    Because the ISO is created locally from the esd files and each and every iso you create will have different checksums.

    Can these ESD's be used with a KMS to activate them?

    oh... so I think I misunderstood the meaning of the ESD file, because I thought it was updated untill July 2017, like an UpdatePack.

    well... is there any "Simplix Like" UpdatePack for Windows 8.1 ??
    to slipstream hotfixes from official Update 3 ISO to June/July 2017.

    Hi everyone.

    I'm looking for a Windows 8 RT ESD or ISO (8, not 8.1). Does anyone know where I may find this?

    Also, does Windows 8.1 with Bing have an IR5 or IR4 ESD or ISO? I've only been able to find IR3 for it.

    Thanks for all your help!

    What's the process for acquiring the download URL for an ESD?

    Also, when I convert the IR5 Windows RT ESD to an ISO, the ISO says it is IR4. Why is this so?

    Initiate Store upgrade from Windows 8, and use Fiddler/Wireshark to capture link

    or initiate the Store upgrade within Windows 8.1, then get link from DataStore.edb (you may use ESEDatabaseView or ESD Download Links Viewer)

    what script you used to convert?
    IIRC, i never included CoreARM as supported edition

    I used the decryption package you linked in Step 1 of 'HOW TO USE' and the ESD for 'Windows 8.1 RT (ARM)' listed with the other IR5 ESDs.

    Well, the script determine the label based on SPBUILD value reported by install.wim (index 4 in ESD)
    it seems it still at 17056 = IR4
    cosmetic issue

    nevertheless, i think Windows 8.1 RT OS doesn't allow the regular boot setup process to install, it needs to be booted in recovery environment
    so the resulted ISO from decryption package won't be proper for that
