ADK 10: Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer

@Kari
I think I've found a more recent version of the ADK.

At the bottom of this page:
Windows 10 Technical Preview hardware tools

there's a link to ADKSetup.exe

On installing it I get version 10.0.10041.0 of the deployment tools.

There also appears to be some documentation here
Get involved - Windows 10 hardware dev

within the Customize and Manufacture sections. For instance DISM is documented within Manufacture and SIM is covered within Customize.

The new Imaging an Configuration Designer is covered more here:
Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (Windows Drivers)

I probably won't get a chance to play with it for a while myself though. (I'm also having issues with Windows 10 build 10041 - it keeps crashing on my old hardware so something is different to 9926 which was much happier; so I may wait for the next ISO.)

It looks like the ADK is now up to version 10075, timestamped 29 April.

Presumably it's to coincide with all the other stuff being released this week.

Link to download ADKsetup.exe which I think is the same link as before (it's on the same page too).

I see it is now being described as a 'Release Candidate' ADK. More information at the bottom of this web page:

OK I think there's a new ADK out there... On this Technet forum thread someone has posted this:

Hi,

Use this adksetup.exe : http://t.co/T3Bh2NAkpY

Seems to be the newest version because I have files with 10.0.10240.16384

The shortened link decodes to a microsoft.com URL:

@Kyhi and @Kari, you might be interested if you weren't aware already...

Thank You David..

Want to test the provisioning packages

Yeah I've been itching to explore provisioning packages, although annoyingly I'm pretty busy for the next few days so don't know when I'll get the chance to do much.

what ever you do - do not follow this guide - as it is totally BOGAS
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...(v=vs.85).aspx

Code:

scanstate.exe /apps /ppkg C:\Recovery\Customizations\Name.ppkg /o /c /v:13 /l:c:\ScanState.log

Code:

scanstate.exe /i:migapp.xml /i:migdocs.xml /genconfig:D:\config.xml /o /v:13 /l:D:\ScanState.log

scanstate.exe /apps /ppkg D:\ProvPackages\Name.ppkg /o /c /v:13 /l:D:\ScanState.log

Is it all wrong or is it just the command they give (even I'd spotted that it says "/app" when it should be "/apps" !)

My customization package was 3.9GB

I install Win10 ADK
