WinNTSetup v5.4.2

[Antonino]

if you think it is too much, u cannot imagine what is lying ahead. Just appreciate the automation, as opposed to having it all done manually as per application one by one

this is only the initial customization - per aspera, ad astra

the main praise engineering-wise goes to Virgus, the other praise being for painstaking perseverance, which is multi-annually proven to have been on my part.

Ok, how do I install an OS with just the basics, as in all hardware working, with networking, but nuke defender, system restore, search, all all the other stuff not required for boot. 

 

Something like this.

well, much more than preinstallation enviromemnt, pls allow for that. 

this is the minimal install of windows which is stripped of all things u do not need. but still an autonomously persistent system.

the characteristic philosophy behind it is the following: there are 3 types (orders) of system files:

1) those that allow for the system to reach the desktop interface;

2) system files that the system wants to be on C:\ (program files (some subfolders have to reside on c:\) and files from programdata\microsoft, system32, syswow64;

3) whatever system files that can physically reside on another disk and be junctioned back to C:\ (which means logically still on C: for the system to work). one instance of these 3rd-type files can be the pletoric nvidia drivers collected in driverstore, which can be junctioned back to c:\ from another drive where they physically reside. 

to achieve all this 3 scripts by Virgus will run:

1) a brute force delete script which will take out all superfluous files and folders from whatever according to a list which I can provide u with if u wish to have it;

2) a brute force zero byting script which will "raise to the ground" all files and folders that we want nobody to write on and the system does not need, according to another list which I can provide u with if u wish to have it;

3) a brute force junction stand alone script which will send all files that can reside on any drive other than c: with no hindrance to the system according to yet another list which I can provide u with if u wish to have it.

I can anticipate that an important role is played by a z:\ drive which is a ramdisk collecting all temporary and unneeded files; another important role is the one played by C:\, which is a vhd (the d drive is actually the first physical drive, but the second logical drive. this makes for a clean system (u may have a score windows os's, each on a vhd, but the material on d:\ serves them all). VHD's are a couple gigs in used space, and another couple of gigs is a slack space pletoric nvidia driver folder needs in order to allow for smooth updates.

Perfect, happy to try them all.
