MSMG ToolKit

Since the removal data added in the code is pre-processed and not at runtime, removing the components from a image with a older or newer CU version can break the functionality of updating the system.

That's why I had set the removal to only the base images but since many couldn't get the base images properly, I updated it to the current CU.

Will add the support for the Base version along with current stable CU in future.

 

Due to the forum post content length restrictions and since the Toolkit is a complex tool, it is not possible to cover the usage instructions of all the features included in the Tool in the first post.

A Toolkit Documentation PDF is under is in progress and will be included with the Tool in future version.

It's always better to check back the recent few pages of the thread to know the recent issues or solutions that might have been reported after the release of a new version of the Tool.

The removal process takes more time due to the new version of code protections added to the Tool to protect the source code of the Tool.

Component category removal is broken due to a unknown bug and as a workaround you can use the List method to remove the components faster.

Check in [Bin\Lists\ToolKitHelper_Templates] folder and choose the list according to your OS and copy the required entries to RemovePkgsList.txt in [Bin\Lists] folder.

Now use the Remove->Remove Windows Components using Package List->Remove Windows Components using Package List (ToolkitHelper Method) menu.

 

Copy the new version of ToolkitHelper.exe from the download link to the Tookit's Bin folder and then remove the components.

 

Yes will clear some space in first post to add the minor updates info.

 

This just cleans up the Windows\WinSxS folder to remove the temporary and log files generated when updates are integrated.

 

The recent errors with LTSC were due to non-removal of localized resources which where not present in the en-us language, now everything has been fixed.

Right now you can use the image with CU supported by ToolkitHelper and then install or integrate the latest update But if you install or integrate the latest update and then remove the ToolkitHelper then it may give error depending on the changes in the newer CU.

 

The fix is available in next release, in case needed early just replace the original lines with these ones
