[Q & REQ] Windows 8.1 with Bing

Hi,

I made Bing French ISO with abbodi1406 script (from English IMG) but I added French language for Modern UI apps too (by copying install.wim\Program Files\WindowsApps\*language* from a french ISO with right ACL).

MDL said me it's not allowed, so I removed links and uploaded torrents on TPB.

 

Homebrew isos are not allowed on MDL, please respect the rules here and delete this post. thx

 

OK, it's fixed

 

Does this works? i tried it myself but this caused all the Apps to broke and disappear of the system and needs to install fresh from Store

 

In fact, it's because we must copy "install.wim\Program Files\WindowsApps\*language*" with the right ACL, through Robocopy for example.

During my tests, at the beginning I had the same problem : after Windows was installed, there was not any Modern UI installed.
I copied folders again with Robocopy (/MIR /COPYALL) and now it works.

Edit : do you want the AutoIt script that helped me to copy *language* folders ?

 

That would be helpfull, preferably the source .au3

 

It's basic but it done the work :

AutoIt source :

Code:

;I suggest to compile that script and run it with special account "SYSTEM", for example with the freeware "nircmdc.exe" (nirsoft.net)
;Also you must change $src_dir and $target_dir with the right paths, or maybe integrate that script with yours...

$src_dir = "C:\mnto\Program Files\WindowsApps"
$target_dir = "C:\mntb\Program Files\WindowsApps"


Func IsDir($object)
   $object_attribute = FileGetAttrib($object)
   If StringInStr($object_attribute, "D") Then
  Return True
   Else
  Return False
   EndIf
EndFunc

FileChangeDir($src_dir)

$search = FileFindFirstFile("*language*")

If ($search = -1) Then
   MsgBox(16, "No folder found", "No folder match...")
   Exit
EndIf

While 1
   $dir = FileFindNextFile($search)
   If @error Then ExitLoop
   If IsDir($dir) Then
  $dir_src_full = $src_dir & "\" & $dir
  $dir_target_full = $target_dir & "\" & $dir
  If Not FileExists($dir_target_full) Then DirCreate($dir_target_full)
  ShellExecuteWait('robocopy', '"' & $dir_src_full & '" "' & $dir_target_full & '" /MIR /COPYALL')
   EndIf
WEnd

MsgBox(64, "Copy completed", "Folders copy is done", 5)

Warning : you must be sure to copy folders from a Windows 8.1 Update ISO, with exactly same Modern UI apps versions.

 

I have it on my HDD only, it would take several hours to upload and beginning right now...

 

SVF's can be made in any combination of these 3

Code:

and in either direction of these 2 if needed as well.

Code:

bdc1e5fdbc1fad5fe26155bab6dab7d95f434dea *X19-57272_SW_DVD9_NTRL_WIN_WITH_BING_8.1_64BIT_ENGLISH_OEM.IMG

Not sure of sizes, but would be worth a try if need arises .

Thank You!
I want to inform that the November images do not fit. Problem is in metro apps. After installing Windows, they are not present on the start screen.

 

Well, Bing images has different Apps version than latest ISOs

you can cut this part out of the script to avoid modifying Apps:

Spoiler

Code:

echo.
echo ============================================================
echo Mount install.wim of target ISO
echo ============================================================
echo.
"%DISMRoot%" /ScratchDir:"%DISMTEMPDIR%" /Mount-Wim /Wimfile:"%DVDDIR%\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"%SECMOUNTDIR%"
if errorlevel 1 goto :E_MOUNT
echo.
echo ============================================================
echo Copy Store Apps language resources
echo ============================================================
echo.
cd /d "%~dp0dism"
nircmdc.exe elevatecmd runassystem hstart.exe /NOCONSOLE /WAIT "%windir%\system32\robocopy.exe "%SECMOUNTDIR%\Program Files\WindowsApps" "%INSTALLMOUNTDIR%\Program Files\WindowsApps" /MIR /COPYALL"
nircmdc.exe wait 90000

:timer
nircmdc.exe wait 30000
%windir%\system32\tasklist.exe /FI "IMAGENAME eq hstart.exe" | find /I "hstart.exe" >NUL
if %errorlevel%==0 goto :timer

cd /d "%~dp0"
echo.
echo ============================================================
echo Discard install.wim of target ISO
echo ============================================================
echo.
"%DISMRoot%" /ScratchDir:"%DISMTEMPDIR%" /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:"%SECMOUNTDIR%" /Discard
if errorlevel 1 goto :E_UNMOUNT

make sure you leave this line:

Code:

DEL /F /Q "%DVDDIR%\sources\install.wim" >nul
