    Hello, you need to format all partitions, Windows and OEM partitions and reinstall Windows only.

    so what you are saying that i manually create all 3 partition first then i install macOSX at first partition
    and second partition i create one partition for OEM recovery and one for windows leave third partition for for linux
    if that so what will be the size of OEM recovery partition for second partition i allocated 500GB space
    and what configure i should use the document is saying to use some auto attended configuration so if i use this auto attend file then i am unable to create all the partition i mention above as it already start to format the whole disk and start doing all the partition that are mentioned in auto attended

    It's pretty hard to explain, because you can try to make a recovery partition in a disk that already has partitions, in order to configure the ReAgentc.exe to target the recovery partition.
    Because our project allows to do everything an automatic if the hard disk does not plan to have additional system.

    So otherwise I advise to try to add partitions in the response file to automate the formatting of partitions for MacOS and Linux. So I think the script to create the recovery will not disturb to use it in order to create the OEM partition.

    This is not a problem.

    I'm just trying to close software that I know can cause problem if they are running.

    A few things.

    Is the software functional with 1709 after the new ScanState are swapped in? ( : Thanks Chibi ANUBIS )

    ************************************
    Base files were copied successfully
    ************************************
    Please copy
    ReCreatePartitions.txt
    and
    ResetConfig.xml
    in C:\Recovery\OEM
    ====================================
    Examples files can be found under
    C:\Recovery\OEM\Settings
    ====================================
    To complete the installation,
    run Sysprep.cmd from
    C:\Recovery\OEM
    ************************************
    Press any key to continue . . .

    "in C:\Recovery\OEM" should be to C:\Recovery\OEM or maybe into C:\Recovery\OEM .
    "run Sysprep.cmd from C:\Recovery\OEM" could be in C:\Recovery\OEM (better, located in). That isn't critical.

    Will the software erase external drives, other internal drives, network shares and/or etcetera? Might it be suggested the unique drive/volume identifier be utilized? It might not be difficult to script in a multiple choice "Press the disk number" if multiple viable storage options are present (during pre-install) and then store that identifier to be the only media used. It could be added to the recovery to make sure alternate drives are not erased, should an extra (e. g. software mirror) drive be added later.

    The BIOS and UEFI defaults for Win10 have the manual ReCreatePartitions.txt and automated AutoUnattend.xml using varied sizes for the SYSTEM partition, RCP is 150 and AU is 100. Is that by design or an oversight? I understand it doesn't much matter.

    Any plans for the project moving forward? Anyone have resources or able to point to sites for customizing installations with the configuration OEM Recovery Partition Creator uses? Keep up the good work. Thanks much for this great code.

    NEVER have additional disks attached during Windows setup..

    Also it cannot delete anything from network shares as long as the network user doesnt have write permissions which it never should anyway.
    It cant just automatically delete anything from a network share anyway.

    4.0.7 - Release 2 is out.
    In fact, it is just a minimal fix on the "AppUpdate" script (undocummented feature) of Windows 10 which allows updating application for recovery.

    The "Do not distribute" file (first thread) was also updated to include latest ScanState for Windows 10 Fall 2017 update.

    Nothing else has changed for now.

    Perfect, thanks Anarethos:)

    Am I right when I think scanstate files can be used for Creators update?

    I have removed the update.

    I will retest and re-update.

    Saddly my computer crash during th eupgrade to the Fall Update. I was on Insideer Preview. And the restore bring back the Insideer Preview which crash again during the upgrade. I have to restart fresh. SO it will take a few days before I am able to reupdate with latest Scanstate.

    I have completed 4.0.8 but I'm unable to really test for now. Anyone interested by a beta-release and give me the result for Windows 10 ?
