Windows 11
Hi All!

I'm using the MSMG Toolkit to create a custom Windows 11 image for my own systems; I've added drivers and tweaked it as much as I can / as much as the toolkit allows. What I'd like to do now, is to add 3rd party installers and have them automatically be placed in either the Desktop or Downloads folder once Windows 11 has been installed. Programs such as Google Chrome, Google Drive, Adobe Reader etc.

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Do a clean install
When it ask to create a User profile, enter Sysprep (Ctrl + Shift + F3). It will reboot and show a screen like below. Hit cancel.

Now you are logged as Built in Administrator.
Install the programs, drivers and whatever you want. Place the shortcut icons on public desktop.
When done, restart. Back to the Sysprep window, choose enter. It will reboot and bring you back to OOBE.
Till here I have done it many times.
Shut down and create a drive image to be restored on an installation.
You can convert the Windows partition into a Install.wim and place on a Win 10 installation drive (I never done it so I can't help you). @SIW2 or NavyLCDR may help you with wim images.

When does it ask to "create a user profile" on a clean install.
