  1. I have not seen this issue. What version is the imagex.exe? Have you tried using DISM instead? What is the file size of the WIM, and what compression method was used at capture? What type of media is the destination?
  2. Look in the link that was posted for command extensions.
  3. That's the billion dollar question!
  4. This is also a problem on WES7e/p (Windows Embedded Standard) builds. Typically, clients wanting a custom Embedded image do not want updates to be installed, or for Windows Update to be disabled. The past week I've been working on two new WES7 builds to include updates and they both took on average 3-4 hours to complete the check. I had set WU to disabled and then just did Check for Updates, because there is no point in having it do the download since the updates are not added directly to the client.
  5. The only thing that people end up resorting to is public shaming, but most websites do allow some contact with an author. I've sent emails or Twitter messages in the past to inform article authors of corrections needed for articles. You could say that the readers shouldn't be responsible for that and you wouldn't be wrong.
  6. Changed the topic title.
  7. No one in their right mind should be paying for access to a news website. They do not have enough exclusive content to offer such a service and you can find those news stories for free on other websites.
  8. From the nested quote that the forum software left out: 25% of users install an app and only use it once. I wonder, what percentage of those users are doing so not because they don't like the app, but because another app gave them incentive to try it? I personally use very few apps on my phone, but one of them has microtransactions. The in-game currency is coins. You can get these coins by signing in every day, winning contests, buying them, watching ads or trying some other app. I doubt that this is uncommon. So I wonder how many people are just doing the bare minimum required (it varies) in order to get the coins or whatever they need for the game they are playing.
  9. I am not familiar with this program. What is the name of it exactly?
  10. I had forgotten that LinkedIn had stocks.
  11. MS has been using third (second?) parties to manage surveys for years.
  12. Welcome to the MSFN!
  13. I've never used it, but is Classic Shell an actual shell? Because the OS, we know, is the underlying portion that you boot and in Windows, Explorer.exe is the shell.
  14. Disk 0 could very well be a card reader. On some systems, card reader without media inserted can sometimes be detected and sometimes even get a drive letter. Often times I see card reader showing up, it will have the same size numbers as the USB key I use to boot.
  15. I have included vcredist (or other type redist) into an image before, but only if they were needed for other software I had to install.
  16. There are worse MS forums. I had received an email relating to a "new" Partner forum for me to check out. It wasn't new, threads went back 4 months. All the threads were posted and answered by the forum moderator. Pre-created threads with self-answered questions.
  17. ISO for what?
  18. IN dispart, do select disk 0. Then detail disk. Then for disk 1. Since we are not there, we should be able to see exactly what disk 0 and disk 1 is.
  19. Al has posted this on network54 if you are interested: http://www.net54baseball.com/showpost.php?p=1547191&postcount=6 Note: pictures in posts may not be visible to guests.
  20. The incorrect size SP1 appears because the OS is missing a pre-requisite. What that kb is, I have only determined by process of elimination. In other words, it is too much work for me to bother with, because the update that makes it go away can be different.
  21. News for these types of things are usually responsible. I think for the past few major "finds" as they are called (this one is known as The Texas Find) have not shown up on news websites until after the cards have been acquired by a third party or auction house. I'm not sure how big of news story it would be if it was to be found out he had a large collection when he was alive. Many people have collections of this size, either publicly or privately. So when this news broke, it was just "kind of neat" but not really newsworthy to me. In fact, the Daily Mail article is only really writing about the fact that the items are currently up for auction. There is nothing special about the collection itself, other than the whole chance meeting being a feel good story.
  22. Games usually will install the ones they need by themselves. It really depends on the application, whether both are needed or not.
  23. As up and up today and "now now now" that the internet news cycle is, we still have these instances where a news story doesn't show up for a couple of months for whatever reason. https://lotgauctions.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/an-incredible-find/
  24. I have not seen that movie in a long time. I had no idea.
