dism StartComponentCleanup ResetBase directly on offline image

Thank you, victor123, for the hint. I solved it by not letting winreducer create an ISO in one go, so I can execute

Dism /Image:D:\WinReducer\WinReducerEX100_x64\WORK\MOUNT\TEMP_Windows /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

After that I let winreducer create the ISO.

Ok then. The above command does the same that clean winsxs folder cleanup (install.wim) in winreducer does; does windows update works after the command;

Yes, the unreduced but (integrated) updated ISO is updateable:



Therefore I think the command in my last post ist not what happend when winsxs folder cleanup is performed. I never was able to make a CU after I used winsxs folder cleanup. An the other way round I wasn't able to use the DISM-command above after I integrated NetFX3. But when I reduce the updated and cleand ISO, I use winsxs folder cleanup successfully.

Sorry but just to clear. I have an untouched iso. In this iso i integrate updates and remove components. the time to use the above command is

1. when i first mount the iso and before i press apply in winreducer(can i integrate netfx;);
2. i press apply, i let winreducer finish and then i mount the iso again and use the dism command;

if you tell me step by step the procedure so that the resulting iso is updatable i would be grateful.

It is not a good idea to integrate updates and reduce windows in one step. The reason is that winreducer integrates the updates at the very end, after the reductions! So for example a cumulative update would integrate again stuff you just reduced.

I always do it in two steps: First I produce (using winreducer) an updated ISO with no reductions, and second I use winreducer to reduce this ISO.

So, step by step I do this:

1. Load an official ISO in winreducer.

2. Just use "integrate updates" and "delete unneeded editions". Not write to ISO in one step.

3. After finishing: Dism /Image:D:\WinReducer\WinReducerEX100_x64\WORK\MOUNT\TEMP_Windows /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

4. Write to ISO

5. If you need NetFX3 you must use Winreducer again to integrate it.

6. Usind Winreducer to reduce this ISO, including winsxs folder cleanup if you like.
