How to install windows from usb - winsetupfromusb with gui

Even if he is interested, I'd prefer to include the information in a ReadMe file and point to the right direction above , rather than implementing this functionality in the program itself, overloading the main interface with checkboxes or messages. Simple displaying winnt. Once he knows how many things could be done to his source, the problematic 8 entries will not be the only ones wanted. Believe me, this is what happens most of the time. If the point to display winnt.

Contrary- we have there important entries, curious people according to practice and Murphy's law tend to mess exactly where they are not supposed to. Keeping out of focus winnt. As time goes by, a tab "advanced settings" could be added. For now I don't have the willingness and the spare time to do that, my mind simply refuses to think about concentrating on this subject. Within a few years all this will be buried. In addition- the program is run from normal Windows environment, and your toolbox Internet, Notepad, Help files, NLite If it was in PE environment, where tools are limited, then yes, it could be good option.

Another point, which is rather personal- I am an old schooler, prefer simplicity, small sizes and information thrown at user limited to the bare minimum. Hence my opinion what is a key factor a program to be successful and easily accepted. On first run of the program one may not choose to add Windows source.

Thus the entries number for example will be occupied by Bart PE, Vista setup etc. What came in my head so far is to separate the entries by seeking for 'title', so everything between two 'title' is an entry.

Then look in this entry if string 'ntldr' is present, ignoring the commented lines, and count what number it is. Then set this number as a fallback. The problem is when a new Windows source is added to the USB disk.

This will add another pair of entries. The first entry will deffer as setupldr. Creation of second entry GUI mode could be omitted, using one for all Windows sources, not adding for which version of Windows it is as that's only for guidance. But in this case menu. Now if first variant is better- with only one entry for the GUI mode, then will have to seek in menu.

If the second variant, with pairs, is better, then it's tricky, which entry should be set as fallback entry? Another variant as I am thinking more on this- no need to use 'savedefault fallback', but rather 'savedefault X' and still use pairs.

Started using the same approach as BTS team is using fake Setup. Well, it won't if you create a few big dummy files, making the disk space less than the one stated in txtsetup. Now you can safely put back unattended section in winnt.

I was thinking to use this approach, it eliminates all the mess with unattended section, but if one is with a USB hard disk or 16GB stick it's not practical to occupy all the free space. It is working right now. Actually the problem was NTFS file system. It may be easier just to include a few lines in ReadMe. Can you explain better the problem?
