Hi, I'm a service technician and a coworker of mine made a working ISO for Win 10 PE years ago that I've been using. They've since moved on and I'm hoping to make an updated version with more tools. I used the PE ISO to find your website, and have been experimenting with the WinBuilder Win 10 PE SE tool since. I've read through the beginners guide and watched youtube videos, much of the information on how to use the tool and create the ISO seems to be dated. I understand the tool has changed over the years, but I'm not trying to build any custom scripts or insert 3rd party plugins, just use what's already there. As it stands, I've run into multiple roadblocks, all making the instructions you've created less useful than I'd hoped.
I'm only trying to generate a basic ISO first, before complicating things with plugins, just to make sure it's working. The first issue was the sudden redirect after hitting the blue play button and waiting for a moment, to this new Azin project that seems to be generated. Then, trying to create that project didn't work initially because the ISO I had (where ever it was originally from) was wrong. Now, after getting a new ISO from Techbench, I've passed that step. Instead, now it stops at the Azin Downloader stage with the attached error of "could not download BCDEDIT.exe", saying to check my connection and proxy settings. I don't have a proxy (at the moment), I've added the program and ISO folders to Windows Defender exceptions, I've tried both 2009 and 2004 ISOs, enabled networking under tools. What am I missing? Because all network testing is saying my connection is fine. Do I need to forward a port on my router or something? Please help.
