Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media

    My understanding is that after I click on "Play", Win10XPE.exe will create this folder "D:\Win10XPE\Target\", which will then be copied into the file "\sources\boot.wim" in Win10XPE_x64.iso. So, should I keep "Target" under 4 GB lest "boot.wim" cannot be copied into a FAT32 device? Which specific files and folders will be copied into "Target"?

    The Contents of "D:\Win10XPE\Target", which will then be CAPTURED/COMPRESSED into the file "\sources\boot.wim" in Win10XPE_x64.iso.

    So you would use Win10XPE to download the Media ISO to a NTFS formatted drive.then since you already in WinPE just mount the ISO and run the Setup.exe......
    I have just copied everything in "Win10XPE_x64.iso" into a 32-GB FAT32 USB stick, which is now bootable. If I create a second partition in NTFS and copy "Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso" into it, can Win10XPE access the second partition, mount the ISO, and run "setup.exe"?

    Newer Versions of Windows 10 support Multi-Partition "Removable" Drives....
    So Test Your Theory...

    Older Versions of Windows will only see the First Partition and will not see the second partition on "Removable" Drives...

    My "Win10XPE_x64.iso" was made from "Win10_1903_V1_Chinese(Traditional)_x64.iso", the latest version. So, should my theory be tenable?

    The Newest Retail Release of en-US Windows 10 1903.18632 "Install.wim" Contains 11 OS "Images" and has a total size of 3.99 GB

    I have Windows 10 Pro on my PC - If I extract and then use only the "Pro" index 6
    the Install.wim is reduced in size to 3.52GB

    I have NO need for or reason to Install the other indexes -
    thus reducing in size the 11 Image Install.wim to a Single Image Install.wim

    Yes the batch self-deletes after being run...

    To remove the Boot Entry
    Open Command Prompt(admin)
    type> msconfig

    select "Boot" tab -> Select "Win10XPE Recovery" -> Select "Delete" -> select "OK"
    Attachment 247726

    IF, after you Delete the Entry - you wish to recreate the entry - just run Utility again
    Thank you so much James.


    Little by little I am testing portable tools, some work, others do not, the logical thing.

    Perhaps in some future update malwarebytes ant and malware could be incorporated.

    And some galleries dll (alo runtimes).

    Thank you.

    As soon as Version 3.8 is figured out - otherwise use older versions 3.6 or prior...
    Although, another user has stated 3.8 works , I can not confirm, and user provided no other info..

    And some galleries dll (alo runtimes).
    Explain ...

    @Kyhi :
    Sir,
    Having a lot of fun. Great stuff!
    Just a confusion : When we are installing OS from within the XPE boot, we are supposed to run Setup.exe one from the Sources folder of the mounted ISO or one from the root of the mounted ISO ?
