Hmmmm, I think I might know what is the problem. Wait for the next release and I will confirm my thoughts and I will give a solution.

thank you,

and what is the problem?

[blue4603]

@Hopie

Are you starting 7Customizer through a shortcut?

If yes then start 7Customizer from 7customizer.exe file.

I think the problem is this:

There is something in programming called "current directory" or "current working directory" it refers to the directory that the application sees.

I will confirm that with the next release.

@blue

Have an idea if its possible.

That extra 100MB partition thats created when you create partitions, there is a patch out there. Would it be possible for you to include it in a release? to have an option wether to create that extra partition or not?

Regards.

If you want Windows setup to avoid creating the system partition, you need to partition your hard disk first. That means: do not install Windows to unallocated space. Also, since it is not likely that I will implement the partitioning feature in 7Customizer, I can not include this hack.

Re(blue4603):

Unfortunately, the article is not available online because it's a printed magazine. I tried looking for it on their website but it's not there.

The article is about free tools for tweaking Windows 7 and yours is under the "Deployment" section alongside another program called "WinIntegrator" (from this forum as well but I haven't looked into it).

Just wondering about the problem of getting rid of the 200MB partition.

Is it possible to use the <ModifyPartition> function from AIK to create a partition on the disk so that the 200MB partition isn't created?

Again, just wondering.

Thanks

OK. Thanks for sharing.

As I said before it is unlikely that I will implement disk partition feature in 7Customizer. To resolve this issue there is some settings you could add in autounattend.xml that will setup the partitons in the way you want.

Anyways, I prefer not to discuss this feature.

As i thougt

Well yea ur right, its a hack and it needs partitioning first which wont be integrated:P..

Then we'll skip it:)
