Try not removing media features(like media player for example). Also, you should really move to the MSMG thread.
Good morning, I created through the media creation tool an iso of the 20h2 version of windows 10 (Win10_20H2_v2_Italian_x64.iso) after installing it I checked its integrity through sfc /scannow, errors were found and then corrected. What I wanted to ask you is if it is normal that errors have been found in the image. Thanks in advance,
It's not normal, but it's not your fault. Unfortunately, the images of the latest versions (v2004-v20H2-v21H1) have this problem. The problem is on the Microsoft side. Images collected using uupdump.net they also have an sfc error after cleaning the image (Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup). sfc /scannow fixes the issue. (MSMG post)
Thanks for the valuable reply Can I somehow run sfc /scannow after the installation is finished? maybe using the runonce registry key?
Now I want to install more applications like 7zip or google chrome ... but using toolkit 11.4, what should I do?
I've just prepared three new images from the .928 build released yesterday (20H2). Used Toolkit 11.4 and all went fine, no issues at all. There was however a pretty steep increase in final size as compared to previous builds, 180MB for x86 and over 300MB for x64. The resulting .wim file for x64 exceeded the fat32 file size limit, so I had to convert the .wim to ESD. No biggie. Will report back after deployment. Cheers.
I finished working on this problem now in the Custom Toolkit. See if it works for you. You just need to mount everything. Follow some requests that are different with respect to the Official Toolkit. The main feature of this edition of Custom, is to select an Edition that will serve as a basis for carrying out other tasks that do not need to be repeated, such as the work in WinRE. Since they are the same in all indexes. Thus, the work will only be performed on the selected index and the optimized winre.wim will be copied to all other indexes with the same hash file. Instead of making several winre.wim with the same content, but with different hashes. You already select the indexes in the order that you want them to be in the ISO. This was also not working properly. But now it has become TOP. I'll post soon.
1. i thought that MSMG Toolkit already copied the serviced winre.wim to all other mounted indexes. 2. not only different hashes but the size of each different winre.wim will be added to the end iso and the more winre.wim files are not the same the higher the iso filesize will be.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-04-14 Architecture check added in the integration and removal functions. Having eliminated several redundant architecture check entries, other important ones remain in the usual places. Corrected a problem in the reordering of the indexes (the images were not exported in the order predefined by the user), at the time of Un-mount & Saving, according to the selection made by the user at the beginning of the service. Problem that affected the optimization of ImageIndexes for the unselected trim indexes mode, solved. Problem of automatic nomenclature when opening the Custom Toolkit just to produce your ISO, also solved. Note: this problem was not seen when you finished and created the ISO. Only if you closed the CustomToolkit and opened it again in order to save the ISO. Fixed minor aestetical typos. When I needed to free up space on my ssd, I moved the entire ToolKit (80gb packs) to 2Tb 7200 RPM storage. I had a performance problem ... Now, working the ISOs directly from this one, I realized realistically that this type of HD is not for productivity, hehehe. In this way, I implemented a small conversion that makes things simpler. You can put the folder of your Toolkit in storage different from your main SSD, however when performing the tasks everything will be on the SSD. Only the ISOsource and saving the ISOs to the ISOsaves folder will remain in the Toolkit folder within the storage of your choice. To take advantage of this scheme in the Custom Toolkit. "[1] Source" --> "[3] Extract Source from DVD ISO Image" That will be in the ISOsource or ISO folder (just an .ISO file must be present in one of these folders) you can choose. Then you will see that the ISO will be extracted to %SystemDRIVE%\Toolkit\W_InstallMedia So, "[1] Source" --> "[1] Select Source from ^<DVD^> Folder" to set up the indexes that you want to work with. Since CustomToolkit is a fork of OfficialToolkit, I decided to change the name of "DVD" to "W_InstallMedia" because "DVD" reminds me of the old and obsolete thing. After that when you mount your images, they will be on the path below, at high speed performing the tasks of the toolkit, and your drive will be with plenty of free space, hehehehe %SystemDRIVE%\Toolkit\Mount %SystemDRIVE% = By default it would be C:\ Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-04-09 Integrate "Windows Setup Media Updates", now works when we are working with multi index images. As "WinRE.wim" is identical for all editions, all the code works on top of just one mounted "WinRE.wim" and at the end (Un-mount & Saving), after its optimization, it is copied to all selected indexes that are mounted . It's very simple! At the moment, when you select which indexes to work with, you can also select which index will serve as the source for "WinRE.wim" and for "Integrate Windows Setup Media Updates". Considering that I use the ISOs obtained through UUP Dump as a source, we have that all Image Indexes come from Home and Pro, so I always select Pro. But it is optional, do your tests. What is the advantage of this optimization? 1. Avoid closing an install.wim image with several "winre.wim" files with identical contents but with different hashes. 2. Optimize our working time when doing our ISOs. The repetition of identical work is avoided.

If you want to install another edition on a notebook with Product Key in the BIOS, this file is required. Otherwise, a multi edition ISO will only present the option related to the Product Key of that BIOS. Also added an option to create a file with a list of the choices you made. It is easier than copying the list that appears on the screen.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-03-16 Merged with Toolkit 11.3 and 11.4. *Some Custom Toolkit Tweaks and Remove Menu minor fixes and code improvement. Returned to the Toolkit standard aspect Ratio. In this way, all the menus that require more space to show the menus on the screen, have been divided into more screens. just press B to Back and N to Next. This, just to avoid the use of scrolling with each choice made in the menu, which you are working on. Get ImageBuild from updated Image system, implemented to correct the error in the automated making ISO label and file name. All the environment and path variables for the packs were concentrated in some sessions, at the beginning of the custom toolkit. This way it is easier to reset the variables at each integration performed. Also so that the multiple choice system facilitates the multiple integration of features sequentially. Multiple choice has been implemented within the integrate menu, for all features that are submenus. In other words, if it is a sub menu, a negative sign will appear as a default. If it is to integrate this signal it will become positive. To apply the integration you must go back to the "Integrate Menu" and choose "Start Integration". In the options without signaling, integration will occur as soon as you select. These are the submenus mentioned: IntLanguagePacksMenu (tested) IntDriversMenu IntInboxAppsMenu IntRSATMenu IntOfficeUWPAppsMenu IntDaRTMenu (tested) IntThinPCpkgsMenu IntGamesMenu (tested) IntCustomFeaturesMenu (tested) Note: As I said earlier in the post below, these changes were made in order to implement the multiple choice system in the menus but there may be variables that do not get the values set and end up breaking something. We always think that we thought of all the possibilities until we found something new to be corrected or improved. As I said before, I can't test everything here for lack of storage space. Then, for final images of daily use, make integrations with the Official Toolkit. Removal, Customizations, Tweaks, can be done with Custom, if you want. So, it is necessary that this part be tested by volunteers. I am grateful for the feedbacks. Thnks!
Yes. I followed that example. However, this example is only present in the option to implement a custom WinRE. In other integration works, for example, there was an integration for each index and its respective winre image. So, I modified all the integrations to work on top of one that is the user's option, and at the end: 1. Unmount and save that winre.wim 2. Optimize winre.wim 3. Copy winre.wim to all indexes. 4. Unmount and save each index. 5. Optimize install.wim by exporting each index. That's why I thought it would be interesting to change the optimization scheme. But I wasn't sure until I got the results, a little while ago when I finished the tests. Also, I didn't know how to express myself like you. These words of yours, fit perfectly. In my mind, I kept the word ...: hashes, hashes, hashes ... In a continuous loop. heheheh
the iso size increase just because microsoft integrated edge chromium C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-edgechromium_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.928_none_ddb08bafba9680e6 C:\Windows\WinSxS\Manifests\amd64_microsoft-windows-edgechromium_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.928_none_ddb08bafba9680e6.manifest
Thanks for linking, that actually makes sense. So it appears that it's not an issue with the toolkithelper, just a change (embedded WIM) in the way MS included EdgeChromium in the CU. Cheers.
I don't know if that would make any sense in your case. Since you didn't describe how you modify your iso image using the Toolkit - whether you integrate it at this stage .Net 3.5 and .Net Cummulative, or not. Whether you remove some components or not. Whether you plan to use the CU installation from the Update Center in the future, or not. I see it more logical - immediately after installing the OS, enable Net 3.5 and install the latest .Net Cummulative update, as well as other components that you may need (.NET 5, and so on), if all this was not done at the stage of preparing the image using the Toolkit. And then perform image cleanup: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup And only then perform a check and fix using: sfc /scannow (After each image cleanup run, you will get an sfc error, which you will have to fix again with sfc /scannow)
