Discord: umeaman: I just ran the Win11 Creator on the Windows 11 Pro iso downloaded by the same function and I find it odd that step 4 (saving the iso somewhere) requires oscdimg.exe to be installed for the step to proceed, but it isn’t installed and even though the main window that opened winutil says that it is installing winget, nothing more happens and the status log in Win11 Creator still repeats that oscdimg.exe is still not found after install attempt.
Any fix for this?
Discord: reverieviee: It should’ve installed itself through the winutil GUI, but if it didn’t, then try installing OSCDIMG yourself through winget and giving the ISO creator another try.
That’s what I did, but the problem is that it needs to be downloaded or installed BEFORE you run it. There should be something that checks if it’s installed before the iso is unpacked.
Discord: reverieviee: It does check, it’s built into the ISO Creator itself. It checks if you have oscdimg, then tries installing it with winget. If that doesn’t work then it obviously gives up and tells you to install it yourself
Discord: reverieviee:
Why does it check if one has oscdimg if many people aren’t that aware that they need it? I’m pretty tech savy, but some Windows users aren’t.
I mean, if it’s missing many users wouldn’t get any clear instructions on what to run next.
Discord: reverieviee: The logs show that I didn’t have it on my machine, and it installed oscdimg through winget. Non-tech savvy people don’t need to understand the underlying implementation, winutil already checks and retries by installing it itself
Discord: reverieviee: And if it still fails, you get a box letting you know how to install it manually. Most of the time it does not get to the failing point, that’s machine specific and we can’t control that
