Download Windows 10/11 ESD

[jsfitz54]

Two September builds added to the OP (builds 18362.356 and 18363.356 respectively). (lol it's time to choose, I installed 18363.356)
Updated new decrypter link

This link does not open for me: https://s1.rg-adguard.net/dl/decrypt/decrypt-multi-release_v190925.7z

Can I use the 1903 Decrypter or is there something new?

@jsfitz54 right click on the link and save as decrypt-multi-release_v190925.7z

When I run update, it downgrades wimlib despite the archive containing newer version.

The decrypter also never worked for me, ever. It never extracted anything.
Everytime I try to decrypt an ESD, select an image, then all editions, and create iso with install.wim, the result is always something along the lines of "18362.239 was unexpected at this time."

put it in a different location? Run it as admin? Sacrifice a chicken to Gaben?

Still will not download for me: network failed.

I do block 40 countries.

You mother clucker!

Can’t wait to install 1909 and find out what else they broke in the six months between releases.

((This update features some improvements to scheduling on computers with multi-core CPUs, too. As Microsoft puts it: “A CPU may have multiple “favored” cores (logical processors of the highest available scheduling class). To provide better performance and reliability, we have implemented a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores.”))

What's New in Windows 10's November 2019 Update, Available Now

Windows 10's 19H2 Update arrives in a few months. This is the smallest Windows 10 Update yet, but it'll install quickly. Think of it more like a service pack for Windows 10's May 2019 Update.

^ Haaaaaaaaaaaah. Yeah, right. XD

Actually... gives me an idea that I want to test. I need to wipe the drive as this current install is being quirky.

that update sounds like its for ryzen 3000, where some cores boost higher than others

I figured it out -sorta-. It is something to do with the file name of the ESD file. Just rename it to something like lol.esd .. It worked for me that way.

You mother clucker!

the decrypt-multi-release_v190925.7z download link should be working now as I've just downloaded it on my end using a Firefox browser

 

[Octopuss]

So does the decrypter decrypt anything for anyone else?

My issue is that it is located in Kazakhstan, which is a blocked country for my personal setup and routed through Russia. Do : https://www.ultratools.com/tools/traceRouteResult


Hop number: 11

Country: kazakhstan

Yes, if you are dong it right!

Make a new file folder, put Decrypt in that folder and Extract. Then add the ESD download inside that extracted file. Then use Decrypt.cmd. It finds the ESD in the file and starts the process.

The complied ISO will be located in the folder when the process is completed.

I always select the widest parameters for the Decrypt process, such as selecting all versions of Windows (home. pro, enterprise, etc)
In that way, the pen drive will load on any Windows PC (version) that you want to update.

I use Rufus to prepare the USB drive: https://rufus.ie/

You need a 16GB drive or larger that is unused.

Rufus has its own navigation as to the kind of setup (MBR or GPT/UEFI) you need to figure what works for you. (I do MBR)

It shouldn't matter where the install.esd is since the decrypter asks for exact path to it, should it? And I don't think it's the problem, because it reads it, shows the editions in it, and lets me proceed, but after the process starts, it throws out the error I mentioned.

The exact path also has a long string name, have you tried renaming the ESD to a shorter name like Fall 1909?

Then put the ESD like I said, if no go.

EDIT: The ESD you are working with can't be mixed with other ESD's, it needs to be isolated. That's why you put it all in a New Folder to create the ISO. It's the way the Decrypter works.

 

[Octopuss]

The path to the esd was something like c:\aaa\sources\install.esd, so length definitely couldn't be a problem.

well there's an alternative to esd decrypt-multi-release tool from abbodi called "esd-decrypter-wimlib" on github which I use most often and get much better success in ESD > ISO conversion with abbodi's tool

You've been complaining, for some time, that it does not work for you and it seems you are the exception, so it begs the question, what is different about your setup /non traditional? that is causing you problems?

Look at the snippit I added, post 620.

 

[Octopuss]

You keep going on how long file name of the esd is the problem and I should shorten it, and for the third time I am telling you it's "install.esd" in my case. I have no idea how else to explain it.

OK, your problem is then

This task does not require that you write anything. This is a copy paste or drag and drop operation.

If you read the GitHub directions from the link in post 621 you will see that my screenshot in post 620 is correct.

You MUST place the ESD inside the extracted Decrypter file. If it doesn't look like my picture then you are continuing to do it wrong.

You cannot have a folder with 2 or more ESDs in it and point to it. That's a fail. It MUST be placed inside like I described.

Show your screenshot. Do not rename anything. Redownload if you have to.
