    As I suspected, the updates are the problem. OK, thx kindly guys, I'll rebuild ISO without them, and give that a shot. Cheers for rapid response all!!! :D

    (LTSC 17763)After updating the patch, running Sysprep cannot be completed.

    Lots of contradictory information here about the correct order of operations (Updates, integrations, removal). Even the program author has posted different instructions, for example:

    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-123#post-1345735
    States that Integrate Features -> Integrate Updates -> Remove Components is correct

    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-450#post-1489793
    but here states that Remove Components -> Integrate Updates is correct.

    I'm using en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_74865958.iso. Can someone clarify which method is actually correct?

    Much thanks to the author for this valuable tool!

    Windows servicing and "how and what can be chopped" changed a lot since 2017.

    Ok, so the most current advice (Remove Components -> Integrate Updates) is correct? Lots of posters saying that did not work for them, but the reverse did...

    Don't want to bother him. Think I'll wait for 9.x and go from there.

    Thank you for the reply.

    :thinking: What happened with testing by trial and error?

    From what I have read, MSMG says remove components then integrate updates due to toolkithelper.exe. I have always integrated updates then removed components. The problem lies in the toolkithelper.exe. Somehow it only removes components before updates, but updates will only integrate properly before component removal. This creates a Catch 22 situation.

    Oh, I have been :)

    And I also have read every single post in this thread this past week, which is why I was quoting one from last year. To me they are all brand new :)

    But I worry that even if one method or the other appears to work fine, something will be broken "under the hood" and I won't realize it until I go to run some important update a few months from now and it breaks...

    That's why the general concensus is: "Chop less, disable more".
    Anyway LTSC is lean on its own, there is little you gain from chopping, other than problems.

    Cheers.

    i am absolutely shocked how good this tool works! a long time i had to learn how to use it. some days ago i could hardly believe that the tool is even capable of cutting out ceip, even defender..

    but it works that great!! so once again i deleted "compattelrunner.exe" residing in system32 without a task running, and this time took that trash out ^^

    very, very good work!!! salute!

    It does indeed!

    Just wanna update, and say, that my 'refreshed ISO', without the updates, went without a hitch. Golden smooth :D

    Installed remaining updates in offline mode also, but one needs to install the SS update FIRST!, this is important, and probably the cause of my original ISO not completing installation properly? ;)

    All in all, I can't fault the tool, it's brilliant at what it does, and makes a lean LTSC even leaner, lol, so thank you all for the kind help, and MSMG for this invaluable gift :) Awesome stuff indeed!!
