MSMG ToolKit

@ MSMG thank you so much for Toolkit version 9.4.2 it is just awesome! There was absolutely no mistake with this my last job adding / removing the necessary; i couldn't be happier can believe deep down my heart again i just have to say congratulations for your endless dedication and love for everything you do here at MDL

 

Windows Notepad hasn't this issue.it's true.

 

Good morning.
I ask for confirmation, the cumulative updates downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog in which Toolkit folder should be entered?

Thanks

 

If the recovery of deleted components occurs from the WinSxS folder, then how to deny access to it?

 

Better use WHDownloader and put them in WHD folder.

Cheers.

 

@MSMG - Sir, there is no template to add to EnableFeaturesList.txt and DisableFeaturesList.txt. I also checked the main archive folder and there is no template to add the entries to the text files.

Can i use the same RemovePkgsList.txt which was prepared for toolkit v9.4.1 under 9.4.2 ?

If i remove the non-english cab files for DotNetFx and place only the english related files in packs folder for integration will it work ?

Thanks.

@MSMG - Sir, toolkit 9.4.2 doesn't support WIN 8.1 ?. Since there is removepkglist template for WIN 8.1, i tried the toolkit with 9.4.2, but when attempting to remove components i get error that support for WIN 8.1 is available with toolkit v8.8 only.

 

@ jinvidia correct only works with Toolkit v8.8

 

Thanks

 

I have remove Insider Hub, but...

Did not integrate cumulative update and uninstall all applications and components. After installing the system, I completely denied access to the WinSxS folder and when we try to install the update we get an error:

You could make list generators so people can see what they have:



Under [8] Tools

Add [4] Generate Lists
with individual options for each and the last option being All of them.

[1] Features
[2] Packages
[3] Provisioned Apps
[4] Drivers
[5] Capabilities
[6] All

Code:

Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echo "Listing Packages/Apps"
Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Packages /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Packages.txt"
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Features /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Features.txt"
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-ProvisionedAppx.txt"

"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Capabilities  /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Capabilities.txt"

 

Currently testing other things and removal of WindowsApps does not appear to work.

I had hoped to remove Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8) from my existing method by adding WindowsApps to RemovePkgsList.txt.

 

Those are two different things. For metro apps, you should use RemoveAppsList.txt, not package list.

Cheers.

 

Having peeked around a bit in the appmanifest.

So, it seems some apps can be used even on 1607 (LTSB). Others can be used from 1803 onwards.
And the Adguard site is right about offering a s**tload of dependencies.
Strangly, I did include the dependencies for Windows Alarms and Clock, but it wouldn't work until I updated from Store.

Cheers.
