JFX Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 RemoveBootMountsOnExit does remove the mounted boot partitions (active primary or ESP) usually mounted as Z:. There was a bug with this option, you will need the re-download RC2.
wimb Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) May be Size of Hidden FAT32 drive can be reduced to 100 MB for MBR - BIOS/UEFI and GPT - UEFI types of VHD. Now it is 500 MB which is relatively large and a waste when loading e.g. a 3 GB VHD to RAMDISK for booting with UEFI Grub2 or UEFI Grub4dos. Edited January 27, 2021 by wimb
JFX Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 RC3 is out, if there no bugs anymore, this one will be final soon.

wimb Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Thanks for New WinNTSetup 4.5.0 version Thanks for adding Hidden feature in VHD Partition style to adjust size of FAT32 Part (sorry, but at first sight I did not see it in RC3 ....) The VHD FAT32 Part Size can be initialized in WinNTSetup.ini file [vhd] section using value bootpartsize=100 An improvement of WinNTSetup program could be that Settings as used in VHD dialogue will be saved in WinNTSetup.ini file when using Save ini from menu. It would be interesting in that case to Save in [vhd] section the selected VHD Partition style (MBR BIOS/UEFI vs MBR - BIOS vs GPT - UEFI) and Save VHD hard disk format (Fixed vs Dynamically expanding) and bootpartsize (Size of VHD FAT32 Part) Edited February 17, 2021 by wimb 1
Sonic Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Thanks for improvements !

Sonic Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 thanks , it seems first line of diskpart / detail disk . for my case, my two NVMe disk has name : HD2: NVMe Samsung SSD 970 HD3: NVMe Samsung SSD 970 but the first is a 970 Pro and the second is a 970 Evo :-( can be Disk ID supported for BootExclude ?
JFX Posted February 20, 2021 Author Posted February 20, 2021 Right, for 2 equal disk vendor name is useless here, next version will support disk id. 1

Sonic Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) is it possible to RemoveBootMountsOnExit to remove letter of the efi boot letter selected in winntsetup after successful applied image ? this prevent windows to display the letter of the efi partition in explorer even with disk is unplugged. this bug doesn't exist with MBR boot part. edit: my problem is my diskpart script mount the EFI part letter before WinNTSetup, but after thinking myself, i can skip this step in my diskpart script !

Renodos Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Hi, JFX, is it possible to install Windows from Windows to Go USB drive into internal drive? If yes, then how? If not, I would be glad to have it in the next version... Thanks.
JFX Posted March 22, 2021 Author Posted March 22, 2021 Hi Renodos, not really, WinNTSetup needs an WIM or ESD image to work with. However, you could capture this WTG to a WIM file and use this - let's call it backup.wim - as source. Only downside with this is that no Recovery menu option (WinRE) will be created.
JFX Posted April 7, 2021 Author Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) WinNTSetup 4.6.0 - fixed vhd detection regression - fixed dism dowload was missing logprovider.dll - fixed possible freeze caused by PathCompactPath - fixed possible freeze with "-noapply" mode - fixed some High DPI issues - fixed commandline iso attach did not return errorlevel for driveletter - dismount of vhd with hidden bootpart will force remove all it's drive letters - driver integration now uses dismapi, trys to avoid adding drivers of different architecture - driver export now sorts by driver class - move Tools\WimBootCompress.ini to Tools\Compact\ - logging content of internal VHD BCD store - added Win7USB3 driver integration / post install fix option (see Tools\Win7USB3\ReadMe.txt) - added wofcompress option - added remove autocheck option *Last 3 are right click features: https://ibb.co/NmXNbY0 Edited April 7, 2021 by JFX 2
