Sure \Boot and \EFI folder should be decompressed, I'll add this.
But why you want this for drivers in Windows 10 too?

It is file bootmgr and file Boot\BCD that definitely need to be decompressed for booting VHD with grub4dos from RAMDISK in WimBoot mode.
Decompressing the whole folder \Boot and \EFI is not needed and would take more free space from VHD and increase the time to load VHD into RAM.

Booting with VHD in WimBoot mode from USB on various hardware can be improved when drivers are real files instead of WOF pointers.
It is used to make a Portable Windows 10 Operating System in VHD booting in WimBoot Mode and located on Portable SSD connected via USB.
But since Apply with wimgapi in WinNTSetup gives trouble in decompression of Windows 10 drivers, I think it is better NOT to add such option in WinNTSetup.

We can use Apply with wimlib using WIM file Captured with wimlib and modified Windows\System32\WimBootCompress.ini
if we want to have decompressed drivers in Windows 10 VHD booting in WimBoot mode.

For Unattend the option right-click to open that file in notepad does NOT work anymore in 4.0 Beta 6/7/8

[wimb]

Thanks for version 4.0 RC1 which solves the Edit option for unattend.xml  

Did some testing with Apply of latest Win10 install.wim from Microsoft followed by wimlib Capture and then Apply in WimBoot mode using wimgapi.

It seems the RC1 version corresponds to the 4.0 Beta 8 version and everything is working as expected
and OK as long as the internal Windows\System32\WimBootCompress.ini is not modified.

Hi, @JFX.

Updated Turkish language file for WinNTSetup v4.0 RC1 is ready. I'd appreciate it if you included it. Kind Regards.

I have BOOTICE v1.3.4 Portable. You can use it if necessary. I'm adding link here because it might be useful.

just discovered wimgapi (gimagex/winntsetup/dism) can support 54 non empty lines in [ExclusionList]

WimLib doesn't have this limitation.

is possible to add "None" compression to capture ? for large windows + data backup it's faster.

There is no such limit, but the ExclusionList section  should not be bigger than 32KB.

Already supported on command line, will be added to GUI next version.

possible to add windows license type detection(in local windows installation tab)? from bios key

it save time to check, which version should b apply. eg. coresinglelanguage / pro

[JFX]

No, license type detection would require to add a lot non redistributable MS files.
Just copy the key and use a PIDKey check tool.

[josywong]

yea tats what im doin now. thanks!

Any plans on adding .ffu images to WinNTSetup, or maybe for future version 5.

To capture, deploy, and mount FFU images with DISM, you'll need to work in a Windows 10, version 1709 or later, or WinPE for Windows 10, version 1709 or later environment.

Xpress-Huffman is used by default when an FFU is captured with DISM

I thought about it for version 4, but it would have required some GUI changes.
So it was to much work for a feature nobody cares about.

Maybe for version 5 (in a few years) ...
