Insider KB5038575 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26120.961 (24H2) - June 14

Also - after making bootable USB stick with Rufus + the tweaks in Rufus the USB version does not launch in Windows. Flashes a window but does not start.
And when booting from that USB the repair install option is not present either.

I'm downloading from uupdump and making the ISO 26120.961.
I don't need Rufus for creating the USB installation media, can be easily done without Rufus.
Anyway, for an update/repair in place the ISO should be all I need.
It will take a while to get the ISO ready, I'll let you know how it goes when it is done.

Here is the ISO, now I will try an update/repair in place.

Usually I use VirtualClonedrive to mount ISO to virtual drive.
Anyway, D:\sources\setup.exe launches both on Virtual drive and Rufus-made USB. But again the error is the same.

This upgrade path is not supported. Please close Setup and re-launch from the root of the media or go back and pick a different installation choice.

I guess I'll just wait for a newer Dev build to fix this.

Here it goes, works fine for me just doing setup from the mounted ISO. Not from Sources folder.

No idea what your problem is. Looks pretty normal here.

Something is wrong in your procedure. Looks like you are trying to do a clean install instead of an update in place.

Edit:
Since I was bored, just to waste more time today, I also tried with a USB flash prepared with Rufus and the result is exactly the same as with the mounted ISO when using the setup.exe in the root of the Rufus USB flash.

I can keep files and apps.

I think your procedure is for doing a clean install not an update or an upgrade, that is why you get that message.

The message is pretty clear, launch setup from the root of the media.

fg2001gf11F is absolutely correct. It's been that way from the very first version of Windows 10, if you launch the Setup.exe from the sources folder it does a clean install, if you run the Setup.exe found in the root of the install USB or ISO it performs an in-place upgrade.

Yeah, well wherever I launch the setup the result is indeed the same.

I did that just to test if Rufus-made USB install-media even runs. As I said earlier - when running setup.exe on F:\ nothing happens besides a flicker of a window.
That flicker also appears when I run setup.exe on mounted "pure" ISO, but then the setup continues. Alas not being able to keep files and settings.
But yeah, not much point speculating what's wrong. I think after a couple of newer Dev builds the problem should be gone for me.

Clearly either your ISO is screwed up or you are doing something wrong.
Whatever makes you happy. Good luck.
I have no problem with the ISO nor with the installation media on a USB stick.
I rarely use Rufus. I make the USB installation media without Rufus.

Tried multiple times with Dev and Canary downlaods. Former - no luck. Latter works like advertised. But yeah, can't nobody probably can help with that. Neither with or without Rufus.
But I'm not a spring chicken, I've used UUPdump ISOs for years.

It doesn't matter how old of a rooster you are, if you cannot figure out why you are having the problem.

Create Windows 11 Bootable USB Installation Media

If you are referring to how I make the USB media without Rufus. The procedure is reported on different web sites and also by MS.

1) If the size of install.wim or install.esd is less or equal to 4GiB, I just copy the mounted ISO contents directly to a USB flash drive formatted with FAT32 file system.
2) If the size of install.wim or install.esd is greater than 4GiB, we need to split the file into install.swm and install2.swm first and then copy the files to the sources folder instead of the original install.wim or install.esd.
Here below is an example of a split install.swm and install2.swm. Note each of that the 2 files are less than 4GiB.
If you have an ISO editor, you can replace the 2 files in the ISO, or you can just copy them to the USB Flash in place of the install.wim or install.esd that are too big to fit on the FAT32 file system.

Here is a sample of the DISM commands to split the install.wim or install.esd when they are bigger than 4GiB:

Here again to avoid the silly conversion done by the web site.

Code:

Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:D:\uup-dump\install.wim /SWMFile:D:\uup-dump\install.swm /FileSize:3800

Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:D:\uup-dump\install.esd /SWMFile:D:\uup-dump\install.swm /FileSize:3800

Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:D:\uup-dump\install.wim /SWMFile:D:\uup-dump\install.swm /FileSize:3800

Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:D:\uup-dump\install.esd /SWMFile:D:\uup-dump\install.swm /FileSize:3800

File size limit for FAT32:

I wonder why I can't "repair install" since I installed 26120.770 with same version or newer Dev channel ISO from UUPDump while keeping apps and settings.
When trying to "upgrade" to latest Canary ISO then the option to keep files and settings is present.

Why could that be?View attachment 99216

@Tan316.
Here is the same situation that you show above. The message is exactly the same as yours.
But you are not showing the exact build you have currently installed and trying to upgrade or update with this ISO 26120.961.
Without that it is not possible to know why you get that message.

There is an easy way to reproduce this situation and that could be the explanation for your problem too.

You can also check the setupact.log in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther to see what it says.

Hello Brink,
Why are they listing all these Canary Builds under DEV in uupdump site?
We know that the latest Dev is 26120.961, seems to me they are just creating confusion.
Any build above 26120 in that list is a Canary Build not DEV. They show the same list for Canary and Dev.

Any explanation?
