    I have made a little progress with error I was receiving. If I replace ToolKitHelper.exe in Toolkit v9.2 with ToolKitHelper.exe from v9.1, the Toolkit does not produce any errors. Something I have noticed, however, is the process is much slower.

    Toolkit v9.1 has ToolKitHelper.exe v1.0.1404.0
    Toolkit v9.2 has ToolKitHelper.exe v1.0.1512.0

    I do not like to say this, as I know how work @MSMG puts into this Toolkit, but it seems like ToolKitHelper.exe is at fault here and not my system.

    The slowness is due to the code protection added to the .exe

    ToolKitHelper.exe v1.0.1404.0 compiled using VS2017
    ToolKitHelper.exe v1.0.1512.0 compiled using VS2019 RC2

    But that shouldn't matter since I did the testing on a different system without the VS installed it is working, the ToolKitHelper.exe only requires NETFX472

    Verification 100% complete.
    
    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
    I'm not sure what to do now, the problem still exists.

    I have now tested this on a laptop with Windows 10 Enterprise 1809 x64 and I get the same error.

    I can confirm this.
    On the removal stage, nearly all components error out with the same message as posted by others.
    Only two components removed OK: Microsoft.Windows.PeopleExperienceHost and Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI.
    I've finished the image regardless, but still have to test if it works or not.

    Edit: Installed fine, but Windows Update was broken, it did not install the CU that was (strangely) offered again.
    Also, camera app and alarms and clock were not working. I've missed something but don't know what.

    As there were only a few appx bundles in the apps folder, I had to download some of them from adguard.
    No big deal and seemed to integrate fine.

    Here's the error I got while removing, source OS is English LTSC and target is Spanish LTSC:
    msmg_error.jpg

    Cheers.

    Edit:
    Some more info about my workflow...
    - Used first released LTSC
    - Integrated updates downloaded with WHDownloader and integrated with Abbodi's W10UI
    - Mounted the resulting images with MSMG
    - Integrate Edge, alarms and clock, camera app, store all ok
    - Integrate DART and DX9
    - Proceed to removal stage and error...

    Last edit:
    SFC came up dirty. Fixed some errors but the CU still did not install from WU. Trying manually with the installer says it is already installed.
    The two apps sorted out themselves, opening the store updated something and they started working.
    Sadly this round was not successful.

    Are you referring to SW_DVD5_WIN_ENT_LTSC_2019_64-bit_English_MLF_X21-96425 or en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_74865958?

    Will the baseline version (Windows 10 LTSC 2019 from October 2018) work and show up without any sfc scan errors on v9.0 v9.1 or v9.2?

    Removed underground, and removed the system first in Russian 17763.1. There are no errors with sfc \scannow. The question is different now. How can I automate the removal via .cmd Tool Kit Helper? Ie create a script that prescribe what to remove and apply to the mounted image.

    A bug in 9.2. When you remove Edge, Windows to Go is also removed.

    Will checkout, it may be in the batch file I might have added WindowsToGo instead of WindowsReaderPDF

    @MSMG, do you think the order is important? What can we do to troubleshoot the issue? First system apps, then advanced components and then Apps (LTSC has no apps)?

    The readme says:
    "Note: Remove the components in the order Windows Apps -> System Apps -> Advanced Windows Components."

    Cheers.

    Adobe Flash Player is required for Internet Explorer which can also can be enabled under Edge.

    By the Package name AdobeFlashForWindows it's for whole Windows.

    If you remove Internet Explorer and Edge then you can remove Flash too.

    It's the usual order I do test the ToolKit but it shouldn't matter, for LTSC yes the order is just System Apps and Advanced Windows Component.

    In case of ru-RU image when I did removed the whole components I got an setup error and so I first removed System Apps + Advanced Windows Component to see if it works or not, today I just continued with the same image by removing the Windows Apps and it worked.

    Later will further check in the order Windows Apps -> System Apps -> Advanced Windows Components to see if it again breaks the setup or not.

    Ok but then I followed the correct order, so no idea why it doesn't work.
    I'm going to try an image without updates integrated to see if it makes a difference.
    @Feartamixg did you make any progress? Is your image en-us or en-gb?

    Edit: There are 5 of us with problems, what is the common denominator?

    Cheers.
