Today I downloaded a TH2 AiO (x86 & x64) in German via MCT with Install.ESD in both branches. When I tried to convert them to *.WIM with esd-decrypter-wimlib-11b I got the error "ESD file does not have original structure (4 or 5 images)." Any solution?
That install.esd file is not the same esd as these esd files. The install.esd can simply be converted (exported) to instal.wim with maximum compression by using this DISM commandline: Commandline to convert install.esd > install.wim: Code: dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:x:\install.esd /sourceindex:y /destinationimagefile:z:\install.wim /compress:max /checkintegrity This can only be done on a running windows 10 (or win 10 adk installed).
@Enthousiast, Abodi1406: Thanks for your quick answers. Now it worked for me on Win8.12-x64 ProWMC by using DISM v10.0.10240.16384. Regards, Nemo_G
@abbodi1406 As Windows Media Creation Tool now offers to create x86+x64 ISO, can be possible to imitate it? Historically Microsoft always stays away from this practice, but this is the first time when official channel supports doing it. I've tested personally, but I think they should solve the classic x64 recovery mode problem in a decent way.
You mean a sctipt to imitate it? i didn't tested it, nor interested in what's the iso structure contents? and the boot options? Code: \boot\bcd
The W10 MCT can do this for months now, I use the basic structure for all my w10 releases from the start.
Wait, doesn't it appear after 10586 release? @abbodi1406 I haven't tried myself, will do. I'm sure you'll get necessary info meanwhile.

Both architectures contain Core & Professional Build 10586.0 Unfortunately the MCT version contains Install.ESDs instead of *.WIMs. So you have to convert them before integrating patches, drivers and tweaks. That's why I prefer to make a basic AiO (enriched with some features) with a batch file according to my description at Win-Lite.de *). It was inspired by Bezelbube(at)win-lite.de.

Thanks for that can you list the boot options? you need to extract/copy both boot and efi folders out of iso then run this from admin cmd in the extraction location: Code: bcdedit /store boot\bcd /enum all bcdedit /store efi\microsoft\boot\bcd /enum all
