    Q: How to make standalone ChromiumEdge package (edge.wim) Microsoft installed to some old Server 2022 Preview?

    Fact:
    I found Microsoft installed it without leaving setup files in system.

    1. HWID for all. VM and PC.

    2. set-edition key is default key defined in Default-Package. No need to install.

    e.g.
    Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Enterprise-Default-Package

    Unless Businees ISO which the GVLK key is installed by a seperate GVLK package.

    C:\Windows\System32\xx-XX\Licenses\%Channel%\%SKU%\license.rtf

    xx-XX = Default installed language
    %Channel% = _Default (Retail)\OEM\Volume
    %SKU% = Core\Pro\EnterpriseS\ServerDatacenter (NOT Virtual SKUs)

    Then system search the license.rtf in C:\Windows\System32.

    If correct license.rtf found in C:\Windows\System32 = passed
    If correct license.rtf NOT found in C:\Windows\System32 = the error prompt OOBEEULA

    e.g. en-US IoTEnterpriseS OEM, a Virtual SKU of EnterpriseS

    So check if following license.rtf is existent:

    C:\Windows\System32\en-US\Licenses\OEM\EnterpriseS\license.rtf

    PS.
    Sometimes, the error may be caused by an official system. Then copy correct license.rtf to C:\Windows\System32\ before start insallation.

    How the "correct" is defined? Where should I look for CRC/SHA/MD5 of correct license.rtf file?
    I do have files with correct folder names. Probably wrong files..

    SKU in C:\Windows\servicing\Editions, and C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\skus.

    Core (Parent)
    CoreSingleLanguage (Virtual)

    C:\Windows\System32\xx-XX\Licenses\_Default\Core


    Professional (Parent)
    Education (Virtual)
    Enterprise (Virtual)
    ProfessionalCountrySpecific (Virtual)
    ProfessionalEducation (Virtual)
    ProfessionalSingleLanguage (Virtual)
    ProfessionalWorkstation (Virtual)
    ServerRdsh (Virtual)

    C:\Windows\System32\xx-XX\Licenses\_Default\Professional


    EnterpriseS (Parent)
    IoTEnterpriseS (Virtual)

    C:\Windows\System32\xx-XX\Licenses\OEM\EnterpriseS

    All Virtual SKU shares the same license.rtf of the Parent SKU. i.e. Virtual SKU does NOT have its own license.rtf.

    Q: What are mandatory requirements to form a SKU?

    If you don't know about this, don't say you are good at reconstruction.
