    Can you give me which line shoud support splitting? I suppose it is the message box when you must confirm if you want to continue or not?

    Either copy the Settings.ini file here while putting the required line in RED or just the line themselves.

    I will see what I can do.

    thanks.

    EDIT: Forget it. I have added support for all language strings. Will be ready for version 1.3.10.

    Yes it worked, the Recovery Tools is superb ( Metro Ui ) BUT we not have "Burn Recovery Media to CD or DVD" option ! Its Only for USB Disk
    For Windows 7 Prefere your Old recovery tools With Multi Language.

    And big Thanks for Your Help and your hard Work your are the best ! :D

    Hi, 1st of all tnx for this! I really need this function.

    I've one simple question, I don't know how to use it, I mean, I extracted the files, and I put imagex for boht versione in the right folder, than I put the sample configuration file and I run the update setting cmd. Later I put the AutoUnattend.xml and the installer folder on the root of my iso or usb.

    Ok, now I install windows 7 and I attempt the AUDIT mode, ok now I copy the installer folder on my desktop and ... ?

    What I need to do now? install.cmd update.cmd or any other file?

    Ps Can I use this script on a virtualbox to test everything?

    Tnx, Jo

    You must execute Install.cmd ( He will copy all file that he need to the recovery Partition ) and after that the PC will restart and Capture Windows 7 Partition.

    Anyone good at photoshop or similar? It would be coll to have a logo for the software (400x200) or similar dimmensions.

    Maybe a Hard-drive with a clock going back?

    Something free that I can ship with the package.

    I always test in VmWare, so not problems.

    Just the boot from Usb may not work for system recovery. Under VmWare, I must use UEFI to boot from USB and the hard-drive can't be found. But works on real computer.

    Have fun!

    For certificates and stuff, shoudl works. You may have to edit the Sysprep.xml file to disable the Rearm option. You will have to test.

    For the partition, Microsoft requires the following partition layout for the recovery option to works :
    - Boot partition
    - Recovery partition
    - Windows partition
    - MSR partition on UEFI

    First of all, just want to say, this is a rocking bit of software! For some reason work don't want to use it despite time/money saving reinstalling the same PC's over again, but that's their loss (i still get paid! :biggrin: )

    I do have just one question, I would like to know if its possible to use the MSDARTS boot.wim to build up the recovery with? That way, I have an amazing way to either fix my PC's or restore them to my own factory defaults. If it isn't possible then that's cool, just a thought!

    Again, thank you for an awesome bit of software! Also good documentation & great support/dev! :D

    My tools tries to use the WINRE.WIM file in "C:\Windows\System32\Recovery" as the base image. Just overwrite the base image by yours and it sould works.

    Also, be SURE to have the recovery tools from Windows inside your file, as they are required for the recovery process.

    It's all under a vbox.
    No antivirus, fresh install of a custom image (with all updates only)
    Now I'll try with an original iso
