PLEASE NOTICE:

The tool and the method in this tutorial work without issues with the latest Insider Build 14267 ESD file, released today.

The tool was last updated on January 28, 2016; if you have downloaded the tool after that update you don't have to redownload it. If your tool was downloaded earlier, please remove it (delete the folder) and redownload before using it. The older version of the tool might create faulty ISO image or not work at all with Build 14267 ESD file.

Download link in the first post (step 1.3).

I just tried making the ISO and everything went just fine.

@Kari, Morning! I need some help real quick..... I have downloaded and installed 14267 TWICE (thru WU). The install.esd file, according to Kari's latest ESDtoISO says it is 14257 (option #5). I have done this twice and carefully copied files and re-downloaded Kari's package. I'm lost! Watermark on upgrade says 14267 but install.esd says 14257. ISO created says 14257 in details of setup.exe. I don't have a clue!

Is "Install.esd says 14257..." referring to the ESD info you get selecting menu item 3 in old tool or item 5 in the new one, the "ESD file info":

The information given by it is accurate:

If it says it's 14267 ESD file, you can be sure the ISO created from it will be 14267. The ISO always matches the ESD.

Thanks, Kari. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out HOW the install.esd from BT$/Sources is 14257 when I'm downloading 14267 thru WU!
