THE SIMPSONS HIT AND RUN ISO GAMECUBE WINDOWS 10
I soon discovered, however, that unlike for previous Windows 10 builds through 1803, FOD CABs are no longer available for download as of build 1809, and that (per this article, for example) they are only found on a separate “ FOD ISO” officially available only to “ Windows OEMs” (presumably the Dells, HPs, and Lenovos of this world) and Microsoft “ Device Partners” (the hardware folks) – no idea why that is! I did come across a rumor that it may be available to MSDN subscribers, but I have not been able to confirm it or locate it via that avenue (anybody?).
THE SIMPSONS HIT AND RUN ISO GAMECUBE INSTALL
No problem (I thought), done it before: install Windows from ISO, use WSUS and/or downloads from the Windows Update Catalog site for updates, and add any required additional features (“ Features On Demand”, aka FODs) from downloadable CAB files. For reasons we need not go into, the machine on which the build is being done has no Internet access, nor is the option to even temporarily give it access available.


I recently started creating a new Microsoft Windows 10 Build 1809 image at a client (happens to be the LTSC flavor, but that’s not relevant here). As it involves quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination, this post may qualify as Jacques Bensimon’s weirdest ever.
