JFX Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hmm, no I use diskpart.exe and that decides between the 2 by extension.But I wonder that there is a problem with attaching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSerious Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) For easy testing of the VHDXs that diskmgmt creates, can drag a shortcut of W:\Windows\System32\diskmgmt.msc to desktop.See the diskmgmt "Action" menu.Hope that helps. diskmgmt might attach the VHDX when it is created and that error might be from trying to attach a VHDX that is already attached.Don't see a way to detach the VHDX via diskmgmt.Sorry if that confused things.

JFX Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 You right, it gives this "wrong paramter" error if the vdisk is already attached or detached. I uploaded new version, that should fix the gui not want to create a vhdx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari800XL Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) JFX, hope you don't mind me asking a somewhat off-topic question: Do you know if there's a way to tell which DISM versions are compatible? For example: sometimes when I test a new Windows 10 preview build, I want to add NetFX3 and some drivers to the install.wim before first install (also: convert to Enterprise using SetEdition). But sometimes (other/new build) I get an error saying I need a newer DISM version. Other times it does work (like now: 10036 can service the 10041 install.wim just fine). I don't want to take up a lot of your time, but I guessed you might know this. So once again: How can I know if I can service a *new* install.wim with an "old" DISM. Or is it just trial and error? Thanks! (On the MDL forum, some friendly people explained how to extract the new DISM files from a new ISO, or even from an ESD, using wimlib and image 1 of the wim [instead of 4 for the install files]. Haven't tested that, though...) Edited March 21, 2015 by Atari800XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well, it's a technical preview, they can brake or change functionality with every build as they like.So no, there is no way to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFX Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) There was indeed a problem with user creating using, but only using x86 exe. Switching off system restore works, on vista and later quota is set to 0.It's not so easy to fully disable it on nt6, I wanted to address this with a service like I did with password reset. But that resulted in to many false positive AV reports. Edited March 23, 2015 by JFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkertezcan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) @JFX: Firstly, thank you very much for WinNTsetup and your other useful tools.Secondly, I'm sorry my bad English. I have a issue (and later request, if it's possible). At first, I will writing the issue: I can install Windows 7~10TP Build 9876 to my 2nd HDD with WinNTsetup. But since Win10TP's build 9926 and 10041, it's become strange. In that, after cyan logo/boot phase is disappeared, the PC alway restart. No start sysprep phase, no setup/OOBE settings/desktop. I tried almost every ways for solution: using wimlib instead of wimGapi, BCD parameters, tweaks service/drivers in Reg hives, what not. No change. Also I tried another way without WinNTsetup. Extracting Install.wim with WimLib.wimlib-imagex.exe extract install.wim 1 --dest-dir=e:\bootsect.exe /nt60 e: /mbr /forcebcdboot e:\windows /s e:No change. No BSOD, no any dump or log file. Again, after logo, PC is restarting cycle.Finally, I tried Windows' own Setup phases (directly running original Setup on ISO). The Windows Setup (Boot.WIM Image:2) can install normal way. After install progress is finished, PC restart. Okay. After logo is loading, the white OOBE/sysprep phase is coming. No reset loop. I very suprised that. What is make settings Windows Setup, besides of bootsect, BCDboot? I just can't detect. Edited March 26, 2015 by ilkertezcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's hard to find out what original Windows setup actually does.Maybe it's a BSOD, have you disabled automatic reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
click-click Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I just upgraded to 3.7.2 -> 3.7.7 and noticed a new drop-down that appears next to the use bootsect ... drop-down after starting Setup. Some of the options are ALL, BIOS, UEFI, etc. I must have missed the discussion about this. Can someone explain what those options are for and what changes they make?
