I already created an issue here: [[Bug]: Make2023BootableMedia.ps1 has errors · Issue #346 · microsoft/secureboot\_objects · GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/secureboot_objects/issues/346)

In summary:

I even updated the latest ADK with the patches and a June 2024 cumulative which is after the april update. Microsoft does say or later than the April 2024 update. And just FYI I had also tried the April update first.  
It was windows11.0-kb5043080-x64\_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu

But I still got the error:

> -MediaPath [media] does not have required binaries.  
> Make sure all required updates (2024-4B or later) have been applied.

The only way I could get it to work, I extracred ISO to a folder then mounted wim:

```auto
Copied c:\windows\boot to location in mounted wim file same location
Copied etfsboot.com from Windows kits folder to \boot folder
Committed changes
Ran the folowing:

Make2023BootableMedia.ps1 -MediaPath C:\Media -TargetType ISO -ISOPath C:\Media\ISO\Win11_Updated.iso

```

And it worked. Note, the above was after applying the msu update. After applying the msu update I was still getting errors, but copying over the \Windows\boot folder wasn’t enough, the Make2023BootableMedia.ps1 still had a missing [etfsboot.com](http://etfsboot.com) error. After I copied it over all worked great. I still don’t understand why the msu update alone didn’t work, but at least I have a way to make it work.

But the point is it should have worked after the msu update according to Microsoft.

Am I doing something wrong or are others having problems as well?
