WinNTSetup v5.3.4

If you set “Mount Installation drive as” to '*' than the system drive letter will not change.

A stock Windows 7 will result in D:, and Windows 8 and newer usually in C:

 

The preassignment option will save the drive letters of all fixed volumes.

So for WinToGo this option is no use.

Thanks JFX,

Anyone any ideas on how to change the WTG drive letter -- only visible when booted (active) and within a VHD within a imgPTN??

Want to try to change from W to *.

Very Strange:  Have a secondary data HDD with nothing but GPT data partitions, and WTG -- as W -- wants to take all those GPT partitions and letter them first (D, E, F. etc..), which changes most other letters (and shortcuts / cross references).

Well, I tried to do this with Regedit, but mucked something up -- eternal preparing windows dots...

So, for my start-over,

Should it be ok to set “Mount Installation drive as” to '*' for a Windows To Go drive?

Or would this also give the eternal dots circle?

Thanks

Why you first wanted W: and now not?

You can used this option as you want, it has no relation to WTG.

 

EDIT: shuffling partition letters using WTG is normal,

your WTG windows doesn't know how the offline windows has define drive letters for partitions.

The reason for setting it at W: was to prevent partition  letter shuffling.

But at W: did NOT prevent partition  letter shuffling.

So thought I would try * for WTG and see if that would allow WTG to NOT shuffle partition letters.

edit: Would WTG still boot as C: even if I set “Mount Installation drive as” to '*' ??

On this page for Windows To Go: Feature Overview
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831833.aspx
Under differences it states:
“Internal disks are offline. To ensure data isn’t accidentally disclosed, internal hard disks on the host computer are offline by default when booted into a Windows To Go workspace. Similarly if a Windows To Go drive is inserted into a running system, the Windows To Go drive will not be listed in Windows Explorer.”
Which made me think maybe it should be set as “ * “ for “Mount Installation drive as” for WTG to work as stated.

Thanks

It works here on WinXP, maybe you added a newer wimgapi.dll to the tools folder?

 

Website is currently a bit slow but works.

Thanks JFX, I was aware of the changelog in the zip (nice touch), just thought you might want to know about the website being a bit "shaky"...

 

EDIT: Just installed the new W10 build 9926 (much more languages this time!), using WinNTSetup and my 8.1 unattend.xml. Still working nicely, fully unattended of course. Thanks again, JFX!

Hi JFX,

 

I have some problems installing winntsetup-v3.7.5 on a fresh Windows Server 2012R2 system. Every time I am choosing some options in the window followed after checking the button "tweaks" the setup procedure breaks down and I get an error message: "Universal Windows Installer funktioniert nicht mehr etc", Problemsignatur:
  Problemereignisname:    APPCRASH
  Anwendungsname:    WinNTSetup_x64.exe
  Anwendungsversion:    3.7.5.0
  Anwendungszeitstempel:    54a919f7
  Fehlermodulname:    WinNTSetup_x64.exe

  Zusatzinformation 3:    159f
  Zusatzinformation 4:    159f02d3e552cb5e12cd94d8abb97ade

I have tried all the previous versions of winntsetup but I still get the same message. If I don't check the button "tweaks" everything is alright and I am able to produce my VHD. Could you please give me any advice how to solve the problem?

 

Kind regards

 

Holger
