Mine are msu files. That's what I said (if I integrate them and not remove anything afterwards I don't any trouble installing the latest CU through Windows Update) but I really need those components to be removed.
Delete the $OEM$ folder created by NTLite, this is enough to not install the updates after the setup. Then copy the $OEM$ folder from abbodi1406's KMS_VL_ALL. If you want to use the 2 at the same time you will have to merge the contents of the folders and of the setupcomplete.cmd Oh well then you will have to test one by one until you find which component is causing it. There is nothing to do, report the bug in the NTLite forum and wait for a fix.
That's what I want (to use the 2 at the same time), so I can't delete the $OEM$ folder created by NTLite.
I said this just for testing purposes. You will not be able to find where the problem is if you want to do everything at the same time. You have to isolate the processes and do them separately. Remove only with MSMG Toolkit and see the result. If all goes well then the problem is in NTLite. Adding the updates to the post-setup will not help in this case.
Like I told you, I know that's NTLite that causes this. I just don't know which component removal causes it. And I've been trying to know what causes it by removing component by component but I can't find the cause so I just gave up.
What are the DISM commands to integrate them? Maybe that's what NTLite or MSMG ToolKit do and afterwards I can't install the latest CU through Windows Update after removing some components with NTLite so I stay the same.
I use WinRAR, but WinZip should surely work. The command is Code: Dism /Image:<path to mount folder> /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path to cab file> If you want to do it online substitute /Online for Image:<path to mount folder> You can find lots of informative stuff about dism by searching. Much is published by MS.
Open Winrar, go to File, Open Archive, Select All Files on the bottom right, and browse for your file, and select open. Or simply paste the path in the File Name box, and click on Open.
Thanks, I didn't know I could open files with WinRAR this way. Can I do this for other files which I don't have a context menu option to open or extract them? There are 4 files: 2 cab, 1 xml and 1 txt. Which of the 2 cab files of the 2 msu files I have to extract (probably the one which isn't WSUSSCAN)?
You are correct. The one that is not WSUSSCAN. All the others are irrelevant. You can open other archives this way, and some executables (the self-extracting ones) such as Nvidia Driver executables. If you can't open it, it will let you know.
Oh well I imagined that but it was not entirely clear to me. Here is not the right place to discuss this since it is something specific to NTLite. Also it is difficult to help without knowing what you removed, your NTLite preset would help a lot but as I said it would be more appropriate to post it in the NTLite forum. But try removing only with NTLite what you've removed to make sure it's something specific to it, not its interaction with MSMG. But in general even for MSMG Toolkit an effective way to test this is to remove a component or a sub set of components, back up the image and test. If everything is ok use the same image and remove more components (backing up earlier) until causing the problem. Once this breaks the installation of the cumulative update you know that it was that component or the sub set of components that caused the problem. Just go back to the previous backup and continue testing until you find the "culprit".
@MSMG I am asking about the toolkithelper.exe. Would it be possible for you to instruct me how to apply this to RS5 and RS6 builds? It does such a great job of removing Defender on RS4, and I would like to investigate how to do this on the more recent builds. If this is proprietary information I understand. Thank you.
Yes, it's definitely something removed by NTLite that causes this. I just know that the integration of updates along with something removed causes it but I don't know which component removal does this even after removing a different sub set of components each time.
Hi MSMG and all, I gave up and i am really tired of trying to crop Defender,SmartSCreen,CEIP,WER from RS3 and RS4 with the MSMG toolkit because the Windows Installation always gave the error "Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware” and i could not find any solution for this Instead of cropping those items from the iso , may i prefer to stop those services by way of a reg file ? Here is the registry file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; DisableDefender [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender] "DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection] "DisableBehaviorMonitoring"=dword:00000001 "DisableOnAccessProtection"=dword:00000001 "DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable"=dword:00000001 ; Disable Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows] "CEIPEnable"=dword:00000000 ; Disable Windows Error Reporting [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting] "Disabled"=dword:00000001 ; Disable SmartScreen [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "SmartScreenEnabled"="Off" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\PhishingFilter] "EnabledV9"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppHost] "EnableWebContentEvaluation"=dword:00000000 Thank you
I have tried to remove system restore 3 times from a w7 pro n image, each time it get "package does not exist", it is probably hidden but it isnt hidden on a pro vl image. Can i export the CBS registry entries for the 2 packages from the vl image and import them/replace existing to the n image to make them visible?
I cannot replicate this. I integrated updates into base RS4 Pro, used MSMG to remove just about everything (including defender and smartscreen) and had 0 issues installing. I have had 0 issues installing with defender removed on any RS3 and RS4 build.
