You can remove store for sure from the wim and activate.. I have done so. Haven't removed defender so can't say for sure. But doubt it would make any difference.
I just use DISM.. ( a little tool called "install_wim_tweaker" can be used to un-hide al the packages ) but I am on with doing it manually. First thing I do to my install.wim image which is from I export the pro index and work solely on that.
Get more satisfaction doing it ya sen. have a good look round the windows 10 section and you should be able to pick up all the info you need.
I know that but not all people can grab what they learnt right. so if you can upload that perfect iso im really appreciated that.
I did tried myself but always failed... Code: C:\10\Waik_4_1\amd64\Dism>Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\myimage.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\test\offline Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Error: 11 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log C:\10\Waik_4_1\amd64\Dism> you know how to solve this ?
I see your trying this on an offline image. Change your folder structure. At the ROOT of C make these DIR C:\DISM C:\DISM\install.wim C:\DISM\mount place your install.wim file in the install.wim folder copy this code into a notepad document and "save as .cmd" Call it what you will. i.e "Mount install.wim Then Pause" This will mount your install.wim file into C:\DISM\mount to un-mount there are two basic commands this commits any changes made to the install.wim that unmounts the install.wim WITHOUT saving any changes. save these as .cmd also Save the files into C:\DISM and right click run as admin. Used that setup for many years now, works perfectly for me.
Code: C:\DISM>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\DISM\install.wim\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\DISM\mount Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.10240.16384 Error: 11 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log C:\DISM>pause Press any key to continue . . . What now ? Had been tried for days now still couldnt make it. Im copy the install.wim right from the windows10 iso file... is that true?
Your code My code Yes extract the install.wim from your iso image.. did you make the DIR I suggested ? If so copy my code into notepad save it as a .cmd put this file into the DISM folder, right click run as admin..
are you running a Windows 8 OS or Win 10 OS ? Not sure but I think Win 8 DISM.exe does not work on Win 10 images ??? I have not tried using the Win 10 DISM.exe on a Win 8 OS....Might just try that now
Good you running Win 10.. a .cmd is a command prompt file. It saves having to type it out all the time. once saved as a .cmd the icon should look like two little cog wheels. Be sure to run it as ADMIN - right click run as admin I have had no bother what so ever with that script I gave you. There are other tools with nice gui's which can do the same. You may find them easier to use.
Code: C:\DISM>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\DISM\install.wim\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\DISM\mount Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.10240.16384 Error: 11 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log C:\DISM>pause Press any key to continue . . . Yeah i know what cmd is and im allready run as admin. can you show your result after you mount the wim cuz im weird the code ^^ not the same as i save in cmd.
I have just Googled DISM error 11 It mentions having a mist match of x32 OS and trying to amend a x64 image. Did you say you were running Win 10 x64 ? Never seen this error so I don't really know
