    Hello.

    I have used 23H2 Integrator 9b for a successful W11 23H2 install. Script works great, no problems with install.

    I have 1 problem and I can fix it by reinstalling OS but I want to avoid that.

    I need WebView2 runtime and I have used the "Block Edge" option in the script. So I assume it has removed Edge and all dependencies and is blocking it from being reinstalled. When I try to use MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe nothing happens, it won't install. Same thing for Edge, I thought maybe I needed to reinstall Edge but nothing happens when executing the .exe file. I don't want Edge on my machine, just WebView2. When I go to download Edge, it says on their website that Edge is already installed, but it absolutely is not on this machine.

    I thought I would be fine using this standalone runtime installer for WebView2 because I did this on a Windows 10 installation a week before this and it worked fine. No Edge was installed and the MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe installed fine on Windows 10.

    I tried using this thread: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...sm-undocumented-command-line-arguments.89048/ and tried to make an iso just like the one I used to install W11, but with "Block Edge" not on, and then use DISM to fix my install with a local mounted iso, with the /Add-WebView command, but I can't seem to get it working properly. Is this even possible? Am I on the right track here?

    Anyone here who can point me in the right direction - Is there some way to restore WebView2 without a complete OS reinstall?

    It worked !!

    Thank you so much for pointing that out to me, saved me time and headaches, I can't thank you enough. I feel silly for not searching the thread for WebView now... It didn't occur to me that perhaps someone else would have the same issue and asked about it already.

    @sergey130270 THANK YOU !!!!

    In my version of the Integrator tool, this code started to give an error:
    Code:
    ECHO.
    ECHO ====================================
    ECHO Cleanup spsuperseded of install.wim
    ECHO ====================================
    "%DISM11%" /English /Image:"%~dp0mount" /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded
    
    I tried to change it to this version of the code - it worked without errors:
    Code:
    ECHO.
    ECHO ====================================
    ECHO Cleanup spsuperseded of install.wim
    ECHO ====================================
    "%~dp0tools\%HostArchitecture%\NSudo.exe" -U:T -P:E -UseCurrentConsole -Wait reg delete /Image:"%~dp0mount" /spsuperseded\*" /f
    
    Maybe this information will help someone ...

    In fact, this command could be removed, since there is no service pack installed.

    When it runs without errors, no backup service pack is found.

    Explain what you mean by installed service pack?
    I'm installing update KB5053656 on 26100.1742 or is that not what you're talking about?

    Actually, I was interpreting the Service Pack as before, but now it is a series of LCUs applied.

    You are right, because when you have two or more LCUs installed, then the command should remove the unnecessary backups.

    A little research on the command:
    What error did you have with the command?

    I have Error: 13. I understand that this is an access rights error. So how can I raise them in this command?

    Okay, don't bother with this question. Everything works fine in your tool:
    =====================================
    Cleanup spsuperseded of install.wim
    ======================================

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.26100.2454

    Image Version: 10.0.26100.3624

    Service Pack Cleanup cannot proceed: No Service Pack backup files were found.
    The operation completed successfully.

    I work with the Business Edition.iso file in Windows 11 main system. ''Do you want DISABLE Windows Store?'' There is no difference in ''Y'' or ''N'' options in the 'option'. Both of them don't get up. I tried both ''Y'' and ''N'', but the store did not get up in both. Is this normal?

    In order to examine it I need the LOG file, please.

    I tried both (''Y'' and ''N''), but when I opened it with NTLITE, there was a store.

    Dism.log doesn't help much.

    The 24H2_Integrator script generates a log file at the end of the process or when it is interrupted.

    This file shows what is happening with the commands, since it will show all the selected options, and any errors that may have occurred.

    I don't know how you are running the script, but please read the README.txt file, which has all the instructions on how to proceed.

    Kontrol amaçlı
    "tr-tr_windows_11_business_editions_version_24h2_x64_dvd_f35a9f1b"
    seçtim ve işlemi
    "24H2_Integrator_10.2" içinden SLIM seçerek uyguladım.
    Sonuç olarak, imajın son halinde "store" uygulaması yoktu.
    Her şeyi gözden geçir tekrardan.

    For control purposes, I selected
    "tr-tr_windows_11_business_editions_version_24h2_x64_dvd_f35a9f1b"
    and applied the process by selecting SLIM from
    "24H2_Integrator_10.2".

    As a result, there was no "store" application in the final image.

    Review everything again.

    Is this Win Toolkit from MSMG or is it another one?

    Win ToolKit is a very good alternative to NTLite. Free software, the developer - is MSMG Toolkit.
