Yes it's by design the new update method used for v1903, the CU will restore the removed components. Need to workout any best method to keep WU working and also make sure the component don't get restored.
@MSMG do I add the cumulative and security updates after having removed the components, or before? I didn't do it earlier because the toolkit works only on .1 and .30 with the 1903 ISO Also, will test out the Photoshop cloud installer bug in a while.
Make sure you read all the info in readme.txt for v19H1 - W10 v19H1 (18362) the support version is 18362.1 or 18362.30 - Removed components will be restored once the Windows Update is used or the updates are installed manually. and this by the new update mechanism the MS has implemented for v19H1. For Integration of Drivers and Updates, removing of components you don't need the packs folder. For Integration of Language Packs, Feature Packs you need the Pack folder. v1809 is working fully and the removed components don't get restored upon using WU or manual updates installation.
For v19H1 right now both offline integration or online installation of updates will restore the removed components. Yes do test the Photoshop issue.
I did the customize first, before doing the remove part. However, I did a clean up after integration before either customizing and removing components. Will this matter when I do the final clean up before applying/rebuild source?
@MSMG it turns out that if all the components are removed, then the cumulative update cannot be integrated?
Ya it seems that for 1903 not much has changed since v9.3.2. Hopefully MSMG can fix the restore problem
I can't seem to use the packagelist. All I get are messages saying that each component has already been removed Here's an example Removing ToolKitHelper:Calculator Package The specified package has already been removed
@MSMG I have tested both ways, with Edge removed first, and then IE + Edge as second, and Photoshop's cloud installer works just fine. Both tests have been done on Oracle's VM VirtualBox. I will test on my physical machine and will report back, with the latest ISO i've made.
9.4's build supports for version 1903 are 18362.1 and 18362.30 But what are the supported ones for version 1809 (build 17763.???)
@MSMG In the past you told me to run a command the moment I install Windows it was a DISM command something to do with cleanup. Is that still needed?
