well you should head back to the first page and do it yourself like it's meant to be done. no one will give u a program that will do it for u with a few clicks. read it and do it yourself, everything you need is right here. don't be lazy. it will still may not work at all on modern hardware. Also i was skeptical about sdi driver packs and about the dev of sdi but looks like its a not bad solution. it's strange to see that most of the free solutions are from shady russian devs xD. Well at least there is no bloatware like on drp.su
I want v1.5.6 because I want to make an ISO without POWIS launcher. This is so that the ISO would look like the original (without a third-party launcher).
Hi, I got a bit of a problem, when I install this on my PC (XP SP3 x86 with both update packs) the setup creates a recovery partition on the wrong drive (not drive 0) and because of that it fails to boot after it copies over the system files and I get stuck on a BOOTMGR is missing error, if I go in and delete that recovery partition manually (which is randomly created on drive 5) and reboot after that it works, but I shouldnt be having to do that correct?
@Enthousiast - You are still unknowingly violate the forum rules, please remove the quoted link completely from your post.
@George King Since the year 2023 began, I wonder if XP2ESD 1.6.3 will be released as a milestone soon.
Nope, directly after the "MDL" string in the first quote, there is still a link. It's on the dot or a space, but it's there.
Hi @George King. I just discovered this project but started running into some issues when running the VM in VirtualBox (i.e. Blue Screen of Death). I worked around this by creating/running the virtual machine using Hyper-V. This could be convenient as a default for Windows 10 Pro or later users because it reduces the number of dependencies and, in my experience, runs the Windows XP VMs much faster than VirtualBox. These are the commands I used to instead of VirtualBox: Code: REM Remove virtual drive if exists pwsh.exe -Command "if (Test-Path %VirtualMachinePath%\%MachineName%_DISK.%HDDType%) { Remove-Item %VirtualMachinePath%\%MachineName%_DISK.%HDDType% }" REM Create virtual machine and drive pwsh.exe -Command "New-VHD -Path %VirtualMachinePath%\%MachineName%_DISK.%HDDType% -SizeBytes 10gb -Dynamic" pwsh.exe -Command "New-VM -Name %MachineName% -VHDPath %VirtualMachinePath%\%MachineName%_DISK.%HDDType% -MemoryStartupBytes 1GB -BootDevice CD -Generation 1" pwsh.exe -Command "Set-VM -Name %MachineName% -CheckpointType Disabled" pwsh.exe -Command "Set-VMDvdDrive -VMName %MachineName% -Path %ISO%" pwsh.exe -Command "Start-VM -Name %MachineName%" REM Await the VM until it shuts down pwsh.exe -Command "while ((Get-VM -Name %MachineName%).State -ne [Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMState]::Off) { Start-Sleep -s 5 }" REM Remove the VM pwsh.exe -Command "Remove-VM -Name %MachineName% -Force" Maybe this could be added to a future version, to make things simpler and faster for those who already use Hyper-V in their machines? (Note, I use modern PowerShell "Core", but the commands will work the same with powershell.exe).
@George King Do you plan to add support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, Windows Embedded Standard 2009, Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (there is SP3, but you need to install manually), Windows Embedded for Point of Service (also there is SP3, but you need to install manually)?
I'm back in my home. I'm going to review my notes and work hard on new release. I just noticed my new RES patches are not fixed for all languages as stupid MS have broken elements positions on each languages. This will need some time to review. But good is I have created fresh 2003 UpdatePack with all possible updates 08-2019 - it can be easily adapted for all languages
Today I performed some tests. I have improved latest build detection for integrated images. More tests are needed, also few compatibily things in UpdatePacks are needed.

I hope for universal deploying engine on next release
