Get WAIK Tools w/o downloading the huge ISO's

[JFX]

Hi Dan777,

yes, I forgot to mention that one.
We used the old bcd*.exe tools from Win10 ADK 1511 for compatibility with Windows 7.
Microsoft removed this ADK version, so GWT now loads 2004 version and alters bcdedit.exe to let it run on Win7

Version 20.10

Yup! They appear to be failures, even with older versions. Folders in older version would be created but empty (ADK_4 and sub-folders). Not sure if useful, but I got them while the still existed.

Side: The latest v20.10 (32-bit) doesn't run on XP/2003 (32-bit) for some reason. (Note that I "jumped" to the end of the topic, so...) Guess I'll try them on a 64-bit Win7/Win10 (I have them loaded on another PC). Not worth loading XP/2003 x64 right now. Busy trying to Reconstruct WinRE.WIM on a friend's Dell that a "helper" upgraded to Win10 and destroyed it (deleted when I had her "uninstall/back out). She's mad at the "helper" now. Won't let anyone but me work with it. (Addendum Side: Last person a few years ago "boogered" her profile - Original Name is using "Test" user-id - probably tried to "fix" using the XP-but-wrong-way method of make-new and copy-to...)

Hi, I've been using this tool for years, found it again after trying to run WinNTSetup and finding out that the files couldn't be downloaded, and I'm glad to see that you've updated your tool Appreciate the support :)

Fixed!

and another one goes ...

Version 21.04

- removed ADK 8.1 options

[click-click]

Will there be a version for Win 11?

[JFX]

Nope, this app has been discontinued. Version 21.04 is the very last one.

[click-click]

Sorry to hear that. Since it's now eol, do you have a suggestion how I might still get these bits and pieces without the whole ADK?

[JFX]

Use adksetup.exe and only select want you want.

Sorry if I don't follow, I just now needed Dism tools for the first time.

So this tool is dead dead? No chance to make it work? I need to download the full thing?

[JFX]

Yeah this tool is dead. there is simply no need for it anymore.
Stick with older version or use adksetup.exe with terrible 45 MB download.

If you have a current OS, why would you need them anyway?

[GrofLuigi]

It turned out I don't need it, thank you.
