[question] Integration into install.wim / SetupComplete.cmd

[anonim1979-2]

Hello.

1. Is it possible to make changes to install.wim to have Edge removed and other tweaks (task etc.) integrated into it? (offline Edge_Removal.bat ) (Mainly: LTSC 2021).

2. If not, a version of Edge_Removal.bat that can be called from SetupComplete.cmd that doesn't exit script (uses exit/b ?) and waits for powershell window to do it thing before continuing execution?

I will explore that possibility but are there not solutions already for it? I'm sure there are

Windows auto installs edge after you click on update after a clean windows install. So this probably will not work even if implemented.

Stuff like MSMG Toolkit and NTLite already has the option to remove edge, but it does not work as microsoft re-downloads it during the initial update. It needs to be manually removed again after updates are done.
