UUP converter

Description

A basic UUP converter aimed for Linux users who don't have access to any Windows machine, but want or need to create an ISO image for latest Windows Insider version downloaded from UUP dump.

For obvious reasons this script will never support integration of Cumulative Updates to created images.

Usage

./convert.sh [compression] [uups_directory]
Compression options:
  • wim - standard wim compression (/Compress:max in DISM)
  • esd - solid esd compression (/Compress:recovery in DISM)

Usage examples

  • ./convert.sh - starts the conversion using files from UUPs directory and creates an ISO image with install.wim

  • ./convert.sh esd - starts the conversion using files from UUPs directory and creates an ISO image with install.esd

  • ./convert.sh wim MyUUP - starts the conversion using files from MyUUP directory and creates an ISO image with install.wim

Requirements

This script uses the following commands to do its work:

  • cabextract - to extract cabs
  • wimlib-imagex - to export files from metadata ESD
  • chntpw - to modify registry of first index of boot.wim
  • genisoimage - to create ISO image

If you use Debian or Ubuntu based distribution you can quickly install these using the following command:

sudo apt-get install cabextract wimtools chntpw genisoimage

If you use any other distribution, then you will need to check its repository for packages needed to run this script.
