WinNTSetup v5.4.1

[Nikolay]

When deploying an image of its system, the program gives an error 0x57. What to do?

 

[JFX]

During this error display there should be a log file: %Temp%\WinNTSetup\Logs\wimgapi_error.log

Maybe better to switch to wimlib with (Ctrl + Shift + W) and see if it can apply the WIM.

[Nikolay]

Thank you very much, I switched to "wimlib" and it worked.

[JFX]

How was this WIM file created?

[Nikolay]

The system image was created using "wimlib"

[Nikolay]

Can I create a system image, by default via "WIMGAPI" or how can I do it myself?

[JFX]

No, i should be OK, wimlib is recommended library for creating a WIM file.

Just wonder why wimgapi has a trouble with that WIM. Never had any compatibly problems.
Expect the LZMS WIM/ESD created by earlier version of WinNTSetup, but they would cause a crash or freeze of the program.

I create an empty VHD, turn off indexing in the disk properties, then deploy wim to VHD and indexing turns on by itself.
Where in the WinNTSetup settings to disable disk indexing? Thank you.

[JFX]

There is no option. Disk index is a file property, thus it is saved inside the WIM file.
Maybe, I can alter the attributes during apply.

But has this disk indexing setting still any effect since Vista?

[sakatgg]

Indexing in all SSD setup instructions is advised to be disabled in the disk properties tab

Although it is possible to disable the indexing service enough, this checkbox in the disk properties will still remain. Better not to have it.

Found a solution. Next version will respect this setting.

JFX, with your approvement can finaly represent our (avalat, dimo70) new project NTHelper - beta version 1a. In fact this is just add-on Helper for WinNTSetup.exe. More info only on nelegal-edition.ru

Thanks, it looks good 

One thing, if I use "UEFI original Script" it ends up selecting the MSR partition as boot drive.
