I'm having problems creating a custom Windows 11 25H2 iso


Back to my doubt
What I didn't understand is how does Setup "know" which image to install?
Setup list some of the types on Install.wim (Home and pro). Where does the list came from? [1].xml?
It seems that [1].xml makes a kind of link between the Setup and the images on install.wim, am I correct?

[1].xml was created by DISM. But MS has better tools than you for packaging their own releases. You can use 3rd-party tools like wimlib or DISM++ to achieve feature parity when capturing your own images.

Setup will try to enforce the rules, regardless of how many images exist in the WIM/ESD.

If you're not constrained by the OEM key, or an existing Windows folder, or an explicit <InstallFrom> in the answer file. then Setup will obviously take the single image as the one to install.

you might need to flag the image edition e.g. Professional or whatever it is

can do it with wimlib or dism++


click FILE > Open Image File

Ciao Ragazzi, per me questo non ha funzionato.
Ogni volta che provo a customizzare windows 11 pro 24h2 e o 25h2 quando inserisco il file install.wim nella iso originaria , arrivato ad un certo punto mi dice che non il sistema operativo non può essere installato.
Qualcuno può aiutarmi? grazie
Ho eseguito varie modalità, anche tutte queste elencate da voi qui oltre che in giro per internet ma non riesco proprio a capire se sto sbagliando o hanno bloccato qualcosa quelli di microsoft o almeno cambiato, non so cosa pensare.

ps. volevo aggiungere che se modifico la iso originale di windows 11 pro 25h2 o 24h2 togliendo applicazioni non necessarie per me e configuro come piace a me e non installo nessun programma terzo, funziona perchè mi sembra ovvio, non creo nessun install.wim.
Solo se installo programmi terzi o ricreo il file install.wim tramite comando dism, allora sì! non si installa più come di può vedere nella cattura video qui sotto.

Ringrazio anticipatamente tutti e anche la modalità in cui mi sono registrato ora, molto velocemente senza nessun ritardo. Grazie di nuovo e spero che qualcuno sia così gentile da potermi aiutare.
