I have NTLite installed inside a single VM which I use for Windows development mainly but also to build custom ISOs. Ever since I last purchased an upgrade (1/2021), I am being prompted to use online activation. What gives? (The saved/exported license file isn't accepted anymore?!)
The problem with the sensitive data is that XML doesn't exactly lend itself to readability for humans ;) ...
Will do. Any other files to include? Any way of tickling additional information out of Windows during the (failing) installation attempt?
However, once I am trying to perform an installation with this ISO file, I am receiving an error 0x80070570. The error text is:
How can I find out which of the files is missing?
Also, is there a way to attach the Preset and the log file without actually including private (user name etc) or...
Hi,
I am using the disk labeled CPBA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9 from MSDN. This is the x64 disk with "consumer editions".
After adding the "Image directory" from the "Image" tab (a simple copy of the DVD image contents in a writable location), I tell NTLite to load item number 10 (Windows 10 Pro N for...
That's amazing, because I haven't encountered this once on perhaps less than a dozen PCs, but definitely more than just three. While Windows (since 8, I think) happily installs without a license key, after installation it always required a key to activate for me.
But, color me intrigued, I'm...
Wow, don't take my response personally. I mean I get it: YMMV. And while one can argue about the CA system and centralized trust and all that stuff, code-signing surely adds to the overall safety, even if it's not a sufficient protection on its own. No offense meant.
As I wrote, I have a hard time believing that, because not every computer has had a Windows on it before. And to match some hardware IDs it would still have to have had a Windows license on it at some point, no? Besides, hardware IDs may be enough to match a key, but that may still not work if...
Hi, this looks like an interesting tool indeed, going by the screenshots. Alas, no can do. This is a tool that isn't open source but isn't coming with a code-signed installer. Won't run on my system however good it may be. 2019 and no code-signing is a no go for anything that I can't build from...
I'm confused.
But I still can only have a single autounattend.xml file ... even if I embed it in boot.wim the result will be the same, just a single one. Unless there is a way to coerce boot.wim into "branching" off per edition. I.e. have it boot into either setup scenario and have boot.wim...
Ugh, sounds tedious. Is that the only way? I currently have the problem already that I cannot limit the view to items that are set to non-standard values (i.e. have been customized by me).
Fair enough. So you mean to say since it appears as a separate item it won't be affected when choosing to remove "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting"? Alright then ...
Thanks!
Also in regard to this question of mine (to which the only answer I found so far by myself is no) it would make sense to separate the Unattended settings from the rest of the customization process. Especially when there is more than a single edition to customize, it's odd that it's lumped...
When attempting to create an unattended installation image, it appears that the unattended.xml ends up in the root of the image. However, since there is only one unattended.xml it's unclear how to proceed to seed one key per edition included on the image. Is that even possible? Is there, for...
Hi,
what does the item "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting" encompass? Does it also include tools like the "Performance Monitor"? Because I'd definitely not want to remove it then ...
Thanks.
Hi,
say I create a preset, disabling or removing certain components, features ... whatnot ... and then I install the result. Now let's say that I have run this for some time. Several of the descriptions inside NTLite indicate that Windows 10 will end up "repairing" itself through cumulative...
Hi,
I noticed under Components -> Network that there is an item called OpenSSH but the notes say "Open-source SSL engine". So which one is this? Given the category I'd expect OpenSSH, but given the notes I'd be wrong.
I found one more in the description of "DISM ResetBase functionality". There...
