    If it's about using the latest version of Toolkit to intergate/enable/disable/customize then it's already working.

    If it's about using the latest version of Toolkit to remove components then it will take time as I haven't decided yet to whether to use a Windows 7/8.1 base image or with updates for component removal.

    Let me fix this v1903/v1909 component returning issue, then will think about it.

    Note: you need to modify the Toolkit.cmd to remove the condition put in Remove Components Menu to check for v1903 ServicePackBuild.

    Hello everyone. I seem to be having a time at getting this to work. I have gone thru the process 3 times with the same result. After following instructions in the Readme file, and reading here on the forum, I am still getting stuck at the end of the process when I get to: Target > 1 Make a DVD ISO Image. I get this error message:

    Can't find Windows Setup 'Boot.wim' Image in <DVD\Sources> folder...
    Please copy Windows Setup 'Boot.wim' Image to <DVD\Sources> folder

    My steps are as follows: (I am using 1809 vanilla 17763.1 as my source)
    1. Extracted the Toolkit to C:\ Toolkit
    2. The DVD folder in Tookit contains an empty 'Sources' folder.
    3. I copied the contents of the sources folder found in the 1809 (17763. ) ISO to the empty Sources folder in the Toolkit DVD folder.
    4. I go thru the process of removing Windows stuff and integrating stuff, cleanup, rebuild, and all seems well.
    5. At the end, I get the message as stated above.​

    I did search the forum, and found the response on page 292, but I suspect I am making a simple mistake somewhere, maybe placing the contents from the copied ISO in the wrong place in the Toolkit DVD folder. I am a bit confused on the empty Sources folder there. Thanks for a helping hand . . . :)

    For other than component removal use the latest version and for component removal use v8.8.

    Copy the entire contents of ISO to DVD folder.

    GAMERS STAY AWAY

    I have many tries with this tool, which is great btw, but as a gamer i found it useless in the end. You can tailor your system to your needs but not for games needs. Example WMP i dont need it i can use other soft to play audio right ? NO NO NO GTA V needs it trying to install it .... nope You cant. pkgmgr is depreceated / btw no way to fix that/ next instalation cant find out why there is no sound at all in my pc. Problems problems and more problems, so after i think 10 tries of customizing w10 install i say this - it cant be done. Maybe there is another way of dealing with w10 bloatware problem and 3rd party software. I am not wasting any more time doing custom images which i will found out later missing some feature.
    Seting up bitdefender to paranoid mode and block everything i dont know or cant identify. It is a shame because i really wanted it to work but it just dont. getting back to work its 11 try this time normal installation no cuts

    Don't randomly press the buttons but seek what works and what doesn't work for your specific needs, and when a game needs wmp, then don't chop it.

    Thanks for responding. So I should copy the entire contents of the ISO directly into the DVD folder — not into the empty “Sources” folder in the DVD folder? Sorry to be such a knucklehead here. . . .

    yes, because the Toolkit need to know the entire contents of the ISO so can perform what is required, for example if you want to remove anything the script will search the entire contents of the ISO and following performs the removal of course and so on ...

    Yes, the empty sources folder is a placeholder for people who just use the boot.wim and install.wim for their work.

    Thanks. I’ll give it another go. It’s fun to tinker with. Thanks for all your hard work on this.
