Learn to use the lists. Just like everyone else uses. Read the main post. Look at the toolkit folders. There is a readme explaining what each type of list is for and there are template lists there. Use search. He develops and doesn't receive a cent for it. Use whoever want. Take advantage of the tool's potential by learning to use it first. Constructive criticisms can be made after you review these steps. You are welcome. You arrived and posted... Without even reading the latest comments. There is mention of these matters, already answered directly by the MSMG. There is also another way out... When something doesn't suit you, look for an alternative or DIY do it yourself. Grateful for the attention!
Read the main post. Nothing mentioned about using lists. Looked at the toolkit folders. I see a bunch of lists in the bin folder without so much as an explanation of how to use them or even what the items in the lists are actually for. Looked at the read me. Once again, no mention of lists or even how to use them. And if you think i'm searching through over 800 pages of posts to try and figure it out, you are wrong. I can only take advantage of the tools potential if it's explained to me how i'm supposed to do that. He gives 0 instructions on lists or how to use them. Unless you have some type of top secret read me file that didn't come with the toolkit in which case maybe you can share that.
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-874#post-1630633 You just had to have read the last few messages... It could be one to three pages. The blue arrows pointing upwards will take you to the messages quoted and you will find what you are looking for. Something simple. You would find it. But you were lazy. You want things right in your hands, without doing research. In the main post is the resource spoiler. This mentions about the ability to remove components via lists. And you didn't read it. Use ctrl + f to find the word "list"... You were arrogant before and now again. Someone will help you more if you are willing to be polite. Everyone follows the development of the tool, and there will always be problems. Wait for the release of the next edition. No more, for today!
So, let me get this straight. You're the one name-calling but i'm the one being rude? Seems legit. No matter how much you want to believe it's a fact, there's still nothing in the first post explaining lists. The post you linked to only solves one of the issues. It doesn't solve the fact that you could create an iso in under 2 hours or so with the old versions and now this current one seems to take the better part of a day. It certainly doesn't look like using lists changes that in the slightest.
You could've started by asking how to remove everything quick, here in the forum. I too faced the same problem of spending too much time until I started going over the forums and found out that I can use lists to make the whole process a lot faster. Sometimes, curiosity and patience can be better than irritation.
Is the ToolKit able to remove Edge Chromium from the 2020 H2 install.wim? I selected the option to do this, and Edge is still present. I also mounted the image and ran ToolKitHelper.exe [mounted image location] Edge. This indicated success, but Edge is still there for a fresh install.
No idea how I missed this, but it's too late at night for me to do any testing now. I plan to test tomorrow and report back In future maybe post #1 could let us know of updated files (such as ToolKitHelper.exe), if they are beta or stable and a small advisory note to indicate the changes?
@MSMG - Is it advisable to clean the image windows folder when applying and saving changes to source images ?. What purpose does this function serve ?. Thank you.
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.
This just cleans up the Windows\WinSxS folder to remove the temporary and log files generated when updates are integrated.
Hi so we have to do the same process used in the launch of the W10 LTSC (17763.1) because this way there were no errors so the same applies in this new version correct
