What exactly does "Importing Custom App Associations" do? It sounds like of self-explanatory, but is it for UWP or legacy app association?

 

I'm just a normal user but look in Content\CustomAppAssociations.xml for the answer to your question. @gdeliana

 

You choose the default program for file types with that xml.
In OO tool this is the part of code that takes care of that:

Code:

If (Test-Path -Path $OptimizeOffline.CustomAppAssociations)
        {
            Log $OptimizeData.ImportingCustomAppAssociations
            $RET = StartExe $DISM -Arguments ('/Image:"{0}" /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:"{1}" /ScratchDir:"{2}" /LogPath:"{3}" /LogLevel:1' -f $InstallMount, $OptimizeOffline.CustomAppAssociations, $ScratchFolder, $DISMLog)
            If ($RET -ne 0) { Log $OptimizeData.FailedImportingCustomAppAssociations -Type Error; Start-Sleep 3 }
        }

Seems like its using DISM with Import-DefaultAppAssociations switch.

Should work in W10, but am not sure for W11. Will check it.

Something that I believe will note what version of the tool one is using (specifically your version) is to add (e.g) "gdeliana-7.1" to \Src\Public\Write-Log.ps1 (line 26). Thoughts?

Code:

Running Module : $($OptimizeOffline.BaseName) $($ManifestData.ModuleVersion) $($Your version)

 

Thanks mate!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!

 

What type of partition structure is there? I have tried with my usb having multiple FAT32 partitions and everything works. In the background i am just using diskpart for cleaning up the USB.

This can be a good reason to have a new page in the gui to make these editable from there.

 

Yesterday I found a post from AveYo [2022-06-03], with this modification about TPM.

About: edit it and put your region, user etc
I have in my package (IMCK), all the parts with a readme of the information to be changed by the user. Perhaps this already helps you in your work in advance.

ExtraUtilities.zip --> AutoUnattend - ReadMe.txt

 

Try the new answer file i added in master branch, unattend_basic, rename it to Unattend.xml and then run the script with the enabled option to apply answer file.
