    you should integrate windows 8.1 update first, save it, mount your image again, integrate other kb's, then wu will be ok!

    Yeah i know, i used a Win 8.1.1 ISO with April Updates already integrated as base for this :cool2:. At least i'm not completely alone with this.

    As said, this is not related to the tool.

    Hello guys,

    I have build an ISO a couple of months ago using this tool when W8.1.u1 came out.
    Everything works flawlessly, however the Windows 7 widgets cannot connect to the network. "Error: Cannot Connect to Service"
    Is there a way to fix that? I remember MSMG has spoken about a fix...

    Many thanks in advice!

    MSMG i have been using your tool for a while now but iam having a small issue, i want to make a pre activated Windows 8.1 ISO, i did follow the correct steps with backing up the tokens with the tool and putting the right product key in the tool. the toolkit says that the tokens were put into my Windows 8.1 ISO and their were no problems. to be sure it worked i used the ISO with the tokens on it on a different system to see if it worked or not but it seems that the tokens will not work on another computer. i know that Windows 7 and Windows 8 / 8.1 activation are different so i wasnt sure if i was doing something wrong or not.

    The ToolKit backups and integrates the tokens to image to be used on the system from which the tokens was extracted. The Image won't get activated on other systems. If you want to make pre-activated image to be used for all systems then you need to use KMS Activation Method and a VL version of Windows 7/8.1 OS as source.

    Still I haven't added the KMS activation Method for the ToolKit. May be in future I will add support for it.

    Hi MSMG,

    After all this time, I'm just starting to get into the latest version of the toolkit. I'm having one little problem. I was really interested in being able to access DaRT from the recovery menu. However, it only appears under Troubleshooting when I select 'Reset,' and then 'Cancel,' which causes a reboot into the Recovery menu. Then DaRT appears under troubleshooting. Am I missing something here? Oh, yeah, I chose option #3 under DaRT integration.


    Thanks...

    In the previous version I had configured the winpeshl.ini to boot Windows Recovery directly into DaRT instead of Regular Windows Recovery Menu and then choose troubleshooting menu to choose DaRT. But in the latest version of ToolKit i have kept the default settings. If you want to directly boot the recovery to DaRT go to <Packs\DaRT\w8x> and open the file Winpeshl_winre.ini with notepad and make the following changes

    Code:
    [LaunchApps]
    %windir%\system32\wpeinit.exe
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe
    ;%systemdrive%\sources\recovery\recenv.exe
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\recovery\tools\MSDartTools.exe
    
    Now Use the ToolKit to Integrate the DaRT

    MSMG,

    Thanks for your quick response. I like having DaRT under Troubleshooting. It's that it only appears there sometimes. If I click Power from the Charms Bar, and then Restart, while Holding Down Shift, I'll enter the Recovery Menu. But when I click on Troubleshooting, DaRT won't appear. I have to make another selection, and cancel out of it, which brings back the Recovery Menu, then DaRT appears under Troubleshooting. So there must be Two Different Recovery Menus, and only one is getting DaRT included under Troubleshooting. I hope this explanation makes sense.


    Thanks,

    Thanks for your all your work, MSMG.

    I've got a question. You provided the instructions below to show bibhuti how to remove the Windows 8 basic wim from his completed Pro WMC ISO so that he is left with only one wim. Can the same commands work with the original DVD source files before building the pre-activated Windows 8.i Pro WMC ISO?

    1) Copy the Created Windows 8.1 Pro WMC DVD Source Files to DVD Folder
    2) Open a Administrator Command Prompt
    3) Change to ToolKit Directory
    4) Run the following command

    Code:

    Bin\x64\DISM\Imagex.exe /delete DVD\sources\Install.wim 2

    5) The command will display that an index is deleted
    6) Close the Command Prompt
    7) Run ToolKit and go to Apply Source and Choose Re-Build Source
    8) That's it

    Hi MSMG,

    I think I found a bug in version 1.09.

    When attempting to remove Metro apps, the script checks if Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is installed.

    Even if Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 has already been installed, the script complains that's not the case, and refuse to uninstall Metro apps.

    I used fr_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4048627.iso as source.

    Could you fix it please? Thanks.

    Add:

    It's a great idea you had to replace the EXE with cmd, so everyone can learn from your code. :clap:
