Trying this, Kari.First, please notice the words highlighted in above quote, the words I forgot and are missing from my post.
OK, a quite simplified explanation:
With Windows 10, Microsoft introduced a new deployment tool called Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (Windows ICD). It is part of Windows Assessment and Development Kit (Windows ADK).
Deployment and Imaging Tools are also a part of the ADK. It is a set of tools (commands), a set that when run will add special commands to Command Prompt, or rather you use this command add-on in Command Prompt interface.
Two really important components of Windows install media are boot.wim and install.wim files. To create them and write them to a bootable install media I use Deployment and Imaging Tools. First I need to write a WinPE image on my harddisk:
WinPE is needed to run Windows setup; extremely simplified you could say it's kind of mini operating system that takes care of install media boot and first phase of setup. After first reboot required by setup, WinPE is no longer needed, it giving control to Windows 10.
OK, when I have WinPE files saved on my machine let's say in WinPE folder on drive E:, and I have my Windows installation files stored on same drive in folder SetupFiles, and I want to create Windows ISO on drive X: with name Build14986x64.iso, I give the following command in Deployment and Imaging Tools (see oscdimg command options):
Code:oscdimg -m -u2 -bE:\WinPE\fwfiles\etfsboot.com E:\SetupFiles X:\Build14986x64.iso
See @DavidY's ICD video in Ten Forums video thread: Solved Windows 10 instructional videos by Ten Forums members - Page 108 - Windows 10 Forums
That's it, I have now a Windows install ISO file. At least in theory; as I said, I've had a long and unpleasant day and I am feeling extremely exhausted and sick, I simply cannot start testing this today.

I set up 14971 in VMware Player. Activated. Update for WIP says not connected to the Internet whereas Network and Sharing says it is.
