Windows Thin PC - Addon Packages

Need some assistance. I'm trying to integrate (offline) some packages into a clean ThinPC ISO. After extracting all the files from the ISO, and creating the necessary folders, I followed the instructions in the first post:

"Dism.exe /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\ThinPC\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\ThinMnt
Dism /Image:C:\ThinMnt /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\FeaturePack
Dism.exe /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\ThinMnt /commit"

However, I've read in one of the posts that the language pack needs to be re-integrated after the featurepack. I tried doing this command:

"Dism /Image:C:\ThinMnt /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\LangPack" after the "Dism /Image:C:\ThinMnt /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\FeaturePack" command. However, I'm getting an error message to effect that the image file is not valid anymore and needs to be remounted. How do I go about re-integrating the language pack? If the language pack is not integrated, I get an error message during the installation and thus won't complete. Thanks guys.

 

Hello
bad luck I can not install the package net framework 3.5. thin pc automatically uninstall the package to reboot.
would this be related to the update prior to the thin pc set up the pack?
what can I do to force the installation?

many thanks

 

Thanks for your time in giving it a shot. I tried it without integrating the english language pack but got an error message to the effect that installation can't continue with the language selected. I only selected the english language during initial setup. So I'm assuming that if the english pack was integrated automatically, that error message shouldn't appear? Thanks

 

Hello!
I tried to reinstall by following the instructions but it uninstall everything.
oddly I could put messenger 2011 after installing messenger v8.0
I don't know whether to net framework 3.5 for messenger v8.0
if so this means therefore that it is installed.
it seems working good.
thanks
sorry my english's so bad !

Thanks for adding the info on packages. I'd like to propose another method of install where modification to installed packages can be made very quickly. This does not integrate the packages, but installs whatever packages are placed in the directory. The packages are installed during the last stage of OOBE at the "finalizing install" phase.

Post-Install method:
1. Copy the contents of the Thin PC DVD to a new folder.
2. Navigate to the new folder's sources folder.
3. In sources folder, make a new folder called $oem$.
4. In $oem$ folder, make a new folder called $$.
4. In $$ folder make a new folder called setup.
5. In setup folder make a new folder called scripts.
6. Add all the *.cab files needed into the scripts folder.
7. Open Notepad, and paste this:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:%~dp0 /NoRestart
SHUTDOWN /R /T 0
RD /S /Q "%~dp0"
EXIT

8. Save this as SetupComplete.cmd in the scripts folder.
9. Make a bootable ISO of the new folder or copy the contents of the new folder into a USB bootable Flash Drive to install from.
10. Finished.

 

How to remove Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications ?

Hello,

I seached the EMB-TPCfeaturePacks.xls file which package to remove for the Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications and POSIX Compliance, but could not find it.

Could someone tell me how to remove the POSIX and NFS components in Windows Thin PC ?

Thank you.

 

How to customize WES7 pre-or-post install, so that the same installed WES volume can boot on both real hardware and inside Windows Virtual PC without BSOD 07B (i.e. install to a VHD attached as IDE hard drive inside VM, boot inside VM and boot the VHD on real PC where the VM is installed)?

 

How to activate Native Boot from VHD support in ThinPC7 ? Its supported in WES7 SP1 by default.

 

I have successfully added the "Windows Search" package (winemb-natural-language.cab & winemb-search.cab) but later on I would like to remove it. May I know what command should I use? What parameters should I add to the dism.exe?

 

You can use either dism.exe /online /remove-package /packagepathackage.cab if you've got the .cab of a package, or dism.exe /online /remove-package /packagename:name with the package name. Use dism.exe /online /get-packages to get a list of installed packages.

 

Hello MSMG and other friends!

I wonder if they could be kind enough to store the package "WinEmb-BackupRestore.cab" at some site storage (DepositFiles, MediaFire ...) as I need this package only. It makes no sense I have to download the entire DVD Windows Embedded only to extract only that package.

I think it would be easier for us all of the forum if they were all separate packages available at any storage site.

I hope I can count on your help.

Thank you.

 

Hello friends!

I wonder if someone could be kind enough to stay in a storage site only package "WinEmb-BackupRestore.cab" package responsible for System Backup and Restore features.

Do not want to download the entire contents of the Windows Embedded only because I need this package.

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me.

Thank you.

I'll get it posted to cloudapp or dropbox at some time today, if thats any help.

Thanks for the useful guide OP, now I've got a awesome thinpc install on my laptop.

 

I'm getting this error running Microsoft Toolkit:



AFAIK it requires .NET 3.5. I've installed (online):

winemb-iis-was.cab
winemb-netfx30.cab
winemb-netfx30client.cab
winemb-netfx35 .cab
winemb-netfx35client.cab

as explained in the first page. Thanks.

 

And why do you want to run MST on it?
