MSMG ToolKit

Do try the next version which will solve most of the current issues.

 

OMG i was thinking that version 8.8 was removed since the archive folder has all the versions except 8.8.
Is version 8.8 working fine with windows 8.1 ?

 

Hi I was wonder what the effects of upgrading an MSMG created ISO would have (Using Windows Update)?
EX. Upgrading 1803 to 1809. I have heard it would just install all the bloat back and have no other side effects.
Others have said it would completely corrupt the installation i would just like some clarification on this.

 

Thanks, I will. This is the number one thread for me on this forum right now. The build itself is working well, haven't tried an install with the image it generates yet, but I will today probably. Hopefully will work well. Seems to build without issue though. Script posted below for anyone who wants to check it out, fully automates the process, runs from this shortcut, nsudo.exe -U:T -P:E build.cmd;

@MSMG - Sir, if I replace the toolkithelper.exe in the archive with the latest version in your link, will it bring any performance improvement ?.
Is the latest version meant for all msmg versions ?
Thanks

 

It wouldn't if you serviced both images with ToolKit.

 

v8.8 is left to be in the main folder to support W7-10 RS4.

The updated ToolKitHelper.exe is for RS5 only.

 

@MSMG , how do you get the DaRT iso into a tpk file? It says it cannot find the tpk file for the DaRT.

 

Did you download the DaRT package for your windows edition? 7. 8 or 10, and put it in the correct place in the "Packs" folder?

 

Yes I did, and it was in a iso format. and it was 10

Thank you so much! That was the program I needed!

 

Thanks a lot for making it clear Sir.

 

Not going well for me with the images I'm modifying with toolkithelper.exe. Returning an error saying "setup cannot install windows on this computer" after the first reboot. Any suggestions? I'm using the latest toolkithelper binary posted in the official download link. Working on an an LTSC 2019 17763.1 image. I'll try some things and provide more details later.

 

its possible to inject dart6 in to vista x86/x64 boot.wim, install.wim or winre.wim?
thanks from brazil (amazonia).

 

Yes when the components are removed in some order this occurs and I'm troubleshooting for the same with removing components stage by stage and installing the image to see if it works, Better wait for the newer version.

 

Does anybody know where I can find a list of the packages that can be removed by adding their name to the 'removepkgslist.text' file?

Is there also a quick way to remove components in the '[1] Remove Windows components' by selecting all at once then ones you want to remove without having to go one by one?

 

@MSMG You seriously need to reconsider your decision to not open-source toolkit.exe. Many people on this forum are very experienced coders like you, and would definitely be of service. Your life could be much simpler.

 

Thanks, yeah I've found there is some component or order causing the installation to bomb. I tried doing just a small number of components and it's fine, but I want to remove a good number of them. Problem is it's time consuming to troubleshoot, each iteration takes a while. Until it's resolved with a newer version I'm going to monkey with it and see what I can find. Really want to be able to remove all those components in a non-interactive manner.

 

Since you're working on the tookithelper binary, wonder if I could ask for a feature. Would it be possible to batch process all the components when calling the executable? Seems kind of inefficient to call the binary for every component. Seems like it has to initialize very time which slows things down quite a bit, but I don't know how it works so maybe it would only save some typing.
