WinNTSetup v5.4.1

[sakatgg]

Hi JFX,

Default MinWin config, boot VHD via grub4dos, enter bootmgr menu with F8 - black screen.
You can only blindly select menu items.

For the normal display of the menu, I did this in Fonts.txt

!\Windows\Boot\Fonts\segmono_boot.ttf
!\Windows\Boot\Fonts\segoen_slboot.ttf
!\Windows\Boot\Fonts\wgl4_boot.ttf
!\Windows\Boot\Fonts\segoe_slboot.ttf

sorry about posting something a little off topic, but I am dying for an answer to the following:

given the mac's ability to run windows for an os as well as the native mac, can one have rambooting, wimbooting, and what more and what not that we have normally done on the pc for years (ie, g4d menu, svbus loading, windows on vhd) from a mac machine?

Hello, is it possible to add to the ,, answer file, create a local account instead of a microsoft account.

[JFX]

@Antonino Sorry, I have no experience with MAC, but if let you start the windows boot manager, it should be possible.

@Nikolay Don't know what you mean, unattend option works nicely with local account.

I can't create a local account when installing Windows 11, I'm prompted to log in to my Windows account.

[JFX]

Win7-11-Select.xml should actually avoid this, no idea why it should fail to suppress any prompt.

This is a problem with the Russian RU Win11 localization, it won't allow a local account.
You must first apply Tweak - Enable Windows Local Account
Then deploy wim in WinNTSetup

If you know how to work with MSMG ToolKit, it has this tweak

I can't reproduce it with ru-ru_windows_11_consumer_editions_version_21h2_updated_nov_2022_x64_dvd_0b76dae7.iso nor with
ru-ru_windows_11_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_nov_2022_x64_dvd_d94d1eb8.iso

However, MSMG ToolKit adds the following to registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE]
"BypassNRO"=dword:00000001

If this work for you I'll add it to next beta.

Thanks, this helped me. Add if possible the next beta version.

[JFX]

Hmm, actually I already did this 5 month ago. 

; 5.2.5 - always disable Network requirement
ORSetDword(*SftHive, "Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE", "BypassNRO", 1)

 

[Nikolay]

Maybe disconnect the Internet cable before installation or not?

[JFX]

Sure, being disconnected from network should avoid the whole problem.

Hi there,

Where might I be able to 'harvest' 1037.dll from?    Wo kann ich 1037.dll „ernten“?

When installing Windows via WinNTSetup 5.2.6, when selecting an image with the right mouse button, nothing happens, nothing opens. I uploaded version 4.2.5 (x86-x64) + 5.1.2 (x64) to a flash drive, only version 4.2.5 worked. Nobody faced?
