WIM

WIM (ESD,SWM) is an image of an OS file system,
it can be mounted, and modified (to some degree) .
there are two possible ways, through DISM or through mounting it directly through an older way, using a driver named imagex (Windows Imaging Utility).
regardless,

terminology

the uupdump scripts are using the terminology of WIM editing with DISM (or imagex if you'll like), that a novice might not be familiar with.

DISM is special, use it!

the whole mounting a file as a storage is somewhat understandable, but on top of "what you have", there are several levels of integrating packages, updates and drivers, as of recent Windows 10 builds, there are no longer ISO distributions but instead a bunch of updates on top of a base package, so essentially, everything is assembled. drivers, cab or msu packages can be embedded into the base or kept and automatically installed after the first setup.

best to avoid images done on linux

linux OS lacks DISM but it can still pack everything up using wimlib, no advance stuff such as deep integration and base reset to new update though.

website

if you haven't checked the checkboxes for install updates, cleanup, rebase ("reset base"), your OS would be as updated as the base package, the setup would include an extra step, and the first time you'll be running the windows would take longer. in Windows update, you'll end up seeing couple of big updates finishing up anyway. if it "looked weird" to you since you've JUST created the most recent ISO, and you don't understand WHY couple of big updates from last 3 months ago are being installed "again", that is the cause. the OS w/o updates, clean and reset base would be reported to be older. and a bug sometimes makes the update download and install those again.

that is an over-simplified explanation.

well, to work!

Windows 7 is known to be buggy with the cleanup and reset base,
but recent Windows 10/11/.. builds should be fine.

notes, what do you need

have a Windows 10 installed.
download and install ADK. 1.58GB.
download and install ADKWinPEAddons. 2.67GB.

the page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install has both latest ADK (and PE addons) for Windows 11, and Windows 10 version. if you are planning to make a Windows 10 installation, the "Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 2004",
and "Windows PE add-on for the ADK, version 2004" is fine.
if you are planning to create a Windows 11 installation, you might as well install the latest version.

use uupdump website.

check ☑ add updates.
check ☑ cleanup.
check ☑ reset base ("rebase").
check ☑ adding .Net3.5
check ☑ for esd. that's an LZMA like algorithm by Microsoft to compressed WIM
https://wimlib.net/compression.html#LZMS
it gets you from 6GB to 3.5GB (perfectly fine for FAT32's MBR max-size limit..)

a-z steps, as screenshots - added below.

next, files NEEDS editing!

when downloaded, unzip,
open up the ConvertConfig.ini.

those should be 1: AddUpdates, Cleanup, ResetBase, NetFx3, wim2esd.

now, CHANGE those to be 1 as well:

AutoStart and StartVirtual for starting the process a.s.a.p. instead of showing the menu, and continuing to the final step of constructing editions that reference the same base packages without doubling the size, for example Windows 10 pro and Windows 10 pro for workstations (and E/N variations and EDU variation - and Enterprise and its editions... You still get same size image).
LCUwinre for force updating winre.wim with Cumulative Update even if SafeOS update detected, strongly advised. don't worry about the safeos thingy.
UpdtBootFiles for updating ISO boot files bootmgr/bootmgr.efi/efisys.bin from Cumulative Update, instead of using old bootable template package of bios (or UEFI) boot manager and WinPE stage init.
ForceDism it uses DISM of your OS instead of a wimlib-imagex.exe that is shipped with the uupdump script, it is almost always better. DISM will eventually be used regardless, but this is almost always preferred over wimlib-imagex.

you can get the wimlib exe/binaries from https://wimlib.net/downloads/index.html they have newer builds (v1.13.15 from Dec 19, 2021 is the currently most recent), (only things you need is libwim-15.dll and wimlib-imagex.exe the other files there are simply examples for WIM commands (append, split, update,...) on windows you should opt-in DISM only, on linux make sure it is 0.

note: before the ISO "becomes ISO" it is mounted into a plain folder, in which you can add various useful tools,
for that you need to control the auto process by NOT using autostart and NOT using startvirtual. you need to run those yourself when notified.
after you are done you use the menu for continuing the process, and the "ISO" would saved to an actual ISO file.

this isn't a big hassle, but it is best to avoid. you'll end up creating (I assume) a bootable Windows USB driver eventually.
it is best to just let this process run automatically.

the create_virtual_editions part, is not actually being used for anything (vDeleteSource, vPreserve,... does nothing)
other than for vAutoEditions.

the store apps section is usable when you're not running automatically - so you'll have some control over the process with the menu,
or when you are re-running.
you can edit Store_Apps SkipApps, AppsLevel, CustomList to limit what you'll end up getting. this can increase or reduce the total size with about 500MB.
when running autostart you'll get all of the custom list application.
this is mostly for Europe (N editions) that wants to add some stuff.
don't over complicated things, just use the non-N (regular edition) and uninstall things later if you wish.

more information, editing WIM - PowerISO!

you can edit wim esd images with PowerISO. it has very clear menu entries just for the DISM actions, and they are pretty clear.

notes:

make sure you edit `ConvertConfig.ini`!

due to a bug, you need to specify things again (set them to `1`) in the `ConvertConfig.ini`, even if you've check those in the website!

example

here is an example:

[convert-UUP]
AutoStart    =1
AddUpdates   =1
Cleanup      =1
ResetBase    =1
NetFx3       =1
StartVirtual =1
wim2esd      =1
wim2swm      =0
SkipISO      =0
SkipWinRE    =0
LCUwinre     =1
UpdtBootFiles=1
ForceDism    =1
RefESD       =0
SkipEdge     =0
AutoExit     =0

[Store_Apps]
SkipApps     =0
AppsLevel    =0
CustomList   =0

[create_virtual_editions]
vAutoStart   =1
vDeleteSource=0
vPreserve    =0
vwim2esd     =1
vwim2swm     =0
vSkipISO     =0
vAutoEditions=ProfessionalWorkstation

Part 2 - _{stuff you need to change in the scripts (Windows)}

download, install, trust the Mozilla CA certificate bundle:
https://gist.github.com/eladkarako/21e396160df2840e14a5d5f92f8266c3#file-installing-mozilla-ca-certificate-bundle-on-windows-md

download https://github.com/eladkarako/aria2c_win/raw/master/patched_official_aria2-1.36.0-win-64bit-build1/aria2c.exe
which is an newer, enhanced version based on https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/tag/release-1.36.0
and place it under the files folder, replacing the existing aria2c.exe.
you need to right-click aria2c.exe, click properties, check the 'unblock', and click ok.
edit uup_download_windows.cmd,
look for echo Retrieving aria2 script...

when you got something like this afterwards:
"%aria2%" --no-conf --log-level=info --log="aria2_download.log" -o"%aria2Script%" --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false "https://uupdump.net/get.php?id=6b74eb77-d1b0-41fc-95b1-5b69d3009ef2&pack=en-us&edition=professional&aria2=2"

add --min-tls-version=TLSv1.2 --check-certificate=false --file-allocation=falloc --remote-time=true --disable-ipv6=true --human-readable=true --min-split-size=5M "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0" --enable-http-keep-alive=true --enable-http-pipelining=true --max-connection-per-server=16 --split=16 --max-concurrent-downloads=5 --continue=true --remote-time=true
just before the existing --allow-overwrite=true.

couple of lines below you'll see something like this:

"%aria2%" --no-conf --log-level=info --log="aria2_download.log" -x16 -s16 -j5 -c -R -d"%destDir%" -i"%aria2Script%"

replace -x16 -s16 -j5 -c -R

with --min-tls-version=TLSv1.2 --check-certificate=false --file-allocation=falloc --remote-time=true --disable-ipv6=true --human-readable=true --min-split-size=5M "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0" --enable-http-keep-alive=true --enable-http-pipelining=true --max-connection-per-server=16 --split=16 --max-concurrent-downloads=5 --continue=true --remote-time=true

it speeds up parallel downloading, skips issue with the security verification, and pre allocate space on the disk before the download finishes.

step3 - run end log

(not including the ADK installation part, just from the https://uupdump.net/ step)

part 3 - do you want to edit offline registry?

registry hive is stored in files, each WIM you have in the ISO also have registry hive. boot.wim, install.esd (needs to be converted to wim for mounting) does too. when mounting a wim you can load up the files temporarily to "your own registry",
you can apply few useful registry tweaks such as removing RAM,CPU,STORAGE,and SECURE BOOT. see: https://gist.github.com/eladkarako/c593b72d8df7b3d195b10204252bafb3#file-windows-10-windows-11-unrestricted-setup-for-vm-md

and then unload the tmp. reg, and update and close the wim (best to compress to esd again), by repeating it for the boot.wim you'll be able to install W11 on older machines (or vm), and again on install.wim to use it normally from the start, without opening console tricks.

Windows 10 is fine so I don't mess with it.

this is a pretty nice starting point if you are in need for some a thing... https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/95002-dism-edit-registry-offline-image.html https://archive.is/Tc3Nw https://web.archive.org/web/20220624173111/https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/95002-dism-edit-registry-offline-image.html

and so is https://superuser.com/questions/636055/how-to-modify-a-computers-offline-registry-from-winpe as well.

remember to work with latest PowerISO when opening and saving the image, it can help you with converting WIM-ESD back and forth as well, and will preserve the boot. make sure to always check the iso on a virtual machine before using it!!!

note: the following created a corrupted installation that kept restarting,
I guess something went wrong with mounting/unmounting/reg load/unload/esd compression... you can follow those below but you'll probably won't be able to enjoy a workable windows.

use PowerISO or 7zip to extract the boot.wim and install.esd from the ISO to D:\.
PowerISO and a convenient UI for dism, you can use it.

we're going to mount the boot.wim and later install.wim (which we'll convert from install.esd) into D:\1\, and use reg command to load the System hive from file, then apply a .reg patch, unload the hive, and apply the changes to the wim files.

dism /Mount-wim /wimFile:D:\boot.wim /MountDir:D:\1 /Index:1 /Optimize /CheckIntegrity that's a WindowsPE (recovery disk).
reg load HKLM\OFFLINESYSTEM D:\1\Windows\System32\Config\System
copy this to a file with a .reg extension, and double click it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\OFFLINESYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassCPUCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassStorageCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001

dism /Unmount-image /MountDir:D:\1 /Commit /CheckIntegrity
dism /Mount-wim /wimFile:D:\boot.wim /MountDir:D:\1 /Index:2 /Optimize /CheckIntegrity that's the Windows Setup (second index)
reg load HKLM\OFFLINESYSTEM D:\1\Windows\System32\Config\System
again, same .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\OFFLINESYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]

"BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

dism /Unmount-image /MountDir:D:\1 /Commit /CheckIntegrity
use PowerISO to convert the esd to wim, open the wim file in the delete tab and keep just the Pro for workstations. even-though this is a "virtual" installation, I don't use the plain Pro version so I don't need it.

you can use the following command to export wim, although I didn't used it. if you have deleted the first index (plain pro version) you can use: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:D:\install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:D:\install.wim /Compress:Max /CheckIntegrity

otherwise use /SourceIndex:2 to directly use the pro for workstations version:
dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:D:\install.esd /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:D:\install.wim /Compress:Max /CheckIntegrity

either way you'll get a new install.wim and you can rename the old install.esd to old.install.esd .

repeat the steps (used for boot.wim) above, but now specify install.wim. mount it into D:\1, load the System registry hive, apply the registry patch, unload the System hive, and umount the install.wim file.
convert the install.wim to install.esd:
if you've delete the first index in the install.esd or exported just the second index you should have only one index,
and you can run:
dism /Export-image /SourceImageFile:D:\install.wim /DestinationImageFile:D:\install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /Compress:recovery /CheckIntegrity

this is a long process, that will allocate ~6GB in the RAM (which will be paged to disk every now and again),
it will also take 50% to 90% at some point. I advise to NOT use the computer at this point,
and if you disable your screensaver and power settings to not lock your machine, it would be best,
sometimes you can play a small video in a loop in the media player so the screen-saver won't be activated, do it!

use PowerISO to replace the existing boot.wim and install.esd with the new ones, other programs seems to corrupt the ISO for some reason.
don't be lazy, test the ISO on a virtual machine, you can generate a small 40GB virtual hard disk, and 1GB virtual RAM to check that the setup is unlimited by the minimum requirements of 64GB hard-disk and 4GB or RAM.
use Rufus to generate a bootable USB, if possible choose NTFS, it will allow you a faster installation.
in-case you are planning to use NTFS in the first place you are not limited by maximum of 4GB file (as you would in FAT32),
in that case (you should plan this a head) you can run the first UUPDUMP script in a way that does not generate esd but just install.wim,
it will save you a lot of time, both in generating the ISO,
then in setup patching,
and finally the WIM is extracted a lot faster then esd so you'll finish the actual setup a lot faster too!

this is what you get when you are done

4 directories, 89 files

this is what you get if you change the auto-start variables in ConvertConfig.ini (AutoStart + vAutoStart) to 0:

running uup_download_windows.cmd again will walk-through all the downloaded files (checksum),
and you'll get a very simple menu eventually:

choosing 4 for ISO with install.esd (compressed WIM),
will show you the same steps (you can't stop):

I guess - while it compresses the install.wim (you've got few minutes) you can copy stuff to ISOFOLDER/ folder..

...this way you won't have to open the ISO later with PowerISO for adding files.. but since you're probably going to use the ISO as a starting point for dumping the whole thing into a USB-storage device,
it is kind of pointless.

anyway after that the install.wim will get updated with various stuff,
no stopping point in here as well.

that's convert-UUP.cmd around line 1860

at some point, after `install.wim` is done, and maybe mounted into a folder, you'll be able to add `pause` into the script somewhere, and you'll have as much time as you'll like to add stuff to the actual file-system and even mount the registry, without doing more work, once you're done, just press any key in the script, and the repacking will continue :]

probably just about after call :mount "%_target%":

adding stuff is done in the drive the folder is placed on,

the action will continue while stuff is added to install.wim,
so a better placement for the pause might be after that.

the commands are now %_dism2%:"!_cabdir!" %dismtarget% /LogPath:"%_dLog%\%_DsmLog%" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"!dest!\update.mum"
I.E. line 2637, but :pXML is called several times from lines 2317-2344 (in a loop probably).

again,
it is probably not a good point to place a pause,
nor for editing the mounted wim.

probably a good point is just before it gets unmounted,
after all the updates are applied..

I've installed the most recent (release) of ADK and ADKWinPEAddons tagged under "Windows 11",
it works perfectly fine for creating images for Windows 10 as well.
you'll need to first uninstall older versions of ADK and ADKWinPEAddons.
it is slightly faster!

normally you can not run two proceesses (for example W11 and W10)
at the same time, since they are using the same folders to dism-mount and unmount-wim and store temp,
which means parallel actions might overwrite files or unmount folders of the other one,
but it might be fixed after
https://github.com/uup-dump/converter/issues/25
which will make projects use unique folder-names as much as possible,
which would allow pretty much any amount of building processes to run.

back to https://uupdump.net/ ...
I wanted to get the latest Windows 10, but found only Windows 11..
so I went to https://uupdump.net/known.php and got a lot of mess of builds and updates,
the table wasn't sortable so it was really hard to find anything,
I ran this JavaScript code in the console to manually sort the table (by date, most recent on top),

function natural_compare(a,b){
  let ax=[]
     ,bx=[]
     ;
  if("function" === typeof natural_compare.extraction_rule){
   a = natural_compare.extraction_rule(a);
   b = natural_compare.extraction_rule(b);
  }
  //numbers can be normalized (original value is fine, - it is just another kind of extraction-rule.
  a = ("number" === typeof a) ? String(a) : a;  
  b = ("number" === typeof b) ? String(b) : b;

  //but not much else..
  if("string" !== typeof a){return 0;}
  if("string" !== typeof b){return 0;}

  a.replace(/(\d+)|(\D+)/g,function(_,$1,$2){ ax.push([$1 || Infinity, $2 || ""]); });
  b.replace(/(\d+)|(\D+)/g,function(_,$1,$2){ bx.push([$1 || Infinity, $2 || ""]); });
  while(ax.length>0 && bx.length>0){
   let an = ax.shift()
      ,bn = bx.shift()
      ,nn = (an[0] - bn[0]) || an[1].localeCompare(bn[1])
      ;
   if(0 !== nn){ return nn; }
  }
  return (ax.length - bx.length);
};


let tbody = document.querySelector("table tbody")
   ,rows  = Array.from(tbody.querySelectorAll("tr"))
  ;

natural_compare.extraction_rule = function(a){
  return a.firstElementChild.nextElementSibling.nextElementSibling.innerText;
}

rows = rows.sort(natural_compare).reverse();

rows.forEach((row) => { tbody.appendChild(row); })

(and also suggested https://github.com/uup-dump/website/issues/172 )

but it wasn't super useful..

eventually the main page had a button 22H2 so I've pressed it and got into
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=19045
I've improved the query to:
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=19045+amd64
just to make sure I've also checked
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=10+22H2+amd64
which gave me pretty much the same list.

and I've got a bit puzzled regarding the two most recent builds:
Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 (19045.1889) amd64 x64 2022-08-09 18:24:12 UTC
and
Feature update to Windows 10, version 22H2 (19045.1889) amd64 x64 2022-08-09 17:01:51 UTC

googling https://www.google.com/search?q=Feature+update+to+Windows+10+vs+Cumulative+Update+for+Windows+10
wasn't clear either,
but essentially Cumulative means more frequent (every few weeks),
and Feature means a big one that comes every so often (monthly or longer)
considered that both are carrying pretty much the same published date,
I've chosen the Cumulative one, since I'm assuming it "carries" more fixes.

I don't need a Windows 10 ISO right now,
but I'm not sure if there will be another build (perhaps in a month?) but it seems most of the entries are Windows 11 ones...

so I might as well download the most recent one,

https://github.com/eladkarako/winlib_patched_for_w10_w11/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

replace existing files at bin (extracted from ) with this dll and exe, they are amd64 and patched to run properly on Windows 10,
it should hog less resources, and use new segmented heap to allocate memory more efficiently.
the existing files are x86 and have very hard time allocating over 2GB of memory, which takes a lot of CPU and I/O while memory pages are keep paged to disk and back, even though you might have a lot of free memory available.
that winlib files are taking came of LZMS (LZMA compression) and just like 7zip.

the website fixed some bugs recently,
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=Windows+10+Version+22H2+amd64&sort=1
for filtering recent builds is a better way to reach the Windows 10 builds.

if you've used to use the preview builds you can filter with:
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=preview+Windows+10+Version+22H2+amd64&sort=1
which will only keep the preview builds.

I've upgraded the uup-converter-wimlib.7z you normally find in the files folder.
mostly the 7zip and the wim compression tool. normally the x86 version are being used, I've just copied the x64 amd64 version and override the existing versions with it, and recompressed it,
the process it to 7zip,
because I wanted to no interrupt the natural order of the script,
there isn't really a good point in stopping things to update the files once the process starts..
(I can not attach those kind of files in here anyway),
just a note, really. you can get the more recent aria2c.exe, and its switches and the wim compression exe from the links in the notes above.

note regarding `CustomAppsList.txt`

windows 10 builds will ignore it and just include it all,
windows 11 will actually read the content of the file,
and only include the packages that are specified.

this is why when you build Windows 10 iso,
you will get the card games, weather and such,
and the Windows 11 iso will have none of those!

the CustomAppsList.txt exists inside uup-converter-wimlib.7z,
and I previously advised to pre-edit that 7z and re-pack it so the automated action will run naturally.

in addition to updating that 7z with newer 7z and wim-lib you should also edit the included
CustomAppsList.txt. and repack it (use LZMA and not LZMA2 nor Fast-LZMA2, since LZMA is included in 7zr nativly).

I advise doing it for both Windows 10 and Windows 11,
just in-case the Windows 10 batch will get fixed..

and you can google search to see what are those.

I'll just say that Microsoft.549981C3F5F10_8wekyb3d8bbwe is cortana,

and Media Codecs are handy,
but you should always install the K-Lite Codecs pack (x64, "mega" variation),
which include preview and thumbnail handlers for all those already..

if you'll try edit CustomAppsList.txt and then run uup_download_windows.cmd to make it auto create iso again,
it won't work,
one of the first lines in uup_download_windows.cmd is to unpack uup-converter-wimlib.7z,
which means your nice edited CustomAppsList.txt will be overwritten with the one exists in uup-converter-wimlib.7z .

so, make sure to extract uup-converter-wimlib.7z,
edit the files,
the repack it,
and put the updated uup-converter-wimlib.7z back instead of the old one.
