Installing Windows Bundle Creators
From the Bundle and Media Manager dashboard, you can install Windows Bundle Creators and MDT Bundle Creators on selected targets.
In the Bundle and Media Manager dashboard, select the Windows Bundle Creators and Windows Media tab and click Install Windows Bundle Creator to start the wizard.
Here you can select the type of Bundle Creator you want to install (Windows Bundle Creator or MDT Bundle Creator), see the tools that they include, and the list of operating systems that can be deployed. MDT Bundle Creator is deprecated.
- The computers on which you install the Windows Bundle Creators must have direct internet access for the prerequisites to be correctly downloaded and installed through the wizard.
- You don't need to create an Windows Bundle for Windows 10/11 in-place upgrades. For more information, see Installing Windows 10/11 or Windows Server using in-place upgrade.
- If you select to install the Windows Bundle Creator on a target machine that already has deprecated deployment tools, the existing tools are not replaced. To ensure that the tools you select are downloaded on the target, check it beforehand and manually remove the preexisting tools if necessary. The deprecated tool combinations are listed in Deprecated Component Combinations for MDT Bundle Creator.
- The Windows Bundle Creator computer requires 7-Zip. Install your preferred version beforehand, or the version defined in the Fixlet 40 of OSD site (Deploy 7-zip) will be installed when running the task. You can then upgrade it manually later if needed.
