I was wondering if one could create a script during format that will let us choose which Metro apps to be installed. Like AROMA OPENGAPPS on Android.
Thanks, Yes it was just a guess as the Xbox Identity Provider App is a requirement for Core Metro Services and so I had suggested it to try, even for RS1 initially it was retained for store and later removed it from the requirement list. Will find out what's the actually dependent package.
The Language Packs/Language Feature Packs/WinPE Language Packs should be copied to <Packs\LangPacks\<OS>\<Arch>\<Language>> folder. The filename should be in their internal package name, like Code: Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-GB~10.0.16299.15.cab Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-en-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.cab Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Handwriting-en-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.cab Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-OCR-en-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.cab Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-en-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.cab Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-TextToSpeech-en-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.cab
It will require a lot of code re-work and I don't have much time to do, the best I can do now is will add a separate menu "Remove Apps from Using Apps List" which will remove all apps present in a RemoveAppsList.txt file.
@ All I have finished updating the ToolKit's Integration, Conversion, Remove Apps sections to fully support Windows 10 RS3. Still Remove Windows Components needs to be updated and also creating new pack for RS3 is pending, so please do wait for a while. Also I have started working on a new mechanism for Component Removal which will be soon added to the ToolKit for testing.
@MSMG Just a very minor thing... Doing the conversion from core to pro workstation generates an image which is still marked as core, everything works as expected then
Excuse my ignorance, as I know only Fortran(please don't laugh xD) and I'm not sure how these scripts work, but coudln't the user create a .txt file where he inputs the corresponding letters for each individual app. Eg if the .txt has a,b,c,d,e,f,g then the script will delete the corresponding apps. To my understanding, it's a simple subroutine.
If I (attempt) to make the changes, will you merge it into future versions? Your method works too... but perhaps we'll need one for 4-3-2 as well.
hi thx for nice toolkit, i have req new fiture to next future release Added Blackvipers Service Added import & restore configuration Updated Menu For export image to wim high compression & ESD Updated Menu For iso to make image to wim high compression & ESD Added or import Custom Tweaking from registry files
For Windows 8.1 a RemoveAppsList.txt file is sufficient. Some registry tweaks are optional. But removing components consists of removing packages only.
