Windows Tweaking Scripts

calm dude, only wait

 

@mdl052020 ,

I really liked that site that you put in your main post (download the scripts), if I knew that page (privacy sexy) a few months ago it would have saved me a lot of time. heheheh Basically I went hunting for what I needed and added the privacy options to CustomToolkit. I organized the application code of the customized Tweaks to make it easier for anyone who wants to edit.

A suggestion: that I also sent to the MSMG. And, I already put it in the CustomToolkit, but like the reorganization of the tweaks, this change also does not affect functionality. So, I'm not going to upgrade yet since I will just reduce the code.

The suggestion is based on a very good command, seen in the abbodi1406 scripts. It is very interesting to reduce tons of characters. Maybe you like it!


I'm looking at "create_virtual_editions.cmd" and saw a simple and interesting variable. Great idea from abbodi1406.

I named the variable as asteriskline but you can put a smaller name, that was what came to mind.

set "asteriskline=*****************************************************************"


So I replaced all the lines:

echo *****************************************************************

for

echo %asteriskline%


It reduces a ton of characters.

For example:

Code:

set "asteriskline=*****************************************************************"
echo.
echo %asteriskline%
echo *        Offline Win10 Wim Servicing Batch Script        *

REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (    echo Requesting administrative privileges...    goto UACPrompt) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
echo %asteriskline%
echo. & color 02
echo %asteriskline%
echo *       Extracting ISO Image with Name Win10 to Script Path
echo %asteriskline%

I agree with @Tiger-1.

There will always be haters. They will not make constructive criticisms. Still, those who criticize have some concern to see the business progress. The haters are envious. And, your initiative @mdl052020, is very top!

 

Another suggestion: An opening note informing the first steps, such as: making sure that the iso is in the script folder, etc.

Spoiler: now it works

I removed that line: "echo. & color 53" because there was another one setting another color next. I left the color that was in that same position, in the other script (echo. & Color 60).

The implementation of the choice follows the same directive that I did in the menu for the choice of launching the Toolkit, Toolkit_Beta, CustomToolkit and CustomToolkit_Beta.


In the 3 Scripts I saw a lot that was updated in some, but not in others. I merged the 3.

Someone suggested replacing SourceName with SourceIndex, but I don't know if that was in the command or elsewhere in the code. So I didn't touch it.


Attached is a merged version for you to test. The Toolkit launcher file is also in the package.

I removed the compressed binary part to text.

Code:

:bat2file:[ Project
.
.
.

:bat2file:]

You have to put it again.

I was not able to attach was accusing it as too large file.

Edit: I put all the changes I made in SPOILER. I leave it there only for new ideas.

 

Oh, right! I don't understand that part that you are mentioning, hehehe! Maybe I won't be able to help you with that.

Edit 2020-10-22 - I started to understand this Out-GridView scheme, I was able to generate output and use it as an input in the image export command. I am enjoying learning about it.

 

Can be. But here, the "choice" and "if" commands are not necessary, as this section of the code is after the unmount. Then a command brings the information of the image already finished and unmounted, then the command "set / p" will pause so that, with the information, the user only enters the desired INDEX number. So, I deduce that the export command will save only the selected index.

That, if I understood correctly what you meant. But since I don't understand the use of "%%i", I can't deduce much more than that.

The modified file I sent earlier was buggy, I corrected the parts I suggested and organized it in another way that I see as more generic for future implementations, but it was not working 100%. At least to work the parts I suggested, everything is fine.

But when I finished, you had already released the new version that was very top. Nice that the idea of "IndexNumber", now "IndexChoice", worked.

With this new version that you posted I really understood that there is no need to put a menu with a choice for editions.

Only the information of the image indexes that are not being shown.


Another suggestions:
After selecting the index, identify the Edition to be placed in the ISO name.
Save the final iso outside the project folder, because if you run the script again you will lose the ISO already made.
Maybe that scheme of choosing to save to another drive or create an ISO folder inside the script folder, which is permanent (free from the cleaning process).
Forcing unmount at the beginning of the script can avoid some problems.

 

Below the red part I was already talking about the new version.

Edit:
I downloaded the new version again and was trying to use it as an example to make the previous version that I was working on, work... I found some typo and managed to work!
