    Could these permission issues be caused by not using CMD when deleting mounted NetFX4.7 files/folders and then copying files from my drive into mounted Mount directory? I guess that was the reason your instructions stated to use CMD to delete/copy/move data? I also performed the whole operation on fresh OS install in Audit mode.

    May be, that's why I did suggested to use the NSudo command prompt

    - Launch the NSudo and choose TrustedInstaller with Full Previliges
    - Type cmd in the textbox and then run it.
    - Use the above said command in the command window launched.

    xcopy /o will copy the files with the ACL
    xcopy /o /s will copy the files/directories with the ACL

    Edit: Just found out that for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10.x uses different folder permissions and ACL for ProgramData folder.

    Windows 7:

    ProgramData : Attributes - HDI, ACL - Administratros
    ProgramData\Microsoft : Attributes - SDI, ACL - Administratros

    Windows 8.x:

    ProgramData : Attributes - HDI, ACL - LocalSystems
    ProgramData\Microsoft : Attributes - SDI, ACL - Administratros

    Windows 10.x

    ProgramData : Attributes - HD, ACL - LocalSystems
    ProgramData\Microsoft : Attributes - SD, ACL - LocalSystems

    So it may requires some testing to use a common pack for all OS's.

    You can use the same steps I had specified for VC++ Runtime Pack to create a pack for office 2016.

    nsudo is SO useful, I use it regularly for tasks related to both customizing after running MSMG Toolkit as well as in general for maintenance and repair tasks.

    Yes - UEFI GPT. I will try Legacy, but I recall there was such a thing as UEFI 32bit, wasn't there?

    I think the same steps can be used for just about anything we want integrated (except for drivers I guess), which makes me appreciate those set of instructions even more, not to mention the hard work members of this forum put to create tools such as MSMG Toolkit!

    In all honesty, it really is much easier to just ***install OS - Audit mode - install VC++, reboot into Audit mode again, SysPrep+Generalize+OOBE+ShutDown, boot into WinPE, delete Admin & DefaultUser0 accounts, capture image with WIM-Lib*** than to make the package I am trying to make, unless the package is of high quality (no errors/issues/problems/incompatibilities, nothing extra, not bloated, and very reliable). However I enjoy learning about such things and doing the work. Its really useful and practical, even for non-IT situations.

    What ends up being difficult and questionable in the end about such packages is whether it is worth making them, assuming constant updating is required. If you think about DirectX 9, which is not going to get any updates, NetFX 4.7, which rarely gets updates, and other packages that are not likely to ever get updates (Win32Calc), then it absolutely makers sense to have them as optional packages for integration. VC++ gets updated inrequently, even files as old as 2013 still get updates. I think once I get a good hang of this package thing, it won't be problematic to update that package.

    No, from what I remember most (if not all) motherboards only support UEFI on 64-bit operating systems.

    Full x86 systems also run UEFI on x86, my asus T100TA does.

    I did not know, thanks for the info. So it depends on the motherboard/device. What I read a while ago is that the firmwares developers chose to implement UEFI in 64 bits and I did not know a case where it was 32 bits.

    And yet you still do things like add OOBE update packages into offline WIM files...

    Spare us.

    Hello,

    First of all, thank you for this app !

    The usage guide is not very complete. I would like to know how to install programs automatically, when installing windows (ex. 7zip, vlc...)

    I see that there is a mount/Boot and mount/Install folder

    Is it here that we have to put the. exe?

    Thank you

    No. Read about $OEM$ folder.

    Yes I have created the x86 pack for Win32Calc RS2 and there's a bug in the shortcut creation which needs to be fixed yet and it will be available in the next version.

    Yes creating the pack is a tedious process but it will helpful for people who don't want to do a system prepare just for it.

    Yes the usage guide needs to be update, it's been pending from long time, will update when I do get free time.

    Integration of Add-ons (Programs) is not yet supported.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Note: The account pictures are copied and applied, nothing wrong with that. Just they don't appear on the lock screen for Windows 10 only. :(
