October 9, 20223 yr Author The name does not matter, just add a .txt file to \Tools\MinWin\Default\Remove folder. There is nothing hard coded, profile should be entirely under control of the user.

October 18, 20223 yr 1+ question for jfx, or anyone else, for that matter, to answer: what is the advantage of having the wimfile inside the vhd if one applies the wimboot:wimcopy way relative to plain wimboot mode (with wimfile outside, elsewhere)? Edited October 18, 20223 yr by Antonino
October 18, 20223 yr Author Well, you will have a stand alone VHD WIMBoot Windows, that can be easily use in a Virtual Machine. Normal WIMBoot mode will have you to copy WIM file to a NTFS partition before. It was quite useful for me, example for P2V copies, however up coming beta version will have a better option for this scenario.
October 18, 20223 yr so outside virtual or p2v scenarios, is one better off using ordinary vhd or is wimboot:wimcopy vhd any way faster?
October 19, 20223 yr Author There is no noticeable difference in speed between the 2. WIMBoot is the most space saving option, that's all.

October 24, 20223 yr Attaboy!!! higher aims ahead!!! btw, have you modified any text files in the remove folder of this new edition? where do we get it from anyway? I do not see any link Edited October 24, 20223 yr by Antonino

I do not see any link Yes, there are some changes to the default minwin profile. Properly best if you compare old and new profile folder with something like WinDiff or WinMerge. Mega and Mediafire link at the end of the first post.
October 25, 20223 yr Greetings to all. I have been using this program for many years. Many thanks to the author. The speed of image creation has increased significantly. Moved my system to 3 different computers. Everything is great. Good luck and success in development.

Mega and Mediafire link at the end of the first post. well, I have just tried it and, ... what can I say, after some due personal adjustment, it works. the free-space gain is about a few hundred megs. I could not take full advantage of the shrinking, owing to my system's apparent need for systemapps, which forced me to place a ! in front of the string concerned. this may be due to the fact that it is a windows11, so I do not know if what I am saying applies to most other ppl's systems. those who know better, pls say anymore.

October 28, 20223 yr Hello! What is this option " added WinCopy option (copy Windows from one partition to another)" and how to use it?
October 28, 20223 yr Author WinCopy will create a copy of windows installation. For example, move the current installation into a VHD. The first 6 modes are using wimlib (with optional WOF compression). It's like capture and apply without actually creating a WIM file. File exclusion using a WimScript.ini are possible as well using MinWin by clicking on the Mode label. The VOLUME COPY option is more like Drive SnapShot, it copies the entire NTFS File System (used clusters only). It's much faster than the other modes, but does not offer any options. Destination drive can be smaller as the source drive, but the last used cluster must fit in it. Edited October 28, 20223 yr by JFX
