    WinNTSetup v5.4.1

    in Install Windows from USB

    Posted

    I could reproduce your problem.

    After formating the drive under Windows XP, the Partition will have a NTLDR loading PBR.

    The MBR of the mounted disk is not visible to the Host OS. So MBR and Boot Flag will be red.

    Main problem is that tools like bootsect or bootice can not change the PBR of a VMware mounted partition.

    I'm not sure how i solve this in future versions, but you can try following:

    After Winntsetup has finished make a copy of bootmgr in the selected bootdrive and rename it to NTLDR.

    OK, something is wrong... i've this modded W7 OS (Tiny7, which you can search at the usual place) and your app failed to install that OS (but OS installs fine from CD boot) :unsure:

    hmm, what could be wrong here? :whistle:

    However, I will not add support for any Warez release. Use a clean, preferable unmodded Windows version. ;)

    Is there a readable version of the regtweaks and how they are applied by V2?

    tweaks.au3

    IF you want RunOnceEx method similar to http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ then try following:

    After Winntsetup finished create a folder on the installtion drive called install

    Add your software to that folder.

    create a cmd file inside this folder, like the following and run it.

    @echo off

    Reg Load HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE %~d0\Windows\system32\config\software
    SET KEY=HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /F /D "Installing Applications"

    REG ADD %KEY%\005  /VE /F /D "Java Runtime 6"
    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\jre-6u24-windows-i586-s.exe /s /qb /norestart"

    REG ADD %KEY%\010  /VE /F /D ".NetFX 4.0"
    REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /norestart /passive"

    REG ADD %KEY%\015  /VE /F /D "AutoIt v3"
    REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\Autoit3\autoit-v3-setup.exe /s"
    REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 2 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\Autoit3\SciTE4AutoIt3.exe /s"

    reg unload HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE

    The setup of windows vista and later does not use a cmdlines.txt during installation.

    So for windows 7 winntsetup loads the registry hives of the prepared windows installation and writes the tweaks directly.

    I don't know if there is an alternative to cmdlines.txt in windows vista or later :unsure:

    Command prompt and TakeOwn tweaks are currently on the hidden extended menu, (holding shift while right clicking).

    I will change it for Command prompt as suggested.

    a black screen (after bios) would mean that MBR and /or the PBR was not updated.

    Make sure you choose an active primary partition and choose to update the boot configuration (default on "Ready?" GUI)

    In case you have multiple disks in your PC, make also sure you choose the boot partition on disk 0.

    And it shouldn't be dedicated to "USB only", if I am not mistaken. :unsure:

    Well, you right, not the most correct forum section

    Let's hope that whoever tests it will be so kind as to (please read as "anyone testing it please do") provide - for the benefit of the less expereinced users - some details on the various available options, and their usage.

    hmm, yeah i could add tool tip/balloons for every check box

    Thanks for reminding about the ini file :) Added to first Post

    More command line options could be added, if requested.

    Not Supported:

    • - No Windows embedded version (this includes WinFLP)
    • - No upgrades of existing installations



    About driver installation:

    Every driver added in NT6.x windows will be added to the driver store.
    So it's not recommended to add countless driver, but rather more really required ones.

    NT5.x massstorage driver integration is possible thanks to Mr dUSHA powerful MSSTMake.exe tool


    To the Unattend option:

    It's possible to use an unattend.xml to run the Setup unattended.
    But as the actual WinPE Setup Phase isn't effective in that way of install, all Winpe related settings inside the unattend.xml
    won't be applied.


    Ini config file

    It's possible to save all GUI-settings to a ini file:

    push Ctrl + S to save all settings to an ini.
    push Ctrl + L to load all settings from an ini.

    A WinNTSetup.ini file in the same dir as the app itself will be loaded automatically at startup.

    It also can be selected via command line:

    WinNTSetup.exe /cfg:"C:\mysettings.ini"

     

    If you want to modify ini settings yourself, click-click has made a nice PDF for it.

    For advanced users there are also hidden settings described in the included WinNTSetup.ini.txt

     

    Command line:

    - Press F1 to get list of all options

     

    To install Windows in a VHD file:

    - requires Windows 7 as OS and Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise or Server 2008 R2 as Source
    - create a partitioned VHD and assign a drive letter (push Ctrl + Shift + V to use build in diskpart wrapper for this)
    - select the VHD drive as installation drive (make sure you boot drive ist a active primary partition on a physical disk)

    If you get an Antivirus warning from your AV software, please report it to them as a false positive and let them check it.


    Current Version: 5.4.1

    How to boot from any image inside boot.wim

    in Windows PE

    Posted

    it does not work with Windows 7 (SP0/SP1) ((

    zbootmgr http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/419/screenshot20110125001.png

    original bootmgr also not supported

    Well that bootmgr BCD changer ONLY support original bootmgr files.

    CRC of bootmgr from Windows 7 SP0 is: EE471B58, if your's if different from this, it's not original or not a RTM version.

    SP1, hmm it's not released and therefore not supported.

    As joakim said just search the string in the modify wimpatched one and adjust it to your like.
