filter Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Last version not support 8.1??? I try to integrate language pack. when i test the new iso only the default lang appear (english). Quote
Etz Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Have you installed latest ADK to get newer version of Dism to actually be actually able to prep Windows 8.1 Image on windows 7 Host?http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982 AFAIK...Windows 7 Dism isnt compatible with Windows 8.1There isnt much incompatibility in WinToolkit itself IMHO.

Etz Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Too bad, WinToolkit doesnt allow selecting Dism.exe location... It would be easy to point it to ADK folder then for newer Dism.exe without of need replacing lots of files in Windows folder. Quote
filter Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I install the ADK 8.1 but same thing happen' Quote
Etz Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I install the ADK 8.1 but same thing happen' Yes, because WinToolkit uses Dism located in C:\Windows\System32 ADK places newer Dism into C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\ Result is that you can use newer Dism from commandline from there..

Etz Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Tested my self couple of days, WinToolkit latest version works fine with windows 8.1 Integrates updates succesfully, etc... Only catch is that you have to run it on Windows 8.1 host if you want to work on windows 8.1 image or anomalies will start to pop up.Which is ofcourse pretty obvious as Windows 7 dism doesnt support Windows 8.1 which uses much newer dism.

wildgunman Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Can you remove Windows features on 8.1 ?I see only 3 or 4 Features to remove.... Quote
Etz Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) I didnt try removals, as it usually breaks something... If you remove something and discover afterwards that you need it, there is absolutely no way to get it back.I learned my lessons long time ago, some games didnt install, because they needed media player playback capabilities, couple programs didnt run, they needed IE components, etc... After that i just disable unused packages via Unattended.xml, so I can always turn them back on, with "Programs and Features" if needed...Also SSD`s are pretty cheap already and 240GB is pretty sufficent for me, as I use NAS`es as my primary Data storage. Its really not worth the hassle IMHO, as you wont get any real performance gains... Edited October 25, 2013 by Etz Quote
ChiefZeke Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Ran across this the other day: Win8.1 will encrypt hard drives by default - see: http://www.howtogeek.com/173592/windows-8.1-will-start-encrypting-hard-drives-by-default-everything-you-need-to-know/ Anyone know how big of a problem this could be - especially on a multi-boot system?

spidernz Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Can you remove Windows features on 8.1 ?I see only 3 or 4 Features to remove.... Might need to use wtk in combo with winreducer (http://www.winreducer.net/forum.html) Quote
ricktendo Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I install the ADK 8.1 but same thing happen' Yes, because WinToolkit uses Dism located in C:\Windows\System32 ADK places newer Dism into C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\ Result is that you can use newer Dism from commandline from there..You guys can try the trick used to replace notepad.exe with notepad2.exe using this reg tweak (but edit it with the correct path/executable for use with dism.exe) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe]"Debugger"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Notepad2\\Notepad2.exe\" /z"May need one for x86 pointing to x86 dism.

santiago78 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 bump! any chance to have WTK Component Removal working with W.8.1?i'm using W.8.1.x64 and trying to slim installation iso of it, but only 4 items to remove are visible Quote
Legolash2o Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 OK I've made Win Toolkit scan for all locations of DISM and then use the latest version. I've add 'C:\\Program Files\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\x86\\DISM\\dism.exe' so from the next release it will you whatever it finds that is newer. Quote
spidernz Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Great! But say if I'm using windows 8.0 but want to modify 8.1, I can use getwaiktools.exe to dl the 8.1 dsim but would WTK see it?if not maybe in options we could setpath to dsim that we've downloaded? Quote
Etz Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Probably best option would be actually to be able to choose its location?Eq point WinToolkit, under options, to use whatever version you actually prefer, like Windows Hotfix Downloader allows you to do? Quote
Legolash2o Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Done. I've add the ability the point to a specific DISM.exe you specify. However, Win Toolkit will use the latest that it finds. During the scanning phase, it will also scan the DISM you specified. Quote
Legolash2o Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 There's currently a bug in the latest WinToolkit when selecting your dism for non-english. It's fixed however in the latest build so feel free to just download that. Quote
RicaNeaga Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Done. I've add the ability the point to a specific DISM.exe you specify. However, Win Toolkit will use the latest that it finds. During the scanning phase, it will also scan the DISM you specified. Where does it scan for? I mean what folders? It should be at least 6 right? Win 7 x86 and x64, Win 8 x86 and x64 and win 8.1 x86 and x64. Or win 8 and 8.1 have the same folder location for DISM? Quote
Legolash2o Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 if (File.Exists(cMain.SysFolder + "\\Dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysFolder + "\\Dism.exe"); } if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(cOptions.DISMLoc) && File.Exists(cOptions.DISMLoc)) { sDISMFound.Add(cOptions.DISMLoc); } if (cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (!cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\x86\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\x86\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (!cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\x86\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\x86\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + " (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + " (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + " (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + " (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\amd64\\DISM\\dism.exe"); } if (File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\Servicing\\Dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\Servicing\\Dism.exe"); } if (cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\amd64\\Servicing\\Dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\amd64\\Servicing\\Dism.exe"); } if (!cMain.Arc64 && File.Exists(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\x86\\Servicing\\Dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysProgFiles + "\\Windows AIK\\Tools\\x86\\Servicing\\Dism.exe"); } if (File.Exists(cMain.SysFolder + "\\Win8Dism\\Dism.exe")) { sDISMFound.Add(cMain.SysFolder + "\\Win8Dism\\Dism.exe"); }Was easier for me just to paste in the code lol.
