Windows 10: So did anyone get spring creators update?

Thanks Tairiku, I shall continue having a play.

 

That altered code has changed something... its now downloading and creating the USB ISO. It didn't say what version is being downloaded... guess I'll know in a few minutes.

 

@ 56 % in case you were wondering. Its getting there......

 

Sounds good! *Thumbs

 

92% now. USB drive is flashing away now. Edit... its done. Yay.

I have to go out now and so this will be one to play with over the weekend although I might give it a whirl in a couple of hours. I've got fresh copies of all my software ready to install. Its probably around 6 or 7 hours work to get it all set up again as I want......

 

Hi folks
just started converting ESD to iso and will try as a VM later -- trying the EN GB edition (the US spelling / units / cackhanded date system / 12 hr clock etc drives me BONKERS so prefer GB edition). @cereberus -- now you know why it's easy to drink a Gallon of Ale in the USA !!!!!

Looking good to me.

 

Ha Ha - US gallon is only approx 6.5 UK pints, not 8 :-D.

 

Hi folks again
Installed as a VM but as usual network on file explorer only shows Windows computers otherwise simple install

I haven´t added any applications yet or messed around with it. This is the version that will be released not the insider preview.

Screenshots as in my post here

Well I've mostly finished all the setting up and customisation of a clean install but find I have hit an unexpected snag. An application I use requires the old .net framework, and this has never been a problem as I just enable it 'Programs and Features'.

The Spring Update is throwing up an error whenever I try. Within a couple of seconds of clicking OK (to make the changes) I get this error message. Clicking the help link brings this explanation up:

Code: https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/products/windows?os=windows-10 Error code 0x800F081F This error code can occur when an alternative installation source is specified and one of the following conditions is true: The location that is specified by the path does not contain the files that are required to install the feature. The user who tries to install the feature does not have at least READ access to the location and to the files. The set of installation files is corrupted, incomplete, or invalid for the version of Windows that you are running. To fix this problem, make sure that the full path of the source is correct (x:\sources\sxs) and that you have at least Read access to the location. To do this, try to access the source directly from the affected computer. Verify that the installation source contains a valid and complete set of files. If the problem persists, try to use a different installation source.[/quote] I'll investigate this one at leisure since I hardly ever actually need it although its nice to have for when I do.

Another odd issue is that the old winaero games (the original Vista games) still install OK but there is no games launcher that I can find. The .exe for each game works OK and as I only use a couple its no big deal to have to tiles, one for each game, rather than the single launcher.

And finally, all my re-installed programs seem normal, however Media Player needs a magnifying to use *Smile Everything else so far seems fine although I had to use my compendium of Shawns font size registry fixes to get the look I wanted.

 

And as I'm typing away this flashes up. I did not do anything.

 

Hi,
Where were you typing
No browser looks open :/
Nice popup message lol *Smile

 

Got it installed on Home Edition and so far everything is solid and stable!

 

I think I closed whatever I was doing and went back to look in detail at the message and then to take the screen shots. I might have just been tidying and organising stuff locally... can't remember now.

I see that both W7 Backup and Restore and File History made it through the gate again. That reminds me... File History. Must configure AOMEI again to do that. Next job *Smile

 

You can add it fine using DISM. This release just isn't as polished as previous ones.

Mount your ISO (assuming you made one) and, changing the E in the box below to wherever it mounted, run this: Code: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:netfx3 /all /limitaccess /source:E:\sources\sxs Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.17133.1 Image Version: 10.0.17133.1 Enabling feature(s) [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>[/quote] Presumably they will fix it (along with the rest of the niggles) in some CU after release so it is added again to Windows Features.
