[Legolash2o]

Lego, could you make a small change to the /l parameter please? Currently there is no option where the list of packages will be saved to. Unless I missed something, it always gets saved in c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\, which is not even "the same directory" as the programs says (I understand it the way it should be saved in the mounted image's directory instead)

Hi legolash,

The old tweak.exe used the exit code -532459699 to define the error "registry file not found" when the path was inexistent or incorrect. Could make something similar on your version? For instance if the program finished successfully return errorlevel 0 if registry file not found then return errorlevel 1 etc.

I use it in my batch and it would really be useful for me.

What's wrong? :-O

If you use v1.4.4, and then after run it again with /h command it will restore all values (Visibility) to default.

This issue was caused because PackagePending subkey could not be found, in v1.4.4 it will just skip this and continue if not found.

I tried to remove packages from my syspreped image, so it must have something to do with that. But I didn't remove anything there so I see no reason why should it not work.

Yer, they are no longer pending they installed already

[Legolash2o]

Yeah there's a bug in v1.4.4, i'll upload the latest version.

[MagicAndre1981]

version 1.4.4 doesn't work. I removed the hyper-v drivers and integration service packages but the files are still in the WinSxS folder

You can try the new version 1.4.6 available and bug solved.

I think files are left behind until you rebuild the wim

imagex /compress maximum /export <path_to_folder>\install.wim * <new_existing_path>\install.wim /check
