Windows 10 Imaging, Customization and Deployment

So when is RSAT going to be available for Windows 10? We were getting ready to upgrade our workstations in the IT office, but just found out that RSAT doesn't exist yet.

Hi

I've created a modified install.wim using sysprep and dism containing Windows 10 Home x64 + some programs, would it be possible to add the Pro edition to it and be able to chose it in setup?

 

As long as you leave th ei.cfg out and it will ask for a KEY the KEY will auto Select the Edition, or I simply move my Multi to USB and edit the ei.cfg as i need.

 

I haven't tried that, but the original iso from Microsoft with multiple editions would show a menu to select the edition, and the wim had the 2 indexes, one for each. I think if I use a Pro key here it shouldn't work, but i may try later.

 

Has anyone found a way to do this? Really hoping MS comes up with something to make this possible.

I dont think all the settings are in the WICD. There are a few I couldnt find.

 

After testing out the Windows ADK WICD Tool to Automate/Customize the Windows 10 Installation Image, I feel Microsoft have made it more complicated to make a Automated Windows 10 Installation Image.

These I have learnt using the WICD Tool :

1) It uses a mixture of Autounattend.xml and Provisioning Package to automate the process
2) It uses two modes of settings one Image State and the other Installation State
3) It provides the option to separate Winre.wim from install.wim like WIMBOOT
4) It injects all the settings into a .ppkg file and places it an folder in the sources directory
5) .ppkg file can be opened with 7-zip software
6) .ppkg file can be run on live system too
7) WICD uses two types of method to deploy the OS with automation :

- Using the .WIM Image Format : This method will re-create the installation dvd files with boot.wim, install.wim and winre.wim (outside the install.wim) along with the Autounattended.xml and .ppkg provisioned file in a folder

- Using the .FFU Image Format (which is original a .VHD image file but with an extension .FFU) : This method will create .ffu.VHD file and then finally renames it to .ffu Image which is used in flashing to Windows Mobile/Tablet Devices

Still I haven't tried installing the generated Install WIM Image, I will test it out report back whether it works

 

Fairly certain that is why using a modified W8.1 answer file as in my case is problematic!

 

Anyone created a guide on how to use this thing? I keep getting errors 0x80070490 everytime I try to either export a package or build media. I have only been successful once in creating media with this thing.

 

I'm not really sure if this is the place to ask but I have a problem mounting Windows 10 install.wim files with dism.

I have downloaded both Windows 10 Pro and Home with the mediacreationtool in the Dutch language. Both of them are the 64 bit (only) version.

With Windows 8(.1) and Windows 8(.1) install.wim files I was always able to modify the install.wim files by mounting them with the built-in dism tool. (adding drivers, removing default apps, ...)

However on Windows 10 I can't mount the (windows 10) install.wim files. I am able to read to files with dism /get-imageinfo and it shows the correct info. Mounting them with the command dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path_to_install.wim> /index:1 /mountdir:<path_to_folder> results in error 11, attempt to load program with incorrect [mapping, format, structure] (I don't really know what the correct english translation is). I have tried with dism included in the ADK for Windows 10 but it gave the same result.

Anybody who has experienced this before? Or is this expected behavior?

Thanks in advance!

 

The media creation tool ISO are different than the MSDN ones. I am not sure whats different but none of the microsoft tools work right with them. Instead try downloading the ISO's directly by changing your browser user agent to linux firefox and just go to the media creation tool page. Since the tool cant run on Mac or linux if the server detects that OS it takes you to the ISO's instead of the actual tool.

 

With the Windows ADK 10, instead of using Imagex to rename the name and description of an image volume, it is possible to use the Dism command to do this?

Thanks

Bye

 

I'm having no trouble at all mounting or interrogating the the wim with the regular dism cmds that i use with with W8.1
e.g.

Though no joy with an answer file xml!

 

I would remove "/index:c" & see what happens...

Also, I found that the Win10 ADK did not work correctly under Win7.
I've upgraded to Win10 with the new ADK & now dism works fine.

 

Win 10 mounts perfectly ok with the code I posted above, no problem.

 

mediacreationtool produce an ESD file not a WIM (regardless if it's named install.wim)
thus, you need to name it install.esd and convert it to install.wim

 

You have to run DISM 10.X not Build 760X. - Start your CMD with "Deployment Tools\DandISetEnv.bat" Batch as intended.
