    Q: How to improve your reconstruction script?
    A:

    From Three things:

    1. Add Target edition.xml (1.xml)
    2. Remove Source edition.xml (2.xml)
    3. Add language pack.xml (3.xml)

    To two things:

    1. Combine 1.xml and 2.xml to 1.xml
    2. replace 3.xml with following command to avoid hassle of changing language code.

    dism /english /quiet /scratchdir:temp /image:%MT% /add-package:lp

    Each version of 18362 or 18363 is composed of 18362.1 + Hotfixes.

    18262\18363\19041\19042 are all SAC versions. What good is it converted to LTSC?

    I can confirm, Windows 10 Pro [10.0.19041.1] can be converted to Windows 10 LTSC 2019. but updating will NOT work.

    Side notes:
    Service stack update [kb4577266] offline failed every time.

    Cumulative update [kb4579311] offline failed every time, when i had used [startcomponentcleanup] and [startcomponentcleanup resetbase] cmd.

    Cumulative update [kb4579311] offline was successful completed every time, when NO [startcomponentcleanup] and [startcomponentcleanup resetbase] was done.


    Hopefully xinso can convert Windows 10 Pro [10.0.19041.1] to Windows 10 LTSC 2019 for you.;)

    Since 18362.1, Microsoft changes update technology to prevent Windows from being tampered.

    No, thank you.

    Actually, since 18362.1, it is 2-Sec conversion for Virtual editions.

    So... Read them, and have a good think to figure out the way to get rid of limitations.
