The best removing things is to remove BitLocker additionally to Defender from WinRT. It really doesn't have a sense for use it on RT. I remove it well with WinToolKit well. And integrate updates. I ask for support for RT from NTLite but they seems doesn't see any needs to it.
The process is same for any .tpk pack: - Use a clean installed OS either physical or a VM installed. - Capture the current OS file system snapshot. - Capture the current OS registry snapshot. - Install the updates required and reboot. - Capture the current OS file system snapshot. - Capture the current OS registry snapshot. - Using the NSudo command prompt, mount the template .tpk wim image. - Make sure the needed folder structure is present with folder permissions. - Get the difference of the two file system snapshot and make a list of files/folders changed/created/copied. - Copy the newly created/copied folders/files to the mounted .tpk wim image mount folder using the xcopy /o command. - Capture the mounted .tpk wim image mount folder to a new wim image and rename the extension to .tpk - Get the difference of the two file registry snapshot and create the registry file with cleaning the unwanted entries. - Rename the Registry Hives in the registry file to match the ToolKit's Image registry mount points.
Hello, just had a few questions and was hoping someone could shed some light on them before I built my own image. Does the Remove All Apps Except Store option also keep the Xbox apps? I noticed it was explicitly mentioned in earlier versions. If I understand properly, Enable DISM Cleanup with Full ResetBase is generally recommended as it removes deprecated and outdated files (eg. following update integration)? A minor one, but what practical purpose does the Enable Fraunhofer MP3 Codec serve?
Is there some way to use MSMG Toolkit on a live installation for the Windows Photo Viewer UI change? Any way to do it on-the-fly?
- Yes Remove All Apps Except Store option will keep the Xbox.TCUI for the compatibility reasons - Yes Enable DISM Cleanup with Full ResetBase is generally recommended but it also breaks the reset PC function in x64 builds. - Fraunhofer MPEG Layer-3 Audio Decoder is a small-sized codec which allows you to play the well-known MP3 audio format. Regarding tags, when Fraunhofer MPEG Layer-3 Audio Decoder is missing, Audio Codec Tag 55 and Audio Codec Tag 85 may be requested.
Yes you can you may need the nsudo, resource hacker and the resource files from the ToolKit and use the commands given in the ToolKit script to patch the photo viewer. May be the photo viewer RS5 might have changed as MS is removing the classic features and there by any resource might have changed.
Thank you for the clarifications, @MSMG. One last thing I wanted to ask was about Force .NET Programs to Use Newest .NET Framework; how is this achieved and what benefit does it provide? Wouldn't most applications break if you force them to use different/incompatible libraries?
With all due respect, I think you guys need to have a little patience. It will be ready when it's ready. Don't forget that October Update (Errr.... November/December update), hasn't even been re-released yet. What's the point of pushing for 8.9 for a product that is not even available!?
Enabling this tweak will remove the need for older .Net Framework like 3.5, and the application targeted for older version will run with the latest available Framework and yes most of the programs do work. But there are few applications likely to fail like one is Exchange on SBS 2011 Standard, Fiddler etc.
I have finished the coding for component removal and now I'm testing the component removal with the actual image and so far have tested around 38 components, everything is working fine with no Setup failure, Component Store corruption or WU failures. Once all components are tested, I will release an update for users testing, so do wait until then.
Sound Forge install will fail if .net3xx isnt installed even if use latest CLR is enabled. I install .net3.5 and 472 and set their services to manual. Damn these programs that need a specific .net.
...The MSMGTOOLKIT that contains tools for capturing and editing images,the Wimscript will is updated to capture RS5?
