That's odd. I just downloaded the ISO image and was still offered build 1742.

EDIT: Ok, I think I see where I went wrong. I need to use the actual MCT option and not the direct ISO download option. Trying that now. Will update when done.

EDIT: Confirmed. Had I followed the tutorial <precisely>, then I would have received build 4349. Note that this method will give you an ISO image with an install.esd rather than an install.wim (yuck!). I recall that in the past MS always lagged with the "real" ISO containing the install.wim by a few days for some reason.

24H2's ISO hasn't changed since last year. 🤷‍♂️

MS pushed a new products.cab for MCT (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2156292).

MCT will download this file whenever it runs, unless you use the /SelfHost command-line option to ignore it and provide another products.cab file.

Hi.

Today I have posted a thread, about MCT, thinking that a new MCT tools is released. But fortunately, I saw this thread and went back to my own thread to delete it because it happened to be redundant. But there was no "delete thread option" or "edit thread option" to put a note.

I am sorry for this.

Note: I also downloaded Windows 11 today 1) direct ISO file download (Build 26100.1742) and 2) MCT ISO file download (Build 26100.4349). I didn't know by now that both downloads were totally different versions from each other. Direct ISO download included many editions whereas MCT tool downloaded one edition.

No worries. :alien:

This is normal. MCT is often updated for the new build first, then sometime later the direct download option.
