it is not difficult for you who are probably expert, and I know I asked a favor by going off topic, if it's easy for you, can't you give me a quick hand?
No thank you, you are going to create more problems. There is no new ACPI or other drivers. Currently its useless to deploy older systems this way. Without any touch is possible to deploy 2000 from WIM / ESD with current XP2ESD, but you got nothing special. No real sysprep for 2000 (it doesn’t exist for XP), no update packs for all languages etc..
Unless the program you suggested enables the UDF file system driver automatically, the UDF file system needs to be recognized, so the UDF file system driver should be enabled. The generic cdrom driver should also be enabled so the iso can be mounted as an optical drive. On hardware with an optical drive present, the cdrom driver is enabled automatically. I just wanted you to know in case the ISO is mounted in a computer without an optical drive present, so mounting can work.
Upcoming release bring fully configurable and unattended OOBE. Some options are new and some original ones are changed to fit out needs. This is fully unattended example for XP / 2003. OOBEINFO.INI Code: [StartupOptions] Offline=1 Registration=1 ScreenResolutionCheck=0 [Options] ; Show Regional settings page INTL_Settings=1 ; Default selected options DefaultKeyboard=0409 DefaultLanguage=409 DefaultRegion=244 ; Show TimeZone settings page TimeZone=1 ; Default selected TimeZone TimeZoneValue=090 ; Show Administrator password settings page AdminPW=1 ; Default predefined Administrator password AdminPassword= ; Show Join Domain page JoinDomain=1 ; Show Mouse Tutorial pages MouseTutorial=1 IntroOnly=1 ; Show Product key page, if defined correct key in [Version] it's always hidden SkipProductKey=1 ; Default computer name instead of PC-XX ComputerName="XP2ESD Tester" ; Fully Unattended OOBE UnattendedOOBE=1 ; Default user to logon, can be used only with defined UserInfo settings DefaultUser = "Pat" [UserInfo] ; Identity000, Identity001, Identity002, Identity003, Identity004, Identity005 Identity000 = "Pat" Identity001 = "Zainal" Identity002 = "Josh" Identity003 = "Adam" Identity004 = "Paula" Identity005 = "Shay"
@UsefulAGKHelper My time is limited and I still need to do many manual things before upcoming release. It must be done before christmas. I'm currently won't investigate any new idea. Changelog have now 68 lines that I noted down, there are probably more changes and improvements done. Before new release is still needed to create 3 RES patches for 38 (36, 2 are already done) languages, setup engine patching will support all provided languages for latest Windows 10 release - 19041. OOBE reconstruction is needed to finish in 24 (22, 2 are already done) languages. Then all of us can enjoy christmas with new XP2ESD. Best to create installer based on 7 + 10 19041 or only 10 19041 based. Because this exact combination is ready to deploy all Windows from XP to 11 without any issues from same ISO/USB with same features
At least I hope the bcdedit quietboot/noguiboot/disablebootdisplay setting on setup.cmd is already uncommented out (it was commented out by default in the XP2ESD build I got from you) before 1.6.3 release so XP kernel can be used and booted from BCD winload on UEFI. If this is already uncommented out by default on release, then I will be relieved.
