MSMG ToolKit

Mount install.wim. In Windows Powershell as administrator run

Code:

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -path <path to mount directory> | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -path <path to mount directory>

Save and dismount. Bye bye apps.

 

Hi! How do I integrate NetFX35 using the MSMG ToolKit in Windows 10 Pro 2004-19041. 84 ? And also is it possible to integrate Dart ?

 

Is there another way to integrate NetFX35 in Windows 10 Pro 2004-19041. 84?

Indeed: Files, registry settings, group policy, services and so on.

I gave up. I don't know what packages I can uninstall and how to get toolkit to do it.

 

I tried the toolkit and, as an experiment, removed and disabled everything. I used the two full template txt files. After installing Windows I found that I could not longer type in the start menu. eg. Press winkey and type 'notepad' to launch/run notepad. Which feature/app/pkgs disables that? I'd like to make another ISO including the ability to type in the start menu search bar. Thanks! Great work on this amazing project.

Windows 10 Pro 1909

*Edit: I wonder if it's Cortana. I guess everything is all rolled up into Cortana now? I don't need any special features, just type and run applications from the start menu. Save me some mouse clicks.

Used ToolKitHelper v1.0.2484.0 with AllComponents command on Windows 10.0.18363.693, completed without errors.

 

The toolkit offers 3 ways to remove components on /from Install.wim

(i). RemoveAppsList.txt : ( DISM )

(ii) RemovePackagesList.txt : ( Toolkit Helper entries & DISM entries)

(iii) Directly from the Command Prompt Window ( Toolkit Helper )

( DISM leaves files, registries,etc. behind but not the Toolkit Helper!)

At least what I could understand.

Thanks. ...

 

That's really nice, but it doesn't address the issue that I highlighted.

Which packages need to be retained so as not to brick the system, and if I am attempting to remove a component, do ALL packages associated with that component need to be removed?

 

There is not checksum of the ToolKitHelper.exe in SHA-1.txt.
Is the SHA1 of the ToolKitHelper.exe(1.0.2484.0) 608b85cdcc118d1f76de648d9ce5c3e4c06bce80?

 

1. Be very clear that its not the bricked system but only broken functionality / functionalities ( if any! ). Its probably, because of the removal of dependency /dependencies though the developer sir has taken great care of that mentioning it & about the axing process.
Just have a look there! . The person made the removals & checked the modified Install.wim health by DISM ScanHealth command. That says its all good though he has axed System Restore! Its just a perfect & planned component removal.

2. I think all newbies like me, should only use the direct method from the cmd prompt & not the app or package removal lists because It's very informative about dependencies & takes a rather safe path!
for eg. Cortana, StartMenu & Settings Search App | Depends on: Speech Recognition : the single listing tells a lot of things!

3. In the end, It's ones own decision what he wants to keep. Ask others and /or google things one by one to know what it is, develop some understanding about it & decide whether you want to keep it or not. It will be less problematic then!

Thanks. ...

@MSMG : Wow, Super light Win 10, Thanks.

I have removed "Cortana" on "1903 Pro x64" using the "latest Toolkit Helper" but I feel i want it back. Is there a way to add it back directly to the installation ?

Thanks in advance.
