This is my (some sort of) report regarding MSMG 11.4 / 11.5 / 11.6 after almost 2 weeks of testing. I hope this info will help. The problem was that I couldn't get an working ISO in 90% of cases. I've got mixed results even creating a simple ISO with basic steps / commands: like creat a Pro version ISO and triming the other versions from original ISO. Testing the resulted ISO using a VM: BSOD (Config Initialization Failed). Testing on a real pc / laptop / notebook: bootloop after 1st reset at the end of 1st stage of setup. I did LOTS of tests mixing / updating / downgrading / all the files in the BIN folder. For all tests I used exactly the same conditions from start to the end. What I've found: - DISM doesn't "like" if system temporary folder is on a RAM disk; - DISM doesn't "like" if 8dot3Name policy is set on the partition that is used by system temporary folder; And finaly the solution for the problem above was to replace the following files in MSMG \ BIN folder: wimgapi.dll \ x64 \ imagex.exe \ x64 \ oscdimg.exe \ x64 \ DISM \ [all files] The source for the above files was last version of ADK (for the target OS - 21H1 in this case) available on MS site. Note: The host OS is x64 and target OS is x64 too. After replacing those files the MSMG is working flawless. --------- Thanks to dev for this tool, and I hope that in future will not be included files from multiple ADKs.
Windows resource protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. I received errors when running sfc /scannow. What components are safe to removal and the underlying issue to cause my sfc scannow to receive errors? @MSMG I used as my install image, windows 10 ltsc 2019 1809 10.0.17763.1. 1. Integrated Win32 Calc 2. Updated Windows 3. Component removal
Using Softperfect ramdisk for a full year and never had a problem with it. I do three or four builds every month and all work fine, besides the sfc issues but that's a Toolkit issue, not ramdisk related. Besides that my temp folder is also on the same ramdisk. The process is so much faster, wouldn't go back to using my spinner. Cheers.
Got a new Firefox crash today. Upgrading from v78.11.0esr to 78.12.0esr. see screen shot. Firefox still works ok despite the install error. I don't suppose you use Malware Bytes do you? I used to use Softperfect ramdisk, but Malware Bytes couldn't handle it and would BSOD my PC every time it tried to do a scan.
Nope, Malwarebytes is OK but I don't use it anymore. My current AV does interfere with the Toolkit though, but simply turning it of during the process is enough to get a good build. I hope MSMG will be back soon. Cheers.
Just knew about your father loss, @MSMG Please accept my condolences. And thank you, one more time, for your wonderful tool. I also just read that nowadays UUP iso's are recommended instead of MCT ones. Do you know if those have .NET updates applied? Or only CU for Win itself? Thanks beforehand
@MSMG We are deeply sorrowful for your loss. Please accept our condolences, be strong in this time of sorrow. We all share in your grief.
You can choose inclusion of .net 3.5 when requesting the download package. In that case, .Net updates for that version will be included. If the .iso has any .Net version included, updates will be applied if you have chosen to do so. In other words, you can select if you want updates or not. Cheers.
Depending on the OS version, .Net 4.6-4.8 will be included by default and as such, updates will be integrated for that version. As for Net 5.0, it is a separate package so you can integrate it with the toolkit. Not sure if 5.0 receives .Net CU, I have only seen updated builds like 5.07 for integration with the toolkit. Edit: I've posted this question in the uupdump topic, just to make sure. Edit 2: Answered already. Only when you provide the NDP CU in the UUPs folder yourself. Only base builds in the dev channel got NDP48 updates by UUP. Hope this clears up any doubts, thanks Enthousiast for the prompt response. Cheers.
I'm slightly out-of-the-loop with getting the latest Toolkit to work. So to put this in recap: 1. I have to download the latest Toolkit .7z file from the MEGA mirror, unblock it and extract the contents to (say) C:\Toolkit\ 2. I also have to download the Toolkit.cmd file (also from the MEGA mirror), unblock it and overwrite the file in C:\Toolkit\ 3. Then, to the latest Toolkit.cmd, i have to apply the fixes from https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-992#post-1671669 Is that right or am i missing something here?
This is a very nice piece of software. I have one question. When apps are being removed like components (Camera, Xbox, etc.) and other features like OneDrive and Windows Defender. Upon next Windows 10 update, will all these features be replaced? Or can I simply use Chris Titus Tec Debloater tool to disable features updates and only allow security updates?
I am also getting errors when trying to uninstall windows app (Maps, Feedback Hub, etc.) I did not do this before and I am stuck?
pl try on win10 Host OS to remove metro apps , system apps , packages from 22000.xx build i think it will resolve the issue.
