    You're using the wrong tool for converting install.esd > wim (that's what i think you wanted to accomplish?)

    The tool you used is for ESD files downloaded by windows update. Check abbodi's sig for the "esd <> wim" tool.

    ps i'm only a compulsive tester ;)

    You know what Einstein said about doing the same thing over and over again :D

    this is by design, there is nothing wrong or any problem, official microsoft ISOs have the same
    it's just a name for wim image, the OS is completely final/official and not preview

    On the other hand: MS promised that Win10 will be under construction for ever, didn't they?

    The fact is, that Win10 1511 (TH2) comes as build 10586.0 and is updated by the last cumulating patch (KB3124200) to build 10586.36.

    Hope you are no longer frustrated.

    I'm not frustrated. But where did you hear that Win10 will be under construction for ever ?

    BTW, wsus.ds. header can be discarded from link :)

    i guess the script would now need an update to differentiate pro/edu retail from volume :D
    how can the licensing be detected of ESD? :g:
    i know that education can be based on edition flag (Education_VL / Education_Retail), but what about pro?

    The flags of Education VL is either Education_VL or Education. And that of both Professional editions is Professional.

    So, one reliable way of determining whether Volume or Retail:

    Only Volume editions have the package of

    Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-EnterpriseS-GVLK-Package

    @xinso

    Which means applying the image, query about installed packages & then decide => :death:

    wimlib (and new 7-zip) can extract files of esd
    but, i think checking EI.CFG would be enough to determine volume
