That's not the tool of this thread, it probably uses the same fixes (UFWS) this original tool uses (among other fixes), it make setup believe the installation is server so the hardware requierments are circumvented.
The present implementation requests that the iso image be copied/moved to the Source_ISO folder. Issue may occur if no housekeeping is done in this folder : the script may process an incorrect iso image if remaining imags are present. As a work around, the implementation of a file browser can help to select the correct iso image in the Source_ISO folder. Moreover, this offers the possibility to select an iso image from any folder of the local or network attached devices, avoiding the need to copy/move to the Source_ISO folder. Implementing the file browser needs to introduce some powershell statements to return the full path of the desired iso image to process. Detail of changes to be applied : Spoiler Code: Insert before original line 1 : @SET "Select_ISO=yes" &@rem the variable Select_ISO is defined @rem If the variable Select_ISO is not defined (ie set "Select_ISO="), the iso @rem image must be available in the Source_ISO folder. @rem If the vatiable is defined, an grid is displayed to select @rem the iso image. Change original line 12 by : SET "Version=v6.1" Insert before original line 40 IF DEFINED Select_ISO goto iso_select Insert after original line 47 : for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b Source_ISO\*.iso') do set "ISO_Path=Source_ISO\%%i"&goto Preparing :iso_select set "s=[void](Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms);" set "s=%s%$FB=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog;" set "s=%s%$FB.Title='Select the Windows iso image';" rem set "s=%s%$FB.InitialDirectory=\"%~dp0Source_ISO\";" set "s=%s%$FB.Multiselect=$false;" set "s=%s%$FB.Filter='ISO images (*.iso)|*.iso';" set "s=%s%If($FB.ShowDialog() -ne 'Cancel'){$FB.filename}" for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell -c "%s%"') do set "ISO_Path=%%i" if /i not "%ISO_Path:~-4%"==".iso" ( ECHO. ECHO ========================================================= ECHO No iso file detected ... ECHO ========================================================= ECHO. GOTO :cleanup ) Change original line 163 by : bin\7z.exe e -y -oTEMP "%Source_ISO%" sources\setup.exe >nul Change original line 203 by : bin\7z x -y -oWork\ "%Source_ISO%" Change original lines 411 to 414 by : for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell -c "(Get-ChildItem \"%ISO_Path%\").BaseName+\"_FIXED_\"+(get-date -format yyyy_MM_dd)"') do set "isoname=%%i.ISO" A copy of the proposed script is available here :
My problem is that when i entirely cut out the ISO_Source folder i am always renaming other ISOs to .bak to have the correct .ISO to be be processed, that is the reason i kept the ISO_Source folder. I will try your changes asap You did suggest these changes before and i said that i can't read / change / maintain it, but these days i can hardly litterally read code (long lines and large blocks of code in specific) so i will have to start accepting these changes/improvements.
I remember your precedent anwser and respect your point of view. The proposed change is small and the browsing of the Source_ISO folder is proposed as the default choice.
Please allow me some time to check it, i have a long list of tests to do and tonight a new IP release is expected (so hoping that there won't be ISOs too).
The download link of Buzzheavier says the file doesnt exist. Also, why isnt this working for the IoT versions ? It create a 0 bytes file, but no errors are displayed.
That means the file has expired, the mega link will work fine. IoT versions of windows 11 24H2 don't enforce the system requirements like tpm 2.0 and efi, but it doesn't hurt to fix them either.

hello friends. i had used some time ago this tool to upgrade my notebook from a 23h2 version of windows 11 to 24h2. now i have been asked to install a windows 11 on a friend's pc and i plan to do it via the classic usb pendrive that i will use with Rufus. if i have understood correctly, especially reading the last pages, using the current version of rufus i don't need to use this tool to patch the iso but rufus already does everything? excuse the stupid question but when you are not behind it daily i get a bit confused.
yes rufus does this just check option to skip tpm. i have used this tool when i want to patch a iso to use as installation in a virtual machine.
This doesn't work anymore with updated 23H2, never mind 25H2. Specifically it doesn't work with en-us_windows_11_business_editions_version_23h2_updated_sep_2025_x64_dvd_073234fb.iso from massgrave repo. Setup.exe will still bitch about TPM no matter the registry. For in-place upgrade at least.
I see i forgot to release the 6.1 version with the new Source ISO selection method by @rpo, will do this asap No other changes were done in 6.1.
instead of just saying that it doesn't work show the procedure just like @Enthousiast always does. That way we may be able to find out where you went wrong
Method 2 still works, on VirtualBox, too (which is more b*tchy when it comes to checks). Just don't forget to run the additional script copied to the root of the ISO, just before setup.exe.
