[SOLVED] WinReducer 8.1 v1.27/v1.28 - Issues with update download, integration, windows store (x64)

Update download (also in v1.28, v1.26 still downoads properly):
Tools (Adobe Flash, Silverlight, etc.) are not downloaded

Update integration:
After installation I need to install over 20+ updates with releasedate prior to november

Image:
My ISO size with v1.26 was around 3.5GB and with v1.27/v1.28 it is around 2.6GB with the same settings. Not sure if this is related to the Update_3 that causes lees updates to be installed and a reduced image size. U found it too big to ignore.

Functionality:
In Windows Store I am unable to download applications. In v1.26 this worked with the same preset

Will upload my wccf if needed (do not know how, file is to big to include as code).

Hello,

1)

Tools (Adobe Flash, Silverlight, etc.) are not downloaded

They are downloaded, but their location just moved to "WORK -> INTEGRATE -> SOFTWARE -> x86 (or x64)" ! This is mentioned in the Changelog ...

* WinReducer 8.1 - v1.27 (28 November 2014)
...
- UPDATE : "TOOLS - Updates Downloader" : Move downloaded files, from "Various" category to the "WORK -> INTEGRATE -> SOFTWARE" folder
...

2)
All other troubles are not coming from WinReducer but from the latest Updates Catalog ... unfortunately, the Update 3 is not completely replacing all updates it should be ! This is really annoying and I'm thinking about reverted it to the previous 2014.11 WinReducer Updates Catalog while waiting for new information !

Thank you for the report and don't worry in all cases I will let you know ...

I was referring to the Tools, these are not downloaded at all (I checked every folder). With WinReducer v.1.26 and v.2014.11.2 (x64) they are downloaded.

Update:
Tried again Downloading the Tools (6 updates) with v1.28 no luck.
Downloaded the updates with v1.26.
Moved updates to the Work\Integrate\Updates\x64 folder of v1.28 and WinRedcuer Updates\Tools showed 6 updates.
Moved updates to the Work\Integrate\Software\x64 folder of v1.28 and WinReducer Updates\Tools showed 0 updates.

So the updates are recognized in th folder as changed with v.127, but just not downloaded since that version.

Update 2:
Installed a Reduced Windows and after installing all updates, Windows Store still does not work. For instance Minesweeper can not be downloaded (an error is shown).

hi, did you try it with the newest version ?

when i saw it right winterstorm has fixed some download problems

SOLVED IN v1.31 !

You could consider as solved ! There was a bug with some download files, which was fixed in v1.31 !

About the problem with Windows Store, have you activated : "Presets - Protect Modern UI Apps" ?

The download of updates seems to be in order now (just that it used to download more than 9 updates and now there are exactly 9).

Using the same settings as with v1.26 I still can not use the Windows Store, it crashed when I try to download MineSweeper. I protect the Modern UI Apps and I remove all Apps, but not the technical  parts such as Immersive Control Panel, Java Script, Windows Store itself.
Also I keep getting 26 updates after installation  + 1 optional (KB3000850).


I want to perform a reinstall, but it stays with testing for now. I am awaiting a build that is as good as v1.26.

With v1.33 still issues with 27 updates to be installed and applications not installed through Windows Store.

Hello,

I will have a look at this today.

Thanks for the report !

Hello,

1) About the problem with Windows Store, have you activated : "Presets - Protect Modern UI Apps" ?

2) About Updates : Have you integrated Updates 3 ?

1) I set proect Modern UI Apps and later also MS Online Account
2) I downloaded all x64 updates except for those related to .Net 3.5

Windows Store only works for me if I protect Windows Search (test with v1.35). Not sure what sub-component is causing issues. I am sattisfied with the result and will use this as a new installation.

Best wishes!

Hello,

Thank you for the information I will have a look ...

You could also consult this website page, in which you could find maybe some info :
http://www.winreducer.net/winreducer-81-database.html

I need to redesign the page but the essential is in it.

Thank you. I already consulted that page, it is very useful.
