    No problem, I will add this key for you in the next release. But besides this, I would like to understand why a downloading error occurs. Do I understand correctly that downloading through a UpdatePack7R2 always fails, and loading through this batch file works as expected?
     
  2. I have downloaded the latest pack via magnet link but havent tested to download the lite executable file which itself will download the main package file .

    No, it only failed when i tested it last night, when 20.2.21 wanted to download it, the pack downloader worked with 20.3.12 with the tool when it was released earlier this week.

    It took me a few days but I finally got W7 installed on my Phison E12 (PNY Brand) NVMe on my X370+Ryzen 2600 system with USB3. The ISOs I used were:
    en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso and
    en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_1909_x64_dvd_be09950e.iso . My LTSC disc was not working for some reason, could have been my Win10 laptop host kept hibernating. I used rufus in EFI boot mode. Thanks I could not get anything else to work.
     
  8. Brother no any iso is created at last script says c:\users\%username%\desktop\SiMPLiX\ISO\boot\etfsboot.com not found & press any key to exit. i wanted to copy the whole script log & when i pressed cntrl+a script gone. thatswhy cant paste the log. everything went fine but in last etfsboot.com not found.
    installed win10 adk 1903 already with wsim patched.
    i used win7ultimate with sp1 x64 as source iso & executed W7_x64_Single_Index_Only_New_2 as admin rights.

    Suggestion:
    Alongside ability to integrate DaRT or not, it would be very useful to be able to choose Windows 10 boot files or original Windows 7's; this feature allows installation on very old PCs which may encounter issues if we use Windows 10 boot files on Windows 7 ISO.

    In my opinion, it's important because most up-to-date systems run Windows 10 fine and those who want to use Windows 7, mainly have old computer. Thus, having Windows 7 ISO which is modified by Windows 10 boot files will be unusable by 'some' of the users.

    If I remember correctly, in your old versions of your script, there was no need for Windows 10 ISO at all.

    Best Regards,

    I am working on that, but the whole purpose of SiMPLiX Updatepacks is the ability to run 7 on not officially supported hardware (more current stuff not ancient pc's).

    I never knew this actually, I am used to thinking simplix updatepack is just an integrator of collected (or selected) updates for Windows 7.

    Now with your information, it's very logical and appropriate to use Windows 10 ISO boot files. ;)

    It's totally fine, but consider my suggestion if it does not stress you out and you have enough free time.

    Thanks again.

    My personal opinion is, that people on these more current CPU\systems are better of on 10, windows 7 can't even service itself properly anymore and is not really capable of getting the power out of the modern stuff.

    But because there still are people who think they need 7 i made the tool, based on all manual steps i always did in the past, for private use but it evolved to a full functional tool now.

    I don't care about the, mostly technical, level of telemetry in 7, it is not of the level in 10, but i also don't care about that telemetry btw :D My personal use of the packs always was just to have an easy way for pre-integrating the bulk of updates.
