Recently MS updated the Media Creation Tool to 22621.1702 which uses Install.ESD
I often customise the install.wim
The standard iso has not been updated and install.wim is still 22621.575
I have written a simple batch file that converts the install.esd to install.wim (.1702).
Of course, this is only remains valid until next build comes out so it is debatable if it is worth doing really but I prefer to install a later build as my starting point.

Code:
rem convert standard install.esd to install.wim
rem change drives and folders to suit
Rem - mount standard mct iso with install.esd and note drive e.g. G
REM the : must be included
SET ESD=G:
REM - by default, install.wim will be in root but you can add path e.g. e:\temp - folder temp must exist
REM the : must be included
SET WIM=E:\temp
