[WinNTSetup v5.3.4]

Thats very fast, thank you!

[WinNTSetup v5.3.4]

Many, many thanks JFX for your Tool :-)

Thx for fixing cmdlines bug....

1) even if not supported , setup from WDS i386 Folder works well ;-) , we need to copy setupldr.bin into the source folder :-) a pity that there is no Intention to modify selected .sif file and replace variables in it with real values..however it can be managed by Notepad or some automated postprocessing;-)

1) & 2) i had to use diskpart to prepare the disk, (i guess the reason of failed setup was the default partition alignment applied by bootice)

[WinNTSetup v5.3.4]

Happy new year,

@JFX

i would like to use your tool:-) and have some questions, hints, wishes and a bug report.

maybe some of them can be fixed or become supported features;-)

1)

my first try was to use winntsetup within winpe 3.0, nothing special

i have some preconfigured OS'es powerd by RIS/WDS server and i decided to

install from selected source a new winxp/sp3/vl-OS. B)

2)

my second try was to let winntsetup install an untouched winxp/sp3/vl-OS

however i guess case 1) is unsupported, but my attempt 2) also failed.

after reboot, the error message "Error loading operating system" is displayed.

the disk seems to be OK (MBR/PTB/NTFS-Partion craeted by bootice, NT5.x bootcode),

because im able to install into same partition when processing another methods.

(in winntsetup i see MBR/NTLDR PBR/BOOT FLAG all OK)

i will try a real machine;-) maybe vmplayer 5.0.3 doesnt work....

case 1)

When using WDS, there is a special folder 'templates' within the i386 folder.

it contains a set of .sif files.

**wish**

the .sif files looks like:

[data]

floppyless = "1"

msdosinitiated = "1"

UnattendedInstall = "Yes"

OriSrc = \\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%

OriTyp = "4"

LocalSourceOnCD = 1

[setupData]

OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect"

SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"

..

of cource OriSrc/SetupSourceDevice are unusable.

there are some variables (fixed and user-defined) like %ORGNAME%,%MACHINENAME%,%MACHINEDOMAIN%,%IP%

is it possible to create a set of variables (%ORGNAME%...),

let the user define them and replace values in the selected .sif file?

it is possible to fix or delete OriSrc, SetupSourceDevice?

**hint**

winntsetup creates always a $oem$ folder (tweaks), even if no tweak is selected.

**bug report**

in case of an existing cmdlines.txt, for example

[Commands]

"%systemdrive%\$Setup$\setupcomplete.cmd"

winntsetup inserts an extra line , but destroys the original one (ystemdrive%\$Setup$\setupcomplete.cmd").

-------

is there a way to hide the gui part "Windows 2000/XP/2003" or "Windows Vista/7/8/2008/2012" respectively?

Thanks JFK
