JFX Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) hi,I have problem to reproduce this error, so far with the new GENA release i tested a lot combination and all work well The link you gave, describe overwriting bootstr.dll.mui with one of the Win7 beta files. I can figure that it will be a solution nor that it would be good since you use Vista.the good thing so far: the error message(s) are not critical and should not cause a problem for booting the new Windows installation.Have not much time currently, but will continue trying to find a solution.Maybe you can try to describe how you create/boot your GENA. Made special GENA support topic --> WinNTSetup2 script Edited August 11, 2011 by JFX
Drake Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Hi JFX,Thank you for your great work.Is there a way of installing Windows with your tool without extracting the iso? Could it be possible for your program to access directly isos?
JFX Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Hi Drake,a direct use of an ISO would not be possible, but you could mount it with imdisk. That's the way I do it.create a sub folder ISO and put imdiskinst.exe and your ISO inside.create a batch file next to winntsetup similar like this:@echo offset ISO="ISO\de_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677306.iso"ISO\imdiskinst -yimdisk -afor /f "TOKENS=3,4 SKIP=1 DELIMS=: " %%i in ('imdisk -a -m #: -f %ISO%') do ( set Imdisk_device=%%i set Imdisk_letter=%%j)echo Imdisk Device Number: %Imdisk_device%echo Imdisk Device Drive : %Imdisk_letter%:WinNTSetup2_x64.exe -NT6 -Source:%Imdisk_letter%:\sources\install.wimrem optional unmount and imdisk uninstallrem imdisk -D -u %Imdisk_device%rem rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultUninstall 132 %windir%\INF\imdisk.inf@Killerdogsorry for keeping your waiting so long, next version will completely solve that issue with XP Based PE.

dlinh9 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 at first, i'm sorry for my bad English. I'm trying to improve it.i got a problem with your tool when i used it to setup my own windows xp ( i built it by RVMi with 3 addons: XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack for Windows XP Post-SP3, OnePiece Windows Media Player 11 True AddOn v2.5.0 ENU and OnePiece IE8 WinXPSP3 v2.8.0 AddOn ENU, and i created a winnt.sif (attached file)[RegionalSettings]LanguageGroup=1,7,8,9,14SystemLocale="0409"UserLocale="042a"UserLocale_DefaultUser="042a"InputLocale="0409:00000409"InputLocale_DefaultUser="0409:00000409"Language Group I choosed is: US, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean.And all problem i had is:1. At blue screen stage ( i don't know what its name ), when copying, it misses some file: ie4uinit.mui.... about 4 or 5 files. I have esc to skip2. At next stage ( i think it is gui stage ), it misses all of font file i need for the Languege Group and some file i don't know.But when I run setup.exe (winnt32.exe) directly from Setup folder, the installation work normally.can anyone help me?WINNT.SIF
JFX Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Hi dlinh9, Welcome here 1. problem is caused by the IE8 AddOn, nlite Addon Packs are not supported.It would require a complete parsing of dosnet.inf, txtsetup.sif layout.inf, ... , like the original winnt32.exe does.2. Problem occurs because Winntsetup does not copy the \I386\LANG folder from the Windows sourceI will adjust next version to copy LANG folder, if LanguageGroup has multiple selections Edited March 9, 2013 by JFX
Lancelot_Real Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I will adjust next version to copy LANG folder, if LanguageGroup has multiple selectionsHi JFX,I hope you also syncronise changes with WinNTSetup v1
JFX Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Sure because maintaining one version is not enough work
Lancelot_Real Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 You know I know......,and you know (can easly guess) why I asked ...Besides not critical, I will follow what you decide
dlinh9 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I've just found a manual solution instead . I found that in ref.chmH:\i386\winnt32 /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: /makelocalsource /copysource:lang /unattendBut windows doesn't reboot automatically.What can I do if I want computer reboot after source copying finish as your tool does.Did I miss some code? Edited September 16, 2011 by dlinh9
JFX Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I think you need to tell it where the setup answer file (winnt.sif) is located.H:\i386\winnt32 /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: /makelocalsource /copysource:lang /unattend:"D:\winnt.sif"will release next version in a few days, that will copy lang folder if necessary.

JFX Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) hmm, i wouldn't call "A" a problem, it's just that I prefer keeping the folder. Deleting it manually should not be that much of a problemI guess B and C are the same problem:Have not used Norton Ghost for ages, maybe it does not cause the problem.anyway if you want to make an image of "Pre" - setup phase, that should run on different hardware make sure you have necessary SATA drivers in setup.Also do NOT use, the 2 options: "Mount installation drive as ..." and "use migrate.inf for drive lettter pre assignment". Both saving disk/partition infos that will cause trouble if use on different hardware. Edited March 9, 2013 by JFX
