    The issue is that if I choose to remove telemetry I won't be able to install Windows 1511 th2.

    1511 is EOL (except enterprise and pro-edu), why would you still use it?

    I think I found a little bug in the script

    This is your script
    Code:
    :: Performing [Install.wim] Image Windows Folder Cleanup
    if "%ImageIndexNo%" equ "*" (
        for /L %%k in (1, 1, %ImageCount%) do (
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\$Recycle.Bin" rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\%%k\$Recycle.Bin" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\PerfLogs" rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\%%k\PerfLogs" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" del /f /q rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\inf\*.log" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\inf\*.log" >nul 2>&1     
            if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\CbsTemp\*" (
                for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\CbsTemp\*"" 2^>nul') do (rd /q /s %%i >nul 2>&1)
                del /s /f /q "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\CbsTemp\*" >nul 2>&1
            )
    there's missing "%%k" in the line of Backup
    Code:
    if exist "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" del /f /q rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\%%k\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" >nul 2>&1

    Because of its cleaner? Lighter less crapware comparing to 1709.

    Intentionally using obsolete builds comes with sacrifices and the crapware you speak of is what this toolkit was designed to remove.

    1511 is 10586 = not getting updates anymore.
    1607 is 14393 best 10 edition, according to many users.

    Atleast it's missing the borked game mode and integrated advertising, additionally offers some control over updates (although it started to enable WU automatically in background).

    This toolkit isn't perfect nothing is and i prefer to have less crapware to remove than more.
    There are bugs in 1703 and 1709 that's another reason as to why I will stick with 1511. Plus on the 15/11/1958 I have lost my virginity and that windows build remainds me of it.

    Good luck with an unsupported OS when online, you'll need it.

    What telemetry updates, telemetry is built-in, don't confuse with Win 7/8.1.

    I have exactly the same problem as you have described.
    Tried short path name on C:\MSMG and E:\MSMG, still get the same error.
    Version 7.9 works no problem.

    - Using old version of ToolKit with present pack can give errors while integrating.

    - Yes two years ago only few components were added for removal and so less errors.

    - Yes that's why I did shifted to new method of component removal i.e the manual method, although using this method works good with no errors, one issue with this method is that it needs to be updated for every Cumulative Update or any Updates in order to removal the components updates, so thinking of something new or improving this method instead of updating for every updates.
