Hi there!
I just download latest Windows 10 build file from microsoft.com that named 19045.2965.230505-1139.22h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_x64FRE_en-us.esd.
But every time I try to convert and create an ISO file it just failed and unable to install it or even edit it using MSMG Toolkit (failed to mount Windows 10 Pro N for example).
When I import this file to NTLite (free) the satus shows Isolated!
What is the corrcect way to create an ISO file from 19045.2965.230505-1139.22h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_x64FRE_en-us.esd file?
Thank you so much!

Your ESD file is only the Windows install image, it's not the complete ISO. If you want to make a bootable ISO, you need the full ISO for the boot image and other Setup files. NTLite says your ESD is isolated, because it was loaded without the ISO folder. This is a normal warning you can't make an ISO from a single ESD.

Another way is to take an existing W10 ISO, extract to a folder and replace the sources\install.esd with this file.

The current W10 ISO download and MCT both are 19045.2965, or you can use UUP dump.
 
That ESD is a pack of the entire image, NTLite supports it.
Either load an edition of your choice, e.g. Professional, or right-click on the ESD file and choose Convert - WIM, then press OK after it.
Attached screenshot.
Wait until all editions are passed, read the status bar.
That will make a new folder same name as the ESD with whole ISO content in it.

Use that folder as the image from then on, I would right-click on it and make a new Edit before editing, so you can always revert to the original without converting ESD again.

If the setup breaks, please specify exactly how and attach the preset with changes demonstrating it.
 
Thank you nuhi.

Thank you garlin I just noticed that when I try to mount ESD in MSMG Toolkit it encounter an error about missing Boot.wim:

and due to my geographic location I can't download Full ISO directly from Microsoft.

UUP dump files are safe to use!?

UUP dump images are safe to use.

Switching images between MSMG and NTLite can cause problems, because each tool makes different assumptions. If you want to use both, always use NTLite first. This way, any errors can be traced to NTLite. Otherwise no one wants to debug MSMG issues on this forum.

If you downloaded the ESD from above, it is fine, simpler than UUP.
Was there a problem using NTLite as shown to convert that ESD, what was the issue and attach the log %temp%\ntlite.log?
 
abbodi86's collection of pastebins was so massively long, I had to learn how to pack compressed data :oops:.
