MSMG ToolKit

Thanks for reply.
I try to work on my own solution.

 

I'm having a really annoying issue here. I've been running on my new customized MSMG .iso for about a day now, with pretty much no issues. But I just noticed that the Photos app crashes every time I try to open a picture - 100% of the time.

What can I do? This happens whether or not I'm logged in to the Photos app, and it happens regardless of what picture or file extension I use. As per the recommendation found in a Google search, I ran this PowerShell command as an Administrator to try and correct the issue:

Code:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

This results in two errors:

Code:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D02, The package could not be installed because resources it modifies are currently in use.
error 0x80073D02: Unable to install because the following apps need to be closed

I should note that I've also updated all of my Metro apps using the Microsoft Store (all 5 of them anyway). This might explain the error where a higher version of "VCLibs" is already installed. Although I don't know why PowerShell wouldn't just see the latest version.

Also, for a split second before it crashes, I can see the Photos App ask me if I want to allow it to access my contacts. I've removed the "People" app though, which may be a possible explanation for this crash. Can anyone confirm that this causes it?

What can I do? Should I make a thread for this?

EDIT:

I was able to quick-fix this by uninstalling Photos, and installing the .AppXBundle available from MSMG's MEGA folder (under "Common"). As a test, I allowed the Microsoft Store to update the Photos app. When it was finished, I opened a picture, and sure enough, it crashed again. This must mean that some dependency that the newer versions of the Photos app requires got removed.

For reference:

Versions of "Photos" that crash with most commonly removed apps/dependencies deleted:

Code:

Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2017.37071.16410.0
Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2017.39081.15820.0

Version of "Photos" that does not crash:

Code:

Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2017.313.10010.0

It's possible that there are more versions of Photos before version 2017.37071 that will also work, but for now, this is all I've been able to find out.

If anyone has an idea of why those two versions crash, but this one doesn't, please let me know.

 

@ MSMG when working with Toolkit v7.7 (W10 Build 14.393) I removed Windows Media Player & Windows Search make ISO and make fresh install so when system is already installed I see in folder of Programs Files x64 & x86 that WMP show as empty folder, but when I open Program Files in Control Panel/activate/desactivate features of Windows still remain Media Features and if I click remove system warn that making this can change severals configurations and for Windows Search remain in services.msc so I disable manualy maybe is necessary verify this behavior imo and for last after removing anyway my VLC works fine

 

So in this last version oneDrive, 3D Builder, Windows Store wasn't successfully removed, cuz when i booted onto VirtualBox those components where still left in the OS.

 

what??? were this option? I can`t see.
I need to integrate registry volume into image:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudExperienceHost\Broker\ElevatedClsids\{2b2cad40-19c1-4794-b32d-397e41d5e8a7}]
"AutoElevationAllowed"=dword:00000001

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons\{0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\RemovedFolders\{0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}]

 

dotnetfx integration issue and about language i need only for en-us n in older versions of MSMG it was working well but now it is not working with rs3 n rs4 i always make aio isos so i used msmg toollkit cause it mount all images at time and enable dotnetfx just in one click but now its not working , it alwasy show same msg like this dotnetfx folder empty

 

The LP files for dotnetfx3 are not needed, @abbodi1406 explained to me those files are already inside the image.

In the Japanese, Dutch, German, en-gb, etcetc.. iso's they aren't even inside the sxs folder, only the en-us iso's do.

 

Toolkit is still breaking the Photos and Store UWP apps.

That's great! I was about to post this suggestion ...

I've successfully done pretty much what you've done with zero problems, but the last version I used was Toolkit v7.1.
Use an older version of the Toolkit.
Since LTSB 2016 is rs2 1607 you are fine to use an older Toolkit.
MSMG has older Toolkit available for DL on his Mega account, but I'm not sure if it's "old enough"
My signature shows the exact steps I followed when using Toolkit v6.9.

FYI ...
Doing the step "4,1 "Remove Default Metro Apps Association" isn't necessary since LTSB doesn't have any "Metro Apps"
However, doing that step will not harm your LTSB build.

 

dude 2016 LTSB is rs1 (Build 14393.rs1_release_inmarket_aim.171027-1738)

 

Is it yet safe to remove Internet Explorer? Or is that still the impossible dream? I would love to start up Windows from the beginning with Firefox Quantum.

 

I keep getting an error about missing Install.wim file? I downloaded the official ISO from Microsoft's media creation tool. What am I missing?

 

u need to convert install.esd to install.wim .search on google on how to do it
