As always, I'll maintain my 15063.0 ISO and use the abbodi tool for integrate the updates. The size of the ISO is lower always.
Why is the name of the ISO different from ESD? For example ESD "15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_" but the created ISO "15063.0.170317-1834.RS2_RELEASE_"
AFAIK, current script version gives this iso name, which is close enough 15063.483.170711-0645.rs2_release_svc_refresh
Writing 1712 files in 99 directories to 15063.0.170317-1834.RS2_RELEASE_CLIENTCOMBINEDSL_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
I'm not really familiar with M$ nomenclature. So I'll ask @abbodi1406 , are you going to update your script ESD > ISO?
esd-decrypter-wimlib-30 - Fixed label for 15063 july refresh ESD (i wonder why they changed BuildLabEx registry back to rtm 15063) - Implemented workaround to unify different winre.wim accross multiple editions iso if (for any reason) you don't want this, edit decrypt.cmd and change the option to SET CheckWinre=0 - Replaced DISM with imagex (for checking dual architecture ESDs)

I have a question that may offend some people, but here goes: I've been on MDLF since 2012, but never had the courage to ask for sounding dumb. What are ESD files used for and can I convert them to ISOs, and next question, can I combine both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures on one ISO, and if so, how to do that, provided that it's no really involved. Lastly, can I combine both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures of Office 2016 on one ISO? I would really appreciate any and all assistance concerning this matter. I am learning a lot on MDLF, even though it may be at a slower pace than most. Thank You.
ESD files are the files downloaded by WU or Upgrade Assistant and MCT, they are used by the programs to create iso's from, like the MediaCreationTool does, You also can download them manually and use them with @abbodi1406's ESD>ISO Decrypter, you can create multi-architecture iso's by putting the x86 and x64 ESD (they have to be the same editions) next to the script and when you run it. it will offer you to create a multi-architecture iso. For office questions please go to the office part of the board
Thank you very much for a quick response. Is therer a ISO>WIM so I can use "WinAIO Maker"? Am I making this more complicated than what it really is? If so, please let me know. I like to know how to do things BEFORE I make an attempt at doing things. I know, my issue!
you can use tool called ultraiso or poweriso to extract install.wim file from the iso so that you can use it for WinAIO maker to integrate other wim images and create new AIO iso.
I never use those tools, the iso's made from the clientcombined esd's contain all sku's except enterprise, you can easily export the enterprise index to the clientcombined one and you have all sku's in one index. If you made a multi-architecture iso, you can do it for both install.wims.
