[suggestion] Better instructions to get oscdimg.exe directly from Microsoft

[Rust1667]

I think you could add these details so that people can get that .exe from Microsoft (to calm down possible controversies created by that CTT video). I used that .exe this way and it worked for me.

1 Download Windows ADK Package located @ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install 2 Install. During installation of Windows ADK, you only need to tick the part of the package called "Deployment Tools" to get the file. 3 After it's installed, you can find oscdimg.exe here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg

I should imagine it would be possible to automate the download process directly from Microsoft https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder/pull/43#issuecomment-1501074660

I like WGET (it's my preference, maybe because it's GNU); that said, CURL would also work. Here is with WGET: wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2196127 --output-document adksetup.exe

You can do a simple check with wget --version 2> nul SET $WGET_STATUS=%ERRORLEVEL%

...anything other than 0 it's not installed.

If the client doesn't have wget, provide the option to download from Chocolatey or winget . winget install "Wget"

Much of this code is available on my Dell Command Update module.

Wget is usually my go to when simply downloading files, however I used cURL because it's available without PowerShell on any Windows version later than 1803 (end of life). The batch script I mentioned downloads only the Oscdimg binary directly from Microsoft, which bypasses the requirement of having to download and install Windows ADK all together.

When I try to get the file via ADK Install I get this error

I don't use tiny11builder. I have stumbled upon this issue while searching for something else. :wink:

I created a PowerShell script to get the unattend XSD schema from Windows ADK which first installs it, therefore it should fix this issue. You might want to modify (you can freely do it).

The script is as follows. If you don't want to get the unattend XSD schema, you can remove the $out variable definition and skip all commands after # NOTE: STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO EXTRACT THE UNATTEND XSD SCHEMA. and you should add a different clean-up command: Remove-Item "$env:TEMP\adksetup.exe", "$env:TEMP\dotnet_4.7.2_dev_pack.exe".
