It's available now, right now support for integration, customization has been added for W10 v2004, removal support will be added in upcoming versions.
wow. thank you so much! do you have any ETA for the version that is capable of doing component removal? and 2nd question is if i remove components from 1909 and update to 2004 down the line, will that re-install those components i've removed? in other words if i'm looking forward to 2004 should i wait for next toolkit update or take the 1909 route
Towards the end of my method, I have run Cleanup (6 > 1) then chosen Apply (6 > 2) - I am asked a question not previously asked in v9.5 and I'm unsure how to respond: Do you want to cleanup Image Windows folder ? Spoiler =============================================================================== MSMG ToolKit - Apply & Save Changes to the Source Images =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ####Starting Applying & Saving Changes to Source Images######################## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to cleanup Image Windows folder ? ['Y'es/'N'o] : I am thinking that because I have already done cleanup (6 > 1) I do not need not do it again and choose No?
@MSMG I beg for persecution, but have you checked these errors? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-701#post-1574527 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-703#post-1575462
@MSMG I have one small bug to report. I removed just about everything but importantly for this report I removed Edge and IE and integrated Chromium Edge. I am left with a single IE remnant that cannot be deleted due to the ownership and permissions. Once I claimed ownership and changed permission it was deleted without issue: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ie9props.propdesc Once this file was deleted the folder was deleted without issue. Other than this insanely minor bug I am experiencing 0 issues.
No ETA yet as I'm waiting for the official release of v2004 to know which CU version will it be released with. v1909->v2004 is a feature upgrade and yes it will restore all the removed components with new files. Even with the present removal method installing any CU later or using WU will restore the removed components for v1909 or v2004. Better wait for the next release if removing components.
Yes I have added a choice whether to cleanup the image or skip it and just apply the changes. Choose Yes if you want to cleanup or No to skip, (6 > 1) is reset base and this is cleaning up of temporary files in Windows folder.
Not yet, when I do fix them it will listed in change log. I'm aware of these issues - Removing IE breaks the DirectX 9.0c Web Installer and Adobe Photoshop Online Installation. - Removing Map Control, the "File Information" item in Photos does not work. - Integrating standard games breaks Instagram UWP App.
The ie9props.propdesc file is a property description file and it contains property instructions for Prop-ID, it's an XML file required for compatibility of IE components to run under WOW64 mode, It is also required for Windows Search patterns and to respect SFC /scannow I do have retained several other IE files like Windows\system32\iernonce.dll or Windows\system32\iertutil.dll for compatibility of old Intel GPU drivers installation.
Should I choose 6 > 1 6 > 2 > Y- or - 6 > 1 6 > 2 > N-or- 6 > 2 > Y Slightly confused, as it sounds like I can choose the third option without needed to do 6 > 1. Or is the first option the most thorough cleanup and recommended?
6 > 1 is Dism /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase 6 > 2 > Y/N is about cleaning temporary files like below Code: $Recycle.Bin PerfLogs Windows\WinSxS\Backup Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData Windows\inf\*.log Windows\CbsTemp
@MSMG Hi, first thanks for your work I get an error message: "ToolKit component removal only work with the below Source OS Images... Windows 10 v1909 (10.0.18363.418) Source OS." But the changelog list for 9.6 say: + Updated the Feature "Remove Windows Component" to support Windows 10 Client v1909 (v10.0.18363.693) Source OS. I use this image: Windows 10 Pro v1909 (10.0.18363.693) x64 german
Thank you. I shall do 6 > 1 then 6 > 2 > Y for the most thorough cleanup. Awaiting today's CU and SSU before testing new method.
