JFX Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) WinNTSetup 5.3.1 - updated wimlib to version 1.14.1 (faster wim capture) - fixed GUI capture may ignores WimScript.ini - fixed wimlib LZMS capture did not used solid compression - fixed auto format option should disable free space warning - fixed wincopy/wimcapture could not be canceled during VSS creation - fixed Win7-11-Select.xml required all fields to be set - added some support for MinWin with ARM64 sources - added commandline switch: -NoTweaks - much faster wincopy (wimlib mode) - changed wimboot/compact mode don't use exclusion for GPT formated disk Edited April 28, 2023 by JFX 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a wimlib capture on a generalized sysprep partition both with wimlib 1.3.4 and 1.4.1. Your change.log indicates a faster capture with 1.4.1. My times don't agree with that. 1.3.4=15 min. and 1.4.1=18 min. In what way is 1.4.1 supposed to be faster? I used the following command each time: u:\$W0\Wimlib\WimCapture.cmd q: u:W81ProWMC_04Rebase.wim "Windows 8.1.1 Pro with Media Center" --config=u:wimscript.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a wimcapture operation all files are being hashed, thus hashing speed makes difference. Even more if you are appending a WIM, were only new files are being compressed. However, you need a recent CPU to notice any difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakatgg Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) In Win7-11-Select.xml added launch FirstLogon.cmd but the commands don't work. Does WinNTSetup v531a support FirstLogon.cmd? SetupComplete.cmd works immediately, by default, did not edit anything, Win11 22H2 22624.1680 <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\FirstLogon.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> P.S. The start of firstlogon.cmd is obtained if you register in SetupComplete.cmd reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v firstlogon /t REG_SZ /d %windir%\Setup\Scripts\firstlogon.cmd /f Still, it is interesting through Win7-11-Select.xml, is it possible to start and work firstlogon.cmd?

Antonino Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) sorry to butt in, but i am worndering what the above scripts r for. i would use them if they were worth my while doing so. Edited May 18, 2023 by Antonino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Using a unattend.xml, you can launch programs, just before desktop icons and taskbar appears. WinNTSetup's tweaks are limited, but FirstLogonCommands do run with admin rights, so you can do any customization in these scripts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakatgg Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Integration of drivers for USB controllers, scanners, printers on WinNTSetup_v531a is going well. But when the MinWin mode is enabled, the drivers are not integrated. Is it possible to do driver integration in MinWin mode? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonino Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 sorry if I butt in, but ...., if it all can't be done in one move, can u not first integrate and then miniwin? me, I first integrate, then customize the whole install to suit my needs and liking, and then, when I am over with I miniwin. I think it is safer this way, insomuch as we have good control and command of what we r doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
