To use it, u can smiply just run the script inside Powershell as Administrator dont forget to cd first to your .\tiny11builder-main project location.

Hi @rezytijo
The errors is probabley thown cause the folder containing the files is owned by TrustedInstaller.

You need to change the owner of the folder. Or removing it with TI rights.

Hi @incaib

I only shared the solution in case someone else faces the same issue in the future.
Personally, I always delete projects once I have finished using them and know I won’t need them again for a long time,
or if an error occurs and I need to redeploy the project folder from scratch.

Best regards.

Hi @incaib
With the latest version of the script, all files created by the process of tiny11 are removed automatically at the end. (see here)
Normally no more user interaction are needed.

[rezytijo]

Yes, its a rare case.

On me, my notebook just hank when building the image so its make same process error and i need to redeploy the project file

[Miiraak]

That's strange, do you still have the log file ? That can be interesting to see.
