UAC is Windows feature, not self-standing application or app. As long as You can disable or ignore it (I mean checking user), not needed to do nothing more. This is built in option, not app.
Hey! I have some (probably newbie) questions about toolkit and windows, so here's the list: - What is the right method to determine which updates I need to download and integrate into an msdn iso? What tools should I use for to download these? (for example: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 | 7601 build | modified by microsoft: 07/07/2016) - Differences between Windows Updates & WHD Update Packs? (What does WHD stands for?) - How can I run batch files/scripts in the post-setup phase or after the installation? (Is it a right choice to install visual C redist packages in one of these or not?) - .exe installers (with multiple folders) are compatible with the Driver Integration menu? Thanks for the answers in advance!
Is there a way of not having to change the file permissions to access or edit some files and folders?
My ISO grew by several hundred MB, and I couldn't apply the update to only the install image. So in the end I just put SSU in the update folder and applied updated - then I deleted SSU and put CU in the update folder and I updated again. This time ISO grew less than 1 MB.
I don't know what resetbase is. I first tried mounting all images (rescue, boot, install, etc) - this was when my image grew in size when I chose to "Integrate to Windows Setup Boot, Install & Recovery Image". The size shrank by about 100MB when I tried "Integrate to Windows Setup Install & Recovery Image". So I thought maybe if I mount only install.wim I can use "Integrate to Windows Setup Install & Recovery Image" to update install.wim and get a similar size like when I use integrate Windows Updates. But this gave me an error stating the recovery image was not mounted. So I gave up and put the updates in Update folder one-by-one as I described about. This doesn't seem to be a fault with the MSMG Toolkit, it is just following an order to install Windows Updates. But I don't want to use the WHD method when my image size increases so much.
You can't update recovery (winre.wim) when it is not mounted (you said you only mounted install.wim). If you want to only install.wim (not recommended), just mount the install.wim and put the update in: "x:\ToolKit-v8.7\Updates\w10\x64\" (or x86).
This is what I do normally - just put the CU in the Update folder and integrate the update. This has never given any problems in the past, so I am now uncertain why this is not recommended, particularlly when MSMG Toolkit has the option to integrate Windows Updates. Or maybe I don't understand as normal.

Nope, it doesn't allow to run resetbase on winpe images only, only on all images and i don't want to run it on install.wim. I normally use @abbodi1406 his W10UI scripts for integrating updates.
@MSMG I just wanted to again thank you so much for working so hard on this development. It really has been a pleasure and a privilege to use this bit of code in making and slimming down my ISO's. You have done such a wonderful job at keeping this updated in your free time and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the work you do here. Especially since I can only imagine the length and time you put into making sure this code works with every edition of Windows 7, 8, 10, and all the Windows Server builds too.
What happened with the win7 framework 3.5 pack? Maybe I misread something but couldn't find it. EDIT: Lol it's already in there again! xD Maybe I should read more Musashi quotes like "Everything is within. Everything exists"~
Typo. There is no such thing. It is just Windows Server 2016. There are a couple more of this mention in the same message. Also, Windows Server 2012 is omitted.
Yes it was a typo mistake, will fix it. I have added support for only Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 R2 but not for Windows 2008 / 2012 versions.
How did you do that? I mean resetbase for winpe images or separately componentcleanup of install.wim. Can you write order how you use msmg toolkit (with w10ui together, as you said). Can you write more detailed instructions?
