Sergei Strelec Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 JFX Hello! Starting with version 3.8.7 is not picked up an answer file, have to enter the path manually. Could you fix this problem, it is inconvenient. Thank you!
JFX Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 Hi Sergei, Version 3.8.7.3 should fix this.
Sergei Strelec Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 JFX Thank you! I now have no way to support the development of the program, but I'm sure it will do in the future. Sorry for my English.

alacran Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) @ JFX First once agay THANKS for this marvelous tool. I'll never get tired of saying it. Sorry to boder you, if you don't mind I have some questions: 1- Top Left corner menu from the little icon: If I run your tool in a lite WinPE I made, can't see this icon (but I can see BootIce icon on Right corner), maybe it is a lack of a dependancy (Everything else is working very fine). Is there another way to open it?, A funtion key perhaps? Or any info about depencies? 2 - If I make a WinPE from lets say en-US souce, then run from it WinNTSetup as language selection is automatic, it runs in english. Is there a way to force language selection?, maybe save and edit the *.ini before? 3 - Also do you think It is time to udate spanish translation? I made it long time ago. If so Would you like to uptade something first? Best Regards alacran Edited March 15, 2017 by alacran typo
JFX Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 Hi alacran, 1. if you mean the that titlebar icon is missing, than there is really something broken in your WinPE. But don't need to click on the icon, just right click anywhere on the titlebar or press alt+space. 2. Easiest way is to rename the wanted xxxx.dll to language.dll. Or set the enviroment variable "set WinNTSetup_lng=xxxx" I add an ini option to next version. 3. Yes an update would be nice, I don't plan to make any language related changes.

click-click Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I have bee having some minor issues with WinNTSetup lately. My .ini file that I have been using for ages is now missing all the tweak check-marks that I had selected a while back. I'm wondering why WinNTSetup is not setting these selections. I created a new ini with ctrl+s and noticed the following entries that have been added which I do not have in my old ini file: RegTweaks= [WinNT6\READY] OEM=\sources\$OEM$ Reboot=0 BCD=1 BootSect=2 Win7USBBoot=0 AddOtherOS=0 I seemed to have missed any mention as to what these entries do. After adding them, my check-marks were back. Another problem I am having, is that my bootmanager (Bootit Bare Metal from Terabyte Unlimited), is overwritten when I do a new install with WinNTSetup. I believe BBM sits in the MBR on HD0. WinNTSetp shows the MBR as yellow, which should be ok, but the MBR gets overwritten anyway even though I specify not to update the boot code. Once this happens, my bootmanager is gone. Can you think of a way to avoid this? I'm not sure if this has something to do with the BIOS on my new laptop. On my old Thinkpad T500 I never had to reinstall the bootmanager. Sometimes I had to reactivate it when I reinstalled XP, but that was about it.
JFX Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 @click-click The ini file has changed, all GUI options can now be saved in the INI. They all go now into separate section depending on the window the options are located. I've fixed to MBR update, however there is no way to stop Windows XP from doing an update itself.

click-click Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi JFX, XP install is not a problem, because I am still able to reactivate Bootit with the BBM USB Install ISO. On the other installs, the BBM USB install ISO cannot reactivate and requires you to do a new install because too much of the code in the MBR was overwritten. I would like to avoid restoring the MBR after using WinNTSetup and it would be nice if updating the MBR could be avoided when possible. I still don't understand why none of my reg tweak selections did not appear in the GUI. Was I just missing the RegTweaks= entry? Thanks..
alacran Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) @ JFX Attached is last spanish translation updated to WinNTSetup 3.8.7.4 alacran 2058.7z Edited March 28, 2017 by alacran Typo 1
JFX Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 @click-click Tweaks are now read and save from the new ini sections [WinNT5\TWEAKS] and [WinNT6\TWEAKS] Same with bootsector and BCD stuff [WinNT5\READY] Yes, it breaks old ini files, but makes it easier to edit then with an editor.
click-click Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Oh, Sorry, I missed seeing the [WinNT6\TWEAKS] section. Did you add a new option in this update to not update the mbr? Yellow doesn't necessarily mean booting a system will fail as indicated in the information balloon. Edited March 28, 2017 by click-click
click-click Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Just tried the new version. MBR0 is still being updated during setup and partially overwriting my 3rd party bootManager Edited March 30, 2017 by click-click
