No you don't miss anything. This a quite often occurring error, but not limited to the fast install way. On some machines I got this even multiple times trying to install from original Win7 DVD. I guess there some timing problem while initialize hardware that cause it.

@datanfsm WDS is not supported, only usual local windows sources are useable by WinNTSetup. The cmdlines.txt bug will be fixed. @Jotto Your right Windows can only access the first partition, but bootice can switch them. So you can have a hidden boot partition that windows ignores but still is bootable.

@Atari800XL Runafter will find a place on the proceed page. @conty9 Really don't understand what you mean with subst not working. I tried a few things and couldn't find an issue with it. @purjuju Have never tried booting windows form SD card, but it should be possible. However your problem comes from the PBR, maybe repartitionize your card can help. @Jotto Your right, there is something broken with the use of swm files. BTW: with bootice you can create a USB flash drive with multiple partitions. A FAT32 for the boot one and an NTFS for normal usage.

Thanks Atari800XL and conty9! I wish you all a happy X-Mas and a great new year. til then I'm on holidays

Sorry, but with this update packs it will not work. It would be to time consuming to support all this nlite madness.

There are also the vhd cmdlines that have changed. But you can see all current parameters in the F1 Help window.

@NotTakenUsername Hmm that's really wierd. I'm not a fan of registry cleaner, tuners or whatever, but even these could not override these setting without deleting them. Security warning will remain for all files, only new wants should be free of it. Can't remember which software adds this warning to downloaded files. Think it was IE, Chrome and mybe Firefox, too. But Opera never did this @click-click It's shorter now: C:\Toolbx\WinNTSetup\WinNTSetup_x86.exe nt5 -cfg:XP_WinNTSetup.ini

@NotTakenUsername Save following as *.reg file and double click it to re-enable these 2 tweaks. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\usbhub\hubg]"DisableOnSoftRemove"=dword:00000001A separate tool isn't really necessary, is it? @Wimb Thanks for the info! Seems it's the fast boot feature of Windows 8 that reset the hibernate option. Should now be fixed. BTW: What software you using to create the video?

Update v 3.05 - mount system drive check box is gone - tweaks that are not compatible with the OS to install are now hidden - new cmdline option to load a language, ex.: -lng:1234 will load the file Lang\1234.dll

Yeah, the TakeOwnership tweak should not have been added at to version 2 and is now removed. Would be easy to hide the last 3 tweaks from GUI, if and older OS ins set to be installed. But it's that necessary or would a better description be more useful?

Sorry for the delay. No, that sadly not possible. ESD files are just encrypted WIM files like password protected RaR files. But I'm not aware of any possibility to use them with the WIMGAPI library. @tiagotecno Thanks for the new language. There currently no way to manually load a language. But with v3.04 a file called "language.dll" in the Lang will always be preferred. So you can have loaded your language independent to the host os language @tordenflesk Never seen such an error message. Do you have a modded XP source?

Thanks for the info, felix17. I've updated the zip file with Bootice version 1.3.1.

Right click on title bar and select Create Language File. You will get the the English template ready to translate.

This one i could not reproduce, the other 4 should be fixed now. Yes this a bug. The drive label is created from the filename, but labels are limited to 32 characters. It's fixed in version 3.0.3.

Okay time for a Final version! WinNTSetup 3.0 RTM

Hmm, updates in pending state are evil and not supported by WinNTSetup. But maybe this won't create any problem with windows 8.x. Well, so far I can not say about how to prevent it, as I don't see here any animation

@alacran Thanks, I forgot to mention there were some formation changes. @Atari800XL I'll leaved as it is, even if it's not entirly correct. I don't think there are so many people that use Win8 on that old hardware. I just will add something to the main GUI, maybe an stop icon, that shows depending on the selected wim. @jaclaz It's OK that you have a queer opinion about x64 OS, but please refrain form your convert mission here.

Thanks Chris! Beta3 maybe the Final version, if nobody reports bugs in the next weeks.

@Atari800XL Good observation, there seems to be indeed a difference in how hidden partitions are treated between NT5 and NT6. @alacran Thanks, I've updated both.

Nothing changed as far as I know. All fixed partitions with a drive letter are searched for. It would be possible to also scan hidden partitions, but don't think that would be so useful.

So one last beta WinNTSetup v3 Beta3 (10/15/2013) - Windows 8.x no longer requires to download tools - fixed bootsect.exe not found error when running in Windows 8.x - fixed some problems running x86 version under x64 OS - fixed tweak to disable shortcut icon wasn't working - Help text is now ASCII, so you can edit the language.dll easy with ResHacker Unicode and UTF-8 are still supported of course

Thanks for the info, it's good to hear these huge updates install nicely with DISM. Let's hope a properly coming "Rollup B" will also work with off-line install.

Thanks a lot alacran Coming to think of the small complication with help file translation, the reason I chose Unicode was compatibility. But is this actually necessary, as the language is loaded depending on your current OS. Would not any encoding work here?

Meigyoku, it's not clear to me what you mean with "the software say: Do not see EFI partition" WinNTSetup mounts all EFI system partitions to the highest available drive letter, usually Z: If the disk setup is obvious, it will also set the right EFI partition by default, if not you have to select it. If the 3rd icon is red your selection will not be bootable.

Thanks alacran To translate help resource you can use Reshacker commandline to extract: reshacker -extract 1031.dll, HELP.txt, RCDATA, HELP, And to modify the dll with the new help.txt. reshacker -modify 1031.dll, 1031.dll, HELP.txt, RCDATA,HELP, WinNTSetup v3 Beta2 (10/11/2013) - fixed VHD tooltip wasn't updated after creating VHD - new hotkey Ctrl + Shift + O for offline Windows page - some fixes for running SFX version
