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.

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.

Thanks for New WinNTSetup 4.5.0 version  :thumbup

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)

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 ? :worship:

Right, for 2 equal disk vendor name is useless here, next version will support disk id.

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 !

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.

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.
