Very WIP but my GliderUI implementation of an interface for Splitter is coming along. The GliderUI module is an excellent #PowerShell wrapper for the Avalonia toolkit. Splitter is a tool for working with Windows installtion media. github.com/steviecoaste... to see more!
An image of the first pass at a UI for Splitter, a Windows installation media creation toolkit. Split ISOs, inject drivers, packages, files, autounattends, and build bootable Windows ISOs.

Splitter is on the #PowerShell Gallery! More than just splitting ISOs, it can now slipstream drivers, packages, & files, and use custom autounattend.xml files. Check it out:

I made Splitter so that I could take Windows Server 2025 eval ISOs and split them into Standard/Datacenter ISOS w/ & w/o Desktop Experience. The resultant ISOs aren't much smaller, but they're targeted, which means less room for error. It can do more, too. Check it out.
