Would you elaborate? Problems with ToolKit or Windows updates after 418?

 

hi!
i'm about to perform a replace upgrade of windows 10 using a newly minted msmged iso,
keeping files only,
is this a good thing?
anyone done this before?
advice?

 

I had no problems.

 

You can't remove it, you can only hide it and yes the CU can be installed but it will restore the removed components.

 

RemoveAppsList.txt to be used with [3] Remove Windows Apps using Apps List, which uses the standard DISM /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage command to remove the Apps.

RemovePkgsList.txt can be used for both the DISM /Remove-Package command or to remove Apps and Components using ToolKitHelper method.

 

Do use with CU .418 or the latest CU .904.

 

Yes it seems the Edge Chromium package causing the pending.xml, do check with v2004 + CU without the Enablement package.

 

I don't know where to put it

 

Ok perfect, but i was wanting to try the new features of 20H2 build

Without the enablement package, i can forget about those.

I also saw screenshots from you that you achieved a 20H2 build with the toolkit.

@MSMG,

For the record, I'm a little confused in this learning ... I'm asking for learning purposes only.

You put 2 different command modes ...

I suppose the command "ToolKitHelper <Image-Mount-Folder> <Component-Name1; Component-Name2; Component-Name3>" is to be executed outside "Toolkit.cmd" in any other script. Or by direct command line.

On the other hand there is this command line below.
if "%Component%" equ "WindowsApps" call :RemoveWindowsComponent "%InstallMount%", "All Windows Apps", "WindowsApps"

This term "All Windows Apps" calls what part of the code?

If I want to implement this codes within the toolkit. How could it be done?

I'm thinking about this 2 code modes:

In one I use "% ToolkitHelper%" in another I use "call: RemoveWindowsComponent".

For the selection I put each Component-Name in just one line. Just the way it is below without using <>.
Component-Name1;Component-Name2;Component-Name3

Which of the 2 can work better? Or none of the 2? If none, Am I reasoning right on this point? Or should it be otherwise? What correction should be made?

Another question: How do I comment on a line in the "RemovePkgsList.txt" files?
Would it be using the "rem" command?

Thanks in advance!


Edit: From what I have tested now, it seems to work with "call :RemoveWindowsComponent", but it is interrupted and some Components are left behind. in the test with the command "%ToolKitHelper%" it removes everything that was listed and separated by ";".
Note: so it removes really, really fast.

 

thank you for your hard work,
can you please advise how to do it manually integrate PowerShell 7.0.2 Pack

thanks

 

For the 20H2 test, I didn't use the cleanup image option, just saved the image and installed it.

May be Edge Chromium also needs to be removed to get the image cleanup too work.

 

ToolKitHelper is the actual removal program and :RemoveWindowsComponent is the function which calls the ToolKitHelper program.

In the Remove Windows Components using Package List mode, I'm using the ToolKitHelper directly to indicate the tool to remove components present in the RemovePkgs.txt file.

"All Windows Apps" is just description to show within the Toolkit Window.

Code:

::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Function to remove a Windows Component from the Image using ToolKitHelper.exe
:: Input Parameters [ %~1 : Image Mount Path, %~2 : Component Description, %~3 : Component Name ]
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:RemoveWindowsComponent

setlocal

set ComponentName=

echo.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo.Removing %~2 Package...
echo.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%ToolKitHelper% %~1 %~3
echo.

:: Unmount Image Registry if Mounted/Abandoned
call :UnMountImageRegistry

set ComponentName=

endlocal

goto :eof
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use the ToolKitHelper directly instead of :RemoveWindowsComponent but you need to create a separate set for each editions/versions since some components don't exist in some editions/versions.

This will work

Code:

if "%ImageIndexNo%" equ "*" (
echo.
for /L %%i in (1, 1, %ImageCount%) do (
if not %ImageIndexNo% gtr 9 echo.##########################[Install.wim, Index : %%i]#############################
if %ImageIndexNo% gtr 9 echo.##########################[Install.wim, Index : %%i]############################
echo.

:: Getting Install Image Index Architecture
call :GetImageIndexInfo "%InstallWim%", %%i >nul

if "%Component%" equ "CustomSelectionRemovalScript" (
%ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" AdobeFlashForWindows;FirstLogonAnimation;WindowsMediaPlayer;CEIP_SQM;UnifiedTelemetryClient;WiFiNetworkManager;WindowsInsiderHub;StepsRecorder;ContentDeliveryManager;ECApp;EdgeDevToolsClient;MapControl;OneDrive;RetailDemoContent;SecureAssessmentBrowser;SkypeORTC;BingWeather;FeedbackHub;GetHelp;Getstarted;Maps;Messaging;OfficeHub;OneConnect;SkypeApp;ZuneMusic;ZuneVideo
echo.
)
)
) else (
if "%Component%" equ "CustomSelectionRemovalScript" (
%ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" AdobeFlashForWindows;FirstLogonAnimation;WindowsMediaPlayer;CEIP_SQM;UnifiedTelemetryClient;WiFiNetworkManager;WindowsInsiderHub;StepsRecorder;ContentDeliveryManager;ECApp;EdgeDevToolsClient;MapControl;OneDrive;RetailDemoContent;SecureAssessmentBrowser;SkypeORTC;BingWeather;FeedbackHub;GetHelp;Getstarted;Maps;Messaging;OfficeHub;OneConnect;SkypeApp;ZuneMusic;ZuneVideo
echo.
)
)

You can't comment the lines in the RemovePackages.txt, it's not supported.

 

1) Run the ToolKit and mount the source image.

2) Open a command prompt using NSudo tool with all privileges enabled and Trusted Installer as user

Run the below commands under ToolKit directory.

For W10 32-bit image

Code:

DISM /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Packs\PowerShell7\PowerShell7_w10.tpk /Index:1 /ApplyDir:Mount\Install
Reg load HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE "Mount\Install\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE"
Reg load HKLM\TK_SYSTEM "Mount\Install\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM"
Reg import Packs\PowerShell7\PowerShell7_w10_x86.reg
Reg unload HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE
Reg unload HKLM\TK_SYSTEM

For W10 64-bit image

Code:

DISM /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Packs\PowerShell7\PowerShell7_w10.tpk /Index:2 /ApplyDir:Mount\Install
Reg load HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE "Mount\Install\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE"
Reg load HKLM\TK_SYSTEM "Mount\Install\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM"
Reg import Packs\PowerShell7\PowerShell7_w10_x64.reg
Reg unload HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE
Reg unload HKLM\TK_SYSTEM

3) In ToolKit Apply-> Save and Rebuild the image and test it out.
