Unfortunately, this doesn't work on a install.wim which was captured by Sysprep. "Failed to retrieve the necessary image metadata from the install.wim"
Tool tested on a windows 10 Build 2004 French iso. had to run it in a US-win10 virtual machine, other than that it works fine. Thanks
It's a very nice script, thx Tested on a 2004 Windows 10 ISO. The only weird thing is, when i apply this "install.wim" it trows an error "Config initialize failed" and reboots... When i use the original install.wim, they apply/install without a problem. Using the same settings as per the first post. The build ISO is also not the same structure as the original, guess it's supposed to be that way? Could anyone confirm that APPLY should work? Thx.

I need to update OP but the issue may be removing the CortanaApp.View.App. Try leaving it in. I share my logs what i remove and don't remove when I get home from work. Edit: I'm a bit confused. You say it's working on the original ISO but not on which install.wim?
@KedarWolf When i apply Index 1 (Home) or Index 7 (Pro) from the Original ISO, both install just fine. Trying the same with the tweaked one (Pro N) It gives the "config initialize failed" on booting it. Testing it again without removing CortanaApp.View.App. Reporting back later on
You might want to do a Bug Report with the developer on Github. But you'll need to provide much more detail, you're being very vague, and I don't really understand what you mean. How is your Pro N install.wim 'tweaked', do you mean tweaked using Optimise Offline?
@KedarWolf Human error as usual... Removed the extra regtweaks and the unattended.xml. Leaved all as per first post and installed just fine...
Excuse my noobish question, I'm new to W10 and I'm looking for a debloater/optimizer, but what does "Offline" mean? Once I apply this method, Windows won't get automatic updates?
Offline simply refers to pre-installation while online refers to a live installation. If one is sitting in Windows, then that install is the live install while an ISO they're trying to edit for future installs is an offline copy.
Optimize-Offline, yes, that'll need to get done offline, I tend to test the ISO in a VM to confirm it behaves as to how I like. On a live install? I've heard DISM can do everything O-O is doing but I don't have any experience doing that.
Thanks. Understandably, the author of the script only maintains it for en-US. Still, I have some questions: 1) But do you know what would be involved in adapting the script for a different language (such as fr-FR)? 2) Viewed a bit differently, are there subscripts that one can reuse as they are, since they don't depend on any particular language? For instance, I assume that one can use DISM to remove Windows Apps from the WIM image contained in the iso? 3) Alternatively, could much of the same be done with NTLite?
I recently used the script to create a slimmed down Windows 10 20H1 Enterprise installation ISO, however the resulting ISO wouldn't boot in a VM unless I configured it to use UEFI instead of BIOS. Other than that everything worked correctly. Is it normal that the created ISO only seemed to work with UEFI?
