfactory.1). As far as I can tell, they both point to the same ocx: either %windir%\system32\macromed\flash\ (for 32-bit version) or %windir%\syswow64\macromed\flash\ (for 64-bit version). Do you have any idea on how to properly remove these objects from the installation? I tried removing packages via tool, but it says they don't exist. Is there a reason these two objects were left out of the tool? Thanks a lot. P.S. Win10ProN 15063
