Thank you for the Link and I think it is certainly an interesting application that can be quite useful. The wumt_x64.exe size is 14.3 MB and makes it less suitable to integrate it in PE_Tools, but we can use it as a standalone app.

In case booting from USB with PE is not available we can use Windows Shift Restart to arrive in Windows Recovery Environment. In WinRE blue menu Advanced Options we can use Command > notepad > File Open > Run as Admin WinNTSetup_x64.exe and Select Captured WIM file of Windows 10/11 x64 and use Setup for Apply in VHD e.g. Inject New System in VHD next to existing Windows. Thank you for making WinNTSetup v5.3.4 which is working quite well for many cases.

Very good and Thank You !

Can you Add a Tweak so that Password never Expires for LocalAccount UserName as defined in Unattend Installation ? After using WinNTSetup I normally Open Admin Command Window and give command: wmic UserAccount where Name='UserName' set PasswordExpires=False Without this command then Password would Expire which is unwanted.

Ok, I will check this and report about it later and try to find a solution.

That FAT32 Size Option is Unhidden when you use Windows 10 or 11 as Operating System and the Option is Hidden in Windows 8 or 7 Operating System that don't support 2 partitions on Removable Devices. So I suggest you to use Windows 10 x64 or 11 x64 as Operating System.

MinWin Install with Printer and Scanner Enabled in DrvStore_Inf.txt works OK, when Printer is Connected AFTER Install. Bluetooth Audio Device Added AFTER Install works OK, but Bluetooth cannot be Selected as Playback Device Can Print LibreOffice Document. I should say everything works except Selection of Bluetooth as Audio Playback Device

Hidden Option - Left-Click on "Mode:" region to get the blue arrows - Left-click on blue arrows to select Profile, normally Default is used

WiFi Connect is working OK in WinNTSetup 5.2.2 - Bluetooth Add Device now Failed - DrvStore_Inf.txt adjusted to Add Printer + Scanner - Setup Failed in Getting Devices Ready ... Froozen ==
