[EX-100 - v2.2.6.0 - v2.2.7.0 - v2.2.8.0 ] [LTSC 17763.737 - 914] Stuck in Getting Ready

v2.2.8.0 is now throwing a .NET exemption and refuses to start, but even when it does I always get stuck at Getting Ready. I tried with previous versions, same thing. I bet Windows misses something I removed.

v2.2.8.0 and now 2.3.0.0 throw this:

System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

hi Dim

First of all: is your iso a Win 10 1909 iso ?

If yes then Net framework 4.8 is included, do not install it a second time

my Win 10 1909 iso  was registered when i downloaded it weeks ago from microsoft.

If Yours is alredy registered, do not register it a second time



Try this First :

In Presets Only

Automatic Removing Process

Optimize ISO Size

Protect Important Files

Protect Windows Activation Guy



in > Optimations

 Select only

ISO - Boot - Clean Boot Wim

ISO - Boot - Delete Unneeded Editions

ISO - Delete Unneeded Files

ISO - Windows - Delete Unneeded Editions

Windows - Registry Optimizer

Windows - Unneeded Files Cleanup

Do  not clean winsys as this gives most of the time problems.

some programs ( also Windows ) access the winsys directory ,cleaning gives problems 

If this is not working, then you need to winreduce your iso step by step,see what is working and taking notes

of it, in the end  and after a lot of trying it will work

Igave the same advice to  davidoff458

Do not think by selecting some items your winreduced iso  will work ,removing an item can change a lot of thing
and make your windows not working correctly

Also it may be possible You got an undetected bootvirus
Get Bootice and inspect  the partition table of your drives

I faced your same problem and the fix is very easy.
