    WinNTSetup 4.2

    - no longer needs Tools\DarkMode.msstyles
    - disabled multicore feature on 32bit Host by default
    - fixed hotfix uninstall on Windows 7 Host
    - fixed WIMBOOT:WIMCOPY mode on Windows 10 2004 Host
    - cmdline -noapply does not need a sources defined anymore
    - fixed NT5 install did not overwrite existing txtsetup.sif
    - cmdline VHD-CREATE and VHD-ATTACH return errorlevel for driveletter
    - updated wimlib to v1.13.3 Beta1

    *v4.2 will be the last 32-Bit version, 4.3 will require Win7x64 as HostOS!

    Plus:
    - Undocumented nice feature for Unattended Install :worship:
      where
      LocalAccount = UserName
      FullName = RegisteredOwner
      Organization = RegisteredOrganization

    Thanks for this handy feature :thumbup

    Another topic, I have serious BSOD problems with Windows 10x64 version 2004 as described in

    BSOD Crashes Windows 10 since May Update

    What do you think about it ?

    How to modify Ventoy USB Drive to have unhidden 130 MB FAT32 EFI Drive

    1. Ventoy2Disk.exe is used first to Format USB Portable SSD
    2. Ventoy Hidden EFI Drive on USB must be made visible
    -  In Windows 10x64 use DiskPart > list vol and than select vol of EFI (in my case nr 14) - assign - EFI drive is mounted as e.g. Q:
    -  Also possible is: After booting with Win10XPE from RAMDISK the Hidden EFI Drive is auto mounted
    3. Copy folders and files from Ventoy EFI drive to folder e.g. V_EFI on your harddisk
    4. In Windows Explorer Format Ventoy and EFI drive with NTFS FileSystem
    5. In Windows Disk Management Remove Ventoy EFI partition
    6. Reduce Size of Ventoy NTFS drive by 100 MB
    7. In unused space Create New simple Volume with Label EFI and Size 130 MB and Format with FAT32 FileSystem
    8. Copy folders and files from V_EFI folder back to your new created EFI partition
    9. Modify or Replace on Ventoy EFI drive file grub\grub.cfg as indicated above
    10. Copy some Linux ISO file and / or Win10XPE_x64.ISO and WinPE.iso file and folder Win10XPE with WIM file to Ventoy NTFS drive
    11. Use UEFI_MULTI_x64.exe in Win10x64 OS - Select EFI drive as Boot Drive and Ventoy drive as System drive
    12. Use UEFI_MULTI_x64.exe in Win10x64 OS - Select PE WIM e.g. boot.wim or Win10XPE.wim file Or Win10x64.vhd as Boot Image file
    13. Click GO to make MultiBoot Ventoy Drive booting with WIM and VHD file in Windows BootManager and booting with Grub4dos Menu and Grub2 Menu

    Thanks, but I mean a proper document just for WinNTSetup not a general guide on how to install Windows.

    The manual should include all the special hotkeys (e.g. ctrl+shift+d, function keys, parameters, etc.) and special switches which are currently undocumented.

    The first post in this thread provides some details but not ALL details.

    Sure I know, but the given Manual can be helpful and is NOT general but specific on using WinNTSetup :w00t:

    A complete description with ALL details and Screenshots just for WinNTSetup will be better of course.

    Posted · Edited by wimb

    Update USB_FORMAT-41 and UEFI_MULTI-41 plus the Addon-glim-agFM files

    - USB_FORMAT - Make PE-Boot-WIM entry in Boot Manager Menu for booting with boot.wim file from RAMDISK
    - After Format Drive simply copy your PE boot.wim file to USB Boot drive

    - USB_FORMAT - Make Win10x64.vhd  VHD entry in Boot Manager Menu for booting with Win10x64.vhd file as FILEDISK
    - After Format Drive simply copy and rename as Win10x64.vhd file in USB NTFS drive  of Portable SSD
    - VHD FILEDISK option can only be added for Fixed USB Drives and Windows 10 Or Win10XPE as operating system

    - The iso folder of Grub2 Live ISO Multiboot is moved to the root of USB Boot Drive
       instead of being a subfolder of EFI as implemented in SuperUEFIinSecure Boot Disk v3 Release
       The reason is that iso folder inside EFI is a source of trouble for booting Linux ISO files
    - Simply Copy Your Linux ISO file to iso\YourLinux folder

    - Update of a1ive Grub2 File Manager to v7.1.2
    - Update of Manual Win10_Install.pdf
    - In Win10x86 Or Win8.1 x86 OS - Support for UEFI x86 with file efi\boot\bootia32.efi from firmware file Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi

    Hi wimb, JFX,
    Yeah, the site down for the 2nd time, and for a while now, I'hope it's in intensive care.
    I'm not working on it but at the request of a few, I uploaded the latest package on github 2 months ago here https://github.com/ChrisRfr/Win10XPE
    It is cut in 2 parts, Win10XPE_2019-12-19.7z.001 and .002 in accordance with the 100 Mb Github size limit
    Kyhi(James) also shares the projet with additional 3rd party Apps plugins on tenforums here: Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media

    Hallo ChrisR :)

    Thanks for your help and to give an alternative site at GitHub for download of Win10XPE :thumbup (the best PE ever made)

    Update of Manual:  

    - Added Section: How to make USB Drive booting with various Linux ISO versions in BIOS and in UEFI Secure mode

    UEFI_MULTI supports three ways to Boot Linux ISO files:

    1. Boot from USB straight with Grub4dos menu entry in BIOS mode Or with Grub2 menu entry in UEFI Secure mode - method is fast and reliable
       menu entries are already available e.g. for linuxmint.iso - runtimelivecd.iso - knoppix.iso - ubuntu.iso - ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso
    2. Boot from USB with a1ive Grub2 File Manager, which is a blackbox that enables to select Linux ISO - available in BIOS and UEFI Secure mode
    3. Boot from USB with AIO Boot - previous Integration of Linux ISO generates Grub4dos and Grub2 menu entries
       Method 2 and 3 are useful in case menu entry for method 1 is not (yet) available, but otherwise method 1 is preferred

    addons  v7-beta3 with support for a1ive Grub2 File Manager - agFM

    Use R-mouse 7-zip menu to Extract here will Add the content of addon to existing folder
    Confirm Overwrites with yes

    x64 Program with setting Other EFI Manager will Copy .....\UEFI_MAN\efi content to folder EFI on USB FAT32 Boot Drive
    x64 Program with setting Other EFI Manager will Copy .....\UEFI_MAN\ENROLL_THIS_KEY_IN_MOKMANAGER.cer to root of USB FAT32 Boot Drive

    In this way the files of a1ive Grub2 File Manager and Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk_minimal_v3 are Added to the USB Multi-Boot Drive

    Personally I prefer to have Portable SSD booting in BIOS and UEFI Secure mode from USB with Win10XPE (most powerful) from RAMDISK and Win10 VHD as FILEDISK.
    If desired one can add Ubuntu or Knoppix ISO booting with Grub4dos in BIOS mode and with Grub2 in UEFI Secure mode using the supplied Linux menu entries.
    Adding a1ive Grub2 File Manager agFM is not needed and booting through agFM is often slower and less reliable for the Linux ISO files.
    agFM is looking nice and is especially quite useful to boot Linux ISO files for which no entries are given yet to boot straight with Grub4dos or Grub2.

    Linux ISO Info:
    UEFI Secure boot support requires Format Drive using Grub2 as EFI Manager
    Copy and Rename your Linux ISO files to folder images on FAT32 USB Boot drive U-BOOT
    Supported filenames for Linux ISO in folder images are:

    linuxmint.iso and runtimelivecd.iso and knoppix.iso and ubuntu.iso and kali-linux.iso and Porteus.iso PassWord=toor

    Download:  Linux-Mint and Knoppix-Live and Ubuntu and Porteus x86_64 and Kali 64-bit Live

    Booting Linux ISO files in images folder:
    UEFI mode - Linux Mint Grub2 booting with FAT32 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI and \Boot\grub\grub.cfg and grub_Linux.cfg Menu
    UEFI mode - Super UEFI Grub2 booting with FAT32 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI and \grub\grub.cfg  and grub_Linux.cfg Menu

    USB_FORMAT_2020-07-07_160548.jpg.66051cc56b122d2a8fab60c0f9004e24.jpg


    In case UEFI Grub2 is not available as Boot option in your F8 Boot Menu then you need to use BOOTICE 1.3.3.2 to Add UEFI entry.
    Unneeded for USB-Stick, but UEFI Grub2 boot entry is easily lost in case of Portable SSD.
    Select as UEFI Boot entry the Linux Mint Grub2 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI

    a1ive Grub2 File Manager Info:
    Not needed since booting straight with Linux ISO using Grub4dos in BIOS mode and Grub2 in UEFI mode is preferred.
    But if you prefer support of a1ive Grub2 File Manager - Download Addons at wimb GitHub

    Use R-mouse 7-zip menu to Extract here will Add the content of addon to existing folder and confirm Overwrites with yes

    In x64 program use Super EFI Manager as setting for support of a1ive Grub2 File Manager
    In this way the files of a1ive Grub2 File Manager and Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk_minimal_v3 (more info) are Added to the USB Multi-Boot Drive
