Windows Media Player removal and Local Account creation problems

After removing Windows Media Player (Windows Media Player 32-bits) in Windows 10 Enterprise 1809 x64 it still shows up in the Start Menu and in the Optional Features' list (and if I remove it through the Optional Features' list it still shows up in the Start Menu although with a blank icon) but curiously if I don't remove it Windows Media Player doesn't show up in the Start Menu but shows up in the Optional Features' list.

Also, on the OOBE I'm directly taken to the Local Account part where I have to choose a name for it (instead of being taken to this part) when I might not always want to create a Local Account but use an already created Microsoft Account.

Keep in mind that in the attached preset I purposely didn't unselect Windows Media Player because like I explained before if I remove it Windows Media Player still shows up in the Start Menu and in the Optional Features' list (and if I remove it through the Optional Features' list it still shows up in the Start Menu although with a blank icon).

Thanks for the report, got a few of them for Media Player, will try to replicate on Enterprise (that might be the difference when I tried).
Expect a reply on Tuesday.

OOBE MSAccount skip is due to "Content Delivery Manager" removal, it was found it not be working and OOBE breaking. But it might have been only on RS6, will add the filter in next.

So, I'll have to have Content Delivery Manager which according to what I searched installs apps against my will? That filter will prevent the Windows Media Player removal?

Bugadifino because i only use 8.1.

If you cant remove then disable if you can, startups, services, scheduled tasks by any damn means possible. People are hung up about doing everything to the image, they hate doing stuff post install/after 1st logon, for me thats when the real magic happens.

If you cant disable then you just gotta live with it.

Do you know how to enable .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 in NTLite (I suppose it's in the Features' tab)?

Go to Updates page
Add "microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package..." from sources\sxs

There are two: microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~ and Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~pt-PT~. Which one should I add or should I add both? Also, will I have any problem with apps if I set the Only Use Latest CLR setting on?

Both, 1 package is the language pack for NetFx3.

Thanks. Should I integrate (if it's possible) the Microsoft Visual C++, and if so, which ones? I'm tired of being prompted to install some versions in order for some programs to work (just like with .NET Framework's case).

abbodi86 has a Visual C++ repack, you can install all the versions or select the ones you want, i have just stuffed all of them into 8.1, never have to worry again. :)

The problem is that I don't know which versions might be needed and if I select all of them the ISO might grew a lot bigger in size, right? Also, if I have a x64 image, should I integrate the x86 versions of Visual C++ or just the x64 ones?

You have to use switches to install specific versions or the main installer to install all of them which is what i did. :) Programs on 64bit os may need 32bit, 64bit or both. I have just captured a fully updated 8.1 with neets 3.5, 472 and his c++ and its similar to an untouched image, certainly not enough to worry about.

It looks like it doesn't have all the versions (maybe it doesn't need to) and there is even a Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86/x64) version, 3 Legacy Runtimes (x86) versions and a Universal CRT, whatever these 3 latest versions are (or 5, since Legacy Runtimes (x86) has 3 versions). How can I use the main installer to install all of them and after integrating the mentioned .NET Framework will I be prompted in the future to install more programs to be able to run them?

The main installer installes everything by default, let it run and watch it go. :) Any other questions then post them on its topic, abbodi always helps :)

So, I must do that and afterwards do the things I want to do with NTLite?
 
I got mine in a captured image that i lite later, just put the installer on the post setup page or run it after installation. :)
Its a silent installer anyway.

Is that going to delay Windows install for a long period of time (If I put it in the post setup page)?
